Watch A Little SOCOM 4 Co-Op

Damn... for a trailer this seriously lacks some punch. They need to work on their PR. 

" Colour me unimpressed. I hope it's what SOCOM fans are waiting for, but it looks incredibly generic when compared to 90% of what's on offer these days.  I'm not expecting much from this game and from what I've seen so far it could just as well be "SOCOM HD". "

How did there get to be four Socom games?

Those weapon sounds are just horrible. Is everyone using subsonic ammo?

this looks BAD

Let's run around all day and shoot from behind chest high walls!

Wander to another patch of cover, shoot at enemy in distance. Wander to next patch, shoot at enemy in distance. Where's Brink when you need it?

yeah this trailer isn't showing off anything too amazing. This could very well be the environment trailer, gun trailer or any other type of trailer! There is no information whatsoever on the coop aspect of the game

*sigh*
 
A few things.
 
1) A large part of SOCOM's success was the lack of decent online games on the PS2, you can easily argue that SOCOM was the only game series worth playing online on the PS2.
 
2)Zipper has never done a Singleplayer campaign that would have persuaded me to buy a SOCOM game on the PS2 without the online support. Everyones expectations for the SP is wayyy to high.
 
3)SOCOM Confrontation, developed by Canadian dev Slant Six, is essentially SOCOM HD already. If you don't like Confrontation, you don't like classic SOCOM.

Hmm, another modern military shooter.  Well, it looks decent enough even if everyone walks around like they desperately need to take a dump.  At least this one has a variety of sets for the familiar frag-fest.  Medal of Honor was just mountains and more mountains then a shitty village.  That might be what Afghanistan really is but it makes for a boring and repetitive game.   
 
But, still I might play this eventually.  These types of games require no thought so they're easy to jump in and out of.  However, I'm going to need to see what the controls are like.  I was not a fan of the old SOCOM controls and really didn't like SOCOM Confrontation. 

Running, shooting, running, shooting, running, shoo... 
 
I think the Battlefield 3 footage spoiled me, because i think this looks pretty lame.

One word on my mind while watching this: Generic

I'm actually far less excited now, was this trailer supposed to be a joke...?

Is it just me or does the first map look almost exactly like one of the maps from MAG?

What a dull, dull trailer. Here's for hoping they make it seem less generic by the time the final game comes around.

 
 
DOPE
it looks great just needs a little work on the animations but yeah. for those who loved mag, and socom, we cannot wait for this game!

I'm still extremely worried about this game.
And for some reason, the huge packs of dudes running out in the open made me lol.

" SOCOM a third person shooter   

" Kind of a lame trailer. 

Looks like Socom, fine by me seeing as I like Socom.

"

Shit the fuck was that?! Ok put yourself back to the launch of PS3. DO IT! Now imagine THIS trailer came out to promote the new Socom as a launch game for the PS3. Would you even of been excited back then? Would you shit of been excited! Dick the jizz on this bone. What a pile of mediocre horse sandwich....

This looks... generic

This game looks... adequate. It got to the end and I said to myself, "That's it?" If you had told me this was a downloadable shooter like Breach or Blacklight: Tango Down, I would have believed you. I actually double checked to see if it was a PS3 game. I guess the video is exactly what it says it is. A b-roll, not a trailer, a walkthrough, a game play demonstration, a feature run down, just a b-roll.

It probably came from this guy under the generic military 3rd person shooter category:

Oh yeah, they are still making SOCOM games.

I didn't even see one lobbed grenade, one smoke grenade, any oleoresin capsicum, knifing, etc. etc. "

isnt it the game developers job to make the game look appealing the first time we see ANYTHING about itt whats wrong if we speculate the game might be bad if the trailer makes it so...  well i guess they have a good track record i mean look at confrontatio...oh wait... "

always worrying when a game's b-roll isn't just straight ingame footage. its like they know the game wont stand that well on its own so they have to 'cinema' it up in the trailers; and by that i mean, the sprawling camera angles and the lack of hud present when it does go into player view

I know it's not the finished product, but damn that's a lot of clipping, lag, and weird noise effects.    

Out of context this seems a little bland since its 4 minutes of gun reports but Rainbow Six always had enjoyable terrorist hunt modes so hopefully this will be a well done iteration upon that style of gameplay.

Game didn't look too great to begin with but this trailer makes it look even worst! 
 
Trailer Making 101 lessons are in order for Zipper/Sony. 
 
Oh and isn't Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat coming out on the same day? No seriously they need every bit of help they can get to attract attention and the game would have been better off without this trailer. Total disservice to the game.

This looks a lot like MAG.

Yep.  That's a third person cover based shooter... yep.

It looks like they stripped out every bit of stealth and strategy that used to be in SOCOM in favor of just running forward and shooting guys.

I thought MAG already came out.  There better be more to this game.

that's a weird trailer, how am I supposed to tell it's co-op?

Just watched this after the BF3 trailer, and it does not look good. Damn, my standards are forever changed.

Oh convinient chest high walls, my love for thee knows no bounds.

looks pretty bland unfortunately... I am coming from the battlefield trailer though.

BORING!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

co-op looks like it could be fun, but I don't like the way the character animations look. the players glide around a bit too much.

not impressed tbh

Too many games, not enough time. This one, I probably pass on.

yawn

what is this shit ? they just keep running forward and shooting enemies every 10 meters ? 
 
also, is SOCOM a third person shooter or whats the dealio ?

Where's Boomer?

" @crusader8463: Well it IS SOCOM.What were you expecting?SOCOM's Epic Yarn? "
