The same great SOCOM you know and love is going next-gen. Confrontation is going to be a downloadable game, just like the forthcoming Warhawk. But this new SOCOM will also be released on a Blu-ray disc in a traditional retail package. Hit the video link below for the HD version.
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.
i'm sure this is on the beta stage , cause it looks like a gamecube game.
So the rumor was true. I have to say I can't wait to play SOCOM online.
This game is the one I really want to push the limits of PSN. Having lots of people in online play is a must. Plus SOCOM in the past pushed the limits on the PS2 so I hope to see the same with the PS3 version.
Plus I got to say I like the different views. You can see that Zipper is adding a view like in Gears of war. Almost a First person view. This way you can make every one happy first person fans and even third person fans. I also think its great to see that SOCOM has not made the jump yet to being a First Person game.
this game is gonna kicka$$

We've been seeing more new titles than Paris Hilton has felony charges.
That's a lot.
Sony's really pushing PSN downloadable content, eh? If the prices are right, and the goods are decent, then that's absolutely fine by me.
