The Rise and Fall of SOCOM

Ойындар

Please consider supporting us on Patreon: / gvmers
In the early days of the PlayStation 2, Zipper Interactive would debut a third-person shooter called SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs. Authentic, tactical, team-based, and online at a time where few other PlayStation titles were, SOCOM took the home console by storm. It gave Sony’s exclusives a more mature face, provided multiplayer-centric shooters a new standard to compete against, and helped single-handedly move the PlayStation 2’s network adapter and headset into gamers’ homes. The debut of SOCOM 2 the following year created an immediate classic, and confirmed SOCOM as a franchise that would be with PlayStation for years to come - even as unsavoury hackers attempted to ruin players’ enjoyment.
Yet try as SOCOM would, lightning never seemed to strike thrice in the eyes of the series faithful. SOCOM 3, Combined Assault, Confrontation, and many more would all proceed to be good, if not great games in their own right - but whether helmed by Zipper or Slant Six, SOCOM never found its third pillar on which it could rest. And just as it seemed as if the series finally might, SOCOM 4 would both trip over its design, and fall into a hole burrowed out of the PlayStation Network Outage of 2011.
SOCOM was shattered, Zipper was shuttered, and one by one, the entire series would go offline - though the hardcore would continue to find ways to keep the series’ flame alive.
This is the rise and fall of SOCOM.

    30 years old now, SOCOM was a huge part of my "video game life". It was one of the first online multiplayer games. I remember playing SOCOM 1 online when I was 12 years old. A year after 9/11 happened in the United States. I remember being apart of a "clan" as we called them back then, with a bunch of real nice close knit guys. It was a lot different back then than it is now. Because the whole online thing was new you almost felt like you were truly friends with these guys. Some of the guys you played with would ship off to war, and you'd never hear from the guy again. I remember a guy from my clan sending me a beta version from fort brag ( i live in canada btw ) of the newest game that was about to come out. Looking back I can honestly say I lived through the best time when it came to online multiplayer video games. People will never experience the same thing now.

I miss that and i miss how involved you had to be on socom. The competition. The rivalry. People would actually remember who you were! You actually had a reputation! Im 28 now and when i play ps4 its just a bunch of randomness. Its hard to get into these games now, cuz socom was all freestyle. You made of it what you wanted to. The games now seem so choreographed.

    Pumpactionmusket pretty sure it’s an automated voice or text to speech system, they use things like this all the time in corporate and university technology systems for trainings, presentations etc. you’d be surprised what voice technology could do. If you listen very carefully to inhaling, exhaling, intonation, and pronunciation of words and phrases, sometimes the narrator sounds unnatural, and more like a robot or a text to speech system than a person. Can’t confirm without putting a face to him though.

    SOCOM was my life. I'm not really kidding. I had never been so completely engrossed and wrapped in a game until then, and I haven't been since. In 2002 I was in 10th grade. I bought the internet adapter to slap on the back of my big brick PS2. It was the first online game I had ever played. The intensity added when you knew you were playing real people and not a computer was something I had never experienced before. It was addictive. The fact that everyone had a mic meant not just team work and strategy, but socialization and friendship. Playing predominately in a mode that didn't just let you respawn made you really think about if you wanted to risk dying and sit and wait 5 minutes for the next round. No game has given me the same adrenaline as when it's down to just you against maybe 3 or 4 other guys, you know your teammates are all watching you, and you pull out the upset to comeback and win. I actually thought 3 was great. What wasn't mentioned here is that there was a huge uproar when the game required a credit card to be played online. They promised not to charge it (and they didn't) I think it was meant as a tactic to control the amount of fraudulent accounts being made for hacking, but a ton of people didn't trust it. I knew I had to rely on my dad to trust me with his credit card. Much of the players weren't at the age where they had a credit card. Also, the larger maps are cited as a reason people got scared away. I think that's probably bogus because every map had a "small" version, and anybody that stuck around long enough to actually play them saw that they were really fun and usually more popular than the larger versions. What really killed SOCOM was Confrontation. I was in college by then and didn't have a PS3 anyway, but my buddies that I played with all said it was a hot piece of garbage and that was largely due to the change in developers and that they didn't make the system leap to PS3. Anything that came after that wasn't trusted. I never played any SOCOM that wasn't on PS2. I conformed to playing Modern Warfare and Halo because everyone in college was, they were fun games but my friends quickly mocked me for how many times I'd say "In SOCOM..." when talking about a cool feature that wasn't in those games. It just had so much that I haven't seen in gaming since. So many filters for the maps, good game modes, night/day toggle, vehicles toggle, etc. I guess it's good there isn't a game like this out there anymore because I'm an adult with a fiancee, career, house, responsibilities, etc. and not some teenager that lives with mom and has unlimited time on his hands anymore. But damn I miss that game.

Hell, over half the S3 footage they showed were from small maps, some of which was from an S2 map. How they got that wrong is beyond me but it's otherwise a good documentary. I never played Confrontation but I did play 4 and it was complete dogshit. The campaign was so annoying that I never finished it, and I played the co-op and competitive modes for about an hour before trading it in. The PSP games were a lot of fun as well despite the lack of technical features

    I played Confrontation in our local movie theater a lot with 5.1 Dolby digital surround sound. I feel like they should win an award for the time they put into that game with JUST the sound effects alone. Every gun sounded different (unlike Destiny or COD) and the realism of grenades/explosives was unreal. You could hear bullets whizzing past your head. Confrontation was definitely my favorite after all the bugs were patched. Too bad it didn't have all of the SOCOM 2 maps and single player mode.

