Zipper returns to SOCOM! This is great news.

Is this the GTTV thing? I thought this was something separate?

This is awesome. Everyone saying this boring, 90% of you probably haven't tried it. It's always the same base of people who play, and we love it. You should all give it a try. ;)

It was the best PS2 online experience bar none. My favorite online game.

I thought SOCOM was made by someone else

so after about 5 minutes I was surprised no-one said

"ZOMG HOW DARE SONY GIVE SOCOM TO ZIPPER!"

But ofcourse Zipper made SOCOM!

The info they have on IGN has me drooling.

"And unlike previous SOCOM games, the single-player mission is designed to be a seamless in-the-field experience"

"To help build a believable story, Zipper put the SOCOM 4 actors on a sound stage together and captured their movements and dialogue digitally as they performed each scene"

" you won't see sharp cuts to flashy pre-rendered cutscenes; story moments will blend in and out of gameplay"

"The team says they've focused intensely on artificial intelligence this time around. Don't expect dumb enemies to present their heads to you for easy popping. They're programmed to use suppressing fire, flanking and bounding maneuvers, and cover. Enemy commanders will even call in airstrikes on you (if you leave them alive long enough)."

"The environments in SOCOM 4 are destructible, and building materials flew in all directions as a series of explosions ripped into the landscape"

Fuck the Co-Op comment, i'm already sold. Co-Op would just be the Cheery on the sundae.

I'm glad to see someone else is happy with the announcement 

Now we know why they didn't wait for E3 to announce this. They're aiming for Fall 2010!!!! FUCK YEA!!!

no infamous 2 =[

I'll add this info to the OP

Sounds very very good
