SOCOM 4 release pushed into 2011 photo

No SOCOM 4 for you this year; Zipper Interactive, the game's developer, has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 title has slipped into 2011.

"While we're certainly aware that you've been looking forward to playing SOCOM 4 this year, we don't want to take any shortcuts," it said. "Instead, we want to deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game we possibly can and we're going to use our extra time to do just that."

Based on my hands-on experience with the game earlier this year, it's already looking great, and works surprisingly well with PlayStation Move. Let's hope the extra time allows Zipper to make it even better.

The videos I've seen so far tell me that pushing this back a bit is a really good idea.

@Corduroy - Seriously? all the video's i've seen have people saying how fucking awseome it is?!

@ Chuck Fadanoid - Whut? Contard? What is a "Contard?"

From the video's i've seen and my previous experiences with Socom games I cannot fucking wait for this! i appreciate they're making it even better, but still, i wanna play this SOON!

Cannot wait to get more Socom in my life.

@Chuck Fadanoid This ladies and gentlemen is a troll. In his own trollish language he would be considered a contard but today we will call him a loser.

Very fucking clever Chuck, so you're the new PC elitest fuckwit alter are you? Go on, who are you really? You smell of Dtoider, but you've only just got here, you've gotta be an alter.

Rest assured that while you spend hours tinkering, installing, regediting and upgrading your PC, the rest of us "contard's" will just be throwing the latest games into our consoles and actually PLAYING them.

Also, everyone knows what PC gamers are really like...



Go on, back to your monitor, hunched in the corner...

Could be that they've pulled some of their key people off to give support to fixing MAG... which is a good thing (there seems to be a resurgence in fixing old though not game-breaking issues with the game). This bodes well for SOCOM 4 being a better game in the end.

Hey ZeeJayTard,
See which machine runs Crysis 2 at max settings with smoother framerates. Yeah, your ps3 or 360 will melt trying to catch up with the PC. ... view replies

Re: Beautiful Halo: Reach trailer spotlights campaign
Look at you contards and your console FPS. Real FPS are meant to be played on a PC. Halo is FPS shit for contard kiddies. Crysis 2 will destroy this garbage. ... view replies


Contard contard contard contard contard, someone needs an internet vocabulary lesson methinks....

oh and welcome to Dtoid Mr Contar....Chuck, i'm sure you'll fit in here, or get banned, or leave out of shame, either way, have a great time!

@Elsa, that's a good point, they have a lot of work going on with MAG right now and they're like split teams so I wouldn' be surprised if they have shifted some talent over there. Come to think of it, after seeing how they handled MAG i'm pretty confident Socom is gonna be teh roxorz!

Considering the last SOCOM was a steaming pile, I hope they get it right this time. I've always been interested in the series since I like Counter-Strike inspired games, but it always seems like SOCOM ends up having technical issues that only the series purists can tolerate.

@ amtalx - i've gotta stand up for confrontation here. Sure it launched broken and half finished in the US.

But by the time it was launched in the UK it was a finished, polished, superb hardcore shooter game. (it was many months later)

Such a shame that the US release and all it's problems destroyed the games reputation and dirtied the whole franchise. If you or anyone still has it i'd suggest throwing it back in the PS3 and getting the latest update - it's actually pretty damn good.

Used to play Clan matches on there, and it was pretty frickin awesome if balls-hard.

Don't give Chuck any face time please. He's been brought to Hamza's attention.

@Malik:

Interesting, I didn't know that. Hopefully Zipper will have a better showing.

How didn't I notice this chuck guy till now? He's like 1251 except a PC fanboy so way more annoying. Not to mention unneeded since the actual 1251 is back.

From the SOCOM 4 boards, it does seem like a lot of people almost have more interest in an HD remake of SOCOM 2. I wonder if they're maybe considering bundling them to increase sales of SOCOM 4 (or if the huge interest in the remake has them reconsidering some of the directions SOCOM 4 was headed in)??

Confrontation was a piece of shit, but I'm blaming slant six for that. I'm giving zipper/socom one last chance.
