G4TV: While SOCOM fans don't currently have a PS3 singleplayer SOCOM, the next Fireteam game - which will include both singleplayer and multiplayer - is shaping up to be a worthy entry in the series on the PSP. The game, which is currently in pre-alpha, uses a few new features to streamline gameplay and innovate over Fireteam Bravo 2.
Storywise, Bravo will not be receiving orders from HQ anymore. They will be dropped off in a former Soviet republic and tasked with finding and interrogating an individual that has information about threats to the Western world. Once on the ground, however, it's up to Bravo to make decisions with the information available to them.
A Look Back at the Past SOCOM Games
One of the things that fails this entire series is lack of promotion by SCEE, since day 1 socom has had almost 0 advertising in the EU, most people don't even know it exists or think its an FPS.
Ok, why have I never played these games?
They sound right up my alley. The tactics, the stealth, the squad commands.
I'd always thought they were aimed more at online play, I never realised the single player was so substantial.
When the first game came out, Conflict Desert Storm came out too and I was really into it, at least for the first two games. Maybe thats why I never got into them.
Now I'm hoping this will be the next HD remake. To be honest I think the fanbase would go nuts over it if all the online features were intact.

A script for an upcoming TV commercial has the news and mentions some of the titles. Hot Shots Golf, SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo, and Twisted Metal: Head On are shown in a video montage."
Eurogamer.it: I'm tired of the usual game-based political fiction and marines fucksters able to save the world simply on making massacres massacres.
