One Angry Gamer "After a decade of sitting in a giant, old, dusty vault, Sony Computer Entertainment and La-La Land Records have decided to blow the proverbial dust off the original soundtracks for SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault and SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALS and release the OSTs to the public in a two-disc format."
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.
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
You are looking at the view point I.e 3rd person view. Rainbow six siege is probably most like socom aside from H-Hour
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.
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)
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.
A lot will defend Seth saying he was a puppet, but his inactions or actions didn't help. He helped ruin the franchise.
TRS writes: "As a token of appreciation for the SOCOM fanbase’s support with H-Hour, David Sears has shared some never before seen footage from his home movie collection. The following footage was filmed during the early production days of SOCOM at Zipper Interactive on a research trip to Morocco."
Looking at the kickstarter, it doesn't look like they are on pace to hit their goal. Perhaps if it was $100,000? That, or if it actually had "SOCOM" in the name, but sadly Sony owns that IP.
Come on people, where is the Socom fanbase when we need them? Help support the H-Hour kickstarter!

I think we should follow them on social media websites and people will also come to know about them.

The season is nearly over and already the Reds are being linked with some big changes over the summer months.
We know about the additions of Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and Chris Smalling, who'll arrive in the close-season, but Sir Alex has hinted at one or two further signings. "We have a very good squad that just needs tweaking here and there," he said recently. But youth is almost certainly a prerequisite for any summer purchases.
The latest names being bandied around Fleet Street are Spurs pair Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, with a combined transfer total of £45m. Keep returning to this page for all the latest rumours.
Wait can this be a hint toward the big announcement in December? SOCOM revival?
