Looks very...PS2.
Is this the first SOCOM with vehicles?

yes.
they've always looked a bit gritty, but the game has nice animation and, IMO, a very suitable atmosphere.
I really hope the vehicles work. I'm impatient to get my beta disc.
getthefuckouttahere. I can't wait for next gen versions, but Zipper has made a better online shooter than Bungie...and gets no attention comparatively.

musashi did you get in the beta? i did. we can be online chums once again.
p.s. halo 2 and socom 2 provide the same funfactor, more or less

The scope of the game is impressive for the PS2 with the Battlefield-esque multiplayer that they're surely aiming for, but I really don't know why they aren't fully working head first on Socom for PS3 right now (or maybe they are, who knows.). A Battlefield 2-level next gen Socom would be huge.

Best multiplayer map designers in the biz. With a bullet.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Hopefully they fixed that shitty framerate - especially online.
where are the damn shadows? i know they aint gonna be dynamic shadows and just simple texture maps that are stuck the the vehicles but come on it just looks retarded without shadows.
"Best multiplayer map designers in the biz."
are you kidding me? they do an ok job but man there are some serious texture issues on alot of maps, just simple mistakes that shouldn't go unnoticed like the scale of say bricks on a wall or the uneven mapping of the texture onto the polygon so that the texture looks distorted. the engine (more so the ps2) just doesn't work that well with 16 players fighting anywhere close to one another online like that hostage map that runs like crap. it runs like crap because everything has to be rendered because no matter where you are you can see the everything. that's a freaking rookie mistake in level design because the first thing a map needs to be is playable. they also put so many damn night maps so they could use closer clipping planes because the ps2 can't handle the engine that it just made the game kinda lame because you don't have NV unless your zoomed in (GAH!).
i'm kinda glad they are releasing S3 to compete with the xbox 360 though because it's a very smart business move but i think they are stepping over their limits by adding vehicles to an already below average game engine that doesn't run very well on the ps2.
as long as the game supports 16:9 i'll buy it but i guess i'll just have to wait until aug 9th to find out.

Err I was speaking in terms of gameplay, not visually or even artistically. Zipper's devised some of the very best maps for a team based shooter Ive ever played. The waypoints, chokepoints and overall terrain layout are so consistently well thought out that it puts most other games in the genre to shame IMO.

Could be the best online game this gen.

Indeed. A 2-3 months ago, people were talking about how PS2 could still churn out good graphics, now, they're saying they should stop making games and abandon the current gen. WTF?

It's amusing to be labeled a Sony Fanboy for enjoying the gameplay of Socom. This forum never fails to amaze me. Oh yeah, I guess I am suppose to do an obnoxious laughy face too. :lol

Hahaha, ownage!
Did i stike a nerve?
Don't play coy with me goddamnit, if you want proof read the posts above mine in this thread defending Socom's shitty graphics; then read a thread about how the only thing that matters in next gen is that the PS3 is graphically superior to the 360.
If i were a PS3 i'd be singing:
"Back then they didn't want me.....
Now i'm hot, they all on me....."
See you in the Socom 3 beta test.
Here it goes...... :lol

What don't you get? You walked into a thread, immediately labeled everyone a Sony fanboy, that are graphic whores when it comes to next gen but are defending "shitty" graphics. Furthermore, you supply no evidence that anyone specifically in this thread is even a Sony fanboy, except for the fact that they are showing interest in Socom.

I think you should review your cited thread and look up the term "sarcasm." What will you do next? Bring out the dreaded Chewbacca defense?
