SOCOM: Confrontation

Strawbs · April 9th, 2008, 23:25

I didn't see a SOCOM thread so I thought I would start one. I don't own a PS3 yet but hope to by summer time. I owned and loved playing SOCOM II and III online. I always wondered what was in store for the next generation SOCOM and I guess we will find out this year. Is anyone getting this game?

Socom III came out too late for me in the UK, there was some ridiculous delay between US and EU release, however Socom II was brilliant. I didn't make much progress in the SP because of the fantastic multiplayer. Made some online buddies (yes, nerdish I am aware of that) and had some fantastic nights, like UK vs. foreigners etc.

I actually haven't had such an awesome experience in an online game since. The games have got better, but the community hasn't ever been matched in my opinion.

I loved Socom 2 and 3. Barely remember playing them now (all seems like a blur. so many games, so little time xD) but the new one from what i've heard sounds ace. And it's coming out in September I read... I think.

I'm looking forward to seeing this game in action. I'll keep my eye out for previews and reviews closer to release time. It's going to get some serious hype building up to the release. We'll see if it comes through for all the SOCOM fans out there.

Is it released in September?

I believe Sept, yes.

There was a big write up in the most recent EGM mag. The hype will grow bigger as we move forward.

Strawbs · May 12th, 2008, 18:10

Now that I officially own a PS3 I will plan on picking this game up!

I cannot wait to see how this game turns out. It's online only. I will definitely have to pre order this soon.

Rumor has it that Socom is delayed until early/mid Oct. grrrrr, it's only an extra month, I suppose it could always be longer.

Believe me, it will be.

Strawbs · August 14th, 2008, 17:38

Getting closer and closer to Sept! I can't wait for this game. I'm having a hard time find other gamers as excited as me

I know there is a huge SOCOM fan base out there, maybe just not too many here at Xboxic...

I'll be the loaner, the rebel! SOCOM !!!!!!!

Chris · August 14th, 2008, 18:54

I never really tried the others for ps2 or psp. I'll get this one to see how it is

Rossko_UK · August 14th, 2008, 19:50

I'll be picking this up when it hits, loved Socom II.

Bleach22 · August 14th, 2008, 20:32

Socom II was great, used to love playing that. And the original MGO.

Strawbs · August 14th, 2008, 22:03

remember the crazy celebration dances you could do over enemy bodies in Socom II? LOL! that shit was funny because every once and awhile someone would get cocky when they took someone down and start to dance on the body... then get blasted by an enemy. LOL

46Matt · August 15th, 2008, 15:47

I had the first socom on the ps2, got it mainly to see what the headset was about but got stuck in the jungle level(one where you start in a jungle and then progress to some ruins, well that's how it is in my memory anyway) so went back to ghost recon instead.

Hopefully there'll be a demo for this as i'd like to try it out

Arial Assasian · August 23rd, 2008, 00:47

I'm on the Beta!

Eurogamer were giving away 4000 keys for UK PS3 owners

Rossko_UK · September 6th, 2008, 11:43

I was at work when Eurogamer were giving this away, which sucked. They've apparently asked Sony for more keys, so I'm still hopeful.

And I thought it was 6000 they had?

Bleach22 · September 6th, 2008, 17:03

Might have been 6000 actually, not sure. When I went to get one there was only about 450 left

Strawbs · September 8th, 2008, 16:36

I got a BETA code Sat morning from a friend. I played the BETA all weekend. I friggin love it.. it really reminds me of Socom 2. The issues in the BETA are occasional lag and extremely long load times into the game. I've also experienced some network disconnects but this is all expected in a BETA. As long as they address the problems before release I'll be very happy with this game.

Socom won't be for everyone, I'm sure some people won't like it for certain reasons but for those that like the Socom style game play and control schemes it will be a home run.

Strawbs · September 10th, 2008, 20:10

Anyone else playing the BETA? I want to talk about it.

Strawbs · September 19th, 2008, 19:28

New patch is out. Seems to help with the accuracy of the weapons and the load time into games is improved but I still get some laggy games here and there, plus some lock ups. But over all I love this game.

ps. I think I'm talking to myself in this thread but that's okay... I'll keep everyone up to date on everything Socom C.

Chris · September 19th, 2008, 19:54

So wait, it's out now? Or is it still in beta?
