So, what's the difference between this and the other hundred shooters out there?

Simple, it plays nothing like them.

That's pretty specific, thanks for the info.



Above: still the best game of the year.

I don't know why people are still even calling this game socom us navy seals. I really don't fucking understand.


Same here dude. Its more like UN/NATO than USA. 

You do play a NATO team in single-player.

Wow that's f**ked up. I kinda want to play as the most elite soldiers in the United States and bust terrorists, drug lords, etc. Not play as some NATO force with South Koreas (including a chick, not trying to be sexist but there would never be a chick in the US NAVY Seals) and deal with whatever stupid issue they came up with.

I can't believe Zipper is making such stupid moves (in my opinion). I expect this from Slant Six but not Zipper.

Shit don't even blame slant six anymore. with more of a budget and not a rushed release confrontation could have actually been great. It's still going to be better than socom 4 though.

It's a tactical, squad-based shooter. It requires you to lead teams in different directions and depends on a specific play style. If you really need to know, it takes two seconds to YouTube it and watch footage.

It's not anyone's job to spoon feed something simple to you.


I think you're confusing this with SOCOM's 1-3 :) --> Those games were acutally about stealth, tactics and controlling a team. This game looks like an average shooter that's made to be accessible to everyone which is proven by the inclusion of move controls. Its time for people to admit SOCOM sucks now and has gone casual, which is sad because SOCOM 2 was about as hardcore as a game got and I loved it. 



I got this pre-ordered too, can't wait!



 

Hardcore isn't ALWAYS better ya know

Soo...no health regen and respawns are now considered casual?

Right. That would make Killzone 3 a childs toy.

Watch the video I posted, nothing but stealth gameplay. Besides, how can you say a game sucks without playing it?

Because it's Chairman....

Socom is still Socom, but we learned something, having Move controls means casual... guess that Guerilla made KZ3 casual with their Move controls.... No seriously what kind of reasoning is that. Socom will still be Socom because Zipper is still Zipper, but you will never know that Socom hasn't changed that much, because I guess you're not going to buy it, and you were not planning on buying it no matter what.

OT: Arrhhh Socom, so many good memories, Fucken Day 1 purchase.

Its too hard to watch off screen footage, and yeah I'm just judging from the videos I've seen of on screen gameplay. Doesn't impress me at all. For one it's NATO not Navy SEALS, secondly its mostly lame urban environments and not cool areas like mountains, forests, etc. like in previous games. And I've yet to see any stealth (although I'll try and watch the whole video you posted)

Heh actually, now that Rico can heal you, the game indeed lost some of its difficulty it used to have in KZ2, but yea, if no respawn and no health regen means casual then what COD games mean? Rail shooter on god mode?

WTF? Dude you're serious?

And don't judge what's in a game when you only saw a 5min video, because they for sure will not show you all you will have in the game, for obvious reasons.
