H-Hour – “Innovation We Have, And It’s Not More Epic Kill Streaks,” Says SOF Creative Director

MP1st - With H-Hour: World’s Elite, SOF Studios aims clear of today’s modern military shooter, hoping to deliver a more traditional gameplay experience that brings back the intensity of classic shooters like SOCOM.

I hope this game delivers.Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's moved over to UE4

Nitrowolf23649d ago

yea they confirmed it last month that all work has been on UE3 but they plan on moving it to UE4 once they go into full production

alexkoepp3649d ago

Agreed, hope it turns out great. SOCOM is the only franchise on PlayStation worth a damn to me, and 4 was terrible at least campaign wise, and the PSN hack killed the game. Looking forward to playing this on PC, I hope the graphics are killer. With all these remakes, where is the remastered versions of SOCOM, Rainbow 6, and Ghost Recon? All those games are now shadows of their former selves, id love to see them either take these franchises back to their roots or just give me the old games with modern graphics.

''''Innovation We Have, And It’s Not More Epic Kill Streaks''''

‘Innovation’ sure is a word devs and publishers like to throw around these days, but in H-Hour’s case, it doesn’t mean more explosions.''

All my respect for David Sears and yea fuc* for COD.

How can a remake of Socom 1 be innovative? I love the game but i don't think it can be innovative

StockpileTom3649d ago (Edited 3649d ago )

The innovation lies in the community features and the Analytics Sergeant. It is supposed to have a ridiculous amount of clan management options and even mobile app support.

The analytics will also be used to automatically flag cheaters for further investigation and to send them to H-Hour hell.

The game settings will also be fully customizable -- much more so than older SOCOM games and most shooters.

Innovation doesn't always have to be gameplay and graphics... it can be UI and user experience as well...

SilentSolid3649d ago

spiritual successor* I wouldn't say it's a remake of the older games.

T2X3649d ago

Well, the innovation came with the set up of the clans and systems within the game itself. There still isn't anything like it anywhere. There is not any game I play now that has such a rich and vocal community. Granted it was one of the very few online games back then on the Ps2. But I seriously believe that if they just re-released and or combined the original Socom 1/2/3 maps, and streamlined the online UI etc. They would have a serious winner on their hands. If the demographic still exists and I believe it does.

HighResHero3649d ago

It will be innovative without adding modern gimmicks that would ruin the authenticity of the experience.

Really hope this game takes off...if you're interestred in starting clan, let me know!

hit173882219d ago

This is going to take a while

Flipflopp2219d ago

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?

Omac_brother2219d ago

I'm hoping the pledges still get honoured (be a good way to fill out servers early) but I wouldn't bank on it.

jukins2219d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz2219d ago

One of the reasons I bought a PS4. I'll be ready for it whenever it releases.

Silly gameAr2219d ago (Edited 2219d ago )

I thought they cancelled this. The first and only game I supported through Kickstarter. I learned from that mistake.

H-Hour: World's Elite First Impressions Video Preview (GameWatcher)

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."

Still, it looks much better than the last gameplay trailer.

ballsohard20133235d ago

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

brokenbracket3234d ago

Right, lol... dude said realistic. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 looks better than this on the ps3

PizzaSteve3235d ago

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.

REDDURT3234d ago

I could care less how it looks it's SOCOM Real SOCOM.

ballsohard20133234d ago

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.
