If you were a fan of the PS2 SOCOMs, then look no further. Your prayers have been answered.
Bold.
I'm going $150 also, seems perfect to me. I can see SOCOM & H-HOUR dukeing it out in the future, like CoD & Battlefield. Make a pledge people, be part of history.
This is your 'Classic, PS2 SOCOM' in a nutshell, just resurfaced & under new management, lol, well, old management if you will, HIGHLY looking forward to anything related to this project. I'm far from a gambling man, but you can bet it'll be great. Go pledge!
A new SOCOM wouldn't hurt..
Not only do SOCOM fans need a SOCOM, but the industry needs a SOCOM, in this respawn, first person shooter festival, SOCOM would be such a breath of fresh air, it's almost like it dug its own grave, just to come back this next generation as a power house of a series, the thoughts and love I have for this game, it's unbelievable, I hope nothing but the best for SOCOM, I truly believe it's coming back with a redemption. SONY, @yosp, lets go. You know what you have here, deliver.
You and me both man. I can picture it right now...
New console, old fans, new start.. SOCOM WILL return.
I respect MAGs following & I hope it's core fans receive a new edition, but as a huge SOCOM fan & avid supporter, it kind of erks my guts to see MAG with double the blog.share support than SOCOM, the market has so many FPSs, I personally think a true SOCOM should see the light of day rather than a MAG, but if we ever do see a real SOCOM, by all means Sony, build 5 MAGs if you'd like.
You can thank David Sears for those maps that we love, he was ahead of his time.
SOCOM HD COLLECTION would be brilliant! Not only would it be fantastic to relive the best online shooters in HD with hopefully no excessive lag or cheating, but it would rekindle the SOCOM fanbase to even THINK about touching a SOCOM next gen or even think about buying a PS4 at that...
Slant Six Games can handle it though, they're more experienced now with another title under their belt.
Confrontation with a horrible, laggy, chopped up beta and bad release in terms of lag, issues and exploits, SOLD 1.5 Million+ ... That is the formula for a new SOCOM, if we take the HD Remake route, than so be it, I'll play and buy it 100%, as a matter of fact I'll buy 2 copies.
But you are right soliduck, well said on your thoughts.
We need SOMETHING, and we need it NOW! Confrontation was a foundation for what SOCOM should have been PS3 gen., I know there is plenty of life left in the PS3, but if the next SOCOM to release is anything buggy or hackable like Confrontation, then I quit for good, not playing the most competitive online multiplayer shooter in history and known to man kind, if it's not playable, sorry. Long Live SOCOM ... and if you're gonna take our PS2 servers away SONY you better be making up for it...
SOCOM is why many even have a PS3... But on topic, I believe the servers are closing only to re-open with fresh servers for an HD Collection or another SOCOM by SlantSix... if they are re-opening the servers as 'new', then it's because they know no one will play an HD Collection with hacked up, cheated on, lagged out servers... frsh game - fresh servers... end of story
This is needed in a big way, especially on console... can't wait.
Zipper was great, It made me the competitive gamer I am today (online era) and I'll never forget them. SOCOM is the reason I still game and why I will continue to in the future, they may have made mistakes in the PS3 generation, but they absolutely murdered the PS2 scene... I'll miss you Zipper, best of luck to you guys and girls. Hope there is a SOCOM Legacy/HD Collection being done somewhere...
This is great, I was a skeptic at first, but these guys are serious... Hope to be donating in the coming days.
Starhawk should boost May at least.. for the PS3 of course, I also think once people realize how good RE:ORC is going to be, you'll see a drastic difference in Feb and March alone...
Yea if you prefer 3RD to 1ST, then keep an ear out for H-Hour: World's Elite. Basically the 're-evolution' of SOCOM.
