Zipper Working On An Unnanounced PS3 Game

MAG is currently in the final stages of production, with Zipper stress testing the online servers and ironing out some final bugs. The game is due in just a bit more than 2 months on January 26, exclusively on the PS3. It doesn't look like Zipper will be taking any time off, though - the Seattle-based developer is working on another, unannounced PS3 title.

According to the LinkedIn profiles of several Zipper employees, the dev has been working on a second PS3 game for quite some time. Graham Kay, a former Design Manager of Zipper Interactive, lists that he worked on 'Massive Action Game (PS3) & Unannounced project (PS3)'. More recently, a senior software engineer for the company, wrote that he's currently "developing gameplay for two PS3 games". Specifically, he works "on the core character team at Zipper developing gameplay to be used in both games currently under development for the PS3".

Earlier this summer, we spotted SOCOM 4 listed on PCB Production's credits page and theorized that Zipper could be working on the title. It's increasingly looking more and more like this is the case.

Socom 4 with Uncharted 2 engine please!! (remember, both Zipper and Insomniac shared engines with Naughty Dog last gen, no reason they cant do it this gen)

New Socom = Console War over ;)

A Sony-owned developer who is wrapping up development on their current project is starting work on another PS3-exclusive game? Twist!

Socom 4 please..... lightweight baby!!

Wow. Exclusives keep droppin' from SONY

Ban Slant Six from ever touching another console SOCOM project and let Zipper handle SOCOM 4 with the return of big maps.

god please let it be SOCOM 4. socom should be sony's "main" franchise like how halo is with M$. instead of wasting all the money on killzone 3, they could of put it on a real socom game made by zipper

Sony Devs are on a role. :)

If Zipper isn't making SOCOM I don't care.

PS3 needs a good shooter, because it has none at the moment.

Please be SOCOM 4 featuring Naughty Dog Engine 2

An actual Socom game would be nice.

Killzone was garbage and got its score by hype like every other shooter this gen.

The only good multiplayer shooter this gen is Team Fortress 2. Only reason I play Halo 3 is because my friends play it and I only play Modern Warfare 2 just to get emblems and callsigns.

This gen sucks in terms of multiplayer gaming. I have to go to my friends house to play either Counter Strike or TF2. If not, I have my PS2 hooked up to play SOCOM 2 or I play some Halo 2 on my Xbox.

socom 4 should have a mixed feeling of socom 1-2 and also have a few big maps with vehicles because i know some are socom 3 fans too.

No, just no.

If you want vehicles play Battlefield. SOCOM was screwed up because they brought in vehicles to SOCOM 3, it just doesn't work. They tried to fix their mistake with Combined Assault, but the damage was done.

I hope their final efforts in completing MAG will be good one. They need to make MAG a critical success to quite people up, and before that they need to have improved the game tremendously since the beta.

SOCOM 4.

It's a coming!

Also if MAG does so many players, I expect SOCOM to do a little less to accomodate the graphics a little more.:D

I think it's quite safe to say that all of Sony's developers are always working on the next big unannounced games that we don't even know of yet.Nerd_Man

I think it's safe to say that all of sony/microsoft/nintendo's big developers are currently working on new exclusives, it's just that Sony's announce theirs way more than the others.
