Aww third person? Booo
Works for me. The fact that it wasn't an FPS was what got me to finally buy Gears of War. Which isn't a terrible game. Though the AI is cheap as hell.

I always prefer to be looking at my character rather than pretending to be him. Opens up more options too. It is really hard to do things like climbing and hiding in an FPS. At least in a believable way.

re: MAG

I dont really care if its tps or fps. I found my self hating the fps only games in graw 2 and much prefered the third person option. But like i said, it was just speculation that it looked like third person to alot of people. Nothing official has been released on what view it'll be. i wouldnt mind if they gave you options like in graw 2, so everyone can be happy.

re: MAG

Yeah, but i got the feeling through the presentation that they want you to feel like your a soldier in a large war. And whats a better way of achieving that then making you play it from the soldiers eyes. But that also depends on what the games focus would be. If its like Warhawk, where the focus is not infantry battles then i wouldn't mind third person

re: MAG

To tell you the truth i think third person would be better. You could get a much better view of the massive chaos going on around you because of this view. I seriously want it to be like graw 2 for some reason. For some reason that game to me had some great mechanics and got a pretty good essense of war imo. Of course I dont want a graw with many more people added. But i'd like them to adapt there view system. But maybe i'm delerious right now. Its been a while since i've played graw 2. Or maybe they can adopt a killzone 2 look and have it be fps and have the fps cover system too.

I just hope they capture the essense of a huge battle. I loved 20 v 20 battles in rfom.

re: MAG

We'll the tps and fps is just personal preference. I've played way to many fps's so im gotten very comfortable with that.

re: MAG

if the gameplay is like MGS4 (third person wise) it will be awesome.

But I must agree with Lupin_the_third (good show btw). Those comnplaining about LAG are hypocrits. They keep talking about Sony needs to break ground and Sony needs to use the full power of the PS3. Well this is that chance. I doubt they will just throw something together with 256 players without thinking and say have fun *even though there will be massive lag*. Sony knows 256 players in one server are a lot, so they wouldnt do unless they know it can be done.

even if you hate Sony or think they are dumbshit, they are not that idiotic (waiting for the moron to say "yeah they are")

I'm worried. 256? Major lag possibilities there.

Other than that, the concept is AWESOME. I just hope they can execute that concept.
Well, I don't know about PSN, but Live couldn't handle that.

I think this is only possible on PSN due to the almost PC like nature of the service, there are very few limitations on PSN just like PC online gaming, Microsoft likes to keep it structured and also likes to keep an eye on everything that goes on, because of this they will never allow that many people to play online even if they could do it, PC games have allowed numbers like this for years and thats why i think PSN is capable.

Is that why there are MMOs on the 360 then?

It looks good if it will work well, But its just about the lagg. Its probably the MAX you can have but it will be major laggy.

There just trying to sell you it, so there like "It can support 250 players" but don't mention that if you have that many players it will lag like hell. But think, the maps will have to be HUGE aswell to make it work.

They will have to try and get some objective type game play and not just death match or it will just go all pear shaped.

Or perhaps they could do something similar to battlefield with the commander system. People who have played BF will know what im on about.

re: MAG

MMO's work external from Microsoft they are still on live but they work through external servers just like any MMO does, Nintendo could run World of Warcraft on its poor online service as it would be on a Nintendo console but it would all be hosted on an external server run by the developer.

Well you just proved yourself wrong in the way how it can work on live.
All of EA's games use dedicated servers.

lol

I'm sure you'll be able to find 256 players willing to play at the same time with a minimal amount of lag.

I wasn't impressed by it. Yeah, 256 players are cool but those figures were just about the only things being shoved in your eyes over the pre rendered gameplay.
