M.A.G Leaked Photos Look...

Massive Action Game is a Playstation 3 exclusive that supports up to... and this is true, 256 players online. Well I have found the first leaked images and I had to well show you guys. M.A.G (as us cool cats call it) is an MMO/FPS where the fights take place on a massive battle ground (well it doesn't contradict the title).

From the picture that I have seen I am really amazed. This could be a killing blow to Miscrosoft's Xbox 360. I mean come one 256 players online at once. That is crazy beyond belief. Apart from that this is what I have found on the game.

A PS3 exclusive, the game will utilize a new server architecture to support online battles with up to 256 players, with users divided into 8-player squads. Each squad will be led by a player who has advanced through the game's ranking system. Character statistics and development will also increase with frequent gameplay. The players most advanced in rank will be able to either direct the battle or participate directly in combat.Basic battles will take place within ongoing, faction-based campaigns to encourage the player to actively play, with at least three factions being considered for inclusion; including American, European and Middle Eastern factions.The game's E3 unveiling trailer featured large landscapes, tactics such as air strikes and parachuting, and a variety of vehicles, from tanks and APCs to airplanes. The game will boast numerous classes for players to specialize in; including medics, commandos and field demolition specialists. The game will be a first-person shooter.

I might have to add this to my GOTY, top game list of 09. I can't wait to see more footage and hopefully the company will show some gameplay footage. I have put the link to the site where I saw the pictures. I would be quick as well soon the men in black suits will take it of.

'Saw' Game To be Made By Konami!

Yes its true! The people who brought you the Silent Hill series and more important the Metal Gear Solid series, have just grabbed the rights to make a Saw game. Obviously based on the film franchise, and will be released in June along side the new 'Saw VI', but with not be based on the film, it will just tie into the story. The game will released on the PS3, 360 and PC. So we will have to wait till then to see if its any good.

If it's anything like the Silent Hill then I’m going to go crazy for it. The blend of horror and puzzles will make this game fantastic. According to PS3Fanyboy-
"Tasking you with navigating an asylum and defusing Jigsaw's trademark deathtraps, the Saw game promises to adopt an overt style of horror and make you "turn away from the screen for just a moment because of the visual intensity."
Konami will seize 'Saw' licence

This really exits me. Then reading the article which they got this from, from the Variety site, I had to put it on my possible GOTY (Game of The Year) list along with Batman: Arkham Asylam, Bioshock 2: Sea Of Dreams (if they keep the second half of the title) and Modern Warfare 2. Quite a list I know. Back on subject, Its is apparent that instead of a psychological horror like Silent Hill they are aiming for intense horror. They even want the players to turn way. The story involves a guy locked in Jigsaw's asylum and you have to save his victims, some being characters from the franchise. If this is going to be anything like a Silent Hill game the people you save with have an impact on the ending. So I’m hoping for multiple endings.

Anyways for the full article the link is below.

Will Saw be Konami's second great horror franchise? (Plus, first screenshots)

Leaked GDC Footage

GDC 09(Game Developers Conference®) is in full swing. With Kojima boring developers with what they all ready now, and journalists muscling in on something they shouldn't be at. Yes it is all going as normal in San Francisco. Anyways here is some leaked footage of the latest and greatest games. I suggest you watch them soon before they are taken down. But all seem to be promising. Why they don't release more of this footage with out it being shot on a camera from someone’s bag, I’ll never know. Three big games, three leaked videos.

Modern Warfare 2, Debut Teaser

Modern Warfare 2, Debut Teaser

I don't know if you have seen this yet? After Call of Duty's last real hit. Not i didn't include Call Of Duty: World At War. Call Of Duty has taken a new route in their war torn games. Instead of the old World War 2, which feels like your are playing as Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, you play/fight in modern scenarios. From first look at the debut trailer, you would think that nothing has been revealed. However those sad people with no jobs or relationships have cracked it. It being random things. I have enclosed a video I found on Gametrailer which clues you in on the new game. But one thing people are noticing is where is the Call Of Duty brand? Are they taking the fancises into a new direction? Check it out and comment.
