Can't you devs think of anything else?

The online was the best part about it, Socom is by far the best tactical shooter on the console market.

SOCOM Confrontation...day one DL for me. Any SOCOM/tacbangers feel free to send me a friend's request on either platform.

KosherInfidel

Aw, you missed Socom II, which is easily the best and most popular of the bunch. Over 25,000 still play daily :D

Also like others have said, these are (or where, atleast) very tactical games. 1-3 shots WILL kill you. If you wanna run around like rambo you WILL die.

I think thats the appeal for most ppl.

If they can go back to what made S2 so good, and expand on it, I think they've got a winner.

PS. I haven't played much GRAW so I can really compare the two.

just save $400 and your good to go. games will end up costing more in the end. as with ANY video game system. (maybe even PC?..)

Have to differentiate your game from all the others somehow!

I speak Arabic and it does say "Men's Bath", there is also one for women on the top screen (what the hell?)

maybe you belong to the new generation of "gamers" in a age range between 10 - 15yo and never had the pleasure of playing a true team co-op strat shooter like SOCOM and don't have a clue about this great title

*can't be as good

spargo_1

So.. Cuz the graphics look the same as other shooters it can be as good?

Gameplay my friend. That is what Socom is famous for and still reigns supreme in. Some of the best gameplay in a shooter I have ever witnessed.

Socom 2 was doing years ago what CoD4 does today. Its intense stuff and not for faint of heart, you need guts, strategy and teamwork to succeed in Socom. Call of Duty all you need is a grenade launcher...

Awesome, that means that there could be a good player base on it since it's new and not a rehash. I'll be keeping my eye on this one. I tried the Haze demo a while back (with a UK account instead of the States where it just got released), and while it's not bad, it didn't really pique my interest or look that impressive. Seemed a bit run of the mill. This certainly looks to have it beaten visually.

Puck

It's a completely new game. Soome of the more famous maps like Crossroads have been revamped and expanded. The Dualshock works pretty well for SOCOM games as indicated by the popularity of the franchise on the PS2. There still may be a keyboard/mouse option though.

LittleBigPlaneteer

I might give a try, especially if there's a demo. Keyboard and mouse would be a must though.

Puck

Yes,UDF is a great game..I'm a little biased,but it's my favorite.

enewtabie

But those are the ones that REALLY make me want to get the PS3. Not much else calls my attention as much (not to say they aren't good).

I guess you could say the other titles are on the back-burner, so to speak. :P

Coquiton

One thing for sure about the SOCOM series is that its by far more associated with proper teamwork than COD4.

Witzbold

I might give it a try if the reviews are great

LosDaddie

At the worst of times, deranged firefights much akin to most shooters.

Basically take MGO, get rid of the Metal Gear quirks, and speed it up.

Had some of the best gameplay modes as well.

@BlackIce - I heard that there was going to be a beta I don't know if its a public one, could be like the PSP one, where you get sent the disk in the mail, of maybe a direct download from PSN store?

pimpsc00by

its going to be on Blu-ray too with a headset ala Warhawk

@Shandy706:

Socom has never been about the graphics tho...just the sweet third person gameplay

Captain Fury

Socom is a fast paced game. But it helps to win if you play with some tactics.

Also all the options for search and destroy in COD4 has been around in socom for ages.

gnudna

Great team based game.

Puck

What is the gameplay like? Is it similar to GRAW online?

On a side note does any one know if there will be a public beta for this game?

BlackIceJoe

whats DF?

your missing several exclusives from that list, but i guess those are the ones you are interested in.

(Anyone else having a format crash on this page?)

The graphics look really stunning, except in the third screen, the distant buildings look really uninspired, flat, textureless and simple to me. Some of them literally look like a white box made in MS Paint with two black boxes inside.

MGS4, LBP, DF, Warhawk, now THIS?

Damn you Sony, you and your expensive console!
