TRIBUTE: Socom Forever!

Its a very sad time in the video game industry as every kid on the block owns a copy of Call Of Duty and claims COD is the greatest shooter since sliced bread. I personally think COD is a great shooter and in its own right is king in certain areas but Seriously, where were all these knuckle heads when the game that acutaully laid out the blue print was around. Yes, Socom set the standard when it was first released back in 2002? In many ways it has yet to be beaten....

COD has basically become a run and gunner game while Socom still is your tactical, team base type of game.

BattleAxe4787d ago (Edited 4787d ago )

Socom 4 doesn't resemble anything from the old Socoms other than the fact its a TPS. From what I played during the beta, they made the game more like MAG/CoD to please the casual players. The addition of the MOVE is a joke too, and just reinforces the fact that zipper is aiming at the casual market. Anyone who loved Socom in the past and who played in the Beta, knows this isn't Socom. I will not be supporting this garbage game. Looks like I'll have to wait and see what the next Ghost Recon is like so that I can get my tactical TPS fix.

16BitMonster4787d ago

I just miss the old socom days. smh

PimpHandHappy4787d ago

yea over a life you can say that about many many things... If you really get into Socom this will be the one in 10 years that you will miss and say "I MISS THE OLD SOCOM DAYS"

BlackTar1874787d ago

i dont care what people say the new socom is good but it is not anything like the glory days.

NobleRed4787d ago

Socom I/II were the best Socom games.

Vicophine4787d ago

"GREEN THE FUCK UP".

If you actually played Socom 1/2 you'll know what I'm talking about.

Hedberg4787d ago

The Socom 4 Beta has been fun for me and a lot of others....the newest edition of Qore on the PSN shows a lot of the singleplayer and coop that we haven't had a chance to play and it looks like the game is going to be pretty tight....very excited about this game and can't wait for the 19th. No more greening up....at least for now....but, that means you don't have to wait on AFK knuckleheads anymore either......sort of nice actually

jut4204787d ago

G^

Man I wish they had lobbies and text chat in game lobbies still! they seem like such simple additions

16BitMonster4787d ago

Green Up! The best thing to come out Socom!

telekineticmantis4787d ago

some of the old mechanics, I really don't know what's going on in the industry right now, but this is not an improvement on Socom, I don't know how they expect to be part run and gun part tactical, it's not working. Make the strafe faster in all modes, bring back the grenade arc, bring back lean, and for g#d sakes bring back custom games instead of doing all this matchmaking nonsense, learn a lesson from what killzone just went through.

Hopefully true with a single player campaign and robust online multiplayer

InUrFoxHole38d ago

I remember at the time socom 3 had the best audio ever!

Cacabunga38d ago

I want to giggle, but i keep seeing those gaas ghosts those days😣

INMATEofARKHAM37d ago

I remember liking SOCOM 4 a lot for its single player... Its MP got delt a devastating blow right after it released so I think my memories of it were of the betas...

Anyhow, it released the week of the PSN hack that left the network being down for a week or two... I enjoyed the SP in that time but all of my group that was looking forward to it just went back to the previous MP games we had been playing (mostly Uncharted 2) because after that break everything felt fresh and new again.

purple10138d ago

O jeezuz, praise the lord

They have seen the light

purple10138d ago

More info: developed by Geruilla games, (so no kill zone anytime soon).

The studio hired ex- rainbow 6 siege developers in 2019, also hired Chris Lee as principal game designer, guess where he used to work, “Slant Six’, ive just been informed thats the PSP version of SOCOM: US Navy seals developer!!

2+2 equals four in this case lads! It’s gotto be’

Omegasyde38d ago

Great If True. I gave money to the H Hour kickstarter and it was sad how that turned out.

Shiro17338d ago

I'm still waiting for my ps4 copy 😭 lmao

Johnh522338d ago (Edited 38d ago )

If this is true graphics should be amazing using decima engine.

Amplitude37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

The only source I can find with the info you just said is one random Reddit comment from two years ago and a very fake looking box art of "Socom Resurgence" with Guerrilla's logo on it. Not saying it's not true but definitely take it with a grain of salt lol

It does seem likely that a new Socom game in 2024 would follow the same path as R6 Seige' Free to Play model though, unfortunately. I highly doubt we'll get a new Socom game that plays like Socom 2 and doesn't gouge you for microtransactions. It's too niche and too slow to hold the attention of the TikTok YouTube Shorts generation enough to be profitable. I'm equally as cynical about this as I was when waiting for Last of Us 2's multiplayer lol I dont trust this new "Games As A Service UwU" Sony very much. Helldivers 2 proved me wrong though so we'll see

Inverno38d ago

Don't let it be GaAS for the love of all that is gaming goodness. I only played the PSP games but I enjoyed them very much. If it does have multiplayer then I hope it's quality, FACTIONS needs a good replacement after it was cancelled.

Rynxie38d ago

Socom and MAG can only survive being a gaas game. I also don't mind it. I would gladly support a kz, resistance, mag or socom gaas game if it means longevity with updates.

Inverno38d ago

Longevity with updates can be achieved without it being GaAS, as evident by all the games supported long term before this service trend.

NotoriousWhiz38d ago

Games don't need to be supported long term to be successful. Just make a good game. Socom never had any updates because it was fantastic straight from the disc.

