GOODBYE MAG: My Final Game of MAG, MAG Domination Gameplay and Commentary 1/28/14

  • Today, on 1/28/14 the MAG (Massive Action Game) servers were shut down by Sony, 4 years after its North American release on 1/26/10. The dawn of the PS4 brings promise, but in the dusk, in the waning moments of the PS3's life cycle, MAG's death is painful.
    I felt I had to make this video as a sort of memorial to MAG, the game that started it all for me in terms of Hardcore gaming, RUclips, and the pursuit of a Game Design career. Thank you everyone who has been a part of making MAG so special, the community, the defunct Zipper Interactive, and Sony (even though you did shut down the servers to my favorite game of all time, you made it possible as well).
    We can look to other games to fill the void MAG will leave us, and we can hope for a MAG 2, but there will never be another MAG, not the way we know this one. It's like losing an old friend and is a truly sad occurrence.

    A part of me died that day. I know few people will see this, but I live my life in games. These games, these experiences are more than just some game to me. They're my life. They're my experiences and memories. They're one of the few things that give me joy in this world. People can think that's sad, and part of it is, but games are where I find solace.

    Most underrated game ever.
    This game was like my best friend growing up. I learned so much from the friends I met in MAG and the advice from my ebonite in this game. Never thought a video game could hold up so much sentimental value but MAG did. It's such a shame Sony had to drop the servers. It hit me so hard and sucked because I could never play with my MAG friends in any other game and feel the sane great way I did when we played MAG together. Such a great game. I hope they made a sequel for the PS4 because this was just bliss.

      Not underrated at all; this was a relatively common go-to for teens that couldn’t get M-rated games at the time like me but did have a PS3. It made me get into multiplayer exclusives on PlayStation. As far as T-rated FPS games that generation go, I’d rank it up there with Frontlines: Fuel of War, though that game wasn’t as fondly remembered as this one by most. Nonetheless, I would love to see a sequel to both. This generation, there’s Firewall: Zero Hour, but it requires PS VR.

    @NOCTURNRAIDER 10 лет назад +18

    The game still has the “most players in a console” record. To me one thing that set this game apart was a realistic chain of command. The game went one sided and it really hurt it. The game was objective based when too many players at the time were just playing for kill numbers or just camping. The game was much more complicated than any COD or Battlefield at the time. It was not as simple as taking a flag or a zone. Real teamwork was needed here and I don’t think most of the gaming community was ready for that commitment. I ended with some PS3 long lasting friends and a little over 320 MVP's many from domination. I really miss the huge battles with artillery and APC's. The adrenaline rush while defending your bunker or your neighbor's. Killing enemies while trying to fix the anti air gun the motor pool or the big doors at the main objective while been overrun. Good Times!!

    MAG was the only FPS that really helped me socialize with people online (Got a lot of friends from the game, some that I've seen in person as well). When it first came out it had balancing/glitching issues but many patches fixed and broke things, but they got it right eventually. I used to get Grim Reaper ribbons in almost every match I went in. Competitive clans grew a lot of tension at times. I played on SVER the first few months then I moved to Raven and stayed there for the rest of the time.

    Damn no! My old MAG disc got stuck on my old ps3 and broke. I was about to re buy it until I found out about the servers were gonna shut down. I really loved this game. Such a great game overshadowed by call of duty and battlefield :(

    I put SO MUCH time into this game, remembering it literally makes me cry and emotional. The way this game was, it was was perfect, it had ups and downs but this game was so different from the norm of things, i will ALWAYS, be saddened that we can no longer play this.... if MAG 2 was ever introduced, no it wouldn't be the same, but the mass amount of support it would have is going to be insanely high.... and i completely agree, its absolutely like losing an old friend... were attached to it..

    I wish they would updated the game to add offline bots or sold and offline bot mode so they could of earned little bit of money before they shut it down oh well

    • @winlover37
      @winlover37 10 лет назад

      Playing with bots is different than online. Online, the PS3 communicates with the servers and the servers process all the player data and ping it back to you. There is NO way the PS3 could EVER run 255 AI scripts in real time while running the rest of the game. The PS3 would melt. lol

    • @hudson2441
      @hudson2441 10 лет назад

      You think So? What about Star Wars Battlefront? You could be offline and there was still a bunch of AI bots running around as if you were online and it felt the same....and that was on PS2! Any developer that says it can't be done is just lazy.

