This thread will be kept updated about the game Zipper announced at E3. As of right now its being called "Massive Action Game" although it is possible that it is a placeholder name until a final name is chosen. Time will tell.

Gameplay Information:

• 256 players
• 8 player squads
- Each squad has separate objectives to complete
- Inspiration from real life military operations
• Lead by people who are "proven" to be good leaders
- Squad Leaders vs Even higher Chains of Command
• Character advancement tree to fine-tune your character
- Character development is about customization, personalizing, and specializing
- Not a linear progression benefiting the player (ex. not like COD, Battlefield)
• Medal/Award system will be in place
• Vehicles including ground and air combat
• Set in the near future, 10-20 years
- Many weapons in the game are weapons currently in experimental/testing phases
• Long Term Goals
• Action Shooter at its core
• Strictly multiplayer - Online only

General Information:

• Zipper has been working on the game for about 3 years
- Created a brand new server architecture to make the number of players possible in game at once
• Graphically Impressive (Look at the In-Game Screenshot in the "Images" Section below)
• Will NOT carry the SOCOM franchise name (Confirmed via PlayStation Blog)
• 2009 Release (Possibly Spring '09)

"Groundbreaking large scale combat, intimacy of 8-player squad combat, and character growth"

Unconfirmed/Rumors:

• Third Person
• Will carry the SOCOM name
• Three warring factions (Hammer, Raven, Sven) - 3 Confirmed, possibly more?
• Map Locations - Spain, France, Russia, Kazakhstan, Egypt

I personally didn't know there would be air combat but i suspected something like that with the parachutes and all. I really think zipper can make a pretty fvkin awesome game out of this but the massive scale pretty much throws out the hopes of enjoying a private game with friends

Air combat? Sweet. It's starting to sound kind of like Warhawk on 'roids.

Lodes of ppl would lagg unless it had a really good private server

I think it's cheating calling it a 256 player game, when you can only fight 8 ppl,

Well for me its too soon to even comment on this game. I havent seen any gameplay footage yet. I really hope they pull off the netcode for this game it sounds pretty fun. Then again like I said its too soon to even begin discussing this game as it will probably not make due dates and release sometime in 2010.

Well they've been working on it for 3 years, and that screenshot looks pretty advanced, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they get it out next year.

Wow, nice post -So can we add to the info if we find stuff...?

This is pretty cool... This game looks like it's going to be amazing... If it played like COD4 then you can sign me up for the war, I can't wait.

So why get exicted. I think your just doing yourself a diservice and it will make the games wait seem longer. I try not to get hyped about future games because im terribly impatient hence why im a xbox 360 gamer primarily. I try to get hyped about games coming out in a months time not years from now. For example im really looking foward to Infinite Undiscovery because its coming out in less than a month. :)

It might take a while for great games to come out on PS3 but at least it gets great games. Don't get me wrong, the 360 has good games, and it has some very good multi-plats and the great COD4, but it's only hope is Fable 2.

No I totally agree. And despite fanboy undertones we have LittleBigPlanet more than soon enough thanks.

I did say in another thread though, I am tired of hearing about this stuff till I am shown something.

I have to agree and dissagree . They both get great games. It just seems like you have to wait for them longer on the ps3. They are equality good though. Im just very impatient.

I agree. I am patient because games with time, like the Team ICO game, the extra time spent will make it monumentally good,a nd really not in the same class as other games. But I'd prefer they don't get rushed out like some games.

Generally means the PS3 gets quality titles like MGS4.

Can't get hyped about a game we know nothing about, the only thing we really know is the concept, and nearly all games sound awesome when someone pitches you a concept

If this game comes close to being as good as Joint Ops, i'll be surprised

Joint Ops came with my 7800GTX, and let me tell me tell you, BF2 is far better.
