The big secret sequel that Sony was working on has been revealed ahead of time, and no it’s not Killzone 3, inFAMOUS 2, or any of the other big games people were expecting. It is, in fact, SOCOM 4, developed by original series creator Zipper Interactive. Yep, that’s the big game, folks!
SOCOM 4 is set in South East Asia, where a revolutionary army attempts to screw up the world’s economy by taking a crucial waterway. It’s up to the five-man Ops Com squad to put an end to these nefarious baddies and save the world.
Your mission is to step into the well-worn boots of the Ops Com, a NATO Operations Commander of an elite, five-man squad. You must venture deep into inhospitable jungles, city streets and crumbling urban ruins to engage an army of rebel fighters and discover their plans. Although you’re vastly outnumbered, you’re armed with the latest weaponry and your men are second to none – but do you possess the stealth, speed and tactical thinking to lead them to victory? Time is not on your side: you have just six days to complete your mission. To emerge victorious, you must lead from the front, maintain control of the situation and fight with sheer intensity.
As well as the single-player campaign, there will be a 32-player online mode as well. GTTV will have an exclusive trailer later, but for now, enjoy the imagery and hype! Or be crushingly disappointed because it wasn’t what you were expecting. Your call!
