Gamestop says SOCOM: Confrontation delayed to Oct 14

by Ross Miller { Jun 30th 2008 at 5:30PM }

Update: New release date confirmed.

Last we heard in March, SOCOM: Confrontation was coming September 16 to PS3. If Gamestop is to be believed, that release date has been pushed back a month to October 14. We wouldn't be surprised if it was true, as our hands-on time with the game recently showed there was still a lot of work to be done. We've put in a call to developer Slant Six for an official response.

SO-close, yet SO-very-far-away.

Mr.ESC @ Jun 30th 2008 5:41PM

Socom:c is like MGO right?

I'll wait for Socom IV :)

Noshino @ Jun 30th 2008 5:53PM

uh, actually, Confrontation is like...uh...none of the others?...

they stuck to the mechanics of the first 2 games, and added certain other things to enhance it, like the fact that you use the siaxis to lean which pretty much allows the player to cover behind almost anything..

Then there is also some maps from previous games and newer ones, day and nigh, etc

If you are a fan of SOCOM, you owe it to yourself to play this game!

So Noshino, you liked it when you played it?

Noshino @ Jun 30th 2008 6:03PM

Nope, I have been keeping up with the news about it...

Blah, damn reply system...

That's good to hear...

Mr.ESC @ Jun 30th 2008 6:43PM

No, what I meant is that Socom:C is online like MGO right? I didn't mean to say they are similar.

I really can't play online lately that's why I want Socom IV. Pure single player campaign goodness.

You guys know the hi res/lo res buttons on the gallery software don't actually use two different size images, right? All the lo-res one does is squish the hi-res image, still have to wait for it to download all the hi-res data. (doesn't matter to me, but I'm sure it does to some people)

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Jun 30th 2008 5:54PM

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that no one cares about that at all.

Boy With Balls on Chin @ Jun 30th 2008 5:43PM

Delaystation!

Noshino @ Jun 30th 2008 5:54PM

your username suits you well

Boy With Balls on Chin @ Jun 30th 2008 5:57PM

Ha! Come on Noshino, its ViagraFiend.

You know its funny.

Dustin @ Jun 30th 2008 5:48PM

Hopefully the official PS3 headset isn't delayed with it. I just want the headset standalone. I'm not into SOCOM, even though I'm Mr. Sony

Chigurh @ Jun 30th 2008 5:52PM

Gamestop is stupid. They aren't even smart enough to break street dates like cool retailers, let alone know when SOCOM is coming out. Needs more maps though. How hard would it be to slap some HDR lighting and bump map the maps from 1 & 2? I don't think it would take more than a week or so.

Zipper......where are you?

Noshino @ Jun 30th 2008 6:00PM

based on what has been shown, they really put a lot of thought on all the maps..

All the maps are really detailed, and if Im not wrong, they mentioned that you have access to almost all the buildings and such

Not only that, but the maps will have a wide variety since they would change based on mode, number of players, day or night....

Also, I think they did announced that they might work on some extra maps, hopefully they are free (shuddup, wishful thinking D:)

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Jun 30th 2008 5:52PM

As much as I've been loving my PS3 lately, someones got to say it....DELAYSTATION 3!

Boy With Balls on Chin @ Jun 30th 2008 5:59PM

Little late there buddy, I had ya covered.

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Jun 30th 2008 6:00PM

Thanks man.

Noshino @ Jun 30th 2008 6:02PM

Nope, I have been keeping up with the news about it...

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Jun 30th 2008 6:05PM

That's good to hear...

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Jun 30th 2008 6:05PM

My apologies for the doubler...

Negativecool @ Jun 30th 2008 6:30PM

I fear for the success of the SOCOM series this generation. It was popular for the PS2 because it was the most popular online game people could get their gun off with.

There weren't many opportuniites to do that online with the PS2, hence its success.

That problem no longer exists with the PS3...There is a decent library of good 3rd person/1st person shooters for it.
I just don't see how they're going to compete.

Titanium_Orchid @ Jun 30th 2008 6:41PM

Oh Noes!

Hopefully the game (an subsequently I) will benefit from the delay. I'm looking forward to being able to go into the buildings. I can see myself and a buddy wreaking havoc as a two-man sniper team.

I think I'm going to get the Quore issue with the SOCOM beta.

gameplayFanBoy @ Jun 30th 2008 7:21PM

A rumor about a PS3 game being delayed? I'm just going to go ahead an believe this is true, regardless of evidence. Oh PS3, why do you tantalize me with so much gaming goodness, only to pull the carrot away just when its in reach?!

PojoMofo @ Jun 30th 2008 9:18PM

I love me some SOCOM, just have to wait another 3 weeks for it :(

People, buy a freakin headset plz!!!!

Dwag @ Jun 30th 2008 9:32PM

As long as i could get that Headset I have no problem.

Delayed again Sony you best to Release My FFXIII without delays cause thats your only killer app and GOTY competitor(LOL Killzone and Resistance you stand no chance against GoW2) ane better tease that God of War 3 at E3 or its over Sony.
