Are you serios?
Warhawk had server issues in the begining, but it had all the options/game points that was advertized on the the back of the box.
Socom box shows that it supports home, trophies, and community options.
Also you could follow or join a friends game within Warhawk by going to community/friends list and you get the option. Slant 6 couldn't even add that. If there was no in game XMB (texting), Socom would be a massive fail.
Sonarus, when are you joining my clan :)
and Socom deserves a 7. Slant 6 really did horrible on this game, and it shows:
-Game does freeze
-Frame Rate problems
-Some ranked Servers Kick people out
-No Follow player option, No group mode, No community Features
-Bomb glitches where there is a long delayed kaboom.
-Game shipped with 7 maps.....
-Night vision turns off while running or sometimes in a firefight.
-LACK of Weapons ...
This list sucks.
Lets keep to the basics.
1)Cross game voice chat.
And that is it. Add "Home" and we are set.
I am sure Rockstar did this to appease Microsoft for waiting so damn long for DLC.
Great Game, definably worth the points. Smart move Microsoft since everyone already forgot about GTA4.
Your better off saving your money till its fixed.
My judgement is off the current game not the beta. The beta did stink but it was a beta not a final product.
However the final product is missing trophy support, community features, server issues (people can't log on), and glitches galore.
The beta was suppose to be a remedy towards a majority of these issues, yet it wasn't and the game got rushed out the door despite all the feedback on Socom.com comments asking for the game to be delayed.
I believe t...
Not this gen dude. Socom Confrontation is so broke, you couldn't sell it at a yardsale.
That full fledged Socom probally won't come now that Zipper is working on MAG. MAG, which some say is the true Socom 4, is suppose to be online only. MAG doesn't look like the succesor to Socom from the E3 movie. Also after Socom 3, Zipper laid off alot of employee's to restructure and I don't know if they can handle two projects at the same time
Zipper might of had crappy support for thier products after launch, but atleast they got the game to work with the appropiate features ...
My favorite franchise down the drain.
Do not buy this game until they patch this to show the developers to not put a game only half done.
Toast,
The whole community TOLD them to delay the game....
Nope, they don't and release what basically is the beta with 6 more maps.
If you bought this game without the headset, you are the biggest sucker ever. Those who bought the game with the headset got the game for what its worth, 10$.
I am $^%#$^$#^4 pist.
I am one of the biggest die hard socom fans and got everyone on the PS2. I even bought one for the PSP.I entered the Beta, and was not impressed. The gameplay was "THERE" but there was so many glitches, connection problems, patches that made game worse...
That I canceled my pre-order.
Now this unknown developer, Slant 6, finally releases the game with the a majority of the problems the beta has. They implemented 3 new features to the franchise yet took out...
Wait till Killzone 2. The multi-player data could fit one DVD alone.
Razor and Bladestar, you do "realize" your paying ~40$ a year for Cross game chat and in game invites right?
Those are the only things PSN is missing but it has a browser with flash support. So I guess I can watch Net Flix over in the internet too?
(actually people were able to do this a while ago whom installed Linux and drivers)
LOL @ PARTY CHAT!
The Ps3 had that at launch a.k.a Video Chat room. Not able to cross chat however o well.
...companies should really run some Quality Assurance tests on their products before mass production.
I would expect as much since we are paying 60$(GBP~EURO Equivalent) and the this game is single player only.
Where are the Socom reviews? I can't trust my PSN list due to these people being bias towards the game.
I vouch for playstation life style saying they are legit. SeV1512 has alot of connections along with the others.
So they get one story wrong, big deal. Funny how I told people since last year that Jeopardy and wheel of fortune were coming and no one believed me. I also still stand saying that the next Everquest will also be released on the PS3 2009 Q4, with game announced at GDC 09.
Every internet forum had gamer "tags" in signatures showing what games you owned and their avatars.
That is only one example. Gamespy also had this system before the Xbox was created along with server games. I think even Battle.net had gamercards as well with starcraft and diablo.
There you go. I hope your happy as I showed you just 2 examples and I will placate your fanboyism with that Xbox was the first to bring gamer cards to consoles. Like Nintendo was...
Nice change of subject there PAL.
I never said Sony didn't ripoff anything, yet Microsoft is bringing MEDALS to the "new expirience".
So technically, Microsoft ripped off Sony Trophies which were a rip off of Achievements? Like Mii's, they stole the idea and put a coat of polish on it calling it original.
And Microsoft wasn't the first one to introduce a gamer card concept. They were the first ones on console granted but in that case isn't home then n...
Guys,
We spammed the comments on all the articles at Socom.com during the beta saying:
Delay the game.
Honestly, the beta was so horrible that they extended twice and ended about 5 days before the game came out. Someone could write a book on how $%^#$^$# the launch of the game was.
I don't know who to blame either, Slant 6 for thier inability to make a game or Sony for releasing this game unfinished.
Like I said many times, this game ...
