In a recent interview, the director of development for Sony Computer Entertainment America Seth Luisi spoke about the upcoming SOCOM: Confrontation for the PlayStation 3. First off, he spoke on what they wanted to focus on and how they envision players playing it.
"We want you to always be careful when you're going around a corner, because you may run into five guys coming at you the other way. We want you to really look at the environment and have to learn it to know all the different paths and different intricate ways that you can navigate the environment, so that you can find your own special routes and routes at different ways through it; so that you can really use the environment a lot more than we had in previously games. Because we kind of want the environment to be more of a part of the game in this one."
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.
fan of the socom series definitely getting both socom games, hope Socom from ZIpper has online as well.
Especially for a dev that created the engine for the best looking psp game.

Zipper knows online so i'm quit confident that this Online only game will be just as awesome a Warhawk. after all they said that they have 2 Socom Games in development. one being online only and the other which is coming out fall next year with a dull fledged single player and powerfull online mechanics will be there, I'll pick this up.. i like how sony is really trying to deliver on their promise for a robust online experience... and this time around their first party is doing it and showing how the hardware should be used... Great... fall is gonna take away alot of my money. but i can careless the games are all timed right. E3 is only amonth away.. people will be playing this at that time
The game looks good, and im guessing the price will be just as good, I'm hoping for 40-50bucks.
