s2 suffered major frame rate problems and it was far from the prettiest PS2 game. The inconsistent frame rate made rushing a frustrating experience, and I hope Slant Six realizes this, especially since they keep telling us how this game is all about intimate combat.
Doel said:HUGE NEWS!
First of all, check out the 1up interview lots of good info.
And now, for the big news. SOCOM Confrontation will be on The 1up Show this Friday! FUCK YES
Awwww yea!!!!!!!!!!
Cool, blog by the way. I'd like to play with you when Confrontation is finally here. I'll already have at least 5-8 guys to form our new clan ready to go! As big of a SOCOM fan as you obviously are, (of course, so am I) you better be good!

If SOCOM Tactical Strike for PSP can be used as an indication about how Slant Six approaches the frame rate thing, you can sleep well. Game was silky smooth, despite being "just" a tactical game. I'm not expecting 60fps. But I bet it will be rocksolid 30fps.
i'm abit sad at the textures in the screenshots 1up put up yesterday granted i won't really be noticing textures once the game is running. this screenshot is really really really bugging me though. the lighting on the guy is horrible considering he's partly in the shadows and this could totally change gameplay because of characters not being able to be as stealthy as possible:

So for someone who has never played a Socom game, how does it play? Respawns? Objectives? Cash for guns? One-hit kills? Realistic or arcadey? Little bit of both?

This is the one game that would make me sell my Wii in order to get a PS3. I just may do it. Loved, loved socom. There's no other game like it.

yeah I totally agree with you, I would love a map in heaven, with all those angels
um...those aren't socom maps
The main meat of the game is no respawn, round-based (best of 11), realistic in gun damage but also slightly arcady in how it feels, no cash involved, and about 7 different modes.Danne-Danger said:
Think Counter-Strike, but in 3rd person, no cash, and with more abilities available to the player and maps that are bar-none, the best set I've ever played in a shooter. Lots of depth to them (always new spots and strategies to discover) and each map being built around 1 mode I believe helped a lot.
I'm sure you all know by now, the 1up show is up with Confrontation footage/interview!
I think it's looking really good.

I'm thinking about buying a network adapter for my first generation PS2 so I can play SOCOM 1 online.
Would you guys happen to know if my Xbox 360 wireless adapter would be compatible with it?
Edit: It's actually an Xbox wireless adapter that is connected to the console by an ethernet cable.

The best part was 11 minuits to 11 minuits 9 seconds.... most of it was staged, but the last 9 seconds loked like real gameplay.. My main concerns were that the running speed looked a bit slow, and that the Recoil is NOT socom like, and needs fixing

Looks good for pre-alpha.
Some things I noticed right away.
-The third person view doesn't look the same. The character isn't in a centered overhead position anymore it's slightly to the left.
-The accuracy is ridiculous and there doesn't seem to be much bullet deviation or recoil. I hope they tone that shit down and make it more realistic.

The new over the shoulder view looks like a bad version of GRAW. Why even bother of giving players that option? Just leave the classic view and thats it. FU Seth about that comment on players not knowing how much work goes into maps and cost of it. Put out a full game (16-22maps) and don't nickel and dime us with downloadable content .
A few Q's....
1)Is there a cover system ala Gears/Uncharted?
2)What's the health system like? Is there health regen or is it find the health packs?
3)Is the third person perpective over the shoulder like it is in RE4? Or is it more like in Gears/Uncharted?
4)If I like Gears would I like Socom?

1. No
2. No regen, no health packs
3. Two camera's. One over the shoulder, one traditional 3rd person camera with character in the center
4. Maybe

Guy's I wouldn't worry about the lack of recoil. It's pre-alpha. It's not like Slant 6 doesn't notice it. We all did, right? The recoil is so obviously not final/not even implemented yet.
So, give S6 the benefit of the doubt. They've brought us this far, right? Why would they drop the ball with something as appearant as that?

