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


Recommended Posts

^ 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.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
