No SOCOM?

[countryboy]

Is anyone else suprised that Sony isn't releasing a new SOCOM game for the PS3 this holiday season?

For a company that is trying to get "marquee" exclusive titles to its system to help drive sales this holiday season, it shocks the heck out of me that we are not seeing a new SOCOM.

Thoughts?

I thought there was one coming out. I believe they said you could download it of the PS Network or buy it in stores like Warhawk. I think its also made by another company, and not Zipper because they are working on SOCOM 5.

Re: No SOCOM?

It definitely bummed me out. I used to love Socom on PS2 and was planning on buying a PS3 just for it. Been a 360 convert for the past year and haven't looked back. Socom is probably the only title that could pull me back but if Zipper isn't doing it then it would be suspect too.

I haven't heard this.

Hopefully it happens soon.

Me too,if Sony put out Socom 5 at the PS3's launch and was a really good game I would have bought a PS3.It's the only PS3 game I'm really looking forward to.

Apparently it is not going to have a single player campaign, just strictly multiplayer.

Its being developed by Slant Six and it scheduled to be released in November on the PS Network.

Hopefully this game is damn AWESOME!

I LOVED SOCOM and to not see it or (or anything else for that matter) on the 360 is a shame.

Count me in as long as it's not too terribly expensive. I've got so much stuff to buy in November it's ridiculous.

Re: No SOCOM?

guys, basically it's working like this:

Zipper is making a full fleged Socom game that has not been announced but is rumored to come out in late'08. So, I guess Sony decided to make a multiplayer only Socom game called Confrontation that is due out some time late this year(no announced date). It will be similar to warhawk in that it is Multiplayer only. I think its only going to ship like with 5 maps or something. I know one of the Maps is a reworked version of Crossroads from Socom 2. there are videos of it somewhere on the net

here is a link to some of the videos: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/4856.html

This is almost worth buying a ps3 jut to see crossroads in all it's HD glory. I loved S2 but S3 killed it for me they just changed the way it played to much.

Crossroads has to be one of the greatest multi-player maps ever, so well balanced etc. without everyone glitching of course. It would be worth it almost just for that map alone... I had so much fun on that map.
