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 game is looking better everytime i see it
Might make it a "big 3" this holiday season with SOCOM, MS2:PR and LBP!
EDIT: R2 can wait until judgment is passed on KZ2.
Graphically, looks very poor to me. But as people keep reminding me, socom has never been about the graphics but the super-addictive and fun gameplay. So we will see :)
this cant be socom! it looks too good! oh man this is going to be great.
PSNID: StreetVeteran (name since socom1)
this is the only game i need right here!!
I am hoping it turns out as good as the first 2. Should be spending tons of hours playing this just as I am on MGO.
