Sony Made Art Out of Ads

In 1994, Sony marketing reached out to the TBWA advertising firm to begin selling their Sony Playstation. It was a relationship that would last 13 years as they would be the main firm used for Sony's US and European branches. This partnership would lend to some interesting and creative ads in the Playstation era, but with the PS2′s debut, TBWA seemed to branch out more towards the outlandish.

They sold art to the general public disguised as advertisements. It would distinguish the brand, from just about anything.

Hopefully true with a single player campaign and robust online multiplayer

InUrFoxHole17d ago

I remember at the time socom 3 had the best audio ever!

Cacabunga17d ago

I want to giggle, but i keep seeing those gaas ghosts those days😣

INMATEofARKHAM16d ago

I remember liking SOCOM 4 a lot for its single player... Its MP got delt a devastating blow right after it released so I think my memories of it were of the betas...

Anyhow, it released the week of the PSN hack that left the network being down for a week or two... I enjoyed the SP in that time but all of my group that was looking forward to it just went back to the previous MP games we had been playing (mostly Uncharted 2) because after that break everything felt fresh and new again.

O jeezuz, praise the lord

They have seen the light

More info: developed by Geruilla games, (so no kill zone anytime soon).

The studio hired ex- rainbow 6 siege developers in 2019, also hired Chris Lee as principal game designer, guess where he used to work, “Slant Six’, ive just been informed thats the PSP version of SOCOM: US Navy seals developer!!

2+2 equals four in this case lads! It’s gotto be’

Great If True. I gave money to the H Hour kickstarter and it was sad how that turned out.

I'm still waiting for my ps4 copy 😭 lmao

If this is true graphics should be amazing using decima engine.

Amplitude16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

The only source I can find with the info you just said is one random Reddit comment from two years ago and a very fake looking box art of "Socom Resurgence" with Guerrilla's logo on it. Not saying it's not true but definitely take it with a grain of salt lol

It does seem likely that a new Socom game in 2024 would follow the same path as R6 Seige' Free to Play model though, unfortunately. I highly doubt we'll get a new Socom game that plays like Socom 2 and doesn't gouge you for microtransactions. It's too niche and too slow to hold the attention of the TikTok YouTube Shorts generation enough to be profitable. I'm equally as cynical about this as I was when waiting for Last of Us 2's multiplayer lol I dont trust this new "Games As A Service UwU" Sony very much. Helldivers 2 proved me wrong though so we'll see

Don't let it be GaAS for the love of all that is gaming goodness. I only played the PSP games but I enjoyed them very much. If it does have multiplayer then I hope it's quality, FACTIONS needs a good replacement after it was cancelled.

Rynxie16d ago

Socom and MAG can only survive being a gaas game. I also don't mind it. I would gladly support a kz, resistance, mag or socom gaas game if it means longevity with updates.

Inverno16d ago

Longevity with updates can be achieved without it being GaAS, as evident by all the games supported long term before this service trend.

NotoriousWhiz16d ago

Games don't need to be supported long term to be successful. Just make a good game. Socom never had any updates because it was fantastic straight from the disc.

Rynxie16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Socom would die again, if it's not a gaas game. Cod releases every year, in order to compete with cod and stay relevant in the market, socom would have to release yearly (resulting in rushed or poor quality releases). If not, every two to three years and that would mean it would never grow to the level of cod, because it would become irrelevant. Being a gaas game, socom could be updated regularly with content and remain relevant in the market.

NotoriousWhiz16d ago

Socom's community lasted for years without any updates. If they make a solid game, it can do the same.

Multiplayer can really work as a gaas. But need a single player mode too.

outsider162416d ago

They Have to have a good single player campaign to atleast sell the game to players who love single player games. For online it's ok they can gaas it. I hardly buy them anyway unless its worth it and i support it.

ocelot0717d ago

Fingers crossed it's true. Socom confrontation was great imo.
