Massive Action Gaming (better known as MAG) is a title Sony revealed last year at E3. This ambitious 256-player online first-person shooter caught a lot of PlayStation 3 owners by surprise and it wasn't quite known how it would be pulled off. Developed by Zipper Interactive -- creators of the SOCOM franchise -- MAG offers gamers an open world gameplay experience while still maintaining that small-scale battle atmosphere.
We've included the developer diary below as well as some minor in-game footage from Sony's Gamer Day.

The graphics look bad because of the resolution of the videos. When you watch the gameplay trailer in HD on Gametrailers it looks a lot better.

The graphics look mediocre but being an online game with 256 players I guess something had to take a hit.

Graphics aren't everything in a game. Warhawk was really arcade-like but it was still the best varied combat game I ever played because of the fact that they concentrated on gameplay ... not eye-candy
I just hope they get this right

snipers better be one shot kill, I hope they make the leveling system like world of warcraft/everquest... Upgrade talents, skill points, guns etc, earn money to buy supplies, etc.

@16. If there is one thing that Zipper can do right. Its making deticated servers. They have been doing it since SOCOM 1. I mean they couldn't even do it for COD 4. I would like to see what Zipper can achieve on the PS3 though, seeing how they were extremely limited on the PS2.

Man Im going to get it but i'm so upset that this is... Wait for it... ANOTHER FIRST PERSON SHOOTER. jeez I hope this has something in the gameplay that stands out, because the only thing that's making this exciting is the 256 players. Gameplay wise i'm hearing is not looking so good.

My only concern is servers will be more like 8 vs 10 and so you're running around this huge map looking for somebody to shoot. I can't imagine there being an abundance of servers that are filled to capacity. I can't even imagine any servers being at half or a quater capacity....
Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

this in no way looks like warhawk. I really wonder what some of you are smoking. MAG looks more like what battlefield bad company should have been. I have always likedbattlefield games, they are the best in every way. this game looks like a beefed up battlefield game, not warhawk. LOL
