Sony’s massively multiplayer FPS exclusive Massive Action Game (MAG) has now got a New Zealand release date. New Zealand gamers can expect to see the game hit their shores on 11 February 2010.
The game is the first console game to support up to 256 players in one session. Sony NZ had these following comments.
MAG brings simultaneous 256 player online play to PS3 for the first time. This challenges all elements of the online environment to deliver a responsive and quality experience for players. With 256 players all accessing a game server at the same time every component of the infrastructure from the server to the database and particularly the network must perform optimally to ensure there are no bottlenecks.
Like Killzone® 2, the global server set will include MAG servers based in Australia demonstrating Sony Computer Entertainments commitment to do everything it can to ensure that consumers will get an optimal experience when playing this ground breaking title online” – Alon Isaacs, Director of Online Services, SCE Australia & New Zealand
