It looks like Zipper interactive is doing their best to please SOCOM fans of old and new with a good ol' map pack. Last week Chris Roper, the community manager over at the SOCOM.com forums, announced the details for the next batch of downloadable content. Prior to the announcement the 1.05 patch, of which made some necessary changes to the chat system as well as having fixed some minor bugs, was released. Hopefully, this can persuade some of those "hardcore" SOCOM veterans to come back from Confrontation.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Gaming’s past is full of wonderful memories, many of which include some of our favorite moments in all of video games and helped shape our current gaming habits. And, thanks to the awesomeness that is the PlayStation, many of these memories can be found in Sony’s franchises. But what happens when a great franchise or IP just disappears? While sometimes its just forgotten, never to be heard from again that’s not something that we here at Link-Cable can bear the thought of. So for this week’s Top 10 we are taking a look at the Top 10 Forgotten Sony Franchises and also crossing our fingers that someone with the power to bring these back just happens to stumble across this list."
Don’t forget Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, Legend of Dragoon, Freedom Wars, Invisimals, Lemmings, Modnation Racers, Pursuit Force, Resistance, Siren, Soul Sacrifice, Mark of Kri, & Wild Arms
To be fair, many of those are not forgotten. They just ran their course while others were not given the respect they deserved to garner a continuation. Games that are one-offs probably had no intention of making them into series but I do wish they would rethink that. Some deserve to be given a follow-up.
Agreed. Maybe Sony can contract Bluepoint to remaster Heavenly Sword, see people's reaction to the game and decide wether to give the go for a sequel.
Also Lair can be remastered es as a PSVR game and take it from there.
Legacy of Kain would fit right in there, although sony has no rights to that IP as far as I'm aware.
Ah later instalments were not sony exclusive, so dont mind me sir :p
To be fair, Wild Arms did run its course, was effectively run into the ground, going by example of last entry using characters from all games. Being an STG title on the PSP.
Could always revive the western/steampunk setting.
I know right! I'm still waiting for someone at Sony to make the Getaway 3 lol
I always wondered what the PlayStation 3 version was going to be like.
Finally someone mentioned Soul Sacrifice, Siren, Legend of Dragoon, and Freedom Wars. Those games are in desperate of a new installment. Especially with Folkore.
Lemmings was a franchise waaaaay before even the PS1 saw the light of day. Nobody's forgotten it.
I'm not sure single games would be considered franchises. If you want to say Heavenly Sword is one, I'd also put Enslaved on the list. Loco Roco is in the same boat as Patapon. But things like Tomba are certainly missed.
There was going to be a sequel to Enslaved. Unfortunately it never left the drawing board. Hopefully someday it will be realized.
How can you all something a franchise if it only has one installment?
At that point it’s just an IP. You can only call it a franchise when there’s multiple installments.
you should look up the definition of a franchise.
If there is more than just a game, say merchandise its already a franchise.
I understand what the Fallen is trying to say, simply saying how could you suggest a game with only one installment as a franchise in regards to a series in terms of multiple games.
Even though, yes franchise can be considered what you stated in this context that's not really what's being talked about.
Sly Cooper is not forgotten. They even making a TV show, I am hoping they Remake the first 3 games from scratch like Ratchet & Clank did.
@DJK1NG_Gaming I didn't mention the movie because probably got cancelled since Ratchet & Clank movie flop and Sony might not take another chance but Sly Cooper is having it own TV series.
PC Aficionado: "Obsidian published a survey in early October, asking for responses from players concerning DLC. Now, 55,000 responses have been noted, and the final results are out."
Nobody wants to pay for DLC... Tell that to the idiots who are killing gaming by buying into the current microtransactiin trend without a fight.
I'm willing to pay for expansions. Those things we used to get that were of proportionate price to the base game's content and was worth the money.
Exactly, I'll happily pay for DLC that actually adds to the base game, new areas, enemies, etc.. Actual chunks of gameplay. I'll support developers that actually put in work to enhance the base game.
This bullshit MT crap that takes no effort from the devs and paying real money for things that are left up to RNGesus just needs to stop.
They'll use this to plan future DLC. Yep, lots of small games with loads of DLC is incoming. Just MT's to get them used to now. Nearly, there guys. Way to kill the industry.
Fvck DLC. Either put the content in the base game or piss off.
Yeah I'm talking to you EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc.
i think you are mistaken, DLc in the forms of expansions are welcome, its the stupid MT that needs to crawl into the corner
Been wondering where that Champions Ballad DLC is for Breath of the Wild? Well, Nintendo confirmed it's coming December...on the European eShop only.
Good timing - other than Xenoblade 2, nothing's really coming out during that time.
awesome.. I would expect it to release around the same time in NA too. Can't wait!
December, eh?
Guess I'll likely be taking a brief break from Xeno mid-to-late December, then.
No way am I missing out on the very first ever post-game content that the Zelda series has ever had.
Yawn.
that's not enough content i.m.o.,plus Bitter Jungle wasn't everyone's favorite back then. unless the other 2 "new" maps are outstanding,i don't see this boosting the game much more than it already is but at least Ruins is coming so that's something i guess? they need to make the rotation of maps all together,not dividing 'em up all different ways to their liking [i.e..medleys with multiple modes..] but have it in order per modes. A lot of us don't like certain modes to play in. i guess i just want a little bit of that old Socom feel even if it ain't much,but just a tad is all i ask.
I stopped playing Socom 4. I might get back on it later but this game really left an empty hole in my heart.
I will always love and play socom. Its not the best shooter out there but at least it requires team work and ppl actually use their mics.
Too late Zipper. Your game is garbage and nobody plays it. Maybe you'll listen to the fans next time
