As most of you have known since Sony's Gamers Day event back in May, the upcoming installments in the Socom series are not being handeled by Zipper interactive, but rather Slant Six, which did some work on last year's critically acclaimed "Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror".
At this year's E3, IGN got some hands-on time with "Socom: Confrontation", the first PS3 installment of in the Socom series, a multiplayer-only title which will be released both via PSN and on Blu-Ray later this year.
Here is two minutes of footage:
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.
LOL.. Looks like 5 year old counter strike graphics. Is this what this next gen console is capable of? The guy jumps 10 feet down and looks like he breaks his legs and starts shooting.
Edit: @below: So did you see something extraordinary with your sony glasses?
SUCKS. a 10 year old can aim better then that.
Guess I grew over it. It looks almost the same as socom2, just a bit sharper.
BOOORRRIIINGG old old old failed franchise, get over it Sony.
I would think Sony would put alot of money into Socom.?
