I just read the preview article for MAG on Joystiq where they had hands-on time: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/29/joystiq-hands-on-mag/

They basically say that its the game for Modern Warfare 2 to beat.

I think it will be better than Modern Warfare 2 because of it's ridculously large scale (256 players online!).

I love the SOCOM games too and this sound like it will be like SOCOM but more accessiable and on a giant scale.

Basically, this is shapping up to be the greatest game of all time in my opinion.

It's a big scale , but you won't realise it while playing. It's about your squad and your objectives. Glad to hear they liked it though.

Funny how the Gameinformer article says they're moving away from Moder Warfare, and will have little incommon with it.

Did it deliver on the near insane hype for years that cows claimed it would be ? The 2 year old 360 FPS ( won't mention the name :P ) still beats it down ! :lol:

wait so now m.a.g is getting more hype then uncharted 2 I don't like that btw I didn't like the idea of uncharted mp but from the trailer it seems like ND pulled it off nicely it look like they put a strong emphasis on platforming to make the mp really unique and a great addition to the sp.

That's your opinion. However, it's fact that KZ2 met hype here on GS. It was hyped AAA, it received AAA. You can't spin that any other way...

I don't think this is getting any huge official hype. Individuals are entitled to hype what they like though.

On topic, this games sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

MAG does sound pretty awesome. Being the greatest game of all time maybe slightly optimistic.

Best game ever is subjective. The important thing is that both of those game delivered.

LBP and Killzone 2 delivered on meeting score hype. The statement made and in question here is "greatest game ever". Seems a little ridiculous.

wayne_kar
Resistance 2, ftw. jk jk lol. Yeah, I think MAG has a shot at being the superior game, but its an exclusive so it will have nowhere near the sales of MW2, plus, Modern Warfare has a huge fanbase, where MAG does not at all, its a new IP

Of course it delivered.

It definitely delivered, but not to the degree that some fanboys were hyping it (which is usually the case).

There're always games that're hyped like there's no tomorrow by small but loud groups of particularly rabid fanboys who say stuff like "this'll be the best game EVAR!!!" They are almost invariably proven wrong, but no one wants to take responsibility for them, and since they're usually banned by release, they can't be held accountable either.

Therefore, they're usually associated with the fanboy group that they are on the fringe of.

So, it will be greater than Zelda and any RPG out there ? At last, i waited years for that game to beat any other RPG/adventure

Why is every PS3 exclusive "the next big thing?". MAG is VERY thin on details at the moment so hype is kinda premature. I found the concept art a little suspect, being practically copied and pasted from Clear Sky.

Think we've learned that Sony puts out quality titles. LBP=AAA, KZ2=AAA. So what else are we suppose to learn? Ooooo, Oooo I know, just how many games can I purchase in 1 year. Man its going to be a hard lesson to learn :)

You do know that us console gamers atleast some of us play pc games aswell right? Also us console gamers are having a blast, maybe you should give it a try aswell. Also this is by no means the first time console gamers have been hyped for having huge numbers in a game.

I'm not impressed by it thus far, but I'll wait for reviews. I just think (up to) 256 players in a game will be too chaotic. Sort of like Call of Duty servers with ~30+ people baking gernades and throwing them everywhere. It's just not fun. But hey, if they manage to pull it off, my gratitude will be to them. Just like when I was skeptical about Battlefield 2, and ended up loving it.
