Socom Interview at Ign.

Article taken from: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/802/802162p2.html

IGN: How has the move from the PlayStation 2 to the PlayStation 3 helped broaden the overall SOCOM experience?

Seth Luisi: The PLAYSTATION 3 allows us to do so much more than what we could do on the PlayStation 2. We have much more detailed environments and characters. We have much, much further draw distances. We have damageable environments. We have rag doll and IK for the animations and a lot more.

The overall SOCOM online experience in SOCOM Confrontation is much more visceral and intense.

...

IGN: Are you striving for more loadout customization than we've seen in past SOCOM titles?

Luisi: Absolutely. Not only will you be able to customize your weapon as in previous SOCOM games but we are also adding character customization options. Clans will also have unique customization options. We'll have a lot more details to share on this in the future.

Edit: more at the site. Can't add the whole article because i get HTML error :S

This game is gonna be awesome.

However, I do hope they upgrade their graphics from the videos...
I also hope you don't need a credit card for ranked/clan functions like you did on Socom3. I guess I'll just have to get a debit card if they do.

The no vehicles is good, but I kind of liked it on some maps from 3 (i can't remember their names, I stopped playing like 3 months after i bought the game).

I like the map with a desert on one half and a town in the other half, the T and SEALS spawned opposite sides of the village, there was a pond in the middle of the town.

Another map was with the walled city in the middle of a desert, one big road running straight through it, walkway around the entire city.

And then the New Orleans map(:| the flooded one)

Vehicles were only fun on those maps...otherwise the maps were too big.

I REALLY hope they bring back maps like Crossroads

Yea i can't remember the maps name aswell, but i think i know which you are talking about.

But i like socom like it was on 1 and 2. Right in your face with alot of Choke points. Strange that on this interview they didn't ask if it was going to have Pay for Clan stuff they had on Socom 3. I sure hope not.

Anyways can't wait for more info at E3 :)

I was waiting for the pay question...I don't think they will, cause if I remember right, it was Zipper Interactive that required the credit card...

Oooh and I also hope that they have Foxtrot...wasn't that a Socom2 map? They should have map packs...but make them free, because then everyone would have them. And I also think it would be nice to have custom game rules, like Halo...(not trying to be Halo though...Socom is in a league of its own:D)

I honestly cant wait, i hope they bring back fish hook, or at least release a map pack called like "classics" where it hasa like the top 5 maps from 1 and 2 remastered.

Warhawk looks too...Halo ish for me...it REALLY reminds me of Coded Arms for PSP :|lawlersauce

Warhawk is like battlefield on uppers (drugs) and a freaking awesome airplane.

anyways socom is going to freaking own :) specially if they go more team based type of game.

I honestly cant wait, i hope they bring back fish hook, or at least release a map pack called like "classics" where it hasa like the top 5 maps from 1 and 2 remastered.
