MAG Statistics
Posted by premiersoupir in MAG - Massive Action Game, Patches, PS3 on January 27th, 2011
Developer Zipper has released some macro-level player statistics for MAG (Massive Action Game), which just celebrated its first anniversary. The stats are rather fun: Players have put in over 5200 years’ worth of time into playing the game; 100,000 people have put more than 100 hours each into the game; and nearly as many people have achieved “veteran status” or are qualified to do so (which means that they have hit the level cap). Also, Zipper has announced that they will post a new patch, v2.11, next month, which promises “new optimizations and refinements.” Let’s hope that they will have finally hammered out the last niggling freezing bugs in Domination and Acquisition. Read the entire list of Zipper’s posted stats below.
GT5 v1.05 Update – Lots of New Stuff!
Posted by Jay in Gran Turismo 5, Patches on December 23rd, 2010
So this was released a couple days ago, but since I haven’t had time to pop on GT5, I missed the initial launch of it, but man, they added quite a bit of new stuff to the game. The next tab will have more information, but here are some of the more important highlights:
- Seasonal Events: Seasonal Events have been added to the GT Mode – GT Life screen. From here you can participate in official online events from the Polyphony Digital team. In these events, all participants are under the same regulations, and if you complete the event you will win rewards and experience. Compete on the leader boards with players around the world, in Time Trials and Drift Trials!
- Online Race Rewards and Experience: When you complete a race in the Open Lobby or My Lounge, you will now gain rewards and experience points. Even if you are focused more on playing online, you’ll still be able to gain rewards and levels that you need to progress in GT Life.
- Improved Rewards: The rewards for winning races in both A-Spec and B-Spec in GT Mode-GT Life have been increased for a limited time only. (This applies until the end of January 2011.) This is a great chance for those who were previously having difficulties getting ahead in the game, due to a lack of funds for tuning and purchasing required cars.
- Save Data Backup: You can now copy and restore your save data. For details, please refer to the in-game Manual.
- Integration with the Website: The main features within GT Mode-Community can now also be accessed through the “gran-turismo.com” official website.
Also of note, I noticed you can now also restart races immediately after you’ve won them, so for you credit grinders, it’s now easier to keep redoing a race to build up your credits. This was something not included in the patch details.
