Being a huge fan of the original SOCOM and SOCOM II, I was ecstatic to hear that new developer Slant Six (maker of PSP title SOCOM: Tactical Strike) are focusing on a close-quarters, tactical combat gameplay for upcoming online shooter, SOCOM: Confrontation. This sort of realistic gameplay made the earlier titles two of the most popular online PS2 games with a strong online community behind them as well. With help of original developer Zipper Interactive, Slant Six Games is really determined to focus on what gamers enjoyed from the first two games and learn from what gamers didn't like from SOCOM III and SOCOM: Combined Assault, like vehicles and massive-scale maps. All-new features such as enhanced clan customizations, Sixaxis controls, six unique special forces and seven maps at launch, make September seem so long away. With a complete overhaul of the game and a huge leap forward in technology with the PS3, SOCOM: Confrontation is looking like the next-gen SOCOM experience we've all been waiting for."
