Like a load of others have said, Motion Controls are not something that I enjoy.
I have owned a Wii and sitting or standing in a certain position gets annoying just to play a game.
I owned a NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube and Wii and the only one i got rid of was the Wii.
I was a big Nintendo fan, im gutted i missed out on some games but i just dont enjoy motion gaming, if they can offer me regular gaming i can take part in while reclined on my s...
SCEE are terrible for pushing games over here, I dont know if its a budget or regions issue, but you rarely see TV ads never mind anything else unless its a MASSIVE release.
If SCEE decide its not worth marketing then forget it.
It's the same with the SOCOM series, its big in the USA but over here there is almost no info to do with the release, and the only info we got on a release date was on twitter.
SCEE seem to think they know what everyone likes thus games that do well in american can sometimes just disappear under the radar in the UK/EU.
What are these bugs that infest the beta? I played it for 30+ hours and apart from some lag when spawning and the issues getting into certain game types after the beta patch it has been flawless.
Also reviewing the final game on beta? The people i know with copies of the game say that online is still not turned on.
All these socom videos from gamespot should be in one article, they are just spamming up the news feed. And they are not even news!
Yeah it no doubt has a bigger fanbase but I don't know if they are as passionate as SOCOM fans.
A lot of SOCOM fans this is the only game they play for years on end. Im not sure if RE has that too.
If slant six can have RE working at release like they have SOCOM working now (not at release YIKES) then im sure it will be a pretty good game!
One of the things that fails this entire series is lack of promotion by SCEE, since day 1 socom has had almost 0 advertising in the EU, most people don't even know it exists or think its an FPS.
Do or Die time for Slant Six, if they release this as a buggy mess like confrontation was it could spell the end for them.
It will be interesting to see how they do with this, not sure if this type of game will have such rabid fans as the socom franchise did, surely that didnt help things.
The unity engine is quite impressive but I have yet to play anything that engaging using it. Trying out Quake now though to see how it is!
This looks like an ace deal! I couldn't stop laughing at the art work for the vietnam add on pack though haha
It looks pretty impressive, im hoping that I can get in on the beta for this via PS+, the first game was very enjoyable too.
This is what we can expect from the king of pop now that some company own the rights to his brand. There will be CDs DVDs Games etc etc all with his name over it with only a tiny amount going to his children I am sure.
Not even a MJ fan so im not fussed but there will be slew of money making products, many are out already.
5 kills for an airstrike, or kill the bomb technician.
These also only exist in the respawn games and not the classic modes.
People that don't enjoy classic mode don't get SOCOM, its as simple as that, 1 life, no respawn.
So far there is the ridiculous 3/10 from destructoid which is full of ridiculous crap.
6/10 from Eurogamer and 2.5/5 from Joystiq.
The rest of the reviews of which there are about 10 so far are in the 7.5/8.5 out of 10 range.
I wouldnt say its getting battered. Anyone who has been a SOCOM fan since SOCOM1 knows that the game always polarises reviewers and I never expect any SOCOM game to get over a 7. If its all classic mode and classic socom...
This guy is an idiot.
While none of the games are amazing, to list them as the worst ever is just dumb. Ofcourse he is entitled to his opinion but the article is a shallow as you can get. From what he has said about each game you can tell he has either played a few hours of each one at the MOST or just read the internet to decide what was wrong with them.
It sounds like he didnt make it out of the starter area in any of these games.
The guy is an idiot.
"Look i can't get a lock on my target never mind aim at him" As he sways all over the screen not even attempting to shoot at the guy. And he wants a lock on?
Deary me.
He should have read the buttons before jumping into the online mode of a game. It is common sense.
Journalists that don't care get things like this and we get editions such as the AMAZING "STEELBOOK" and "DLC SHOTGUN".
If all game had awesome collectors editions i would probably save up and not buy many normal editions ever again.
Hate to inform you guys but this is not an FPS, it is a third person shooter, a rarity these days that a game is not an FPS clone. Granted its not as good as the old SOCOMs but it is at least not another FPS.
That map he is playing is literally choc full of cover all over the place, if anything they have too much of it in.
In the other map there are lots of hiding places too and jungle type bushes to sit in if you so please.
He was playing 16v16 which is as big as SOCOM gets, i think it would be hfar too crowded with more than 32 players.
7 is about the average and 7 means good.
Socom has peaked getting an 80/100 ish average on PS2 but generally it is a 7/10 game. It is a niche game with a rabid fan base, you either love it or hate it so polarising reviews are expected. I predicted weeks ago this game would average out a 7 and thats whats happening. I am a fan and will still buy it for sure.
