Zipper Still Working on Second PS3 SOCOM
Original SOCOM developer working on the next PS3 SOCOM.
By Sam Kennedy, 05/17/2007

At its recent San Diego Gamers Day, Sony announced that SOCOM was headed for the PS3 in a new game titled SOCOM Confrontation. What's interesting about Confrontation, though, is that it's the first console SOCOM game from a developer other than Zipper (the original developers of the SOCOM franchise) -- it's being handled by the brand new developer Slant Six games (who are also handling SOCOM Tactical Strike on the PSP). In its SOCOM Confrontation presentation, Sony mentioned that Slant Six is working closely with Zipper on the two titles.
1UP confirmed with Sony that Zipper is still working on its own new SOCOM game for PS3, though it's still quite a ways off (perhaps Fall of 2008?). Our understanding is that, unlike SOCOM Confrontation, it will provide single-player and multiplayer gameplay, and the extra development time will allow Zipper to really do some new things with the franchise.

But in case you were wondering what Zipper is up to, there you have it: two SOCOM games are officially headed to the PS3.

Hmm... the info seems a bit sketchy to me.

Why would two separate companies make practically the same thing? It's not the automobile industry for Pete's sake. SOCOM is getting pretty sad and personally, I think it's going to make its reputation sink into an even bigger hole (which was created from SOCOM 3).

Socom: Confrontation is being made by Slant Six, thats it. Also it will be strictly online and release date should be sometime this year.

Maybe Zipper saw how so many people kept typing up "If they would just release all the S1/S2 maps with next-gen graphics for a game, I would so buy it!" and they told Sony about it. So Sony said "Alright, we'll let these guys do that while you make a full Socom".

It's a conspiracy theory that actually makes sense. OMGZORS! 1337 H4X!1!!

I wish people would stop making a million Socom4 topics. Jease, go to gamespot and watch the videos for Socom:Confrontation. I'm watching the interview right now and OH BOY, did i want to CRY when i heard him say "we're going for get rid of the open environments and go to kind of an up close more interactive environment" and then later on it was "we're trying to go back to the old, yet leave room for it to evolve." Wow. Splooge? Yes, idid.
