This video is dedicated to Sony, and to the millions of gamers out there that made this franchise one of the greatest third person shooters of all time. SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs was the cornerstone of ...

How Sony hasn't made Socom II HD is beyond me

killerhog4250d ago (Edited 4250d ago )

Because they are unsure if there's still a market for it? The last two socoms sullied the name; and today's fps games/gamers changed from the past. The majority dont want slow pace games and 1 life per round, that's boring. People already complain about campers and why cod sucks, yet these people fail to realize why there's so much camping in counter strike, Bf, the latest socoms?

Also that today's fps crowd are punks who can't do anything without their extreme auto aim assist help? A game like a true socom be too boring for today's kids and to hard for the so call "elite".

Bf3 with aim assist turned off and i still dominate the "bf elite" which most use aim assist. It's so obvious when they are using it to.

Cod quick scoping LMFAO. Love dominating idiot cod players, who think they are the sh*t as snipers because of cod and get owned in fps games that don't have that bs.

Capt-FuzzyPants4250d ago

I'm sure the people who played the original would play it again if they loved it so much. I never got a chance to play it and I'd like to try it.

You must be the greatest. Dominating BF elite players.. Dominating idiot COD players.

You are great man. Great job killing the punks on those video games!

I for one would love a Socom 2 remake, but won't be mad if it ever comes either. Socom had its day, and most of the times when those old games are brought back, it leaves a sour memory of what used to be a good memory. Trust me, Golden Eye isn't the great FPS game it used to be that I remember playing against my friends on the N64. It sucks now a days.

Straightupbeastly4249d ago (Edited 4249d ago )

Socom is not meant to sell like cod or bf3 or attract those 15 yr old kids with ADD. It's a hardcore game, that if done right will still a couple million and be very profitable with a very active online community. There is a large hardcore audience out there, it's just that developers are taking hardcore brands and turning them casual in hopes to attract the casual crowd but it never does, and in the process piss off the hardcore true fans of the series who want nothing to do with it So the games don't sell because if we aren't playing it then it gets no word of mouth or Internet marketing. It just dies out.

I have a feeling one day we will have a true SOCOM again

Games to Play if You Miss SOCOM

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.

ONESHOTV22430d ago

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

USMC_POLICE2430d ago

You are looking at the view point I.e 3rd person view. Rainbow six siege is probably most like socom aside from H-Hour

Majin-vegeta2430d ago

Army training grounds its F2P.

ion6662430d ago

Insurgency Socom mod perfect adaption. Play it

C-H-E-F2430d ago

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.

LOOK_AT_THIS_I2429d ago

No way man. The devs at Trion made Defiance. I know different genres different games but this could have very easily turned into a war game rather than a kill the mutants/aliens games. Ghost recon actual gameplay is about the closest to the old Socom feel due to the squad format and team commands but it was still clunky at times. Using the wheel was cumbersome to command teammates and strategies on how you approcahed a scenario.

FFS you could control your teammates with a microphone in the ps2 days. You can't tell me that it is that hard when people throw up mods on the pc all the time that mirror the original games using random game engines. These are professionals with money/tech that most people don't have access to.

(Seth Luisi was the problem at zipper, he tried capturing ghost recon/cod fans with Socom by slowly turning the Socom series into Frankenstein GR/COD lite games)

C-H-E-F2429d ago

Getting that feel, that rush being the last one alive, Rainbow Six is the closest I got to that feeling since Confrontation. And we all know that was a horrible Socom, but looking back at it, SC was a great game just had a horrible release.

I didn't play defiance, but ghost recon is and was trash.

InTheZoneAC2429d ago

A lot will defend Seth saying he was a puppet, but his inactions or actions didn't help. He helped ruin the franchise.
