Socom Successor H-hour pre-alpha preview

richymcdermott

The guys who where once zipper interactive formed a new team and took their idea of a game to to kickstarter hoping fello socom players could help them bring back socom games as they once where. Good news came out of it that the project got funded and now the team for this new game h-hour has a pre alpha preview of what the game will be like and its very socom.

The following platforms that the game will be released on is the ps4, one and pc

It might be pre-alpha footage, but they put it out there, so it deserves to be judged. And I will judge: it looks like bland, stilted, generic crap. The 'dancing on the corpse' animation at the end also doesn't endear the game to me.

My first multiplayer games on the ps2 were Socom I and Socom II and still remain to this day the greatest shooters I've ever played. The gameplay itself was phenomenal, maps perfect and the community of players was a thing of beauty. Still to this day have friends from them games.

The Socom series after the first two went very downhill including confrontation and Socom 4 on ps3. They were shocking compared to the ps2 games and a disaster to the Socom faithful.

Really hoping that H-Hour can replicate the experiences I got from the ps2 days, but I'll have my doubts until it's out.

Hopefully David Sears can replicate it back to it's best as he was part of the original Zipper Interactive which created the game and I'm sure he also has the guy that created the great maps on the old Socom's too. Shame he can't use some of the old maps unless Sony hand over the rights to them which is highly unlikely.

Can't wait for this to be released! Fingers crossed it brings back the old days.

Another cracker of a game! Totally forgot about that actually, good memories on the ps3 of that until they brought out the 2nd one which was a bit of a shambles!

well if their is one thing that needs tuning , it's that horrible music in that video :L

Also did anyone else see at the start of the gameplay footage
Look up at the top it says

"You were last killed by [MILF] ...." some good comedy their haha

But too be honest, looks dull and I've no interest, socom died along time ago, only way too revive it would be too bring out a hd remake of the game imo

For me Socom was never good. It was pretty much the substitute PS2 owners had for the much better online shooters on XBox and Pc but it was a pale imitation. I had all the formats at the time and Socom was did cut it.

well that looks awful

I liked Socom but I really loved MAG, it was such a good game probably the only MMOFPS I have played that worked and was neither a cluster f. or or wasteland.

I'll keep an eye on this. Pre Alpha footage is basically just to show a proof of concept so you can't take much from it but I've been burnt too often from crowd funding games to put another penny into any of them without at least the guarantee that if they don't make the game you get the money back.

Takedown Red Sabre makes me never want to buy a pre game again.
