Confrontation isn't shutting down, just the PS2 and PSP titles. And it's a fun game that I enjoy multiple times a week. Not a GREAT game, but certainly worth a purchase if you're a SOCOM fan fed up with the current selection of shooters.
Sad day. It obviously had to happen eventually, but I think everybody hoped they would pull their heads out of their collective asses and re-release the games for this generation before shutting the old ones down.
Those games still manage to get around 200 people on simultaneously on the weekends, probably a lot more in the next few months after this announcement. That's easily a few thousand unique players who are all going to have no real viable alternative once this s...
This is AMAZING. I haven't really enjoyed a shooter game in years. Everything has been watered down, and made to appeal to casual players. There's nothing wrong with that, but there still needs to be more hardcore games for those of us who are into that. There are enough of us that it's going to be profitable, as we proved here.
With only a day left it's not looking great. We're gonna need a huge bump from somebody if we want any chance of making it.
Let's make this thing happen. Only 6 days to go, we need all the momentum we can get if we want to ever see this game!
If we had an even remotely acceptable current gen alternative then I would agree with you, but we don't. They've repeatedly butchered the SOCOM franchise after SOCOM 2, completely disregarding the direction the fans wanted, and trying out every gimmick they could cram in. Confrontation was the only time they made any attempt to follow the fan's advice, but they gave the project to a rookie developer who had a lot of their own backwards ideas they wanted to throw in on top.
