But I don't think so... Spring already has 1 big shooter Killzone 2. Try summer or fall.

PS3超大規模在線遊戲《MAG》揭秘
來源: www.levelup.cn 時間:2008-7-21 編輯: 六段音速

SCEA在今年的E3發佈會上首次公開了他們策劃已久的大規模多人在線聯機遊戲項目的原型，這個名為《MAG（Massive Action Game）》的項目據說能夠支持256名玩家同時聯機，將提供前所未有的在線互動娛樂體驗。

事實上早在索尼的E3發佈會召開差不多一個月之前，SCEA官方就已經向一部分業內人士展示了《MAG》的雛形理念，而在這款遊戲已經被公諸於眾的現在，更多曾經被嚴格保密的情報也開始陸續流傳出來。

一位之前參加過SCEA內部會議的業內人士日前對Kotaku記者透露，這個名為《MAG》的遊戲項目實際上是一款對戰MMO遊戲，最終的完成版很有可能會使用索尼第一方遊戲《海豹突擊隊》的品牌，因為負責這個項目開發的就是《海豹突擊隊》系列開發商Zipper Interactive。

據悉，SCEA當初曾為參加內部會議的人給出過6個備選方案以供考慮，其中4個分別是「MAG：戰爭之影」、「MAG：ZERO」、「MAG：全球衝突」和「MAG：最後關頭」。

SCEA也為這些人展示了《MAG》的宣傳片，其內容據稱與今年E3發佈會上向媒體展示的影片大同小異。這位業內人士透露，《MAG》這個項目的開發度還非常低，包括劇本在內的許多要素還都在醞釀之中。

他透露遊戲的故事背景可能將被設定為2015到2020年之間的近未來，遊戲方式以第三人稱肩後視點的團隊戰為主，看起來有些類似於《海豹突擊隊3》。遊戲中將包含3個集團，從外表來看分別對應美國、歐洲和某中東國家的軍隊。

會議上開發小組的工作人員就遊戲的角色及背景設定是否符合劇本、團隊戰的設計是否合理等許多問題向與會者徵求意見。遊戲將支持256人聯機，其中每8名玩家會被分在一個小隊，不過許多人都對小隊長可以對任務和小隊參數進行修改這一設定感到不滿。

正如這位內部人士所說的，《MAG》尚處開發的初級階段，連遊戲名都還沒有確定，因此我們現在所掌握的有關這款遊戲的信息，最後能否成為現實，或者說這款遊戲的最終形態將會怎樣，現在還很難講。

Game on for Sony in Xbox's backyard
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...eogame260.html

The lineup begins with "inFamous" from Sucker Punch Productions in Bellevue. The game, going on sale May 26, revolves around Cole, a messenger in a gritty metropolis who develops superpowers after a huge explosion. Cole can use electricity like a weapon, shooting bolts of energy from his hands as he battles criminals who overrun the quarantined city.

It's an "open world" game, meaning players freely roam throughout the crime-infested city, the same model used by the hit "Grand Theft Auto" series.

Coming in the fall is "MAG" — short for "massive action game" — from Zipper Interactive, a Sony-owned studio in Redmond. The military-themed shooting game is played online, with realistic mercenary battles involving up to 256 players at once.

Zipper's 150 employees include ex-Microsoft talent, but the company was started by Boeing veteran Brian Soderberg, who previously built simulators for the military, and Jim Bosler, whose background includes time at Egghead Software, an early software retailer that had stores across the country.

Then in 2010, the Bellevue studio of Sony's online entertainment group is scheduled to release "The Agency," a spy-themed online game that can be played on either a PS3 or a PC. Players assume the identity of a globe-trotting spy and ally themselves with operatives, who continue working on missions even when a player takes a break from the game.

Preview beta versions of "MAG" and "The Agency" could be available sooner. Sony plans to highlight all three, and provide more details, in early June during the industry's leading trade show, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3.

《MAG》新遊戲畫面釋出 體驗前所未有的 256 人連線大規模戰役
（GNN 記者 Sam 報導） 2009-05-01 03:53:49
http://gnn.gamer.com.tw/4/36524.html

　　由美國新力電腦娛樂（SCEA）製作，最多支援 256 人連線對戰的 PS3 多人連線第 1 人稱射擊遊戲《MAG》，於日前釋出首部實機宣傳影片與內容資訊，供玩家參考。

　　《MAG》由曾經手《SOCOM》系列的 Zipper Interactive 開發，是款以支援 256 人連線對戰為號召的第 1 人稱射擊遊戲，以重現《黑鷹計劃》規模的戰鬥為目標，讓上百名精銳士兵所組成的部隊，在指揮官的指揮下進行戰鬥。

　　遊戲的背景設定在 20 年後的近未來世界，由眾多曾於軍中經手軍事訓練模擬器的開發人員參與開發，承襲《SOCOM》系列一貫的軍事寫實風格，收錄超過 70 種武器以及豐富的武裝載具，透過 720p 高解析度 3D 繪圖與高動態光影來細緻刻劃出多變的戰場。

　　遊戲透過階層化的軍事單位來組織參戰玩家，首先是 8 名玩家組成 1 個班，接著是 4 個班組成 1 個排，最後是 4 個排組成 1 個連，展開最多 128 對 128 的大規模戰鬥。

　　每個軍事單位都配置有 1 名指揮官，每個戰場都擁有各自的主要目標必須達成成，在達成主要目標的大前提下，指揮官可視戰場狀況動態下達各種“補充命令（FRAGO）”來指揮麾下士兵展開行動。當玩家按照補充命令行動時，將可獲得額外的經驗值。

　　遊戲以團隊作戰為主題，雖然離隊單獨行動並不會受到懲罰，不過當玩家跟隨部隊集體行動時，將可獲得各種加成效果，像是裝彈速度提升、跑步速度加快或射擊精準度提高等，藉以鼓勵玩家參與團隊作戰，真正體驗在組織化軍事行動指揮下的戰鬥樂趣。

　　PS3《MAG》發售日未定。

'MAG' Lead Game Designer Interview -- Solid Game Design Meets Massive Player Counts
http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/69...er-Counts.html

Video Games - Video Game Cheat Codes - PlayStation 3

- 一小隊squad 8個人
- squad leader可以下命令指定目標，假如在目標附近殺人會有額外分數，即係鼓勵八個人一齊行動，而唔係各有各亂打
- 你職業的稱號係根據你選定的skill而自動設定
- 有party system，即係話你若四個friend一齊可先組成一隊，排戰場時會再編排其他人加入你的小隊
- 重生點可以係空降、直昇機、裝甲車、倉庫或基地，裝甲車可以轉去司機位或炮台，直昇機可以轉去槍台位
- 重生係根據預設的時間，例如預設每30秒一次重生，假如死時係在29秒，就1秒之後立即重生，而呢個特點係多數會一班人一齊重生。若果重生點係空降，就會見到飛機經過拋低一班人
- team death match 32 vs 32，自己faction打自己faction，唔會影響shadow war戰績
- sabotage 32 vs 32，攻入敵人基地，炸毀敵人通訊設施
- escort 64 vs 64，偷運輸車
- domination 128 vs 128
- squad leader係自願制的，邊個想做可以選擇，若果好多人選就輪流做。squad leader贏出後會得到leader分數，夠分就可以昇做platoon leader
- 要選定一個faction，但有可能比你轉faction
