First gameplay- level video of the pre-alpha H-Hour has been released!
Over on actoraccess.com, acting talent David Veach lists on his resume motion capture work for "SOCOM 111" by Sony. According to the resume, he is the co-star of the game.
I remember liking SOCOM 4 a lot for its single player... Its MP got delt a devastating blow right after it released so I think my memories of it were of the betas...
Anyhow, it released the week of the PSN hack that left the network being down for a week or two... I enjoyed the SP in that time but all of my group that was looking forward to it just went back to the previous MP games we had been playing (mostly Uncharted 2) because after that break everything felt fresh and new again.
More info: developed by Geruilla games, (so no kill zone anytime soon).
The studio hired ex- rainbow 6 siege developers in 2019, also hired Chris Lee as principal game designer, guess where he used to work, “Slant Six’, ive just been informed thats the PSP version of SOCOM: US Navy seals developer!!
2+2 equals four in this case lads! It’s gotto be’
Great If True. I gave money to the H Hour kickstarter and it was sad how that turned out.
The only source I can find with the info you just said is one random Reddit comment from two years ago and a very fake looking box art of "Socom Resurgence" with Guerrilla's logo on it. Not saying it's not true but definitely take it with a grain of salt lol
It does seem likely that a new Socom game in 2024 would follow the same path as R6 Seige' Free to Play model though, unfortunately. I highly doubt we'll get a new Socom game that plays like Socom 2 and doesn't gouge you for microtransactions. It's too niche and too slow to hold the attention of the TikTok YouTube Shorts generation enough to be profitable. I'm equally as cynical about this as I was when waiting for Last of Us 2's multiplayer lol I dont trust this new "Games As A Service UwU" Sony very much. Helldivers 2 proved me wrong though so we'll see
Don't let it be GaAS for the love of all that is gaming goodness. I only played the PSP games but I enjoyed them very much. If it does have multiplayer then I hope it's quality, FACTIONS needs a good replacement after it was cancelled.
Socom and MAG can only survive being a gaas game. I also don't mind it. I would gladly support a kz, resistance, mag or socom gaas game if it means longevity with updates.
Longevity with updates can be achieved without it being GaAS, as evident by all the games supported long term before this service trend.
Games don't need to be supported long term to be successful. Just make a good game. Socom never had any updates because it was fantastic straight from the disc.
Socom would die again, if it's not a gaas game. Cod releases every year, in order to compete with cod and stay relevant in the market, socom would have to release yearly (resulting in rushed or poor quality releases). If not, every two to three years and that would mean it would never grow to the level of cod, because it would become irrelevant. Being a gaas game, socom could be updated regularly with content and remain relevant in the market.
Socom's community lasted for years without any updates. If they make a solid game, it can do the same.
They Have to have a good single player campaign to atleast sell the game to players who love single player games. For online it's ok they can gaas it. I hardly buy them anyway unless its worth it and i support it.
Twenty years after the Virus Wars, you return to Gota IV as part of the newly formed Söldner-X defense force. Your mission: to free the galaxy from the D'aarg, a technologically superior race that is threatening mankind. eastasiasoft promise that Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype delivers a must-have, Shoot-‘Em-Up experience, blending classic gameplay with the astonishing audio-visual capabilities of the PlayStation 3 system.
Sony’s original flagship shooter is a perfect series to bring back for PlayStation 5.
I loved killzone, I really hope they bring it back. I literally bought a ps vita just to play that iteration of killzone as well. The series is just sooo good. However, Socom would be so dope, there's still no game like socom on the market.
Socom tactical team shooter would be brilliant on PS5 would also suit a BR mode
I need this in my life! Even with the closure of Zipper and despite being bitter over it for years now because it has been so long I'd be willing to see another studio take the mantle
if they could capture the feel of the first two games i would be down. socom 3 is where it started to lose me
I hope they do and keep the Clan and communication systems intact. Loved you could vote jerks out of the room if they started any crap! That was done right!!
Video embedded properly and updated post.
Looks like H-Hour is about to get fully funded as well:
yes sir it is can't wait David is awesome for trying to revive the classic play style of socom 1,2.
A giant inflatable floating baby. hahaha
Anyway, I wonder what the final product will look like. Hopefully we see it all come to fruition soon.
David Sears said he'll be giving monthly glimpses into the game once the project is funded. Oh the joys of having a big community involvement!
