Zipper Interactive, the developer of the hotly-anticipated shooter MAG promises smooth gameplay, even with 256 players fighting at once.
SOCOM developer Zipper Interactive have finally allowed the gaming press to see their upcoming 256 player shooter MAG, and they've stated that the game will run smoothly at 30FPS, even at the maximum player count. A recent showing of the game proved this, and Zipper Interactive has been utilizing outside Sony studios to help test the full 256-player experience. MAG should be fully capable to handle all 256 players when it releases this winter.

30 fps isn't bad considering how many people this will support. Hopefully it stays at a consistant 30 fps thru out the entire game instead of dipping at times of congestion.

Who cares if over 200 can play at the same time! It's hard enough getting a room with 30 people who actually want to play.....too many idiots half the time!

I smell a disaster a brewin'........ they could have taken baby steps and made it 100 players, and that's still too many. This is gonna end in a bad way, you'll see.

i am very curious to see how this game turns out. So far it looks like it would be good enough if it had the standard 16 players, but 256? That is A LOT. And i'm glad it's 30 fps because i was worried that with 256 players in one game it would definitely crash.

It all depends on the controls. For an fps with 256 players to succeed it has to have great controls. It is possible, but will this be the game to do it?

Htown, you mean to tell me that outta all the games on PS3... You only found 3 thats worth buying? SMH but anyway...
Definitely a change of pace... They are basically trying to force tactical play upon us on a massive scale... I like the idea... And of course its another PS3 exclusive thats going above and beyond...
Why isnt there ANY games on 360 that lets you play multiplayer with more than 18 people?? Thats kinda odd...
While PS3 pushes the envelope with each and every exclusive...

These aren't COD servers that they're using to hold 256 players.. I don't get how people say this isn't going to work with nothing to base it on. All we know is the game's server is built from the ground up to support that many people at once at a solid 30 frames per second. Nobody knows shit about how the server works.

I'm definitely intrigued in seeing how this will shape up. Can't wait to get my hands on a demo (should they ever make one)!
