PS3 Fanboy

Really? I dont know how many hours I put into Socom 3 but it was so worth my 50$ and I didnt bother retrying the missions.

Shhh, don't tell the hundreds of thousands of Warhawk owners.

lol Pops. I haven't touched Warhawk for a long while. Loved it at first, but found something better in COD4. Warhawk was just too chaotic at first especially since there wasn't a tutorial on anything. At least I didn't find one. Loved shooting people down in a tank or turret though. Was never good at gunning people down on foot. Is Socom the same deal or like COD? I remember hearing the sales clerk at Fry's talk about how he was so hyped for Socom and getting a PS3 for it while I was picking up COD4. I never played Socom before & might think of getting this off PSN.

@leiwei: If you havent played Socom, prepare to be amazed. Best online multiplayer experience IMO...they sorta ruined it with S3 with all of the vehicles but the maps were huge...Socom Confrontation is going back to the roots and I like that. Definitely a buy for me. Now to figure how to get money...too many games in September.

still not enough to make me buy a ps3 especially when they try to make deathmatch game with third person? COD4 hello? is anybody home? shouldve made it first person this game is going to die real fast...

@ Haiddasalami

I know it'll get a lot of play for the money, but my point is that a multiplayer only game needs to ship with at least a dozen maps. I know there will be dlc, but that's not the point. This game has been in development for a while, and still isn't close to release. If what he said about 7 maps is true, then what a waste.

what a waste? do you know how much work is put forth for just one map? you should really watch the video above....

leiwei,

Socom is a game that takes a lot of strategy, the gameplay is solid, and REALLY addicting...that's exactly why you can still find thousans of players still playing online all the Socom games...

And...goddamn I have always loved the SOCOM soundtracks...they are just amazing

Haiddasalami,

Well, many think that Zipper screwed up Socom 3, but to tell you the truth, I actually believe they just wanted to see in which other ways they could expand the Socom experience and so they tried new stuff, well, at least they now know that that wasn't what the fans wanted, I cannot wait for this version of Socom by Slant Six and well as I cannot wait for Zipper's next Socom...


ps3isdead (your username is actually quite creative and funny...)

dead you say? Socom, from the beginning has been a 3rd person shooter and its still alive for how many years now?....claiming that a game is dead before it is even released it idiotic, but then again, just right after reading your username, I wasn't expecting any less....

Yes but the maps can be sectioned off. So to the developer theres about 3 maps per map if its anything like Socom 3.

@ps3isdead: "shouldve made it first person this game is going to die real fast..."

LOL! You do know people still play Socom 2 and 3 right so I dont think this is going to fail. Just a minor fix till Socom 4 comes out.

Ps3isdead. Another fanboy? I dunno. I admit I was a huge xbox 360 fanboy back then. I came into having the PS2 very late. All my friends had it, my ex had it, but I finally cave into getting one when GT4 came out. I have more games on my Xbox than did the PS2 (though a lot of RPGs on it). I "HAD" more games on my 360 than the PS3. When before the PS3 came out, I scoffed at the system when I saw someone at Target play an early kiosk build of Motorstorm. It was sluggish and generic. I even frequented xboxyde every single day to check out new games/previews for the 360, of course nowadays it's gamersyde.

All that kinda changed when my 360 RROD on me. I've been through a core (2 RROD, 2nd a refurb from MS). The 2nd time it RROD, my current gf's bro bought it off me and he "fixed" it w/ the towel trick but it went RROD again for good. The "3rd" 360 I had was a premium that I picked up at Fry's and it went RROD after 2 months of Mass Effect + Gears. The 4th 360 is a refurb from MS and it says in the back dated 9-12-07 from the Manufacturer's and is still runnin strong. Of course I don't play it much anymore, but I do still play/keep the games I love for it.

Well, my current gf bought me a launch PS3 (20 gigs) as a present (which isn't much compared to a Chanel bag/wallet combo i got her, but still nice of her), and although I admit the games sucked in the first year, the system's been surprising me a lot. It does a lot. And the most worries I ever got from it was several hangs/freezes during web browsing/video playing. I might say I have angst against the 360 now because of the RRODs, but I have to admit the Ps3 does have quite the variety. And I enjoy being able to play some of the Japanese games off the JPN PSN store. But I would say I'm probably "living the PS2 era" and seeing what it was all about off the PS3. You might say "hah, he's playing PS2 games on it" but hey... I can play PS3 games on it too when I want to.

So why do I frequent ps3fanboy more than xbox360fanboy?
Who knows, maybe because i'm a Sony fanboy now or maybe because between the two, I see more neutrality here than I do on the other side. But I do know I really am against MS's business tactics in handling the gaming market w/ their hype marketing. Maybe that's why. Maybe Halo 2 disappointed me enough to stay away from Bungie.

Hmm long spiel wall of text. *puts flame shield on*

Dear Fanboy(kid?),

I know you were probably about 5 years old back in '02 but a game was released by the name of "SOCOM: US Navy SEALs". The franchise has been around for quite some time now and is not going anywhere.. especially with a huge and loyal fan base. Do us all a favor though and do hold your breath until Socom dies, I think I'd like the result.

@leiwei: I`d say its comparable to COD4 in Hardcore mode online. but with more players and some other cool stuff.

Just an FYI to those complaining about this being a 3rd person shooter. Slant Six(the developer of this game, not Zipper) has given u the option of First person or 3rd person. Suprised no one has stated this yet. So there you have it; you, you can play in first person aaaaannnnnd you, yeah you, you can keep your third-person. Everyone's happy.

@Recon

Honestly... you ruined it!! hehehe

I want crossroads....

Socom 3 had 12 to start but after map packs, 23.

7 is still good enough for me.
