Say hello to my little friends. All 256 of 'em.
SCEE just paradropped a new MAG trailer into our mailboxes. Besides some tremendous splosions and stirring montages of people glaring down gunsights at one another, the trailer is notable for being scripted (though not voiced) by readers of the PlayStation Blog.
Presumably scriptwriters were the first to go when the corporation started cutting jobs last Christmas. More plus video after the jump.
From the looks of things, the much-touted online shooter’s frame rate has yet to be ironed flat, and tearing is pretty evident. Still, 256 players at once. And how about that newfangled PS3 logo?
