SOCOM has had a bumpy ride over the last few years. While the series flourished on the PSP, the first outing on the PS3 was viewed as lackluster and too stuck in the PS2 era. So, Sony and developer Zipper Interactive had their hands full bringing the once-renowned and innovative shooter up to snuff. Thankfully, the results are strikingly good. While still focusing on the team-based tactical action, there’s enough refinement and technical enhancements here to make SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy Seals a real contender in the fight for on- and off-line military supremacy.

Meet the Team

Tasking players with the role of a rough and tumble Navy Seal who leads a UN-sponsored three-man strike team, SOCOM 4 uses a pretty standard set up. The story mixes plenty of cliché with some surprisingly hard-edged stuff. The main character is the strong, quiet type… gruff, but sensitive, yet willing to make the hard choices.

The other two soldiers on his team are the usual stereotypes: a boisterous and badass, yet sensitive, black guy, and crazy, borderline psychotic white guy. To shake things up, the merry three soon encounter a pair of South Korean UN soldiers whose team was lost in a transport plane crash.

DICE has now revealed the full-length “Fault Line” trailer for Battlefield 3 which clocks in at 12 minutes and 7 seconds. Though a lot of gameplay footage comes from the previously-released trailers, there is some new footage as well.

As a U.S. Marine in the field, periods of tension and anticipation are punctuated by moments of complete chaos. As bullets whiz by, as walls crumble, as explosions force players to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before.

The price of the recently announced NGP (PSP 2) is one of the most awaited news that players, especially considering the high price that surprised Sony at E3 2006 for PlayStation 3.

In an interview with CVG environment, Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, said they learned from the fiasco of PS3, and have taken action.

I can not speak of a final price at this time. But from the beginning we had one goal in mind. So, considering several factors, we have always had a price range in mind.

There are elements that we found great, but we had to leave out to keep the target price. It’s a great lesson we learned from PS3. No sense in putting all you want to a machine and do the math later. We have always had the price to the consumer in mind. We have to sell something that people can buy.

Yoshida has not said what the price range that Sony has in mind, although he pointed out that an NPM will not be sold for what is sold now a PSP.
