Last year I wrote an article titled, The State of SOCOM. I discussed my
love and history for the beloved third person shooter that helped pioneer
online multiplayer on consoles. It has been six years since we last had a
new SOCOM game.
Baffles me as to why they have not done anything with this franchise. Seeing as how it was #1 on the official PlayStation poll.
With all the trash put up weekly on the App Store why has nobody done a clone of this yet. I've been playing Defiance as my go to 3rd person since 2013 but still nothing like that old school Socom/Socom 2 up all night gameplay.
the only game on that list that's like socom is wild land if you want socom type games then you will have to invest in a PC
RAINBOW SIX: is the closest you'll get to Socom.
Also, in response to @lookatthisi
They let go the creators, and I think socom is a game that's hard to clone even the creators had a hard time making Socom 2, Socom 3.

"Would you purchase a game you can’t play for a single penny? Video game retailer GameStop seems to think that it is worth trying to sell to this market."
Depends the situation. Usually if they have a trade in X and get Y bonus for preowned purchases, a store will let you have the excess credit if you make 1 purchase and 1 cent is cheap enough where I wouldn't have to bother returning it or eating the cost out of laziness.

MAG will be missed, my all-time favorite shooter. They're shutting servers down in January.
This is good to hear, I liked the game at first, but it honestly didn't feel like a finished game right away.
I played about a year ago, it was alright, but I'm gonna have to pop it back in soon for a change of pace.
I also got the game used day 1, saved $5 because someone returned the game after realizing there was no single player.
Interesting report on the bastard child of the Socom franchise. This is one of those love it or hate it games, with many people loving it and many people hating it.
I've heard that Slant Six was given a "PS2 Budget" to complete this game with though, setting the stage for a difficult development cycle.
I had mixed feeling for this title, i love it as much as i hate it. it wasn't all that bad specially after all the Patches that followed it.
But all that is past, all i am waiting for is the Behemoth that is Socom 4.
I Liked confrontation i still play it, You will meet ppl who votes you out or team kills you.
Aint impressed with socom 4 looks like mag 2.
I enjoyed what time I did have with Socom Confrontation. It's not the best ever, but not near as bad as most people claimed.
NavySeal74, at least give Socom 4 a chance. I'm really hoping it plays more like the original Socom and Socom II.
