SOCOM: Confrontation 1.30 Update Features (Part 7)

thor - 388 days 10 hours ago

"This is a limitation of the PS3 SDK/System Software and there is nothing we can do about it"

THIS is a common theme with the PS3. When will people learn, it is NOT the PSN that is to blame for things such as this, and lack of features, it is the PS3 SDK/System Software that is lacking.

I don't want to see anybody else thinking that these kind of things can just be patched in. It's the SDK that's limited, the APIs that are available do not support certain features. Home game launching is one example, custom soundtracks in all games is another. Nor do I want to see people saying the PSN is to blame because that's just the network service, which is actually pretty reliable. It's the limitations of the PS3 SDK/System Software.

Seriously, enough with update news. Release the damn thing already. You don't have to make the ultimate update, just release what you have so far and release what you're working on later on >_>

I Agree they really need to stop wasting time updating us and just release the damn thing then provide some patch notes.

It's nice that their taking the time to implement all these features, but I'm running low on patience...I've been around since the first installment in the franchise and as well as Slant Six has done in recent weeks, the game should NOT have shipped as early as it did...

With that said, 1.30 needs to launch before Christmas or I'll be moving on to different titles. Resistance, LittleBigPlanet and Bioshock have all been collecting dust for about a month or two now, so hurry up and get us the patch that features-features we should have had at launch

These posts while informative, are just teases. I would prefer they just finish it and get the thing out and surprise us all with their slew of features. Sounds like great progress though. Damn I love this game, no denying that!

Lets start a petition so SCEI allow more characters in our USER comments!

They're really making this into the ultimate patch for SOCOM. It's a shame that it only fixes/adds things that should have been available from the beginning!

Regardless, I'm still eagerly awaiting this patch. I'm new to SOCOM and I put it down after a few matches once I realized it had so many bugs and didn't have many advertised features, like trophies. However, you must admit that the way they're implementing the trophy system is awesome, and better than any other game I've seen. They actually have a bar that tells you how close you are to completing each trophy!

Once this patch hits I'll actually start playing SOCOM.

used to love the socom series but the beta was meh and was annoyed at it being launced in the us way way before eu (well its still not out here yet) but its been a tradition for the socom series :p and at least on the up side when it is released over here the game should be in a really good state (i hope anyway) - can't remember the last time i played a game that didn't need a patch to sort out major problems

Just make it faster to escape out of the weapons menu(in game). I have to hit circle way too many times to get back into the game. Unless, there's a quick leave feature I'm unaware of.

I really hope the reason it's taking so long is because they're hard at work making more content for the game behind the scenes, like the promised 'expansion packs' Seth talked about. It is pretty sad to me how hard it is to get into rooms with friends on socom, you should be able to load up clan roster, or friends list and click them to join their room - don't see why it's so hard. Increased grenade damage I'm going to like to see. I think a lot of people right now have been waiting for this patch, mainly for stat tracking and trophies, with all the other games out right now it make sense to just play through those till they get this game patched.

The delay for releasing in EU is in part recognition that the game wasn´t ready yet. Since they don´t what to screw the launch up across the pond, they are wainting. Problem is most hardcore gamers, followers of Socom are already in possetion of the game... Like yours truely here... so in grand part... it´s already been screwed up.