Which goes to show once again that it’s better to delay a product and fix the issues rather than release it with issues. Sony And slant six were trying to get out the gate early on those holiday sales which just ruined it. They could’ve waited till summer and had a good initial reviews which would’ve helped sales.

They were friends, role models, and confidants for a kid that didn't quite fit in. They made me laugh and gave me life lessons. I really wish there was another game out there that had such a nice community. Maybe, one day I'll be in a clan that helps teach the younger generation but, I doubt it. There's just not games like SOCOM anymore.

    The thing that made socom 1 and 2 online multiplayer what it was, was THE MOVEMENTS of the players, the damage each bullet would inflict on the body, the straffing back and forth, the AIMING of the shooter. These things required skill and practice. Even the shape of the cross hairs and the size of bodies on the screen were important, as were map size and team size. This was the core of the game. The follow up games needed to keep these core features to have success, and any changes needed to be to the outer layers of the game. New maps, better graphics, etc.. are outer layers. All these idiot developers had to do was keep the core of the game and update a few of the outer layers and they would have kept community support and continued to grow. Socom 1, 2 were the peak of online shooters in my opinion and no game has ever come close to matching them.

    Damn this music is making me feel nostalgic. As a hardcore fan of the series I appreciate this video. I started playing the SOCOM series in I want to say 2004 when I was 14. It was SOCOM 2. I started playing it one night when my mom went to my older brothers place for something. He let me try it out and was immediately fascinated and hooked. I couldn't believe this technology at the time and speaking to others through a headset was a new thing to me and frankly I didn't know if it was real or not lol. Broadband Internet wasn't a mainstay in a lot of peoples and my parents couldn't afford it. So in order to get my fix I had arrangements to go to my older brothers house every weekend. Hell, I even remember going out and buying a network adapter for my PS2 and bringing it over to his house just so we could play together. I spent so much time playing SOCOM 2. My parents eventually got internet for a whopping price of $35 a month for unlimited high speed broadband with no data cap like today. It was so much fun I remember coming home from school every day and delaying doing homework just so i can hop online to play with my clan. Frostfire, Fishhook, Desert Glory, and Crossroads in my opinion are still among of the greatest multiplayer maps ever in my opinion. Years passed and new SOCOM games started to release and I would continue only to play SOCOM 2 although it wasn't as frequent as I did in my earlier days. So I purchased SOCOM 4 and it released the same week that Anonymous hacked the network and it was down for a while. I remember being so mad because all of the friends that I made back in my childhood days were going to be reunited and our old guild would be back.The network eventually came back and we ended up getting the band back together but it just wasn't the same. It didn't feel like SOCOM. No leaning around corner nothing the shooting felt off and on top of that you played as NATO Forces not SEALs. Years have passed by since then and I recently came across a bundle of SOCOM 2 and a slim PS2 with a built in network adapter and discovered a new way to play online. XLINK KAI revived my once burning passion for SOCOM but it was so bad online. Code 9ers and Glitchers everywhere. I would get booted all the time it was just not the same. So Zipper went out of business so I guess there is no hope for a Socom 2 HD remaster. Although I don't play SOCOM anymore, nothing will ever take away the memories and friends that I made and still have today. and believe it or not I was a LEGIT captain that nearly made Admiral before the fuckheads took over.

    Gosh darn it, the intro music got me right away. The lobby music for socom 2 and 3 were freaking AWESOME! Such nostalgia man. My childhood was freakin awesome with this game. I can remember it like it was yesterday the first time I put the headset on at my friends house who was playing this. The fact that you can talk to other people and play online against eachother freakin blew my MIND. It was so ahead of its time and pure fun and competitive. Once my friend told me I had to buy the internet adapter for the back of the ps2 to play online I instantly went and got one for myself and the game with the headset. THE GOOD OLD DAYS!! GRENADA!!!! 1v1 me up the middle on crossroads!! IW80 NOOB! M14 SCRUB! LOL I was so freakin good at shooting the M16 fast it sounded like it was auto! The way the burst fire worked on the M16 made it so you really had to time the burst perfectly to get it to shoot fast and really had a skill gap and that’s one reason what made socom so fun. I remember some people literally couldn’t use it because it was to hard to shoot it fast. I had the timing down perfect haha. Back when fire button was R1! Frost fire was my all time favorite!

    R.I.P. SOCOM. It all went downhill after 2. SOCOM lost its identity. 3 tried to be Battlefield, Combined Assault was just a glorified expansion to 3, Confrontation was good, but took damn near a year before it was playable and by then hackers/glitchers had taken over. 4 tried to be CoD. Socom stopped being SOCOM. Sony abandoned it to push Killzone in their dire search of "A Halo Killer" not realizing they had one all along.

    Socom 3 U.S navy seals helped me get through my younger years. It opened up a world of adventure online and off. It brings back memories of plugging in my network adapter and begging my mom to let me her use her credit card to buy the dlc skins and weapons. For me, if Socom were to be revitalized, it would be fun but never like when it first came out. This is my idea with remastering any classic game i.e classic WOW. Its an awesome idea non the less, but cant live up to the feeling we all achieved when playing our child hood games for the first time. Great times Socom!
