Numerous places. Remember this is when Take-Two was bleeding money and was on the verge of being sold to save themselves. It had nothing to do with the current recession.
It was a loan to help front the cost of GTA4, so it didn't look as bad on their financial reports. Then when the game sold they gave them the $50M back. The load landed them the 'exclusive' content.
Their next game will be SOCOM 4, they've already been working on it for awhile now. Sadly a MAG delay is gonna push that announcemnt further back, the earliest S4 could come is Fall 2010 but with MAG possibly being delayed that might change.
Yet we still get no support or information about whats going on with patches and DLC. Just think, this SOCOM isn't even near what the online numbers were for SOCOM 2. Peak hours for Confrontation are 12k when peak hours for SOCOM 2 was 25-30k.
This trophy has to be worth more than a bronze.
Kinda figured this would happen after they announced the DLC bundle. They usually don't do DLC bundles for games until they're done with the DLC.
They could still make November since Take Two's fiscal year ends in October, but I doubt it. I think it would have to hurt Take Two's financial outlook not having one AAA game to release this holiday season though.
I thought they tried to reboot the franchise a game or two ago? And they're doing it again already? Doesn't sound like good news if you ask me.
I just want a European expansion to BF 1943.
SOCOM is not a mistake and I know that for a fact.
It will blow your mind then when it comes out next holiday season.
Yeah they turned it into a snow map, but they left NS a desert map.
It averages 12-14K a night on the weekends. Which is horrible compared to the amount of copies they sold for an online only game.
@6.1 You'll get 2 of those 4 maps. Blizzard, Vigilance (Snow Map), Night Stalker (Desert) and two new snow maps.
@1.2 What SOCOM are you playing? Go into a medley and bring up Slant Six being horrible and you'll probably have 5-6 people agree with you saying this game is garbage but they're SOCOM fans and don't play anything else.
Like Sony would admit to it being the real deal.
That's why you release a slim model. Cut down on parts and cut cost in production.
Didn't they already say it was releasing the same day on both systems?
It's exclusive because Sony let them out of the GTA exclusivity contract with GTA4. Sony could of forced them to stick to the contract but they didn't.
Zipper is already a few years into development on SOCOM 4. It was suppose to be Fall 2010 but with the rumor that MAG has been delayed to early 2010 then it might not make it out by then.
