Zipper Interactive's MAG which amazingly stands for Massive Action Game which has to be the best ever name for a game (loved to have been in the room when they where thinking that over). The game is only coming out for playstation 3.
 
So from what little we know its a modern first person shooter but with a twist it can have battles with up to 256 people, you would think it would just be chaos with this much people online in one battle but there is some organisation to it, players are split up into to eight person squads with each different squad having different objectives and advanced players can be generals,commanders etc. Players can also customize there character and from what ive heard you can so in some depth.

Sadly we didnt see any gameplay footage throughout E3, but we did get to see a really cool trailer of a battle with a huge team attacking an army base with tanks,armoured vehicles and loads of foot soldiers it showed the attacking team really struggling and the defending team eventually managing to fight off the attack but thats when the attacking team called for reinforcements, planes fly overhead dropping bombs and soldiers parachuting down.

The game's release date is TBA but we can probably expect it to be out in 2009. This game could be very very good or could have alot of problems in it, it could also change MMO gaming forever, i think people will be glad  to see finaly someone is pushing the playstation limits.
