Idk about everyone else but im fucking psyched about the motion controlled lean. Its gonna be so nice to not have to hit a button to lean and have your fingers all awkward on the controller.

Yeah same here. I just hope its responsive enough, IIRC GRAW tried similar functionality but it was pretty inconsistent.
But these are the kinds of supplemental roles I always figured would be the best way to leverage motion control on PS3. Another semi recent example is spotting the trajectory of your grenade throw in Uncharted, I didn't really bother with it until my second run through the game but its surprisingly intuitive and accurate. In fact Slant Six might want to incorporate that in SOCOM it works so well.

it did work well in uncharted but idk about that with socom. lets hope leaning is awesome with socom
I just bought EGM and read the whole article, and I'm seriously busting through my zipper. It sounds like they're doing a great job retaining it's original 1 & 2 feel, treating that stuff like gospel, and doing some nice innovations to the series. I can't wait to hear how this game is going to sound with all the audio trickery they're throwing in there with 7.1 none the less.
The ability the roll grenades is going to be awesome for the indoors stuff with the low ceilings, such a cool little addition. And finally, they're totally physics based. I'm also glad that they're just putting in a mix of cover that's either solid or actually allows bullet penetration. Because some stuff in life does actually provide cover though other games don't think this is true. But they're Arcade based, not sim, so I guess that's their hook.
And finally, as expected, the Community/Clan options are absolutely second to none. I'm glad S6 put a lot of work behind this as it's a major draw of the series. Why don't some developers realize this? Clans are a HUGE part of community, and doesn't seem like it would be a lot of work. Even a lot of the "Big" shooters out there suffer from this shortcoming with laughable to zero support: Halo 3, CoD4, R6V2. I like the idea of clans here picking a special forces team, getting that team's specific gear, and looking like a team while still allowing some customization. It's going to be interesting to see how it pans out for people with this selection of say either shooting with the SAS, KSK, or SEALs.
While the graphics don't look up to par with other shooters out there in the mag, they did say that they're working on this stuff from here on out, so they will get a lil better. Even still though, the game wasn't about graphics before obviously, it was it's second to none unique gameplay that made it addictive, any fan will tell you this.
I'll be buying both the download and the boxed copy of this game because the series deserves it. I just wish I had a way to get into the Beta, I'd love to express my concerns to them if there's anything that doesn't feel like S1 or S2. I can't wait to form up the old Clan too!
Return of the King indeed.

I made a strange comment yesterday to my friends. "Since you guys are all getting ps3 for mgs4, I think i may just stop playing live and switch to ps3 online mainly due to socom since you guys will be on it with me" I've been kind of sick of live lately, and really socom is going to be a driving force for me to stop playing on live (except for bf:bc possibly saving that) idk.. I just really want socom and all its awesome features.

According to someone on the playstation.com boards, XPlay is advertising that they'll have Confrontation featured on their show next week.
Which can only mean 1 thing. Confrontation videos coming next week?

I was Nominated YAY
After the huge dissapointment that MGO doesn't use PSN I was/am hoping this would be my tactical shooter of choice but the maps have me worried. Only 7 maps? Each map in the previous games was designed for 1 game mode, with only 7 maps that either means that you'll be playing the same mode on just 1 or 2 maps over and over, or that each map isn't designed for a specific game type...which I would assume means the maps aren't as good as the ones in S2. And all maps are set in N. Africa, what about maps in the Snow, Forest, Ruins, on Ships, ect. I'm getting sick of the bombed out village maps.

Nice, as long as they have my HK5K, headshot, headshot, headshot, headshot, you know.
Abigale has posted Phase 2 of the Community Beta Selection process. This time it's your turn to sell yourself! If you weren't nominated in Phase 1 then head on over to Phase 2, give the most honest response you can (the more honest the better! They are looking for a variety of testers) and you could have a chance at getting it.
Good luck!
Good luck!

"The party system lets a group of us just spend our evening playing all sorts of different kinds of games and travel around together. It just means, at a communication level, we can talk to each other separately from the tactical talk of the game going on, and just stay together as a group and understand what we're doing. It's just for the social -- it's fun."
omg wtf they ruined socom lobbyz
