Re: SOCOM 4

I can't wait for this. I need a change of pace badly, all I've really been playing is Call of Duty and it would be nice to play a game with actual tactics for once. And I'm intrigued by third-person-shooters in general, haven't had a chance to play many lately.

No because Combined Assault and Confrontation were not true sequels

Re: SOCOM 4

Some things that I liked from the IGN article:

All the commands in SOCOM 4 are given in real-time and are issued based on what your Ops Commander can see – so you won't be bringing up full-screen maps and ordering your squad around as little colored squares and triangles. As the Ops Commander, you'll be able to see points of tactical interest in Command Mode that you might not see in regular mode. Things will slow down slightly, and the screen will go a bit gray as you make your choices, but the bullets will still be flying. Zipper wants to keep you on the field and in the action at all times.

To help build a believable story, Zipper put the SOCOM 4 actors on a sound stage together and captured their movements and dialogue digitally as they performed each scene. Naughty Dog used a similar approach with Uncharted 2 in order to achieve more natural interactions among on-screen characters.

And I hope this is true:

But will they recognize their favorite series once it takes its new direction?

"If they were able to play it without knowing what it was, they'd know it was a SOCOM game," says Byrne.

Re: SOCOM 4

Sounds like they are at least trying to make the single player interesting. But we all know that we will be playing online for months and months.

Re: SOCOM 4

I loved Socom on the PS2,if Zipper can return it to incredibly addictive game it used to be, I'll finally take the plunge and buy a PS3.

Re: SOCOM 4

YEAH you guys have no idea how hards its been to keep my mouth shut about this game can't wait.

Yeah, I would've been fired or something. I wouldn't be able to keep quiet. I'd have to tell someone.

Re: SOCOM 4

Re: SOCOM 4

SOCOM is much more tactical. If you run out in the open, you're dead. Work as a squad, live as a squad. Be patient, and you'll prosper.

It's not a run-and-gun FPS. Battlefield is much better about this, but not quite on the same level as SOCOM.

This. Socom is very much team oriented. I love the proximity chat feature as well. Once you learn the call outs for each map, the game becomes amazing. I had a blast with Confrontation, despite it being poorly put together. I can't imagine how crazy this game is gonna be with Zipper behind it

Re: SOCOM 4

I'm hoping there is a beta for this sometime this summer/fall.
