Sony and Socom

[SS]TuefelHunden · 03-31-2008

So, Sony finally does something smart for their SOCOM fans. Map Pack #3 was released today with Crossroads, Fishhook, Frostfire, and Guidance for both 3, and CA. Believe it or not, but it is actually free. They even dropped their fee for the other two map packs as well.

I know there's a lot of bad blood between how they treated us over the years, but I thought I'd just throw that out there for everyone.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahaha, omfg are we supposed to care?! ITS A FUCKING PS2 GAME!!! That's fantastic that they're not making people pay for those maps AGAIN! Just fantastic...

Hey, they're putting out a patch for Gran Turismo 1 guys, and it's free!

NICE!

They are maybe a little late on this....

[SS]TuefelHunden · 03-31-2008

Yeah, it's basically to tempt players back into the franchise so that they will buy Confrontation.

Where was this, what....2 years ago?

I love how they're still making things for an out dated console for an outdated game when the new game is just right around the corner.

Deadshooter · 03-31-2008

i love how if you have a ps2 you cant get the socom network configuration to work anyway so its bullshit i just wanted to see how they were but nope socom screwed my friends ps2 he had sitting in a box

[SS]Midnight · 04-01-2008

So....what this means is that they realize that they have sucked all the suckers and gullibles dry and they just want to make a half effort to look like they care.

I feel bad for those who have been 'hanging on' just hoping things will work out. It is two years past that point.

It is sounding like Confrontation is gonna be good. That it will have much of the feel of the SOCOM of old...but how will the online support be for this online only title? Sony has nothing on Live...yet. SOCOM is what 'made' the online for the PS2. The lack of online support is what killed it.

When we as a clan moved to the Xbox we wondered how the heck we survived without Live. What are Sony's plans for suporting the online community? Do they have a plan? SOCOM and SOCOM 2 where awesome because it was free to play online. But EVERYONE (the majority) would have payed money to keep the cheaters out and the game supported.

So again....will it get the online support needed to survive?

All great points Midnight. Only time will be able to tell us the answer to that one.

maybe past that point for socom :ca. I have faith in sony and s6 that they are making this one right. I don't mind the date being 5 months away. That just means our boys at S6 have more time to tweak whatever they have too. I was just reading an article this morning that they are stating that Socom Confrontation is PS3 Online Brilliance. I believe it will bring alot more to the online community than any 360 or PS3 game has. PS3 has been outselling the 360 for a while now and once Socom comes out that will be the biggest boost for ps3 sales. So to Datguy please keep up the hard work and thank you for what you are doing for a socom fanatic. I still play the game on a daily basis and the game still has life. I mean at 2 a.m. this morning when I finally decided I HAD to pry my fingers away from the controller for sleep there was still 12k people online. So not that it matters but my heart and opinion is simple.......Sony & PS3 > Microsoft & 360 any day. I love how xbox live is set up but not much longer and psn will be the same way. In game xmb control, and Im sorry to say with the whole Warner Brothers Blue-Ray exclusivity deal and everything thats coming for the ps3, xbox will be on its way to the bottom of the list. O but of course you will still have the kids on xbox live to play with.

Dude, I'm a PS3 owner. But, please don't encourage the PS3 vs 360 discussion. It's all personal preference.

I am happy about what Slant Six is doing. And, I hope that one day the PS3 will offer something similar to Live. It beats the hell out of what I have to go through on my PS3 to hook up with CoD4 buddies to play.

That said, it's just a wait and see until September.

[SS]Rator · 04-01-2008

Red Rocket, wtf dude. Go play Socom all you want but dont come up in here with console war shit and talk out of your ass. Here's your stats right here and in fact i just heard 360 outsold ps3 in japan and you know what that means...
