Sony unveiled MAG (Massive Action Game) today from Zipper Interactive. It’s an online squad-based action game that can support up to 256 players.

Our very own Andrew Podolsky was there in person and vies us our rundown of the trailer:

Has that same yellowy-brown, washed out look of Call of Duty 4, and Resistance 2.  Plus lots of Tom Clancy style overlays. We see a commander’s view of hundreds of soldiers on the field, plus lots of graet closeups of firefights and tank battles.

This game looks sweet, if this is in fact in-game footage. The camera is whipping around as soldiers target eachother. Since there are so many, there’s a lot of pray and spray. After the battles, the dead litter the ground. Airstrikes are called in, with paratroopers. And that’s the end of MAG.

No release date as of yet, but the game certainly looks promising.  256 players?  That’s going to be a massive workout for the PSN and PS3.