    • @winlover37
      @winlover37 10 лет назад +1

      Very good point. But bear in mind that FPS games are different. I honestly believe that Battlefront did not render every single character in real time. FPS multiplayer games require constant feedback from every player to keep the game going. If you notice in Killzone for example, adding bots makes the multiplayer noticeably more choppy than online multiplayer. Add more bots, the more frame dips you'll get. I think Pandemic Studios created some trick to simulate a large battle space, only rendering the AI scripts of a certain amount of characters around you at a time. Even so, the PS2 had a lot on its plate. I love Battlefront, but the framerate was terrible in many places.

    • @hudson2441
      @hudson2441 10 лет назад

      One thing I notice in Battlefront is all the bots get kills at roughly the same rate and are roughly evenly matched. Sometimes they stand there stupid. They behave similar to eachother and the difference in the outcome of a battle is YOU and how many kills you manage to get during the chaos. Going even further back Perfect Dark on N64 put bots into multiplayer matches (up to 8) but they all behaved in a scripted way. PD64 was like 20 years ago...and the fact that 3 generations later this still isn't being done on a large scale is just embarrassing for developers of shooters. Too bad Pandemic and Rare are both gone.

    I would do anything just to watch MAG. My dad played it when I was younger. He even let me play one of the training segments. About 2 years later, (Jan. 2015) I turned on my PS3 with MAG in it. I tried to play it, but when I realized it shut down, I was so devastated that I could just sit and stare at the screen while hearing the music. My dad's cousin told me there was a rumor about MAG 2. A couple of months later, I played BATTLEFIELD 3, and that's the closest I could find to MAG, with its TDM being 12 vs. 12. I'm still mad that they shut down MAG. I never got to really play it, which makes me sad. (I just realized how much I wrote. I thought this was going to be a small comment!)

    I was playing on that last day, myself. My avatar has surely given it away already, but if we encountered each other, we were certainly not on the same team. But like you said... it doesn't matter if we were fighting together, or against each other. We all got to enjoy this game together. Here we are, in 2023, and nothing else has filled the void this game left behind. I'm so glad I got to play it, though playing it, and knowing how good an FPS can be, means that now I'm never satisfied with everything else that's out there.
    I know I'm not the only one still missing this game. I see all of you in comment sections to this day. Fellow veterans of the Shadow War. In the end, I suppose we all lost, but at least we had the chance to fight at all.

    That video was great man, well said! Nothing compares to this game..I bought a PS4 about 5-6 months ago and have been hitting up a bunch of great games, but none of them fill the void. I played this game damn near exclusively, for the 4 years of its life cycle. So many good times!! I really feel Sony could release this game for the PS4 and charge a monthly fee to play. Say 5-10 bucks a month, but continue with dedicated servers, while adding new content(clothes, guns, maps). Honestly they can keep the physics and game play the exact same(that's what made MAG perfect.) The following for MAG is no joke, this game can be viewed as a cult classic :)
    Sorry for rambling, but your video hit me in the feels.... Bring Back MAG!!

      ***** Your correct. MAG the greatest.. Only Call of Duty fanatics will love battlefield over MAG. Battlefield up til 2 was great, heck even BF1943 was nice and could use boats and air superiority was out of this world, it gave old skool gamers like me hope that games will bring more into games rather than graphics. MAG was like a fps gta, gta in the size aspect of the map, bfbc2+ was big but limited by time on the rush game type so you couldn't go everywhere you could see, MAG was so big you wouldn't even wanna waste time running or walking to the edge of any domination map.

Also, I too recorded a lot of Dom footage (which I may upload in the future).

    I am not sure if there will ever be a MAG 2. Zipper Interactive closed down a while ago and the rights for the game probably when back to Sony. So unless Sony hands over the rights to another developer, then yea a MAG 2 ain't gonna happen. It was an interesting game nonetheless. Too bad it only lived for 4 years. A pretty short time to be honest.

    • @Bahlockaye
      @Bahlockaye  10 лет назад +1

      That's what I was thinking, Sony might, and I mean might, be willing to give the rights to a non in-house developer to make a MAG 2. There was talk slant six was gonna take on the project once Zipper was shut down but slant six was shut down only a year later so I doubt anything was in the works.

    I allways loved this game much more than any other fps.
    The teamplay mechanics was insane. It really gave people a Great bonus for cooperating.
    The feeling of being a squad Leader or a platoon commander with People following orders to complete fragos was unreal.
    In my mind the only game that gives me this today is Squad on pc. But being on my ps3 with my headset on. Leading my teammates. It was Great.
