SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 also joins the Q1 party
Just when you thought those Q1 delays were over, SCEA comes in with a surprise. The upcoming SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 for PSP will miss its original late November release, and will instead come out on January 12th, 2010, two weeks before Zipper deploys MAG on PS3.
SCEA Senior Producer Mark Rogers says that developer Slant Six is not responsible for the delay and "development is on schedule." Instead, Rogers blames marketing, saying "some high value visual assets (screens and video) have only recently been made available to global marketing and we have decided to move the release and allow time to get the word out to everyone." So, although assets have been available since April, marketing hasn't received them until "recently." We're not entirely sure how this makes sense, but the end result is clear: you'll be waiting longer for this game, as someone gets their act together.

MAG at home and SOCOM on the go.
Oh, and MW2 whenever I feel like hating myself.

I need to hide my credit card as soon as xmass is over... not for this game particularly, but you know, everything else.

Lets see MW2 comes out 11/10/09 and Socom comes out 1/12/10 and if anyone is thinking how they are going to get both games there is something truly wrong there is a big date difference with both of those games im pretty sure you will have more than enough to bye both. (and as SpyderTaco said MW2 is on console and FTB3 is on handheld)

I'll give you a reason.
MW2 = Console
Fireteam Bravo 3 = Handheld

is a demo coming?

It seems as if Sony has completely forgotten it's flagship series that got their online play off the ground ...... SOCOM. I'd go as far as to say the same bullshit happened and it STILL happening with socom: confrontation. This series has the most die hard fans , I wish Sony would get a glass stomach so they can see what's happeneig while they have their heads up their ass.

After the horrible sales of Confrontation and the lack of support, i'll say that Sony might keep newer IPs instead. Why would they waste their money on helping make a game that is not popular anymore? The PSP is where its at now. You would blame Slant 6 for ruining Socom but i think Zipper has moved on to 256. Just my 2 pennies.

Lamesauce.

you know what, i'm probably gonna pass on this. the first 2 were decent to me and they were just too similar. shooters don't work to well on the psp and with soul calibur, dissidia, final fantasy 7, suikoden, patapon 2, field runners, and pixel junk monsters deluxe, there just isn't room for anything else for me to play

I hope some of the Q1 gets delayed into Q2/Q3. I'M NOT MAED OF MONEYZ DEVS
