Xbox Live is "More Juvenile" Than PlayStation Network

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97668-Xbox-Live-is-More-Juvenile-Than-PlayStation-Network


Ben Jones of MAG developer Zipper Interactive says Xbox Live is "more juvenile" than the PlayStation Network, which is better suited to the upcoming MMO shooter.

MAG is a PlayStation 3-exclusive online FPS supporting up to 256 players divided into squads, platoons and companies, with squads commanded by players who have advanced through the game's ranking system. Naturally, that kind of game requires a certain degree of communication and cooperation between the players and Jones thinks that's something better left to the PlayStation crowd.

"I actually consider Xbox Live the more juvenile of the two," Jones told GamerZines, because of "the things that are being said" by Xbox gamers. "Each service has its own posse," he added. "I think the PlayStation audience definitely fits more to our game."

"As we saw in the beta, we've got an audience that's willing to communicate and willing to organize and structure, and help other people to play the game," Jones said. "That's the most remarkable thing that I saw in the beta - random people helping other players along to try and familiarize themselves with this really cool experience."

So what do you say, Xboxers? Are you really more low-browed and foul-mouthed than your PlayStation brethren, or is this just PR-speak from someone a company that sold its soul to Sony?

more sony developer BS

I cant wait to see MAG fail.Its also going to be owned by Mass Effect 2.They both are released the same day.While ps3 fans play there lagging online game with guns that sound like pea shooter's,ill be playing a AWESOME rpg thats already getting 9.5 and 10's

ROFLMAO
This is an epic fail: "naturally, that kind of game requires a certain degree of communication and cooperation between the players and Jones thinks that's something better left to the PlayStation crowd."

xD I mean wth. Xbox 360 has way more commited online gamers, most of them have headsets. I swear, MAG will not have any users with headssets or people talking tactics. Just wait and see.... It'll just be guys running around shooting aimlessly.

Who the fuck wants to play with 256 people anyway?
Also good luck to PSN in their effort of making people work together when only about 1 person in every MW2 lobby has a mic.

Yeah who cares. Besides, if there is 101 people on, you'll be lonely.

Me too. Plus I've never seen anything even close to 256 people on any map I played and no teamwork whatsoever. And the graphics look pretty outdated. Anyway, this is just another case of a Sony developer talking out of their ass.

And they bitch about Valve? What a bunch of fucking hypocrites.
