Sony Corp.'s SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Confrontation for the Playstation 3 is a decent, yet unstable, online shooter that will nix the fix for online team-based versus battles. While the title can facilitate combat and comradery, the online-only title misses the target due to current game and server issues.
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
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.

"Would you purchase a game you can’t play for a single penny? Video game retailer GameStop seems to think that it is worth trying to sell to this market."
Depends the situation. Usually if they have a trade in X and get Y bonus for preowned purchases, a store will let you have the excess credit if you make 1 purchase and 1 cent is cheap enough where I wouldn't have to bother returning it or eating the cost out of laziness.

MAG will be missed, my all-time favorite shooter. They're shutting servers down in January.
after this will never make another PS3 game
and if they do
i wouldnt buy it
that the game play mechanics were screwed with. It is too clunky to control your character now and the addition of realism imo takes away so much of what made Socom Socrack. Not even a week since I purchased it and have only got on a handful of times.
Well, see the problem is this game has been broken since early September since the beta began. They have had all this time and they still can't figure it out. Not to mention, anyone who played the beta (like myself) knows that each patch fixed an issue and then broke something else. So, I think it is obvious that Slant Six are "noob developers". This game is ripped to shreds by reviews and it deserves to be, you don't release an unfinished game AND MOST OF ALL advertise features on the box and explain them in the manual (Trophies, matchmaking, quick match, etc.) that the game DOES NOT HAVE! That is false marketing and further proof that Slant Six released the game undone.
