SOCOM was a great game. It set PS2 online, on fire. Well, for a bit anyway. SOCOM I and SOCOM II were great but subsequent sequels for me, failed to keep the simplicity of the first two.
It's good to hear that a PS3 version of the series is in the works, SOCOM: Confrontation had it's first screens and footage released today from the Sony Gamers Day in the States. It's set to be online only, which probably won't be a bad thing. In an interview on Gamespot it was made clear that at this years E3 there will be big announcements about the game. But some beans were spilled: Expansion packs will be available on the PSN and will include maps, characters, weapons, bonus content and will often be 'themed'. This immediately makes me think of Battlefield 2 and it's themed add on packs like Special Forces and Euro Force. A release date of Christmas 2007 is also hinted at, though no date has been set.
It's looking very good and they've obviously decided to take SOCOM back to its roots, it looks alot like SOCOM II gameplay...
