It is going to be a flop to me from a lot of what I have been reading lately. I had some false hope yesterday was quickly crushed. Zipper is trying too hard.
Looks fine to me, I also saw a multiplayer interview and it has a new game mode that is sort of like 'Domination' and 'Rush' mixed into one, I'm definitely looking forward to the beta.
I honestly dont understand why Soccom actually has any sort of hype around it. It was the PS2's best shooter, but that says nothing.

Lots of people prefer a more tactical approach to there shooter games then COD's run and gun. Working together with a team is more fun than being Rambo.

If that video is anything to go off of, it didn't look very tactical. :P
Play classic mode in Socom 4 then. It's for fans like you ;) Classic mode :? I dont know man it looks like Zipper dumed down Socom for the MW/Gears crowd :(

Just watch this if what he says doesn't interest you then yeah keep your hype lower.
No lobbies No handguns No Demolition No Extraction No Breach No taunts No d-pad lean So much for everyone saying Zipper will make a proper SOCOM. BZSIN
No lean? I haven't heard that all
No handguns.....I think that's stupid I love using handguns
What's up with shooters and not having server list of games you can choose from?:?

Instead of choosing a primary and a sidearm, you now have 2 primaries, so you can run around with an M60 and a sniper rifle if you want. No pistol-only matches of old. No lean is confirmed by the people who played it at Zipper's community day. And yeah, we get matchmaking now. Gone are the days in SOCOM where you can jump in a room with people you recognise, and talk and play for hours. It was a great way of recruiting clan members and having a good laugh. Basically "Classic" is classic SOCOM in name only. Without all the stuff they've taken out it just isn't SOCOM. It'll be the first of the series I haven't either pre-ordered or imported.
Looks pretty good to me. Though I have never expected this game to score better than 7.5 or 8.0 at best. It just looks like it's going to be an "average" SOCOM game, not one they are anywhere close to pushing the envelope with for this gen. I guess that's the shame of it. First Zipper/Sony pushes off Socom to another developer and they release a game that was totally broken at launch. Then Zipper themselves release MAG which was relatively average, and didn't even bother to have a campaign. This looks like they are going the "average" route yet again, but at least it has a campaign and should at least have more polish than MAG did when it first came out. I'll "probably" get it day 1, but I need to see a little more than they've shown so far.
Aside from being third person...I didn't see anything in that trailer that hasn't been done in, like, every other major shooter of the past few years. If anything, it looks like the series has lost its one and only interesting feature - tactical squad-focused combat.
that trailer didnt look.....good, but theres still alot of dev time left...i think

No there isn't. The game is supposed to be RELEASED in April. They probably only have weeks left to put the finishing touches on if they plan on hitting that deadline.
I think it looks fun. Not sure why there's some negativity about this trailer. If anything, that voice acting is hilariously bad. Did they say there's going to be female models for this game?
I will probably get this day one. I'm such a huge SOCOM fanboy, I just can't seem to make myself think or believe this will be bad even though I haven't really liked any on consolessince S2. I still play Confrontation quite a bit and it has grown on me.

Socom 2 is the best online shooter ever created. That being said it was all downhill from there and Confrontation (the game i bought a ps3 for) was an absolute FAIL. I've officially lost all hope and think Socom should be retired so it's name doesn't continue to be slandered.
Dude, it looks fine. Its no more or less exiting than any other online multiplayer I've seen, and I quite like to tactical approach Zipper goes with for their online games.
That's one game down. PS3 fanboys were listing this as their "omg PS3 kills 360 in 2011" exclusive lineup. Now there's just 10 or so more mediocre titles and 6 or so more delays and that's the entire list gone, as I predicted.

Really, WTF is wrong with Zipper and all these other devs that decide to suck the souls of their games all in the name of keeping things simple enough to keep the COD fanbase entertained?

Those things are part of classic mode. Along with everyone's names appearing above their heads in the last 2 minutes of a round, basically giving everyone's position away, which means no more clutching.
