Wow, it's going to be by Zipper this time? This may be the first PS3xclusive that my brother gets excited about.

AT first I was let down until I saw Zipper would be back as the developer. I loved the old socom games but thought confrontation was horrible

best surprise announcement in a long time
order can finally be restored to the Socom series

They made MAG too, was he not excited for that?

Sounds promising to me.

Yes... Made by Zipper and not Slant6, hope and pray for story mode co-op, 2-4 it dont reall matter as long as i can play story with my buds.

Great news, I'm loving MAG and new real SOCOM game will be much apriciated.

Sounds good so far and happy to hear Zipper's making the game. I'm gonna keep track of this one. The minute they announce a Co-Op story mode- i'm sold.

Well hell, I'm pretty excited.

It's not a huge announcement, but I'll definitely take it.

I actually reccomended he not get MAG after I played it.  But he wasn't excited about it anyway.  He prefers military shooting games, and also generally goes for games he's played versions of in the past (so he's always really excited about the latest Call of Duty).  He also only likes multiplayer when he's playing with people he actually knows.

Anyway, I don't share his taste in games at all, but the fact is, he loved the shit out of SOCOM and heard really bad things about Conviction, so he might get really excited about this.
