Socom? More like so-so.
Oh I totally went there with the headline.
It’s pretty busy here at work so, you know, slow day and all that noise. It seems that Zipper announced Socom 4. Anytime a company puts a number at the end of a new entry in a long running franchise, it’s serious business.
This is especially true if said series has been in the gutter for an extended period of time. As a former Socom fan, I can confirm that the series has indeed been in the gutter for years.
I’m finding it hard to care about this game. The prospect of a playing a quality Socom is cool, but there have been so many other military shooters since my Socom 1 and 2 days that I can’t find it in me to get excited. Actually, I was over the series when GRAW stepped into my life.
Maybe Zipper will surprise me. It looks nice enough graphically, but the game touts a 32 player online experience which doesn’t sit well with me. Socom was at its best when it featured a limited number of players per round.
Also, please no vehicles.
Socom 4 hits this fall.
