(I'm not that interested in it, but for those who are) The Wall Street Journal via VG247 report that SOCOM 4 will be out in April.

Presumably late April, since Motorstorm: Apocalypse is due out on the 12th the same month in North America.

In System Wars, any high(er) profile exclusive release is great bait for a classic console argument. Welcome to GameSpot! Oh, and my opinion, this is terrible. They should do it a month where they already aren't releasing another high(er) profile exclusive. But at least gamers can play it earlier.

I agree definitely, I'm still not going to give up my hopes on this one though. I love the first 3 Socom games.

Yeah, but that wasn't made by the Socom 1-3 team, so I wasn't really expecting greatness from that. Socom 4 has the original developers of socom.

Ok how does that make it less of a SOCOM game :? From the looks of 4 they're borrowing a lot of stuff from confrontations, and adding in gimmicky move support.

Last GOOD socom was 3 on the ps2.Sp4rtan_3

I thought SOCOM 3 was poor. The maps were too big, the vehicles were horrendous, and the hit detection was way off. I know Confrontation isn't overly great but I thought it was better than 3 because it didn't have those problems. Sure, it had its own set of problems at launch but it was distinctly SOCOM in its design. Zipper tried to do too much with 3, which is why a great deal of the community went back to 2. The first one is still my overall favourite.

3 wasn't as good as 2, but the huge battles i'd have on the maps were way worth it. Even tho the vehicle handling was poor and hit detections wasnt nearly as good as 2.

lol Confrontation is okay, I'm not going to say it's not a Socom game, but dude just how horrible it was at launch and the fact they still haven't fixed all the issues that the game has had for the past 2 years. At least you could somewhat trust the original developers.

I don't see anything from Confrontation in Socom 4(It's been awhile since I've seen gameplay) and what's wrong with optional motion controls?

A lot of fans of Socom 1 and 2 are really being vocal at Zipper Interactive, so I'm hoping this is a good game.

The main problem I had with the map size was when both teams were down to one or 2 players, it was frustrating trying to find people. It was annoying when you were alive, and even worse when you were dead and had to watch. I haven't seen anything on SOCOM 4 since last year sometime, and it looked part SOCOM, part cover shooter, which was dissapointing. I think it was from the single player though, so there's still hope. Plus I still haven't forgiven Zipper for ruining my favourite map from the series :P

You can't judge a series by one game, especialy one not made by its original developer. Nobody judges Zelda games because of the horrific CD-i games for example...

Yeah, I'm curious if cover will be in MP. A lot of people are asking to not implement in and keep the lean. I'm not to sure how much does Zipper listen to their fans, but if you go to their forums, that's all people talk about and regeneration health.

I'll remain optimistic but try not to get my hopes up too much. A cover system in MP would be bad enough but regenerating health aswell would be terrible.

Cracks me up, when Socom 2 came out, everyone said it sucked and 1 was better, Socom 3 comes out everyone said it sucks and 2 was better, when Socom 4 comes out everyone will say the say that confrontation was better lol. I've loved every Socom I'ved played, I just don't hold on to nostalgic feelings like Hard core Socom fans do, but I promise you this, Confrontation will be the last actuall feeling Socom game. I'm very skeptical about the route Zipper is taking with this one. Also I've been playing Confrontation now for about 2 years with some pauses cause of new game releases but I always go right back to it.

I wasn't big on forums back around Socom 1 or 2, so I wouldn't know, but I like every Socom except Confrontation, which was mainly because of it's poor launch which really had so many issues I couldn't enjoy the game and I can't really get into it now, because I have so many other games.

I hope they keep the cover system in multiplayer. It worked damn good in Uncharted 2, don't see why it wouldn't work here.

Yea, the main issue was infact of the game being launched without content that was posted on the game case lol. But over time they did get it together. I think the worst thing about the game now is that they didn't make medleys of the cold front pak and confrontation maps. But you can play quick matches that will mix the maps. Really gameplay wise its awesome, but implentation of features is the biggest thing wrong with the game.

UC2 is a pop and shoot pretty fast paced TPS, SOCOM is a slower paced tactical shooter that rewards teamwork. a cover system would encourage pop and gun style gameplay which really isin't SOCOM. SOCOM really shines when you have a good team that make plans and execute them with good communication. Its not a Gears or UC2 clone in military clothing its a Tactical shooter that has its own goals and audience. addiing a cover system would drastically change the pacing and allow for run and gunners to overpower the tactics and essentially make it: Gears of war: US marines.

I doubt it would turn into that. The people typically playing Socom online are already Socom fans. They know what it takes to win matches and succeed. Runnin and gunning will get you killed. The cover system would work alot better than the lean system in my opinion. We'll see what happens, regardless of what they do, I'll be getting the game day one.

Introduction of vehicles is what made SOCOM 3 the best SOCOM game yet and that's what Zipper should build on. Oh, and huge maps like SOCOM 3 - really enjoyable!

I have a feeling that Socom 4 is going to be really good, but largely ignored by the mostly casual FPS shooter crowd. Maybe (I hope) I am wrong.
