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.
I love the old Socom's, but honestly, looks meh...
Isn't there another Socom in works? A real one?
I can't wait for it!
in a article/interview that i read yesterday a sony guy or slantsix guy hinted that zipper might be working on a new IP instead of socom 4...
well i hope that the A.I in the video is on easy difficulty cause the A.I looked very stupid...duuuuuuhh
In my opinon Warhawk was one of the best online experiences this gen, we will also have Metal Gear Online. And then Socom: Confrontation looks great as you just saw.
PS3 has games that specialize in online play only. And they sell them retail with a headset.
Not sure, why some people say PS3 online is crap compared to XBOX live.
