Yes, W1NGMAN- is unhyping Socom Confrontation. This user once believed the game would be able to achieve a rating of 7.5-8.0...now I see nothing above 6.5....

Why you ask? Because it looks like utter crap, that's why. The animations are weak, the character models are weak, the enviorment looks like an embarrassment, the shooting mechanics look clunky....

NOTHING stands out about this game.

*Note this really isn't a serious "official unhyping" thread, just taking a different approach to share my dislike of what I've seen so far in Socom Confrontation.

It's that bad? Why even release a SOCOM game if it's not competitive in the genre?

The screen shots DO look pretty bad, which is a shame because I originally thought it looked pretty fun. I never had a PS2 until recently so I never played the prior SOCOM games. Maybe this one will pull through.

All I kept thinking was, it'll get better, it'll get better....but nothing seems to change...I'M PRAYING that these are just some super early builds of the game that they're showing off and if not...it's too little too late now.

I wasn't initialy impressed with socom but I just downloaded the trailer in hd on my ps3. I think it looks better then I thought it was gonna be. The trail was a little bit blurry and the textures didn't look that great but it was a trailer not a finished product. The way I see it is the game will probobly be more polished. I'm gonna wait for reviews before I comit to buying it. But the trailer defenetly caught my attention.

They didn't say it would be available the day we downloaded that episode of Qore , just that we would get a chance to play it pre-release.

September 8th for those that purchased the June issue of Qore.

EDIT: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/02/socom-beta-confronted-by-delay/

Seems the beta has been delayed. Sept 12th for Qore users. I bought that issue of Qore just for the beta :(

Socom is the best online TPS period. You people haven't even played the game/ played the pervious. Just go sit in a corner and cry about it. LMAO The Soocm series has made millions because it's one of the best online shooter !!

The thing is it's not really a brand new game, it's a remake of the multiplayer portion of a previous SOCOM. And WHY they would spend that much time re-creating that when they could've just remade all the assets and combat system from complete scratch and produced a much better game is beyond my comprehension.

I dont know what it is that people dont understand about Socom. Its all about the gameplay. The first 2 didnt even look that good for PS2. Yet it was pretty much the best online shooter ever. And for Zipper to listen to the fans and bring that feel back (says everyone whos played the beta). It looks to be the biggest online game this generation.

Hype restored.

Thank You !! Socom is my fav shooter of all time. I hate to see silly fanboys bash it. Also Zipper is making M.A.G and anyone who has played evry Socom knows thats a good thing becuase Zipper messed up wiith Socom 3/CA. I could care less about reviews for this game it can get a 5.0 for all I care. I meqan Socom 3 scores higher then Socom 1 & 2 lmao reviews/GRAPHICS dont mean crap when it comes down to Socom.

Uhh no.

Having more players than halo 3? i think that means yes.

And your sig.... you know MGS4 looks better than gears right? Cause if not your mistaken.

Socom is the end all TPS. End of story. O and, btw, there is an over the shoulder view..... but have fun gettin rocked by players that can see 90% more than you can.

Youve made it pretty clear your an xbox man with an undying passion for Gears.... Gears is awesome, but its online can suck it when socom comes out.

EDIT: They are heavily influencing pretty much every aspect of it. And most of the people with socom 2 are on this team. They asked their fans what they wanted... and everyone whos played it says they have delivered

huh:question: The only system i own is a PS3 with 10 games. I hail MGS4 as GOTY and console graphics king, and you call me a 360/gears fanboy? I like gears solely for single player mode. My sig proves how much of an ignorant fool lemmings are. Thats why i put it in my sig to show everyone. Next time you post a comment like that, think. Don't get worked up just because i dont like Socom. Sheez when is this ever going to end?

Is that what it looks like when playing console FPS's, If somone did that while playing online pc game they would be destroyed. The player looks like he is on a rail and moves around so slow and unnatrual. Maybe that guy is just terrible.

Say what you want but i have played every socom game and not one has been bad. Socom was never a game you look at and go "WOW" the gameplay and the online is the most fun. unhype all you want, but im still getting it.
