SOCOM 4: It


Recommended Posts

Gotta love a good, worthless CG "trailer" that tells you nothing about the game :rolleyes:

It even failed at impressing with CG! That was just pointless. A bunch of military types shooting some other military types! I feel so informed... not.

Nothing to see but it's just a teaser the game is pre-alpha, wait for GDC or E3.

Meh they won't ever recapture the fun of socom 2. They also should be using same technology/engine/networking MAG uses otherwise just meh.

What you think they built all that complex netcode for MAG and are just going to dump it? laugh.gif

The studio was clearly working on both these titles at the same time to some extent if this is getting released in the same year as MAG.

Indeed, I only forgive these lame CG "teasers" when they are impressive; awesome cinematic and great music - That looked like the exams project for

"Basic CG 101" class.

Well if 32 player limit is anything to go by that's a massive waste of the capabilities of MAGs netcode...

No it's not SOCOM isn't about large scale warfare, you're basically asking for the sequel to MAG...

32 players with better graphics is fine, half the games on consoles don't even reach 32 players.

Will certainly be interesting to see how much they can increase the detail and animations over MAG. Will be looking out for this one.

I'm still debating on BF:2 or MAG at the moment, most of the guys in work have gone BF but I would have liked to stray away from the mainstream choice.

Never played SOCOM game before so I have no idea what the fuss is about :p

Tactical 3rd person shooter, has a rabid fanbase, not much else like it on consoles back in the day - Still not much like it. It's not all that arcadey, usually quite difficult to newcomers. Confrontation was made by Slant6, not the original developers and it took them months to patch it till it was playable.

I'm probably gonna get gutted over this but best I can match it with is a 3rd person tactical version of counterstrike :p

Yeah I stopped playing my PS2 and went onto PC gaming about 8 years ago :p so only used the PS2 for 2 years :D

Now I'm switching back from PC to PS3 as my PC isn't up to scratch and I can't afford to upgrade. I bought my PS3 last year so I should use it :p
