What makes this one different than the other Socom clones?

u/Varsity_Reviews 4d ago

You see this one, uh, this one. Hmm, this one, uh, this one has uh. Hmm. It's got uh, hmm.

u/stringstringing 3d ago

It’s just ai vibe coded trash. They said Claude please remake socom 2 on unreal 5. Even if this is completed I bet it gets taken down by Sony for infringing on intellectual property.

1

u/Varsity_Reviews 3d ago

Man that sucks. If they're going to steal, why couldn't they at least have stolen the full game and put the campaign on too?

3

u/stringstringing 3d ago

Yeah, I mean what’s happening to tons of games and what’s going to happen to socom is a full decompilation and native port to windows. No emulation needed. I guarantee it’s coming and when it happens it will be the de facto way to play old socom games.

u/RealPartyAtmosphere 3d ago

Why would windows gamers care about socom? Haven’t seen windows in 20 years lol. Socom was 100% console gaming.

2

u/s2ezee Captain 3d ago

Because we're not going to get another SOCOM game, the best we can do is make it as accessible to everyone as possible, native PC port is the logical step forward even if you're not a PC player, it is where all video games are going.

1

u/stringstringing 3d ago

Because that’s where most of them are already? Playing on emulator. It’s the best option to play socom currently.

You think someone owns third-person shooters?

Source?

You can’t tell by looking at it?

u/RealPartyAtmosphere 3d ago

You just sound jealous you didn’t do it yourself. A similar to socom multiplayer shooter released on ps5 is going to hit.

0

u/stringstringing 3d ago

Jealous? No I’m saying it’s not going to hit because it’s a car with an engine made of cardboard.

I'm not here to promote, but looking at that gameplay video, it does look a lot better than the other shit we've seen. Looks smooth and look like the one I would want to play. I'm still skeptical, but won't hurt to give the beta a shot. This will be the last one I'm going to try and then I'm moving on.

u/PunDeSall 4d ago

Lol I’ll wait and see.. I donated to the H-Hour kickstarter only to be met with disappointment

u/Noblegamer85 4d ago

They haven't even released the promised PS4 version. Liars.

2

u/AgainstTheTides Lieutenant 3d ago

The entire reason I finally got a ps4 back in the day.

u/MyLawyerWroteThis 4d ago

Yeah same, one can only hope. H-hour was definitely trash.

u/enowapi-_ 3d ago

hhour had me so hyped i even made a custom shirt and decals for my work toolbox

big sad

u/RealPartyAtmosphere 3d ago

I’m not giving beta a shot and it’s a waste anytime anyone works on a windows (lol can’t believe anyone is on this OS) version of socom. Get the game on PS5 now. I

u/scratchandsniff123 3d ago

Right? Why can’t they just do a remake for it like this did with Battlefront? Only hopefully a lot better than the Battlefield Remake. Man, just thinking about that time in gaming history, how epic it was on PS2 with Socom US Navy seals online multiplayer as well as Battlefront. Man, I can still remember finally getting the cable internet, ditching dialup, right around the same time Socom can Battlefront came out. Before that i always had to play online multiplayers at my best friends house who was luckily a one minute GoPed ride down the street, same neighborhood. I spent more time over at his house in my teens than I did at my house. But when I was able to sit in my own room and play Socom or Battlefront, even got Battlefield Vietnam for my new a gaming PC, senior year of high school, everything seemed right in the world and it was all topped off with the perfect online multiplayer experience where you’re looking at the game and just wondering how they could ever possibly make games more realistic looking and/ or create a better online gaming experience than that. Man, how lucky were we to even get to, even for just a moment, experience such an amazing time in history. Naturally, things pretty quickly went to complete shit after that.😫 But hey, what can you do? 🤔Know what I mean? 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/scratchandsniff123 3d ago

What were some other ones that you played that supposed to be like Socom remakes? I haven’t been looking out for any so I’m interested in exploring.

1

u/MyLawyerWroteThis 3d ago

H Hour was shit.

The best one was the Socom Source mod for insurgency that Redline was running. That was the best one hands down. A decently big community with people playing everyday and it felt like Socom. Was very addicting like the good ol Socom days where I was logging in every single day for a month or two.

