Not bad, just add lean and take off the last 2 minutes e-tag pop up in a round on the Classic Mode (I understand that it's to stop campers from just sitting and waiting it out to win or draw the round once time runs out) in the upcoming months and I'm good.
Socom will never be what it was on PS2. Personally for me its too little too late. I expected this franchise to be top priority when the PS3 originally came out, but now we're getting a game that looks just like MAG, which is a let down. The community in Confrontation was full of mouthy idiots who would try to tell you how to play the game when they were always the first ones to die, so I'd probably kill a guy like you at the begining of every round KozmoOchez. Aside from what the game looks like, the maps all look really open just like MAG. I'm just not convinced about this game yet.
It's the absolute worst f*cking community in existence.
@KozmoOchez
You mean play perfectly, without one single tiny mistake, without having the slightest bit of fun. It's not even about playing for the objective with these guys, it's about pretty much not getting killed more than once or else you get kicked.
No thanks. The Socom community are the absolute worst scumbags on the planet. I'd rather play a game with Charlie Manson over those elitist douchebags.
Yup, around the begin of the video (1st map) I can see people leaning, chouching and crawling... To the point I don't get what people mean by "lacking stealth gameplay". Can someone please further explain?
I'm not saying I'm not worried (health regen, tactical strikes and respawn ranked rooms are my concern so far) but gameplay/shooting mechanics wise it looks ok for the most part (would have to test cover system before saying for sure), the only stealth element I don't see there is suppressed guns (haven't noticed any in video) but I'm quite sure weapon customization will be there... It just looks like guys on this video play like crazy kids running around and shooting all the time (listen to the continuous metal hitting noise LOL).
Worth mentioning I started playing SOCOM online on PS3's Confrontation (on PS2 I played single player only) so it's quite possible I'm missing something that is also missing in last SOCOM.
@ killcycle LMAO! The 1st Socom game I played was the last one on the PS3. I remember it because I had these really good Sony Headphones on I was looking at my controller (Noob) to see where the buttons were, and someone from my team shot an AT4 off right next to me and it hit the wall. I flashed back to Iraq for a second. My heart was racing like crazy. I'm sure this game is going to have realistic sounds as well.
This game is going to be boss as far as multiplayer goes. I have a feeling this could be the best multiplayer game of the year. Zipper knows what they're doing. This may be too hardcore though for some but the Socom community is LOYAL and this is their game.
I am certain the multiplayer will be great....the single player campaign looks very impressive. The video here just shows a few different maps with fire-fights basically....will be nice to see some player-view vids of multiplayer with actual objectives. Zipper knows their stuff and this game will be excellent. So tired of CoD and the like. It's time for Socom to get back into the game.
Sorry, I'm not. Honestly, compared to other games coming out this year, SOCOM 4 isn't even on the radar. I played SOCOM 2 and loved it, skipped 3 and Confrontation, and now I'm excited for SOCOM 4.
Socom is never a sleeper, only the diehard, hardcore, elite gamers play Socom. Those that always die early stop playing and go on Call of Duty or Medal of Honor.
Looks like MAG actually with smoother graphics. Then again Zipper did say MAG was initially a Socom game. The video looks like Sver vs Valor. I didnt see any stealth mechanics though which is what i enjoyed greatly in Socom.
With this being the first "true" next gen Socom, I have no doubt this will deliver. The fact Zipper can pull off lag free 256 player multiplayer should transition really well into the much smaller Socom player count. Gameplay looks ace as well. I'm looking forward to the beta coming with Killzone 3 ^.^
Heres some HD video (youtube link from a couple days ago) with night gameplay, etc. in there as well. http://www.youtube.com/watc... If I buy any non-scifi miliarty shooter in 2011 it will be SOCOM 4. MAYBE Battlefield 3 too when that comes out.
Anyone know approximately what time the Killzone 3 Beta will start here in the US? I can't wait to play.
Post from the Playstation Blog Killzone 3 Beta The open beta was originally set to begin on Wednesday, February 2nd, but will now be available on Thursday, February 3rd at 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time.
i can't tell if trolling or if an actual honest thought.
@Xilus867
i have heard many people complain about SOCOM,but i would like people would wait for the game to be released before complaining too much. i also think some of the changes seem weired. wait for the release, and if the fanbase still have problems complain then. Zipper did a lot of work for the MAG community, and i am sure they will support SOCOM as much if not more.
Yea I know where you're getting at. 1 half of me says to just wait until the game is released. The other half says complain a lot so they can fix the game before release. I am definitely sure that SOCOM 4 has things that would be to my liking that I don't know about. I just can't help but open my mouth. I want to get my hands on the beta so I can experience it first hand.
Supposedly you will be able to get into the beta with any specially marked copy of Killzone 3. Just make sure yours is specially marked. I could be wrong though, might want to do some research.
Idk about that. I think games like GT5, God of War, Killzone, and Uncharted are the system sellers. I don't know many people that want to buy a PS3 just to play Socom. I think its more of a game that if you own PS3, you will buy but if you don't own a PS3, you aren't gonna go buy one to play.
I second that... this will be the reason I can stop playing BFBC 2. Plus this is built from the ground up for the PS3.... so you know that means online epicness.
Casual gaming/gamers have once again fucked over another awesome franchise. Re-spawns? Really? SOCOM NEVER was about hectic fire-fights and spawning 12x in a match. Old SOCOM was about tactics, stealth and calculating team work to take down enemies ya know LIKE REAL SEALS not run and gun like shitty Call Of Duty. And Classic mode is a goddamn joke and insulting to us hardcore fans.
Pisses me off when people say "C'mon two primary guns!!" God Zipper took out the things that defined SOCOM, and added the exact opposite.
They took out lobbies, classic view (from what I heard), game modes that EVERY SOCOM game had, and add two primary guns, the horrible e-tag, and last and least KILLSTREAKS. This deson't even sound like SOCOM anymore. Just sounds like 3rd person MAG to me. This is NOT a REAL SOCOM game no matter what anyone says!
SOCOM: Confrontation was bad but at least it had SOCOM roots. SOCOM 4 is just...just...*sigh*....one of my favorite franchises turned on me...and because of all the stupid casual players.
Even the cover of SOCOM 4 doesn't look like its from the SOCOM franchise....
This is how true SOCOM gameplay would looks like...
Not bad, just add lean and take off the last 2 minutes e-tag pop up in a round on the Classic Mode (I understand that it's to stop campers from just sitting and waiting it out to win or draw the round once time runs out) in the upcoming months and I'm good.
Looks promising
looks okay,not really alot of hype for this game
Damn this looks awesome
