Up until now, the Fireteam Bravo series has been released coincidentally with other new SOCOM console titles, providing direct connectivity between each game and settling players into the immersion of being a SEAL on the front lines of battle. That's been fine as a way of promoting the features and functionality of Sony hardware, but it's been a bit limiting as far as releasing new chapters within the series. So instead of trying to connect with Confrontation, Slant Six and SCEA decided to make a new game in the franchise that recreates the console experience on the PSP with a unique storyline and set of features that borrows from older games in the SOCOM franchise. The result is SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3, the upcoming tactical shooter that places a player in charge of commanding a full four-person fireteam in dangerous situations.
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.
