Yeah, this is a solid idea...the radio frequencies was too hard to switch in emergencies if you had a team detached going around flanking, etc.

See, anyone can jump into your squad though, and some of the prior SOCOM crowd followers would make even the most hard-nosed kid staying up past his bedtime on XBL cry. I'd want it to be tied as open mic for your "Party Members/Friends/Clan Members" with an option to mute the rest of the team.

So I've heard summer as a release date and some random rumors from the conference about it being a Q4 title. Does anyone have any idea when it's coming out? And why in the world does amazon list it for $59.99??? I thought this was going to be the "5-8 maps, online only Socom" until Socom 4 comes out. $60 doesn't scream "downloadable stop gap" to me.
There is confusion about this. It has been said that Confrontation is coming out in the summer, presumably June, and it has been said that Socom is coming in Q4. The theory, or at least my theory, is that both are true. Confrontation is coming in the summer, and the full Socom is coming in Q4.Gamecocks625 said:
No way is Sony going to release two SOCOM titles within mere months of each other, regardless how different they are, they would still eat into each other's market share.Madman said:
I still stand by my belief that Zipper is working on a new IP that will be a "large-scale online game". Possibly an MMO. And that we won't see it until 2009.

Would you prefer SOCOM will not be as huge as MGS4 then? :lol
Let's also not forget that PS3 on-line gaming is more prevalent, at least better marketed, than PS2 online gaming. As such the online userbase is now spread out across more titles, so I question SOCOM's ability to maintain that critical mass it had when it was known as The online PS2 game.
Time will reveal all.
2 new pics!!!
And who ever re-sized those pics did a HORRIBLE job. Lets hope 1up releases the full sizes soon.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
They improved the camera position when prone. That is much better. I like the closer camera... less cheesing with seeing around walls and over objects.
Still not perfect, but much better.
edit: those are some shitty screens 1up... wtf.

I was always partial to the original Blood Lake and Abandoned.
Not the Socom II remixes though... they kind of fucked up all the great maps in Socom II. And that's weird, because all the new maps in Socom II were friggin' sweet as hell.

One thing I noticed right off the bat. The time in the 2nd pic is 15:17, so I HOPE that is respawn game and not a regular game.
2nd pic is from the Seal's spawn point looking out on Crossroads. I'm on SOCOM 2 right now to compare and the Confrontation pic is A LOT more detailed (obviously) and you can see down the entire map.

Those screens do a good job of showing just how much you can improve a games visuals with lighting and shadows.

Respawn games, imo, were cool for clan warmups. That's pretty much all they were good for. I don't think they were worth the crowd they drew into the game.
Hey, is it just me... or did the fucking launchers in Socom II ruin amazing maps like Nightstalker?
I hated that they added that crap. I could live with the noob tubes, but the fucking launchers were just obnoxious.

That's probably far off as it sounds like they might be doing a Planetside style SOCOM.

One thing I always liked about Socom was the animation. There were quite a few subtle animations in the game that you just do not see in most military shooters.
Little stuff... like being able to walk backwards, the way your dude would hold his pistol... my favorite thing was that your guy wasn't always holding the gun up in the air, like he was ready to fire. Mostly the gun was down at the hip until you pressed the button lightly to bring it up, or you stared firing. (there was also that bug that made the gun go up when an enemy was around lol).
It really bothers me that I haven't seen a single screen where the player doesn't have his rifle up and ready to shoot.
That shit drove me crazy in GRAW, because everyone looked so retarded running around with the gun up by their faces.
I really hope Slant Six takes the time to do those animations. Probably seems pretty insignificant to most people, but that shit annoys me.
