Socom 4 More Evidence of what is yet to come.....

Here's the Zipper Interactive Job listing for a large multiplayer game on a next gen console



http://zipperint.com/jobs.php?alljobs=1



Pretty interesting, it says in the Game Developer Section that as a qualification you have to have expierence with developing on other consoles....I know it probaly means nothing but its very interesting.

Socom on the ps3 = me

[hauch]

Well, they certainly need people with experience working on "shipped multiplayer titles" and "3+ years of industry experience developing AI," because S3's AI is.... retarded and the patching system is.... irritating

"The job will entail designing, implementing, and integrating a character into a large next generation game."
"The job will entail development of server side components for a large-scale multiplayer game on a next generation console."
"The job will entail development of client side network components for a large-scale multiplayer game on a next generation console."

Yeah, I agree. This means plans for a Zipper game on PS3 exist -- not necessarily S4, though

Yet if you look at the Zipper website, you will see the Socom emblem there. I mean its not confirmed, but c'mon think for a second. And by the way do you think they're gonna make another Crimson Skies????

They've had game developers hiring forever now...

Yea, its kind of old news, but whatever. It doesnt really mean its for socom, but its like 98 percent certain that it is for socom 4 or whatever they are going to call it. Lets just hope they dont mess socom 4 up worse then they did 3.

I know about how CVG reported this like in February, but I didn't really believe them because they have given us ficticous articles before so I just really wanted to check it out on the official Zipper website. And yes it will probaly be Socom 4 because the only other game that Zipper has developed that is known was the over-hyped Crimson Skies that was unfinished(Hmm...sounds just like Socom 3). I know this is just speculation but there has been a rumor going around that the areas of operations are Hati, Northern Ireland, and Portrugal....But hey I am not believing it at all becasue us Irish would be too drunk to even think about war.

I thought Sony tok over the series? Did they just take over Zipper?

[NyghtcrawleR]

They might have acquired them, but zipper would still be making the games...just sony their bigger boss per se
