Should Sony relaunch MAG when the PS4 comes out? As much as I love MAG, I think the current console technology can't handle a game with 256 players in one map, without having to sacrifice graphics and animations. This would please graphics whores who say this game is horrible because of its graphics. When the PS4 or whatever it will be called comes out, it will have much better techonology inside of it so Zipper won't have to sacrifice anything to have 256 players playing.

I think they will most definetly, plus lag will be less common by then as racks should be cheaper.

I don't see how they can make a MAG very well, what will happen to the awesome "Shadow War" MAG is focused about?

We probably won't see a PS4 for a long time. There is no point.

That'd be silly, that's an odd number.

The extra player is a Rambo style superman who is on no team and just rampages through the match creating chaos.

There kind of a flaw in your theory tho. While a more power system would allow mag to have better graphics and still have a high player count, it would also let every other game (that has less players) have even better graphics then it, thus MAG still would be making sacrifices. So even if MAG 2 had Uncharted 2 quality graphics with 256 players on ps4, other games would still look way better, like Crysis and better.

Great twist to the gameplay.

I think the game as it is now has very strong potential to establish itself as a franchise so by the time PS4 comes around there more than likely will be a MAG of some type, but I doubt there will be a need to re-release this one. It's great as it is.

If MAG released on the ps4 they would still be sacrificing the graphics to put that many players online at once. it will just be a different graphical bar we would be measuring it against.

To be honest, we probably won't see any next gen consoles for years yet. Its been stated that with the current level of technology that we possess that games like Uncharted are as close to photo-realistic as they can be. We shouldn't look forward to a new cycle of systems for at least another three years if not longer. Nintendo might release something to appeal to hardcore gamers, but with the sony motion controller and project natal coming out, next gen won't be for years. As for the topic, No they shouldn't. MAG personally I see as a gimick. I played some of it and it just is not set up right. In order for an ambitious game like MAG to work, the people that play it need to play it how it was developed. Most people that play online are not going use the orders and tactics, they will just run in and die repeatadly. This generation of gamers online is incapable of working together.

i think massive battles like MAGS will be the norm by the time PS4 comes out. and btw ps4 wont be seen until another 6 years, and only then when technology will be advanced enough for it to be significant.

Why six? What information have you seen to judge that? I don't think that battles like that will become the norm either. I think that what they are now in games like MW2 is what it wil stay at. Maybe the max will be something like 64 but it won't be massive like how MAG is.
