When MAG was shown at E3 2009 it looked good and even though everybody was listening nobody really believed that Zipper out of all game creators would make a online game that fits a big fat 256 players into one battlefield.So as i did my research on this game i found out that the 2 betas released were very different.The early beta was basically horrible it had bad graphics and it was choppy but the current beta improved on all levels,the game ran smooth and the graphics were way better and most importantly with making a game this big it was LAG FREE!(for some people)
Now as all of you know Sony is lazy this generation when it comes down to advertising especially with there exclusive games.Although it has gotten better since the holiday season of '09 till this point there advertising is still way to close to the release dates of there games.Now with a game like MAG,a 256 player online game dont you think that should be advertised now?I mean the thought of 256 players is mind blowing especially to the average gamer who havnt yet heard of MAG.And so as of now with the release of the game so close Sony is still not advertising the game well enough for the average gamer to get a hold on it which could hurt the sales.
Another big thing about MAG that could help Sony in the long run is the PSN.Now the debate over the PSN service and the Xbox live service is endless but as of now its clear that Xbox Live has a edge and with Sony not advertising MAG like they should it seems like Live could stay on top of the online gaming argument.With online gaming getting bigger and bigger by the second MAG could boost the PSNs reputation and overall help Sony out big time.
So to the people with PS3s are you getting MAG?
