I don't know how many of you old SOCOM players are still playing this game (which looks like it's still terrible, lol) - but there's got to be some so I might as well try this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SOCOM on PS2s, good stuff. Sadly that kind of gaming has died, however there's one sliver of hope left. David Sears, the guy who was behind SOCOM I and II (he also worked on MAG!) is trying to make a new game called H-Hour. Basically, he's trying to bring SOCOM like gameplay under a different name.
He has a kickstarter going with a ton of more information to check out. I know you're probaby thinking it'll just be for PC and never come to consoles. Don't think that. His main goal is for it to be on next gen consoles, he just knows he's gotta start on PC first. Look at the game Takedown, nobody thought that would go anywhere, and now it's being released on Xbox Arcade. It'll just take some time. If the 'PlayStation Warrior' tier gets maxed out, the game is guaranteed for PS4 -- So if you miss some old fashioned third person shooters, donate please!
