ugh I call BS. Sony are known for giving more freedom to their devs with the games they make

and can someone who played the game tell me what parts they had that were taken from infamous/uc etc?

I think this might be one time where they might not have encouraged freedom. Socom was so .. against everything that the fans wanted, there was a ridiculous outrage against it before release, can't see the devs doing it to themselves.

Indeed, I can't imagine the core of Zipper making the mistakes they made with Socom 4. It seemed like someone up in management, through Sony or Zipper, had a position where they just didn't know what they were doing. Socom 4 was such a drastic turn from the past Socom games. If it didn't have the Socom name, I doubt anyone could find the similarities with past Socom games. I wish Sony would have allowed Zipper to make a cheap digital Socom game. Then they would not have been so pressured to sell so much, they would have had more freedom. But Sony's ambition can get the best of hem sometimes.
