From a EA survey?, would that mean EA would port it? (IF it happens of course)

Would I trust an EA survey? I think not.

Even if the game will go to PC, I don't think I'll take EA's word for it, considering uh...its not their game?

MAG is going to be on PC just like L4D2 will be on PS3.

Someone at EA needs to pay more attention :P

I wouldn't mind having it on PC if it is good. 250 player limits surely perks up my interest.

It would probably look better on PC, but how can I trust it? It's a Sony IP, not by EA at all.

probably bf3. Mag is probably a good thing on console, but on pc we've seen more interesting. Sure 256 players at the same time is kinda nice, but the way I understand how the game work, it will be 256 on multiple separated maps and you can switch bethween every maps on the same server. Dunno how many people on each maps, but I doubt they will make a Novalogic of themselves and pack 128 players on the same map

Well, I think they're just analyzing whether they should port to the PC or not. I don't think this confirms anything

This is probably an accident.

The game is being developed by Zipper Interactive. Their website says explicitly that they MAG is being published by Sony and that Zipper was acquired by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2006.

Here's a quote: "In 2006 Zipper was acquired by Sony and joined a very talented group of studios making games exclusively for the Playstation platforms." It also says nothing about a PC version of the game and says explicitly that it will be developed for the Playstation 3. No mention of other platforms.

http://www.zipperint.com/company/

Please troll somewhere else. This is an employee from EA writing this poll. They are not involved in the development of MAG. It's being developed by Zipper and published by SCE. Clerical errors, believe it or not, do exist.

Kind of hard to make an accident like that, but i really do think it's an accident. EA is just acting really dumb lately.

256 people?

I have trouble staying alive in 64 player BF servers but 4 times that amount?

It could work if there is a big map but then lag might be very common. I'm curious to see how this works.

Sadly yes. And i bet you $1000 it isnt gunna be worth the time or money to play it. From what i saw the game is only riding on how many people it has, not the gameplay being amazing or new.

I think it'd be much better as a PC game but sadly it defies logic for Sony to have an online shooter on PC :roll:

MAG is published by Sony. In the unlikely event of MAG being ported to the PC, one would think SOE would port it, not EA.

Does EA have anything to do with all of those games? For example i don't think they have anything to do with Bioshock 2, Dead Rising 2, or Modern Warfare 2, and they definitely aren't publishing them.

Its not exactly a good source. And anyway, MAG doesn't interest me, there is nothing really that standads out to me. Large player count? Been there, done that - its the gameplay and design that is the issue.... On the flip side I am interested in Battlefield 3 on the horizon....

Wasn't the Orange Box ported by EA? I mean all the games that came were Valve's IPs, yet EA ported it for the Ps3.

Who knows?

Im pretty sure its 256 people on the same map, its just that the maps are so large and the missions well spread out that its very unlikely you will ever get a large cluster-****. But if you were to abandon your crew you could run over to the other side of the map and see the other 255 players on the map.