You obviously havent realised that normal map counts for finalized products are at about an average of 10 maps or less.. And its not nickel and diming, its continued support

s3 sniping was RIDICULOUSLY easy. How was that allowed? Who in their right mind said that was a good idea? I can name numerous other flaws in the game that were extremely apparent, yet they made the cut.
I see what you're saying, and I'm probably being overly skeptical, but my trust has been crushed after the s3/ca disaster.

I just watched the 1up Show and I have to say I'm impressed with what I saw of SOCOM. I've never played the game before, but it looks amazing. IMO, it looks like what a third person shooter should look like *cough* MGO *cough*
isamu said:
These games are nothing alike. First of, while SOCOM is a strategic game and slower compared to other respawn-o-rama's out there, it's still a little faster paced than Gears. There's a lot more teamwork involved due to the different modes available. The community features are far and aways superior, and you may really want to try to get into a clan in this one from the unique approach they're taking with weapons and armors available to certain units only.
There is no pansy regen health crap here, one life to live per round fun.
SOCOM is without a doubt to me, and i take shooters very seriously, the definitive console shooter. It's ULTRA competitive, while still being fun. It's the only game I ever played where you really learn people's names, you really feel like you have friend's in this shooter. In fact, the clans in prior SOCOM's actually felt as needed and important as GUILDS in MMO's.
If this game runs and plays like it sounds to and turns out to be everything shooter fans want, THIS will be the game of choice for true MGL-ish competitions.
You really have to play it. It's frustrating at first, has a specific learning curve, but it's so rewarding once you catch a grip on it.
7 maps now? Sweet. Plus another bundled headset too. I'll be DL'n this as soon as it's up, PLUS i'll be buying my boxed copy. Day one, minute one.
This is not your standard SOCOM with it's filler single player game. This is an online only fanservice. If you don't like the amount of maps in it compared to cost, don't buy it.

I know people hated Socom 3 and CA, but I would really love some next-gen Harvester.

Fuck, shit, damn... I missed my chance to apply for the beta. I must've missed it. :*( I wanted to be in it to point out if there's any fixing needed to be done. I have a 4.06 K/D Ratio out of thousands of kills!!! I deserve to be in there to represent [EDS] Elite Delta Snipers which have been going strong since S1...
Shit...
Doel, pull some strings!!! :lol
I won't allow the scope + M16 = no recoil bug to get out of the gates like S3 originally did!

Seth needs to understand, its not so much of the detail and size, its more of the variety. Socom 2 for example, weren't much larger than COD4 maps of today. But they were def more varied. And that kept the game so fresh. From what we know, all 7 maps in this game are based in one location.Madman said:
I mean who knows, hopefully we'll see something similiar to Frostfire or chain reaction. Not everything needs to be outdoors in destroyed enviroments.

Indeed, truer words have never been spoken.J-Rzez said:
So, do you think COD4 has well-designed maps? Because, I certainly don't. On multiple occasions I honestly and mistakingly called the map Shipment "BOX" to LOL responses from my clanmates because they could see exactly why I would make such a mistake. Also, so many of the maps flow the exact same way (speed, tactics) that after all the months I've been playing I still have trouble naming the maps; ANY of them. They are not UNIQUE at all.tuco11 said:
Now, I'm not just "hating" on COD4 as if I suck at the game or something. I'm quite good, actually. I have a 1.44 kill/death ratio (and constantly climbing) and I'm on either my 4th or 5th prestige mode at level fourty-something.
But, look, I feel like nearly every map on COD4 follows the same basic design of:
-place a bunch of players on a giant plate
-divide them with obstructions
-allow players to sprint toward each other through 1 of 3 pathways
-let them kill each other, respawn and do it again
Socom, on the other hand, has shown me the greatest, most detailed and dynamic multiplayer maps I've ever had the pleasure to hunt people down on (WITH stealth......which is all but UNpossible on COD4 :lol).
I think you need to put it all into perspective.
One last thing. Sure Socom 2 came with all those maps but you realize they were able to throw in most of the maps from the first game, right? With them using a new engine and all for the current gen, that doesn't really seem like an option for them this time.