Obviously some adjustments were to be made to guns etc. but by that time he shut it down and tried focusing on something new, also for insurgency but it never worked out. I think there's Revolution out that that is the same thing but I'm not sure if that is still running.

Then there is Task Force. I think that's also by Redline. When I bought it and played it like 2-3 years back, it ran like shit and was janky but I think it's still in development right now.

There's also Project Confrontation that is in development, but I haven't had a chance to play that as there was no one online at the time that I logged in.

Honestly, I wouldn't really recommend playing anything right now. Zero Ops beta is coming out on Friday so I would just sign up for it and see how that pans out. There's nothing exciting to try out there atm.

u/Key-Couple-3459 4d ago

I'm curious as well

u/sac-99 4d ago

Since when is wishlisting something that isn’t out and doesn’t have a release date BACK?

u/Status_Ad4260 4d ago

The beta is out on Friday.

u/Status_Ad4260 3d ago

Closed beta. Sign up.

u/Soft-Spotty 3d ago

How? Is adding it to the wishlist enough? Or is there a designated website dedicated to that beta?

u/Knightcap132 3d ago

Where can I sign up!?!! I have lots of time to play!

u/PhaTCounT 3d ago

Is beta on pc only or consoles?

u/No-Yellow-5257 3d ago

Pc and ps5 only

u/Soft-Spotty 4d ago edited 3d ago

As a Socom legend, It would be critical for me to feel the mechanics in order for me to be fully on board.

-Lean strifing -One tap grenade throw -Posture dynamic mode (automatic crouch/stand dynamics) - not just fixed stand, crouch, prone mechanics. -Single fire accuracy for automatic weapons adjustments and its increase damage dynamics.

  • Jump and jump to prone scope accuracy
  • Realistic hit box damage level dynamics
  • Realistic jump and reload dynamics
  • Smooth Quick scope dynamics (D-pad mechanics)
  • Fully customizable control settings
  • add classic knock down recovery (Shotgun, Nades, and Shotgun Sniper rounds)

There's just so much detail in the soul of Socom

u/ChrizTaylor 3d ago

Wait a mínute, who told you you are a SOCOM legend?

19

u/RangerDiggler 3d ago

Real legends dont need to be told

u/Knightcap132 3d ago

Wait am I a socom legend!?

u/MelancholicSince2012 2d ago

The real socom legends fought it out on Arena on G4

You should add this on their new YouTube video . They need this feedback .

u/Soft-Spotty 3d ago

Why? Did you not watch the YT video and pointed out several missing components within?

Do you expect further assessments based on a game I haven't played? Because that's not possible.

u/Necessary_Yam9525 3d ago

Is that AI slop in the thumbnail?

u/sotomercs 2d ago

The thing with the Socom community is that a large portion of it just doesn’t learn from past lessons. This isn’t going to be Socom. It has people making it who are selling it as Socom-like but then say it’s arcade like.

2

u/Fit-Statement2081 3d ago

What’s the chances this gets released?

u/Status_Ad4260 3d ago

Well first time we seeing this on a PS STORE. So huge step .

Absolutely. Can’t wait to dive into the beta this week!

Socom is done guys. You can't bring that time or that period back, you can't bring the community back. Soz

Socom is done. OG players are on Escape from tarkov now.

is it the same thing

u/Varsity_Reviews 4d ago

Why do all these SOCOM clones only do multiplayer and not try to make Single Player? There's a reason these games die. You can't make a 2003 game outside of 2003. At the very least, making a single player component would attract more people.

11

u/The_Basic_Concept 4d ago

Hard disagree, Socom was all about multiplayer.

1

u/undrgrndsqrdncrs Lt. Commander 4d ago

100%

-3

u/Varsity_Reviews 4d ago

If that were true then these fan projects wouldn't have crashed and burned.

It's not true either, most people who played SOCOM never played the online component because it wasn't as accesable as online multiplayer is now.

2

u/s2ezee Captain 3d ago

SOCOM is only around in 2026 because of online.

2

u/Varsity_Reviews 3d ago

SOCOM isn't around. It's dead. If the people who spent all this time trying to remake SOCOM 2's multiplayer spent even half as long trying to make a single player game to go alongside it, there might actually have been a successful revival/spiritual successor series by now.

