At SCEA Judges Day '08, Allen Goode, Lead Game Designer for SOCOM: Confrontation gives us a gameplay walkthrough of the game. He shows us the classic Crossroads map that most fans will recognize. All vehicles and items such as propane tanks are destructible.
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.

Then why do people lie to me, and say this is 'next-gen'?
it looks like slant six has fixed the jumping now it feels like the old socoms, now im curious about the weapons balance between the commandos and mercenaries
game looks great, should be a blast...It's just I think the Player physics are horrendous. The players after they get shot die in a totally unconvincing way. The bodies dont seem to be placed on the ground properly (bodies seem to float after death)..Also, the physics while he jumped into the water was just unacceptable for a next gen game...
Anyway, I seem to have big expectations from this game...Will definitely buy it even though they dont fix these bugs...
Oh and one more thing, it would be nice to see some nice player animations for while falling in the water, getting hit by bullets, blown away by explosions etc, etc..
im still playing the newer socom. i cant get enough of it. i really cant wait for this 1 to come out. ive been waiting forever. looks like a big improvement, this is their first appearence on the ps3 so i am going to cut them some slack for this is not socom 4 this is for an online feel on the nex gen and for them to get use to the developement, and it is said their will be the classic view
socom baby. KING MILITARY SHOOTER is making its return... ugh (now for the addiction to return too...)
