I remember that SOCOM was pretty hot back in the day until that last one dropped on PS3. It was horrible. Now they are around here praying that MS doesn't buy Activision/Blizzard and steal COD. From my understanding the last SOCOM was not made the the developer who made the previous 2 right? I think if done right it could have been bigger for them or were they too focused on the single player experience to understand what they had?
Well Socom I/II/III/Combined Assault/Socom 4 were developed by Zipper
The good ones developed under David Sears (Socom I/II) who fucked us over with H -Hour and abandoned the project before release (I'm still waiting for my PS4 copy which I highly doubt will ever be released)
Socom III/Combined Assault and Socom 4 were developed under Travis Steiner.(If I'm correct

)
Socom III was the try to change the franchise and going for bigger maps/vehicles looking for Battlefield players.
Socom 4 was complete trash and a cheap third Person COD Clone.
Yeah and let's not forget Socom Confrontation developed by slant six games.
Complete bugfest.
You see all studios that worked on the Socom franchise don't exist anymore.
This happens when clueless Clowns try to change a franchise and instead of improving the strenghts of the franchise(small maps no vehicles) they try gather players from other games like Battlefield and COD and completely fuck up the franchise.
I don't think that Sony is capable to develop a decent mp game anymore.
Does anyone rember Warhawk/Starhawk/MAG?? These days are long gone.
No wonder people don't subsribe to Playstation Plus and the Numbers go down.
You don't need It for free to play games and there Is no good no game from Sonys studios.
