Initial recon indicates subject is returning to previous areas of operation. "Crossroads is by far the fan favorite," Luisi says, "so we definitely wanted to show what this level would look like in the next generation. We're trying to maintain a smaller size; the largest level in this game is going to be smaller than anything we had in SOCOM 3. And so while we are going to expand Crossroads out a bit, it's not going to be this huge, expansive area. All the other maps we're going to ship initially with the game are all going to be new."

    Is it just me or does this game look graphically like it was originally planned for PS2 and marginally upgraded to call it a PS3 game.

    This game looks terrible. Another crappy budget game given to Sony because nobody else wanted it.

    Terrible. They should just cancel it if it looks that bad.

      Are you that *bleep*ing ignorant? SOCOM has been an exclusive PlayStation franchise for years, given that it is still the best Online game(s) on the PS2 and quite possibly PSP as well.

      I will agree that Slant Six should work on the graphics (and most likely they will) but I'm pretty sure SOCOM fans will be glad to play this game just for an upgraded version of Crossroads. The shame is that this game doesn't have single player, which is one of the few military single player games I actually enjoyed throughout every game in the series...not to mention that playing through it and unlocking secrets (and Cross-talk objectives) unlocked multiplayer content. Should be more than enough for the arrival of Zipper's SOCOM 4 IMO.

      "We'll have ways of unlocking equipment and customization options by participating in team tournaments and clan ladders," Luisi says. "If you start winning, you're going to get rewards like different weapons and items. We even plan on having some higher-end tournaments that'll have a very specific reward for the person who wins that tournament. You'll be able to get things that set you apart from other people [and show] you've achieved a certain level of success in the game. It's about bragging rights."
      Awesome way to encourage teamwork and community features.