Rynxie38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Socom would die again, if it's not a gaas game. Cod releases every year, in order to compete with cod and stay relevant in the market, socom would have to release yearly (resulting in rushed or poor quality releases). If not, every two to three years and that would mean it would never grow to the level of cod, because it would become irrelevant. Being a gaas game, socom could be updated regularly with content and remain relevant in the market.

NotoriousWhiz37d ago

Socom's community lasted for years without any updates. If they make a solid game, it can do the same.

Multiplayer can really work as a gaas. But need a single player mode too.

outsider162437d ago

They Have to have a good single player campaign to atleast sell the game to players who love single player games. For online it's ok they can gaas it. I hardly buy them anyway unless its worth it and i support it.

ocelot0738d ago

Fingers crossed it's true. Socom confrontation was great imo.

A Socom PS5 return would be a perfect time to bring the hardcore shooter back

Sony’s original flagship shooter is a perfect series to bring back for PlayStation 5.

I want killzone.. And I want it NOW

C-H-E-F1537d ago

I loved killzone, I really hope they bring it back. I literally bought a ps vita just to play that iteration of killzone as well. The series is just sooo good. However, Socom would be so dope, there's still no game like socom on the market.

Father__Merrin1537d ago

Socom tactical team shooter would be brilliant on PS5 would also suit a BR mode

monkey6021537d ago

I need this in my life! Even with the closure of Zipper and despite being bitter over it for years now because it has been so long I'd be willing to see another studio take the mantle

ShinRon1537d ago (Edited 1537d ago )

if they could capture the feel of the first two games i would be down. socom 3 is where it started to lose me

T2X1537d ago

I hope they do and keep the Clan and communication systems intact. Loved you could vote jerks out of the room if they started any crap! That was done right!!

PlayStation Franchises That Sony Should Revive Next | From The Legend of Dragoon to Syphon Filter

The Legend of Dragoon, SOCOM, Resistance, and Syphon Filter are a few PlayStation franchises that deserve a modern revival.

ThatGuyDart1785d ago

I would give anything to have Dart and company come back. I have so many ideas of what they could do to bring The Legend of Dragoon back.

PLEASE SONY!!

UltraNova1784d ago

1) Killzone or/and Resistance
2) MAG and/or Socom with proper hard core BR mode
3) Syphon Filter

bouzebbal1784d ago

The Getaway
Siphon Filter
Jak
Jade Cocoon
WipEout
Sly
Primal
Mark of Kri
...
so much potential..

AlexanderHUN1784d ago

@UltraNova "MAG"
I see you are a man of culture as well

rainslacker1785d ago

A proper Wild Arms instead of that mobile crap. Or Arc the Lad.

FACTUAL evidence1784d ago

Great ps5 launch:

Tomba 3
Legend of legaia remake
Legend of dragoon remake
Resistance 4
Infamous 3
Killzone 4

Platformgamer1784d ago

infamous 3 already exist tho, it's second son.
but yeah, tomba 3 and resistance 4 would be pretty neat

telekineticmantis1784d ago (Edited 1784d ago )

Definitely a modern 3rd person take on Twisted Metal, Key Moto and a game called G-Police.

Also what's your idea, because turned based is not so popular anymore.

KickSpinFilter1784d ago

God no please no Twisted Metal

Retroman1784d ago (Edited 1784d ago )

Go to Releases.com you will see Legend of Dragoon coming to PS4 this year.
Edit : Jax and Daxter please!!!

shuvam091784d ago

The list of dormant Sony franchises is wayyy too big....
Sony might not be able to appease even 10% of those classics fans...

S2Killinit1784d ago

Its not about quantity, quality is what would please the fan base.

Muzikguy1784d ago

All these games people are saying are great ideas. I know it's not a Sony game but I would love to see a remake of Soul Reaver

ReVibe1784d ago

I wish Sony would add more games to PS2 Classics for PS4

Also it seemed strange they brought Parappa the Rapper & Locoroco to PS4 but didn’t bring any other PS1 or PSP games to the system as well

blackblades1785d ago

Ikr wonder why they stopped doing that. Hope they bring something like that back on ps5.

LoveSpuds1784d ago

I would assume it wasn't financially viable to bring that kind of title to PS4, they were niche titles originally and although are beloved by those who played them originally (myself included) you have to think that audience is even smaller today.

phoenixwing1785d ago (Edited 1785d ago )

legend of dragoon remake or sequel would be appreciated, or just a new resistance or syphon filter. they should definitely remake syphon filter in an alternate timeline/dimension with different stuff going on. tazer is still the best weapon in syphon filter xD

Kados1785d ago

Prequel during the dragon campaign.

Qrphe1784d ago

I'd rather have a sequel where they fight the rest of pantheon of gods. We know there is an evil god of war (allegedly possessed Haschel' daughter) and Soa who created meant to destroy the world by creating the god of destruction.

ShadowWolf7121784d ago

I'd honestly even settle for a re-release with better localization.

WickedLester1785d ago

Motorstorm
Warhawk
Legend of Dragoon
Mod Nation Racers
Klonoa
Jak and Daxter
Twisted Metal

Araragifeels 1785d ago

Mod Nation Racer for PS3 was a fun game but sadly, it was a underated game.

WickedLester1785d ago

Loading times killed it. But the online was a blast and so were the creation tools.

SamPao1785d ago

yup, the loadingtimes were easily the worst i have ever experienced. else the game was great. but I just could not get over the loading....

zodiac9091785d ago

Twisted metal Black 2
Motorstorm 4
