SOCOM 4 Announced, Teaser Trailer Debuts On GTTV
Before MAG, Zipper Interactive was a well-respected developer of the critically acclaimed and popular SOCOM franchise. Well, looks like they haven't been sitting on their hands after completing the 256-player MMOFPS.
As revealed over at the PlayStation Blog, Zipper has announced SOCOM 4; the game is currently in development and will be released exclusively for the PlayStation 3 this fall. They're not quite willing to divulge all the details just yet - i.e., setting, squads, etc. - but they can say that a "militant revolutionary has unexpectedly seized control in an important South Asian country." You are part of the Ops Com and your mission will be to command an elite 5-man squad, who must stop this nutjob's insane agenda before he does something rash. You've got only six days and the clock is ticking, so you had best make good use of your time. Yes, this is a single-player campaign but of course, the bread and butter of this series will also return in fine shape- it's the 32-player multiplayer mode that boasts more Special Units forces ever. If you want to get a peek at the gameplay, you'll need to tune in to GameTrailers TV tonight at 12:30 a.m. EST/PST; they'll have a debut trailer for you to feast your eyes upon. Lastly, Zipper wants to let you know that they're not putting MAG behind them; they will continue to support it with updates and more content "for a long, long time" and just because SOCOM 4 is part of their lineup now, that dedication won't change.
So get ready to lace up the boots and move out once more this fall. SOCOM is back!

A lot of people have started to hate SOCOM thanks to Slant 6, but I'm choosing to believe that Zipper will produce a solid game.

Sounds like Zipper is really doing some nice stuff on this one. It will be interesting to see what they name this one. Since Confrontation was Technically #4. But if Zipper chooses to keep this new one as #4 then it's kind of like an apology for having let slant 6 ruin a good series..lol
Jungle battles, mountain battles, beach battles, giant cityscapes! And though it's a shooter, it's not a FPS it's typical SOCOM TPS with tactics included. Looks like I'm going to need to start a new PSX clan in the forums in a few more months..lol, Who's in?

Well You Never Know They Might Blow Me A Way Wit This New One...
One More Thing I Was On Other Sites And Everyone Keeps Saying That Socom Is Another FPS, But I Don't Remember It Being That Way Since The Last Socom I Played Was Socom 2.. Or Maybe It Is Just Me, Cause I Never Played Socom 3 Or Confrontation They Might Have Changed It Up a Little....

But like I expected it wasn't some big shock to me, or over exciting. But we all have different tastes I suppose and that's why we have so many genre variations.

Once again Mr No Name, your nonuse of anything to do with actual english makes a typical sentence sound like filth. I would say socom would hate coming out of people. Let me fix that for you.
"can't believe how much Socom hate 'is' coming out of you people"
There now, isn't that better. It is called the english language. Learn it, live it, love it.
