Megaton announcements deserve their own topic of course:

I think its an awesome concept. If anyone remembers the old Xenias rumors this was exactly it. I bet these guys actually used those rumors as a basis of their game. However not as much online as that game rumored.

But I wait to see if this can really be done. I mean this would always seem like an obvious first choice for PC online or XBL before PSN. We’ll see if they can pull it off. If they can, I want in.

It seems amazing, but it seems like they are in over their heads. I mean nothing on the PC like this has been done. What makes them think they can do it on PSN.

This sounds like a game that will be delayed for awhile cause they said 2009, but this sounds more like we’ll see it late 2010 if not 2011. Ambitious and very good concept, but possibly to ambitious.

Wow total warfare, only classic problem I see is how others will complain if idiots just jump for the vehicles.

Because so far PSN can handle more people in a game at once (Resistance).

360 isn’t getting this game. It’s a Sony game I think. If it’s a Sony game there won’t be any lag so it’s good.

I’d imagine and voice chat would hell. I can think of some solutions for it, but they need to do it right.

That is, if PS3 has voice chat... I don’t really know. xD

There are 8 man squads. That solves voice chat.

It’s 16 players and only 50 if a MS dedicated server is used. It’s gay.
360 can’t handle it at the moment.

One thing I always liked about on Nintendo WFC games, I did not need to hear the rants of idiots thinking I cheated in games like MPH or Pokemon Diamond and Peral.
