Arriving hot on the heels of yesterday’s surprise SOCOM 4 announcement from Zipper Interactive (plus a batch of screenshots) comes this stylish debut trailer for the squad-based tactical shooter, showing off brief glimmers and glimpses of what you can expect to be doing once the game launches in the Fall of this year on PS3.
Watch below:
After a brief period of mystery as Sony Computer Entertainment teased the announcement of a new entry to a tried and tested fan-favourite franchise, the publisher has today announced the existence of SOCOM 4, which is set to release in the Fall of this year, exclusive to the PS3.
SOCOM 4, a new tactical squad-based action shooter currently in development at Zipper Interactive, will feature a full singleplayer operation as well as a 32-person multiplayer mode, with an even greater focus on realism and teamwork than ever before.
Richard Yap over on the European PlayStation Blog has the skinny on the story setup of SOCOM 4, which goes a little something like this:
MAG (wasn’t that a temporary name?) releases today in North America, and throughout the rest of the week in Europe and the UK, and to kick off the occasion right, a launch trailer for the ‘massive action game’ has been unleashed for all to look upon:
Yes, you read correctly! Announced recently on the PlayStation Blog, the MAG open beta is now available to all PS3 and PlayStation Network users, giving you the chance to sample the massive 256-person online multiplayer carnage made possible by the game.
If you haven’t already gone through the steps of downloading the necessary files that will get you access to the beta, the following instructions will come in real handy:
Sony has announced that its upcoming 256-player online PS3 exclusive shooter, MAG, will be released across North America on the 26th of January 2010.
The publisher also released the first web release of the MAG E3 trailer and promised that details on the MAG Public Beta and new assets would be revealed soon.
In the last developer diary of the series, MAG developers Zipper Interactive talk about how they’re trying to ensure that players don’t feel like a “cog in the machine” amongst the 256 players that are able to take part in a match.
In order to do this, they came up with the idea to break objectives down into smaller tasks that squads of players can accomplish in order to contribute to the overall progress of their team, conveying the feeling of achievement.
Watch the fourth MAG developer diary, where members of Zipper Interactive talk about command and control in the game, below:
Zipper Interactive, the developers behind the massive online PS3-exclusive shooter, MAG, have released another developer diary (the third in the series), this time talking about the three factions, or private military companies (PMCs), you’ll be able to choose from in the game, namely Raven, Valor and S.V.E.R. From the US PlayStation Blog:
“Do you associate with the high-tech, polished Raven, or are you drawn in by the traditional military style of Valor? Or perhaps you’re into the edgy, aggressive S.V.E.R.? I’ve chosen my allegiance; which private army will you join?”
Watch the third developer diary for MAG below:
A new developer diary for the massive online PS3 shooter, MAG, has been released, featuring developers from Zipper Interactive talking about the promised 256 simultaneous players in one game, how that number has affected the experience and how they’ve managed to pull off such a feat.
