You Have My Attention Vanila...

[VanilaGorila-x-]

Word is Zipper has a Small group working to see how feasible it is to translate the code from the PS2 to the PS3 and then report to Sony with their findings. Nothing official yet, of course, and no word on whether it's S1 or S2, but my gut tells me S2. No idea how long this group has been going at it or if they've reported anything. I just know they're looking into it. Maybe further along then my guy even knows, at this point anything is possible.

This came from a Sony guy and not a Zipper guy. Same guy that told me S4 was in the works loooooong before it was public knowledge. TIFWIW

PS. Let me know there's a thread over here I need to respond to, I can't visit every forum. you herp a derps

I love you Vanilla hahaha...You have given me hope and seem genuine unlike Goodfella Gay (whoops meant Jay). Please feel free to update whenever you can/ if you're allowed.

Lookin forward to hearing good things in the near future.

That's some damn good news Vanila. I would have doubts but you seem to get legit info from whoever your source is. This news pumps me up.

However, I really wish they wouldn't just port one individual Socom. I would be much more interested in a Socom Legacy. Anyhow, this is good news.

They very well could be doing just that. My guy wasn't privy to the details, just the big picture.

Thanks for the Info VG. I know everyone wants Socom Legacy,but a straight port of Socom 2 is enough for me, less potential for them to fuck shit up. Like if they added KNIFING,sped up the fire rates, or some new market BS, i would cry.


Really Fn exciting news though.

Oh yea was curious if your Zipper contact sent you the info via "LETTER" :)

I would think it would be a little bit tricky for them to do a legacy because after S1 and S2 there was a different engine. But then maybe they are just testing one iteration as an experiment and if it turns out good and looks like they can do it in a reasonable amount of time, they may have confidence they can work the code of any past Socom.

The main worry I have with this is that if they want Zipper to "report their findings" then it may be tough to get one done. Every clue I have ever seen from Zipper tends to lean towards them having no motivation at all to do a remake. So even if they make some progress with it they might just tell Sony otherwise so they can "make the game they want to make" instead of the one the fans been asking for. Sony is hard enough to convince to do this and it's not beneficial to have a dev who has no enthusiasm to do it on top.

Maybe it's all been PR lines saying they don't want to do it to keep it under tight raps but I have seen them outright mock the long time fans, calling them a small rabid fanbase, telling them S4 isn't an S2 remake to deny content in every past Socom game, etc. so I have serious doubts that Zipper secretly wants to do it.

Jeez, here we go again....hope creeps in. While i would like to see a game with as much content as possible, I would rather see a simple Socom 1 remake exactly the same. Adding diffeerent stuff from different games will just make the community bitch and complain about why wasnt this in the game?, or why was this added?. Adding this and that from different games with different features only leads to bad decisions on what gets added or nixed. Plus on Socom 2 there was a community that policed itself for the most part from the rpg's auto shotty's and lets not forget the terrorist multiple grenade launcher. Do you think players this generation will play nice with these toys? I don't. So bring on Socom 1. With only the addition of animations from Socom 3/CA. "Keep it simple stupid"

LOL. You won't see any old S3 screenshots coming from Vanila. Now, the question here is will GoodfellaJay release an old S2 screenshot and try to exploit the fanbase for more YouTube traffic again?

[XPSYCHOPATH410X]

I really hope it will be a Legacy version and not just a port of S1 or S2. I really wouldn't be interested much in a game with 0 customization at all. And I fear if they just port the code it could potentially have the same flaws as far as glitching goes as previous games.

[McNoob]

I just wanna play SOCOM again. Not these weird hybrid crapshooters.
