This talented studio that brought us the SOCOM franchise was loved by a lot off people. Zipper Interactive is no more and in this opinion piece we tell our view on the sad demise of this studio.
Socom fans speak out on Change.org with a petition to bring back Socom II Remastered to PlayStation 4. Will it even make a difference?
We can do better than this people, let's get it started! http://imgur.com/w2yBsrg
This was the all time best game on any console at it's launch. It was a pivotal moment in console gaming history. Millions of fans enjoyed it and it formed bonds of friendships that survive to this day. It spurred the competitive gaming scene. A great game will always be a great game. This timeless remaster would be enjoyed again by old fans and new alike.
Yup Sony should bring back a Classic SOCOM, its still sorely missed by thousands even after all these years. There is a lot of money to be made for them if they get it right. This game sold consoles!! Always a deciding factor in the past when choosing between a PS or XBOX.
Ever wondered how the third iteration of video game series always end of worse than the second part? Kyle Flanagan explains how the concept of broadening your audience can make your games worse.
Imagine if they made Dark Souls for casuals?
The franchise would never be the same after that.

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.

It's too bad... Unit 13 is a really fun game, they did a great job with that. Definitely is sad to see them close down right after a release like that.
