NEW SOCOM Info

Well this info has been out for a couple days, but its news to me..

Quote :

If you caught GameTrailers TV last night then congratulations! You had an exclusive first look at two previously-unannounced goodies from SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs – both of which we’re going into detail about right now.

The first new element ties directly into gameplay and it’s one that we’re really thrilled about. In select missions during the solo campaign, players take control of female South Korean 707th covert operations expert “45.” Acting as the team’s primary form of reconnaissance, 45 slinks into various locales under the cover of night to capture valuable intel and sabotage enemy operations. Armed with silenced weapons and a handy stealth meter that lets players know how visible they are to hostile forces, 45 is a sneaky badass that adds a lot to the already-intense SOCOM 4 experience. We really think you’re going to enjoy playing her missions and we’re glad to finally let that secret out of the bag.



Part two of our double announcement is just as exciting! In addition to the standard version of SOCOM 4 that you’ll find in stores across America on April 19, there will also be a special limited run SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs Full Deployment Edition. Priced at $149.99, the SOCOM 4 FDE is packed with all kinds of awesome. What kind of awesome are we talking about? Check it:

SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs video game on Blu-ray disc
PlayStation Move Motion Controller
PlayStation Move Navigation Controller
PlayStation Move sharp shooter
PlayStation Eye Camera
At the heart of this limited edition bundle is the PlayStation Move sharp shooter, giving you pinpoint precision and a streamlined and authentic design. On top of all that, you also get easily accessible buttons, responsive digital trigger, realistic pump-action, a firing mode selector, adjustable shoulder stock and convenient access to the navigation controller. Sold separately, the contents of the SOCOM 4 Full Deployment Edition are valued at nearly $220, making its $149.99 price tag a savings of more than 30%!

Regardless of which version of SOCOM 4 you purchase, you can still pre-order it at participating retailers to receive two unique slug-powered shotguns (one each for both the Spec Ops and Insurgent teams). Of course, folks who pre-order SOCOM 4 at GameStop get the shotgun plus the exclusive Suppression map, “Abandoned,” inspired by the classic map of the same name from SOCOM 1 and II.

The SOCOM 4 information train isn’t done yet! We’ll be back again next week with a ton of new details including the dates in which our multiplayer beta kicks off and a few other pleasant surprises to boot. "

They just keep making socom unsocomlike, now its starting to look like an arcade game.

Though, I think I probably will buy that package. Only $150 and you get the move, camera and the game!!

As the April 19th release date for SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs quickly approaches we’re happy to go into detail about everything the game has to offer, which is quite a lot! In addition to its cinematic single-player campaign and highly addictive online competitive multiplayer, SOCOM 4 also features a cooperative multiplayer mode where up to five people can play through a number of dynamic missions set up specifically for co-op play.
SOCOM 4′s cooperative mode features two main game types: “Takedown” and “Espionage.” Takedown charges your team with scouring an enemy-filled location in search of opposing VIPs that you must neutralize however you can. Espionage turns the focus to intelligence gathering, where you must use teamwork to track down enemy data and sabotage their local operations.



Before each co-op mission begins, you’re able to adjust both the overall difficulty and the density of the enemy soldiers positioned on the map. But even at its easiest, SOCOM 4′s cooperative mode has been designed to be challenging – as you progress, you’ll need to use teamwork by calling out enemies and objectives to your squadmates.

Today’s co-op unveil isn’t the last you’ll hear of SOCOM 4 this week. Tune in to GameTrailers TV tonight and learn how stealth plays a big part in the game’s campaign in addition to another special announcement fans won’t want to miss!

Also last but not least. Zipper announced that they will be releasing info on the beta around the week of feb 28th

I'll probably buy that package because it comes with the gun, too. I'll probably play SP and Modern Combat : Domination with the gun / move combo so it's not bad for the price.

Yeah the bundle will save you alot of money!

Socom 4: $60
The Gun: $40
Move Controller: $50
Navigation Controller: $30
and the camera is included too..so looking at like $50 for savings

im buying the gun package the game itself is $59.99 and the move is $99.00 save the 10 bucks and get the gun attachment also.... my wife and son want the move anyways!

and you never know with the 50'' tv might like the arcade feel with the game!

If that gun or the move is an advantage on multiplayer I will cry. Many. Many. Tears.

u might have to cry like a girl then Pounded!

Na. That gun wont last if this game is frustrating.

If Killzone is any implication with the sharpshooter attachment there is a huge learning curve, I'm sure there will be a few players playing with the sharpshooter but the DS3 controller is still going to be best just because it's what you're used to playing with.
