First screenshot from MAG

Sony have released the first screenshot of MAG (Massive Action Game) the big new game they announced at E3. MAG is an online shooter developed by Zipper Interactive that features up to 256 players in 8-man teams. The game is currently set for a Spring 2009 release.

From Playstation.Blog:
"Though it’s early to talk in depth about MAG, we can definitely quell some fears we’ve already heard from you about how MAG will need to compromise on gameplay to support its size. Well, it may be massive but it is an action shooter at its core. You can run around and shoot enemies, throw grenades, and drive vehicles just like any other shooter except with MAG you’ll do it with up to 256 players. The team at Zipper was one of the pioneers of online gaming on consoles with the SOCOM franchise and they’ve used this knowledge to create a brand new server architecture to make an original game like MAG possible."
