"The trophies will become available via patch in the coming weeks," SCEA's Jennifer Clark told us when we inquired about the game's strange lack of Trophies. Yes, if you buy SOCOM Confrontation, you'll find that it's absent of the collectible Trophies everyone's been raving about. It's strange that Slant Six wasn't able to include Trophies into the final version of the game, but this may explain why we had so much trouble finding out the Trophy list so soon before the game's release.
We're hoping that the Trophies that are enabled will take advantage of a retroactive rewards system. Undoubtedly, hardcore SOCOM fans are ready to spend hours in the online world of Confrontation. Of course, let Burnout Paradise teach a lesson: perhaps it's best not to expect retroactive Trophies to um ... y'know, work.
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.
FANTABULOUS NEWS,ACCIO TROPHIES!
how bout the game actually working first...
Then I can worry about meaningless extras
Can't wait for the trophies!!!
I am one of the biggest die hard socom fans and got everyone on the PS2. I even bought one for the PSP.I entered the Beta, and was not impressed. The gameplay was "THERE" but there was so many glitches, connection problems, patches that made game worse...
That I canceled my pre-order.
Now this unknown developer, Slant 6, finally releases the game with the a majority of the problems the beta has. They implemented 3 new features to the franchise yet took out so much more....
-No text Chat
-No group Mode
-NO FOLLOW PLAYER (seriosly how do you do forget this feature?)
-No Ghilie suit
All traded for a Knife button and a run button which are a direct rip-off's of CoD4. If they were going to steal any ideas from that game, why not a group mode?
HOLY COW how do you make a MULTIPLAYER ONLY GAME with no group mode or follow player feature? Seriously every Socom before this had a follow player... So if there wasn't in-game XMB you would never be able to find your friends without texting.
Sickening, I hope Slant 6 closes its doors after this game.
Haze nor Too Human were not the "Bombs" of 2008, Socom Confrontation is. Can't wait for the first Reviews, game will average around a 6.
My favorite franchise down the drain.
Do not buy this game until they patch this to show the developers to not put a game only half done.
