PS3 SOCOM "Not Possible On Any Other Console"

. What game do you have at E3 this year?
I'm working with two games at E3 this year: SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation for PLAYSTATION 3, and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike for PSP. For the purpose of answering these questions, I'll focus mostly on our PS3 version of SOCOM.

At the top of the post is an in-game screenshot of our Heavy Commando model. The skin shaders, cloth shaders, normal maps, and highly detailed textures allow us to have extremely realistic characters in the game. Again, this is a work in progress.

4. If you could sit one person in front of your game for an hour, who would it be?
N'Gai Croal. He's been a long time player of the SOCOM franchise and I would really like to discuss what he thinks about this game. It doesn't hurt that he is also one of the best journalists writing about video games and also writes for Newsweek.

5. What game do you most want an hour to sit in front of yourself (besides your own)?
Metal Gear Solid 4. I'm very curious how the game plays compared to the videos that have been shown

PS3 is the only console with a harddrive in every single console, so I guess this is true since this is a downloadable game.

edit: This game looks really hot for a PSN title.

Honestly it looks pretty good. nice M4A1 Carbine.

Can't wait for the Real Socom 4 though.

Got some very nice details in the shoulder pads. Ace:)

Do these devs take marketing classes or what? The first part was basically restating the obvious that the ps3 comes with the hdd. With that in mind, this game can be done on the 360 because of...guess what...it too has a hdd. So f***ing what that it doesnt come in every box. It does come in every "premium" and "elite" box though. These guys are part of sony so (again with the obvious) they will say their sony backed game can't be done on any other platform. Sheesh!skyvader

It's all just PR bs in the end.

and where have i heard that before??

Any screenshots?Judging from the one I saw posted earlier,Rainbow 6 looks better.But,ive only seen one screenshot:D. I doubt if this could only be done on PS3,just like I doubt if Gears of War could only be done on 360.killab2oo5

Rainbow Six better look better. This is only a PSN game. It will probably get a blu-ray collectors edition like warhawk though.

MS would piss off lots of people if they allowed a game to be made on their system that left a group of people out. what if they updated the 360 with a new model, runs games on HD-DVD rather than DVD. then they make great games on it, and leave everyone without one out? would that make people happy? hell no

Like MS would care but here goes anyway.

Imagine some parent buys a 360 core and a game that requires a HDD. You know the rest.

SOCOM 2 ONLINE > BEST GAME EVER

Ill go out and buy a ps3 when socom comes out......

rainbow six looks better?? Rainbow six has awful graphics compared to most 360 games....are you kidding me?? I just got finsished playing the damn game 5 seconds ago, its probably the best online game for 360, but i comes nowhere close to having better graphics than socom....and most 360 games for that matter..

That is why I have a feeling the core will be no more. Ms will prolly say the new price the the 20gb premium will be $299 and the elite will take the $399 honors. So in the end, ALL 360's will have hdd's.

and they just say "screw you" to anyone who bought a core system? i doubt it. course it is MS, they are a group of people who love to screw consumers

And what about the suckers.... *cough* sorry 'early adapters' of the core? I sure as hell wouldn't want to buy a HDD, as that contradicts MS freedom of choice strategy.

Thats like saying Halo 3 is only possible on the 360 because of the DVD drive. Of course you can't throw a PS3 game into a Wii or 360, they allhave completetly different designs.But these marketing teams need to shut up because they aren't fooling anyone. Besides, there are better looking games on the 360 (GRAW 2, GeoW and R6:V) so I don't know why the developers are pushing the "can't be done on ______" angle.PBSnipes

No thats different. You should read the article again, its not that the ps3 has a hard drive that makes it only possible on the ps3, its the way in which it utilises it, because to my knowledge only arcade games and addons get saved to the 360s HDD.

Socom is one of my main game library although I didn't get into this game until last year but once I played one version I had to have all of them including the Bravo versions which now I can say I own now. The next step with me is to find some mature gamers on the net that likes to play usually late at night. I may have to be looking out for the next Socom coming out on the PS3 and PSP.

I think that Sony is now a big partener of Zipper and Slant Six in developing this game.

^^

Zipper ruined socom with socom 3....they shouldnt even call it socom, its like a completely different game..last good socom game was socom 2...and thats the best game ever..

I've always like that series, but its obvious in the article, that 360's with a HD could easily play this game.Heil68

This is true. Unfortunately, MS was smoking something stronger than tobacco when they decided to not standardize the HDD. I mean... for christ's sake, they already had it in the original Xboxes, and devs appreciated it! So in light of this they're going to screw devs over by releasing a core system?!

PS3 is the only console with a harddrive in every single console, so I guess this is true since this is a downloadable game.

asdasd

The thing is there's been a few 360 games that require a HDD, so if a developer wanted to use this process, the option is there for them, although they would be disregarding a portion of Xbox360 owners if they did.

Good news either way :D

_MURS_

Socom 3 is the only Socom game I have....:(

here we go again! untill this game gets released i won't believe all the "it can't be done on any other console" crap... Insomniac said it about RFOM and was proven wronggrayfox_2k

and how were they provin wrong. 360 has yet to produce that kind of all around experience with graphics,physics,ai, and enviroment

The disc drive has multiple read speeds that go along with the type of medium being used. like bd is a 2x and i think dvd may be a 4r8x

battlefield: 2 mondern combat looks better then socom

ZOMG the huge suprise was no mention of teh Cell! What if they use Cell + hard drive!!?! Twice less chance 360 could handle it!JiveT

Btw, what Slant Six meant was that Socom:Confrontation couldn't be done on the 360 because of the lack of standard harddrive.

SOCOM's sucked since the second installment, in my opinion.Verge_6

:lol::lol::lol: X-Bots on overdrive, Socum is a FREE PSN downloadable game, so of course GRAW and R6:V are gonna look better :lol:
