Today, four new screenshots of SOCOM: Confrontation, which is set to be released in september on PlayStation 3, appeared. The shots show two interior settings and an alleyway with some soldiers in it.
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.

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.
I must admit, I was first quite harsh on Socom's visuals (and paid for that with the torrent of hate thrown at me lol), but each time a new batch of screens is released they seem to be getting better and better.
This is most defiantly a Gameplay over Graphics title anyhoo, but in this day and age its the visuals that get the scrutiny first.
your right that the visuals are getting better and while i agree this is a gameplay title not a visual title, IMO it still has a lot to do.
I think these screenshots look great but they're pulling the same crap that COD4 did with the optics. They have the TRIJICON ACOG on a few of the rifles which is great, the US army uses those. But the reflex sights they're using on some of the weapons are cheap BSA or TASCO Wal-Mart brand optics. I realize a lot of people don't care about that, but it bugs the hell of me. There are way better and cooler looking reflex sights out there. They could use EOTECH, ECLAN, AIMPOINT something!!! I shouldn't complain though, it could be just a pre-alpha thing and they're just using place holders for now, who knows. Other than that I am extremely pleased with the look of this game thus far.
should be like cod4 or KZ2
So when are they gonna apply AA?
That's the only thing it needs visually to me, but if it doesn't have it and the gameplay is good then it's A-OK.
