A Brand new trailer released by Sony for SOCOM Confrontation called Extraction.
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.
but plays awesome
cant wait
i agree with you but im a sony fanboy and i even have to say that the graphics look like a really good ps2 game, hopefully it will look better when it comes out.
nice trailer, game looks great!
and I am starting to get a little disappointed. I have been looking forward to a PS3 Socom, but it is starting to look fairly lackluster to me. I know it is beta right now but the tearing is not a bug that gets worked out in a beta phase ( correct me if I am wrong, I might be ) I have the new video from the PSS and the preview in the first episode in Qore, and the tearing is in every video. Hopefully the beta will change my mind about what I am seeing. A lot of people on the ps boards are saying it is just the video transfer but unless there are problems with every SOCOM video transfer than there is evident tearing.
Here's my guess - whilst the game will be scooped up by diehard socom fanatics, the majority will see the sub-par graphics, then the unchanged gameplay from previous iterations, compare it with the hundreds of other shooters on the market, then say "no thanks". I don't see what the point is in releasing a game with pretty much the same gameplay as before, unless you're going to revamp the graphics. If wipeout HD was instead just an SD port of pulse or pure, would anyone be excited about it? I _know_ that there are many people who enjoyed the previous games, but whenever a game comes out and it's just the same, even minus a single player element, and vehicles (were vehicles in socom 3?), it is NOT going to be positively reviewed. I don't _really_ know why this game is up there in hype with R2 and LBP, but I'm sure someone can inform me.
