I can understand why MAG looked so horrible, but geez they can't even step it up for their own flagship franchise.

Socom has never been about graphics. It's been about its great tactical gameplay.

The graphics look like ass. So it better be priced at $20.

MAG is a great game overall and as far as Confrontation goes, it had great gameplay as well.

Confrontation had the gameplay department on lock down, it was just everything else that sucked: Laggy menus, numerous bugs and glitches, missing standard shooter features, missing features advertised on the box (lol).

Mag had great gameplay. I think people just mainly bash it because it's not Call of Duty and you can't be a one man wrecking crew.

The graphics are fine and the game looks ok but to name this Socom is the problem it looks horrible for a Socom game. Straight bastardization of the once great Socom 2 sigh...

In this day and age all games look just fine to me. 20 years ago we would've peed on ourselves if we would've known the visual quality of modern games.

Because Sony doesn't care about SOCOM anymore.

It died when PS3 was announced because they shifted their focus to garbage FPS games like Killzone, MAG and Resistance.

RIP SOCOM. Gave me great memoriess during the PS2 era..

How does not amazing graphics = rushed or not polished ? ZIpper said they were already developing SOCOM while they were finishing MAG. It just seems like ZIpper just doesn't have amazing programmers.

gameplay should always come before graphics imo, if you can have nice graphics to then thats a bonus, but if the gameplay is solid then theres no point in bashing the graphics

graphics dont always make the game. They can really help make it more immersive but there are tons of games that have crap graphics and are still enjoyable.

I've never really cared for Socom, but all the guys I know that do never played it for the graphics.

Plus those screens are probably the worst I've seen for the game so far.

Good gameplay doesn't take up all the dev time, Socom will probably turn out to be rushed trash and flop along with GT ad Killzone.

I bet if they added some blur, MLAA, more blur, and made it linear it'd be one of the best lookin games on the PS3.

Sry should clarify. I mean looks like trash as in the game is going to suck. I was not referring to aesthetics.

Edit: So basically bad graphics or not the game is going to suck.

In my life I put many hours in quite a few things that did not pan out. So I don't care about the hours put into the game if it still looks stale. Also I do not see what is wrong with having a negative opinion about a game so don't question my support. The way I support the game industry is by buying games I like, thx for playing.

using still shots is just plain deceptive in practically all cases. the game does not really look that bad, not that im stoked about buying it or anything. this thread is just BS
