As many Gamers are anticipating this release whether it be the full version or just a taste of the beta. New or Veteran players of the Socom series are sure in for a treat as new information has surfaced.
As some of this info is already known or new to some.

I must say the graphics suck big time, even for a PS3 game.

they actually dont if you seen some of the recent footage.

socom was never about graphics but this one is looking magnificent for a socom game.

@ Aclayps3 below- socom will sell more systems than MGS4 did i promise cause socom franchise is over 10 million strong and a more popular franchise than mgs4 ya know there are alot of people waiting on this next socom to buy a ps3.

It's nice to see some new details of Socom Confrontation because I think that it's a good game that is getting overlooked.

SOCOM was one of the biggest PS2 franchises, and it's definantly going to be a hit on the PS3. There are MILLIONS of PS2 owners that have bought the SOCOM games and those current PS2 SOCOM fans that have been on the fence about a PS3 purchase, might just make the decsion to "Play Beyond" this Fall after seeing that one of their favorite franchises on the PS2 is coming out on the PS3.

12.1 - Agreed
With Socom, LBP, (Far Cry 2 I am actually excited for), Dead Space, Motor Storm, Fallout 3 and Endwar. I am gonna need to dump my girlfriend for a few months. Can't imagine how I will find the time for all this stuff or the money. Let's not even mention November. I keep wondering what will replace COD4 for me.

Socom, Resistance 2, COD:W at W, or Kill zone 2.