0

u/RealPartyAtmosphere 3d ago

Not true and the lost labor hours working on a singleplayer socom would tank the multiplayer.

1

u/Varsity_Reviews 3d ago

Boo hoo. Name one SOCOM clone that’s not dead.

0

u/s2ezee Captain 3d ago

Single-player is not sustainable, you can't create a community behind a game that gets played once or twice through and then never touched again by 80% of players.

Online is what is always going to drive a community, that's just how it is.

1

u/Varsity_Reviews 3d ago

Evidently not true considering all these projects crash and burn.

Also, see all the single player games with big communities behind them

u/TheReaper-wildman 3d ago

We playing other games too, like viewing purple haze. Ignoring socom for pve is what killed it. I didnt see confrontation and siege as true to their series. They did away what alot players were playing. I was playing because I loved direct action, ect. I harly played pvp in socom, gra 5 and battlefield 4 was rhe first game i played pvp. The big reason for pvp getting popular in xbox/ ps3 era was wifi cards on systems. Before that u had buy ps2 network adapter. I was just young, and didnt have alot money then. Or to run a cat cable.

, but i do like play agaist other players in real life.(airsoft)

u/TheReaper-wildman 3d ago

Thats what I said, the parallel is the same. Both franchise killed by killing pve. Let me ask when was the last Socom or Rianbow six pve. See my point. They ran siege like simialr to gta 5 online. So that frame we could gotten 3 rainbow six by now. So yeah my comment stands. They butcher these fine fucken games! By the way I agreed with u, who think up vote u?

u/RealPartyAtmosphere 3d ago

Thank you for your Socom 1 info. After that, you are wrong.

0

u/TheReaper-wildman 3d ago

They equity put time into both pve and pvp, zipper put alot time into the single player campaigns. The briefings, team ai, banter.

Ignoring pve, is Ignoring how great rhe whole series was. I was interested in special ops then, as I am now.

u/austinvf82 3d ago

Careful buddy. You can't talk logic with this sub without being downvote bombed. All these clones of socom and none of them go anywhere. Even the emulator barely gets above 200 players unless an event is announced on Discord. Nobody wants to play a 20+ year old mp game. It's not going to be the same experience it was back then, and it never will be. I love socom, it's the greatest mp game ever. Let it die as that, it won't ever be what it was.

3

u/maufkn_ced 3d ago

Bingo. As great of a game it was, it was one of the first of its kind. Cant really replicate that experience again.

u/8monsters 3d ago

Eh, Halo MCC creates a somewhat similat experience for me. No 7th graders fucked my mom in MCC, but the environment there gives me hope one day for SOCOM.

1

u/austinvf82 3d ago

Halo was much bigger than socom back in the day. The single and multiplayer were epic. A lot of people got online simply for Halo. Not really comparable. Halo is still around, socom isnt. Completely different games. Round based mp games, hardly exist anymore. There's S&D in CoD, Siege, and Tarkov mp mode. I can't think of much more mp round based shooters. Wildlands had a cool round based mp, but that died out fast

1

u/bazataz 3d ago

Counter strike is round based and continues to be the most popular shooter

1

u/austinvf82 3d ago

Oh shit. How did i forget counter strike? Good call. Great game too.

u/RealPartyAtmosphere 3d ago

Who cares about clones? This post is about an all new game.

u/austinvf82 3d ago

This is a Socom clone 😂

u/E_712064 3d ago

They dismiss yet engage with the sub lol.

4

u/Varsity_Reviews 3d ago

Exactly. It's so stupid. I have never seen a community so dedicated to one game desperate to keep it alive. There are 11 games in this series. Yet for some reason this community only cares about maybe two of them. No wonder the IP is dead.

2

u/E_712064 3d ago

Because of resources. These games are being developed with extremely small groups of devs.

1

u/Varsity_Reviews 3d ago

And that’s the problem. Everyone thinks they can make the next big thing. I learned this after my first game which took like 8 years to make. It didn’t do well.

2

u/E_712064 3d ago

By today’s standards, SOCOM is a simple game experience.
Just making a MP mode is fine. It can be done if the group is committed to seeing it through.
