I thought Zipper was doing the new SOCOM?

Oh god. I was worried for a second, I thought you were going to say Zipper was the developer that had layoffs.

Still sucks for Slant Six though...

Yes Zipper is good. Slant Six Games made the SOCOM Confrontation game for the PS3 and 2 PSP games, their next project is unknown (if they make another project)

Thats what i thought as well,  and yes it does still suck.  Especially if the rumors of them working on a new battlefront game is true

Slant Six aren't the ones who made SOCOM.
Zipper is, and lots of People hate Slant Six so ....

There was a rumor they were doing the a new Battlefront game

Socom: Confrontation was a glitchy piece of shit.

I'm not surprised at this news.

Just to be clear

Zipper Interactive are the ones who created the SOCOM franchise and made most of it games and they are fully owned by Sony

Slant Six Games is a third party game developer who made SOCOM: Confrontation, SOCOM: Tactical Strike and SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 for Sony
