Check out this podcast you guys about SOCOM by Greg Miller and tell me what you guys think.
I think that they should make SOCOM for every console not just Playstation since it's clear that Zipper completely fucked SOCOM up with SOCOM 4....

Zipper definitely fucked up SOCOM in a major way. They had good intent and it started out ok but nose dived shortly after. This really upsets me because SOCOM is probably my favorite game series out there. I hope they give it redemption and have a comeback. I agree with making it console wide instead of solely playstation. Good way to broaden their fan base.

@ Gemini328 - I honestly only bought the PS3 for SOCOM: Confrontation because I was so in love with all past SOCOM games. When SOCOM 4 came out Bro, I seriously was pissed off beyond belief ... it was the worst fucking game ever! The hit detection was a spitting image of COD's, you could kill someone and not even hit them anywhere. SOCOM in the past was a game that required accuracy, in SOCOM: Confrontation it veered off a bit and they made it a lot easier for just anyone to pick up the game and play it but it was still tolerable ... but SOCOM 4 man, oh they really fucked that game up!

I agree 100%. It was COD meets Drakes Fortune. I only got the ps3 for socom confrontation as well. I feel like they were heading in the right direction with it, but could of done better. Socom 4 is the ugly red headed step child of the socom franchise.
I seriously hope they take the wishes of the fans into consideration and re-vamp socom 2 for the new consoles. by far the best socom in my opinion. I saw they were doing a poll to see if enough people would support a socom 2 hd. hadn't heard anything about it since.

What do you think about the H-Hour concept? I think it has some major potential and can do the franchise some justice as long as they don't totally try to over do it
