According to verified ex-Zipper guys on GAF, during development Sony went to Zipper and had them change the game from a traditional third person realistic SOCOM style shooter to basically CoD in third person. Had them change the MP to modes more suited for quick gameplay and less about what always made SOCOM great. Of course, right after it released the whole PSN hack happened IIRC, which certainly didn't help the game.

What's worse is that Japanese guy from the "how to lend games on PS4 ad" has used the poor sales of SOCOM 4 as evidence that people don't care for these types of games any more and the SOCOM crowd has moved on. Well, no, maybe you just made a real shitty CoD clone and slapped the SOCOM name on it :)

Of course, games like R6 Siege, which very much resembles SOCOM MP, and the new Ghost Recon, which very much resembles SOCOM SP, prove him wrong.
