KnackChap Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 SOCOM:Confrontation Published by: Sony Computer Entertainment Developed by: Slant Six Games Genre: Shooter Platform:PS3 Number of Players: Up to 32 (no single-player) Release Date: Q4 The latest in a series of Q&As over on SCE's Playstation.Blog sees Seth Luisi, director of development at SCEA giving readers the low-down on SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation for PS3 and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike for PSP. Luisi reveals that SOCOM Confrontation makes full use of the HDD found in every PS3, making it possible to offer character and environment detail not possible on other consoles. "One of the often overlooked advantages of the PS3 compared to competing platforms is that it contains a 2.5" serial ATA hard drive which allows us to use the Hard Disc Drive for extremely fast data access," writes Luisi. "Since we can count on the hard drive to be in every PS3 console, SOCOM Confrontation uses a very aggressive data streaming system which in turn allows for much greater detail in the game environments. For this reason alone, the level of detail which you will see in the environments and characters in SOCOM Confrontation is not possible on any other game console." Gamespot Preview In a brief presentation to the assembled press, the game's director of development Seth Luisi introduced a trailer for Confrontation, saying the game had been in development for only four or five months so far. The trailer featured rifle-and-bazooka-toting soldiers shooting up an open-air Middle Eastern market and showed off the gameplay from several angles. Luisi explained that the goal of Confrontation was to create "the ultimate SOCOM online experience," and to that end, the game will only be playable online. What's more, the game will actually be purchasable online, as Sony plans to make it available through the PlayStation Network, as well as through traditional retail outlets. SOCOM: Confrontation will feature team-based combat for up to 32 players, multiple international special forces units, customizable appearances, and clan-specific options, such as uniforms. Luisi also said the game "takes full advantage" of the Sixaxis motion-sensing controller and the PS3 hard drive. Finally, Luisi said the game would be supported long after its release with regular downloadable theme packs for sale through the PlayStation Store. While he wasn't specific, he did say the packs would include new modes, special forces, customization options, and weapons. Sony is planning on showing more of SOCOM: Confrontation off at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in July, with the final release of the game set for this holiday season.

CarbonCore Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 SOCOM bluetooth headset revealed. The Blu-ray retail version of SOCOM Confrontation will include a Bluetooth headset. However, expect something much classier than the one included in the Warhawk bundle so long ago. This one is made specifically with gaming in mind -- and as such, earns the official PlayStation branding. The headset, which will also be available seperately from the game, is designed for long use and even includes a much-needed Mute button, a feature uncommon to most Bluetooth headsets. The device will also include a USB cradle, so that it can be charged via the PS3. While neither the design and price have been completely finalized, Sony plans on pricing this quite competitively. From the looks of its quality, we believe Sony will charge more than what they did for Warhawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 SOCOM Beta Kicks Off in Sept, How You Can Get In The SOCOM Confrontation public beta is set to run for the entire month of September, the developers announced today, and there are two ways you can get into it. Gamers can land entry to the public beta by preodering a copy of the game at GameStop, which will also give them two keys to the beta to share. They can also get in by downloading the June issue of Playstation Network video show QORE. GameStop beta keys go live on September 1, while the Qore when start on September 8. Unfortunately, this is only for North American gamers. Other regions will have to wait to see what their local Sony tells them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot-Drake-Pixel Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 SOCOM: Confrontation European Release Details Discovered SCEA has already revealed the release details for SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation, but now, it seems we have the European information as well. According to European gaming site LivePlay3, the online military shooter will launch on October 17, which is only three days after the North American release. And if the translation is correct, the game will be available on both the PlayStation Store and on standard Blu-Ray disc; both versions will release on the 17th. The Store version and the Blu-Ray copy without the headset will retail for 39.00 Euros while the Blu-Ray version with the official Sony headset will carry a sticker price of 59.00 Euros. Also, Trophy support will - not surprisingly - be included, so all the release details seem to be mostly in line with the U.S. information. That's a good thing, too, because European gamers have been getting the short end of the stick with certain titles in past years. Although recently, the truly big-name games have enjoyed worldwide simultaneous releases. This isn't exactly simultaneous, but it's close. Warhawk was the first truly great online-only experience for the PlayStation 3, but Confrontation could give it a run for its money. There are already plenty of SOCOM followers out there after the PS2 generation, so it has a leg up on the competition... Let's just hope it turns out to be a very worthy multiplayer extravaganza.

Somebody Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 SOCOM Pre-Order Beta is Go Added by Jeff Gerstmann on Sept. 5 What I am doing right now: Typing on a laptop. What I wish I was doing right now: Sitting at home with no shoes on, playing the SOCOM: Confrontation pre-order beta. Battlefield fashion! Yes, that's right, people. If you pre-ordered a copy of SOCOM: Confrontation from GameStop and properly registered the pre-order code you received via e-mail on Sony's page for the beta, you should be receiving your download code sometime today via e-mail. If you subscribed to Sony's QORE video service, you'll get in next Friday, 9/12. My code came in immediately before leaving for work this morning, so I left the 1508MB demo downloading back home. Now all that's left to do is sit here and stare at a clock. Crap, and I was going to try and go out and do something this weekend, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
