[Official] SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation

^ what about KZ2 :/ or even RFOM2?

Killzone 2 has classes, even a healing class - That's a killer for me.

Resistance 1 was the most boring and bland game I played in a long time, so I won't hold my breath for Resistance 2.

EDIT: Removed for the sake of peace :sleep:

Each to there own I suppose.

My situatioin is that there are enough games coming to the PS3 that I am interested in to make me keep my PS3 (also the fact that it is a BluRay Player too). Also I use it as a Media Centre to stream my music & movies from my Mac & Wireless 1TB HD.

Inregards to Socom, I am still hoping they sort out the problems in time for release as I was enjoying the "Demo" especially when online with friends.

Update is out now :D 226MB of SOCOM fixing goodness :D they say it fixes the loading but there main problem now is...

Some late joiners have really bad framerate (5fps) and crash if they exit the game from the start menu. This happens at approximately 1/50 frequency.

but they know about it and are fixing it :D

Awesome, thanks.

And I have gotten that bug, really annoying, everything stutters like its going out of fashion, and quitting the game froze my PS3.

But as long as there fixing it.

Maybe with this new patch we could get another Neowin game going at some point, I can't wait to be team killed by Scazza again one day. :p

:laugh: Oh dear. Will they ever release a patch that doesn't break something else..

So has anyone here played it? If so does it help at all?

I have, and for the short time I did it certainly seemed to be running better. Joining games is far quicker. I've noticed a bit of lag, but nothing out of the ordinary.

There is a bug (as mentioned a few posts above) that I've experienced but they are fixing that.

  • 2 weeks later...

Tried the demo again with the latest update. The menu has improved a lot, loading screen was still a bit long but not the worst out there. The gameplay though, ****, they keep making it worse every time. The amount of lag spikes and freezing was awful :no:

The score boards are broken too, wtf is up with that? The speed (lack of that is) of the update as well was terrible. I could go on..

Definitely not purchasing the game after what I seen/played tonight. They've had plenty of time to fix this so it's not excusable imo.

Yeah, I played with that random guy above me and game still seems very sluggish. They did fix the Red X issues where you constantly lost control for a few seconds. They also optimized the menu a fair bit which is certainly welcome, although they still have the characters standing in the background and they still take a second or two to load, get rid of them!

Very first server we joined had some serious issues - I saw a guy and placed a few shots in his head with no effect, I emptied almost 3 entire clips into him and still nothing. He saw me and started to empty a few clips into me and still no effect. Tried shooting a few RPG's at his feet and then I heard Andy was lagging, so we found another server.

Second server Andy joined, no problem. My PS3 froze with a black screen but second time worked fine. So we played for an hour or so though constant "Lag spikes" where the character freezes for a split-second happens frequently, then you end up looking somewhere random.

Oh and not to mention the Playstation 3 fans are at full blast constantly, sounds like a helicopter taking off in your room.

Damn this Multiplayer demo(!) has its flaws. Even after what, 3 patches and it's still not up to scratch.

SOCOM Confrontation Public Beta Extended

Early next week, we will be releasing the SOCOM Confrontation Public Beta 1.50 Patch. In order to have ample time to test it, we are extending the Public Beta until midnight PDT Thursday, October 9th. We will have more details on the patch itself soon.

We are using these extra few days to test the patch but we are still on schedule to release in North America on October 14th. We appreciate all of your feedback and hope you have been enjoying the Public Beta.

Regards,

SOCOM Confrontation Online Team

I'm still undecided. I've got a lot of friends that will be buying, but based on the beta I'm not very enthusiastic. Plus the fact that it releases in 10 days doesn't bode well for those that were hoping the final build would be more stable. I'll try it out with the 1.5 patch, but the last few patches didn't do much for the gameplay.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
