This kind of reminds me back in the day playing GRAW. My favorite times with that series was playing Co-op with my friends and just enjoying trying to takedown the A.I.  I like the idea of being able to build a custom campaign using different maps and settings.

I mean graphically yes they look amazing but nothing really appealed to me or even made me go hell yeah im putting money down for that..Maybe its after playing all these modern day shooters that its almost like the WW2 phase of 5 years ago where all the games are mixing together and its really starting to bore me and feel incredibly bland

Kind of a lame trailer. Moments of shooting separated by really awkward silent scenes of guys running.

Battlefield trailer blew my socks off, comparing that to this is laughable.

There is something odd about the gun sounds.  Those assault rilfes sound like heavy machine guns.

Teaser comes out, everyone complains for lack of gameplay.
Gameplay footage comes out, everyone complains there is too much gameplay. The internet is never satisfied.

To be fair, SOCOM has always been a "modern day" type of shooter.

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".

It would make me more interested. I'm just tired of so many generic shooters. Yes they all do one or two unique things, but it's so much of the same gameplay over and over. It's just tiring to see another game doing more of the same.

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.

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 take it the fact that this is a 3rd person shooter with what seems to be decent cover mechanics means nothing? Yeah, those are so bland, overused and mundane nowadays. I'd hate to have to play another decent third person shooter.
 
I guess it's also unfair to point out that, unlike all of CoD's released footage which basically just showed montages of cutscenes and set pieces, this video is absolutely nothing but gameplay. 
 
We should also, I guess, ignore the fact that this is co-op mode, not single or multiplayer, and that they might have just cut it this way to avoid spoiling anything besides gameplay. 
 
You guys can write it off if you want, but this is very little of anything meaningful besides showing shooting guys and ducking behind cover. 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...

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.

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.

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

Yeah, Zipper totally made Confrontation and not MAG. MAG was an excellent game that had hopes for the playerbase that were just too high (i.e. them wanting to actually complete objectives). 
 
EDIT: and it's not a trailer, it's a b roll of gameplay footage.

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:
