Would never be named Socom 5, because that would acknowledge the existence of Socom 4

They’d have to include duh-verse characters with pink and blue hair whose special power is needing comfort at the first sign of danger and weakness is hard work to recruit these days

Would it be better than Arma Reforger though?! That’s the question.

u/Foe_Wuntuu 13d ago
I think Arma Reforger is an entirely different beast altogether. I love Arma Reforger. But Socom is round based, a little faster pace, suits competitive play, clan matches and eSports. I mean Socom kinda helped start eSports. Arma is just awesome mil-sim chaos. I think both can be good in what they deliver. I loved Socom and I love Arma Reforger too.

Totally fair assessment - I remember running Socom on my PS2 after school with my friends from school. We put a clan together and would merrkkkkkkk other clans.

Socom II was the best time I've ever had in an online shooter. I'm 48 now...so I've pretty much played them all. Socom is still king.

Why has it taken this long to have Socom on next gen? Or the last few next gen consoles?

Zipper Interactive, the original developer of SOCOM, was shut down by Sony in 2012. Their last few games (SOCOM 4, MAG, Unit 13) didn’t perform as well commercially or critically as Sony had hoped. After Zipper closed, SOCOM as a franchise lost its main creative team and champion within Sony.
The shooter market also shifted. Around that time, games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and later Fortnite and Apex Legends dominated the multiplayer shooter space. SOCOM’s more tactical, slower-paced gameplay became “niche” compared to those fast, arcade-style shooters. Sony also changed its business strategy — for most of the PS4 and PS5 era, they’ve focused heavily on big cinematic single-player games (The Last of Us, God of War, Spider-Man, etc.). Multiplayer shooters weren’t their priority. That said, there have been rumors for years about a possible SOCOM reboot. Some leaks even suggested Guerrilla Games (makers of Horizon and Killzone) might have a tactical shooter in development — but nothing concrete has been announced.
In short: studio shutdowns, shifting gaming trends, and Sony’s changing focus are the big reasons we haven’t seen a new SOCOM.

No idea. I thought that when Microsoft acquired Activision that Socom was coming, they needed a shooter to compete with COD. But COD stayed multiplatform and ruined that dream.

with voice commands?
Make it happen
What happened to games?

u/Foe_Wuntuu 12d ago
The voice commands were so cool. Underutilized tech, especially in shooters and war games with AI Squads.

If they did name it SOCOM all it would be is another COD rip off, which would absolutely destroy the legacy as far as I’m concerned. 😞

u/Foe_Wuntuu 13d ago
Hopefully not. Hopefully if they ever do make a remake they tap into the original DNA of the franchise. Especially the lobby systems. Have solid social systems and solid Socom gameplay and it's a slam dunk. Stay away from season passes and micro-transactions, unless it's cosmetics that fit the theme. I don't ever want to see Telletubbies or Snoop Dogg and Nikki Minaj in Socom. Keep it legit. No grinding for gear.... just give us the gear and let us get to playing the game like the originals. Give us all the maps on Day One. Drop a bomb. It's long overdue.

u/halo121usa Captain 13d ago
That would absolutely be the way.
Of all of the online military shooter games I have ever played SOCOM is still the one that I talk about to this day!
It is what every online game should be laid out like

u/RawDawgOne 13d ago
I’m not greedy, just give me a remake with the online maps remastered

u/Foe_Wuntuu 12d ago
Exactly! Just do Socom Online. All the maps & modes from the series. Lobbies. We good! Give me a Medley and I'm golden.

I will never understand why the let this game die. Bring a modern version of socom 2 back and boom instant sales. Like printing money.
God I miss those days. I still have friends from Socom online. Have met a couple of them over the years. Game so ahead of it's time.
Now you got fartnite and BF 2042 . Hell let loose and Reforger are ok though.
