Confrontation looking like games we've seen before?

im with Irish, its annoying...the more i watch that video, it looks more and more like Slant 6 is trying to make it like the old Syphon Filters & GRAW, which was good and bad...the whole "only online thing" and "up to 32 people" and "rolling grenades" does sound cool though.
All in all, it could be a great game, and the graphics are tight, but hopefully its not just another repeat of an old game, but with a different name, if you know what i mean.

I was really hoping it was going to be like socom 2. From what i've seen so far it looks like the opposite. Don't need sprint sure as hell don't need armor. And that rolling move looks really stupid.

^^^^ I concur with the above statement

Even though I probably won't be able to get my hands on this beauty of game most likely, It definitely looks like a must buy so far. While it does have some of those GRAW characteristics, it still looks worthy of buying. I'm not a fan of over the shoulder but it's whatever you know.

Man, you guys need to get with it. If it's borrowing elements from existing games, it's doing it because those games were good.

I tell you what, and you can take this to the bank, buy some cds, earn some interest and send me a check in a few years; If all they did was release a better graphics version of Socom 2 everyone would hate it. Change is good, repetition is stale.

I'm enlarging this next part because it's important and you need to read it:

Look at Rainbow Six Vegas. The first one was amazing, an absolute mind-blowing experience. So here comes Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and everyone hates it because it's exactly like the first one. But wait, if the first one was so good, and the second is identical to the first one, then surely the second one will be as good as the first. Right? Right? Wrong.


It sucks because you've already played it. You played the hell out of it. Now, here comes this new one, that's just like the old one, and you can't stand it because you've already played it out without even opening the box.

Just lay off the hateraide until you get your hands on the game, then if it sucks, feel free to do all the pissing & moaning you want.

The point im trying to make that nobody is getting obviously. Is there was nothing wrong the way it was thus none of that new crap is needed. Everybody loved socom 2 the way it was. Lag, hit detection needed some work but that was pretty much it. There is no need to take stuff from different games to add to socom. When they do that it's not socom it's something else. I can hatorade all i want too if they are making it not what id like it to be.

For one cd's aren't a good buy right now... At least in New York there around 2% compared to 3 months ago at 5% to 6%.

But everything else I agree on. Change is good up to a certain point. Prone roll???? Thats a no no. But on the other hand rolling gernades thats pretty sick.


What the game needs is more interaction with the enviornment. For example climbing trees and moving objects to create cover. They cant do that but they added prone roll....

Omeegar for president!

I agree 100%. The only reason I didn't get 2 was because it was just like 1.

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST.

If you liked socom 2 or 3 witch ever one you played and don't want change then keep playing that one and dont post useless things.

No matter what something will be different so stop crying give it a chance then get back to us.

You know what I used to love? Kickball. I could play that game for hours when I was 12. Nowadays, yeah one game sounds like fun, but I'd lose interest after that.

I hear what you're saying, but it's a catch 22. The best thing they can do is take what made Socom 2 so good, and add a little to it to make it great.

Ok, I'll give you the open-mic thing, but being able to roll side to side when prone? Seriously, what's so bad about that? Why does that bother you guys? You can lean, so what's so bad about a roll? It's not like when you're rolling a bunch of ninja swords fly out of your body killing anything in a 20 yd range. I mean, really, come on. It's like btching for the sake of btching.
