Socom is one of those franchises in gaming where they players are fierce and extremely competitive. They are devoted as they are vocal. And they have no problems telling the developer of their favorite series what they like/ don't like. They loved the first two games on the PS2 as well as the PSP versions. They didn't seem too fond of the any of the others beyond that. Even with Zipper Interactive now gone, Sony has stated that they weren't done with Socom. But there may not be a need to wait for them. This is where H Hour: World's Elite comes in.
Twenty years after the Virus Wars, you return to Gota IV as part of the newly formed Söldner-X defense force. Your mission: to free the galaxy from the D'aarg, a technologically superior race that is threatening mankind. eastasiasoft promise that Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype delivers a must-have, Shoot-‘Em-Up experience, blending classic gameplay with the astonishing audio-visual capabilities of the PlayStation 3 system.
Touted as the spiritual successor to the SOCOM series, H-Hour: World’s Elite has now entered the Beta stage of development and work has begun on the PS4 version of the game.
Really hope this game takes off...if you're interestred in starting clan, let me know!
Wonder if I'll get my PS4 copy when I pledged to back this a long time ago on Kickstarter? Or is that campaign promise dead?
I'm hoping the pledges still get honoured (be a good way to fill out servers early) but I wouldn't bank on it.
Wondering the same I'm doubtful since its been so long I figured this was done. Remember reading the director left a couple years ago figured it was all done from there
One of the reasons I bought a PS4. I'll be ready for it whenever it releases.
I thought they cancelled this. The first and only game I supported through Kickstarter. I learned from that mistake.
From GameWatcher: "H-Hour World's Elite has the core of a decent multiplayer shooter, but with so little content and such a small player base it is impossible to recommend it at this stage. Hold on to your wallet until a significant update."
ok... so its 2015... We have two powerful consoles that are on par with Mid-Level PC's... what the eff is this? The narrator says realism in movement etc whic i think is bullshit. Im from the socrack aka socom 1/2 era, so i get it but at this period and gaming there is so much the developers can do and make this game look much better. Heck, this game doesnt even look better Confrontation. Metal Gear... i'll be patiently waiting lol
Right, lol... dude said realistic. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 looks better than this on the ps3
They doing the best they can. Like I said before they should have asked Sony for production help since Socom started on PS. They want to be independent I know but I don't think I will support this game if it stay like this. I'd be patient.
no its goddam waste of money lol. You act like socom had trash graphics. Remember when socom 1 came out it innovated mic talk and communication on Playstation. The first two were innovative.. Theres absolutely nothing innovative about this title. Its an absolute dumpster fire and they will put out a dud and wonder why its not getting any purchases and fan support. Stop letting these developers shove bullshit down your throat and forking over your money. MAKE THEM EARN IT SHEESH.
As former hardcore socomer I just want a game that resembles the game i use to love and play and not try to be like Cod or any other game/ unfortunately as a hardcore socomer we've been let down too many times by developers and they end up modeling the game after Cod or etc which I dont want
heres to hoping H HOur is as fun as socom was
I would also love to see this game come to life. It has raised close to $70,000 on Kickstarter as of right now. Its goal is 200k with 16 days left. Its a big stretch to get there. I am donating.
"Will Socom fans appreciate H Hour: World's Elite?"
Is it at all possible to know at this point???
No!
I was a huge socom fan but that community has been ruined by self entitled whiners. All they do is vote you out of games and dont let the community grow. I got voted out of a room last week after a long break from the series. They vote you out for nothing. I messaged the dude and told him he and boys were pussies. Then they rat ne out to sony and i got banned for a week. Bunch of rat pussies. Why bother making a game for them. They ll only whine about it. Just like socom 3, confrontation and 4.
@Tapioca Cold, I know the voting can get out of hand. But why say no to a new game. The community "whined" because they totally changed the series after S2.
