We spent about an hour with the game and kitted up with a bunch of Slant Six's playtesters. They were definitely much better than we were and admittedly, we weren't huge SOCOM players back in the day. Getting the PlayStation 2 online was a hassle and we were already playing on Xbox Live and our PC's.
So how did SOCOM: Confrontation play?"
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.
a console that didnt have socom : P
Another Socom Preview by a none Socom fan...
I cant wait for a real preview
thats funny because after you where signed up it was a single button press to get online
fast login i think it was called! O button
G4TV needs to get real gamers to test these real franchise games!
Socom was never a great looking game...
Socom was all about gameplay and it ruled at that!
Its why i already know it wont look like COD but it will be the best looking Socom ever
if u cant lean using the pad that will ruin the game!
Socom was all about leaning around corners and if these fools dont let me use the pad i will be very pissed
