SOCOM: Confrontation is a third person tactical shooter video game for the PlayStation 3 and is the sequel for the previous games SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs, SOCOM Combined Assault and SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs. The game is being developed by Slant Six Games which is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is being published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game will support 32 players and will be sold both on the PlayStation 3's online store and on a Blu-ray Disc with the Sony bluetooth headset.
The game is rumored to be released anytime between June 15-August 26,2008 possibly with a bluetooth headset. SCEA announced that "To date no announcement has been made for a new PS3 headset or PSP GPS, any information you have received is speculation and rumor. And SCEA has yet to set a launch date , but will do so in the near future." SCEA's Scott Steinberg also confirmed a summer release for Confrontation at the recent GDC. "SOCOM: Confrontation shipping in the summer. SOCOM is one of those emblematic PlayStation brands." The game was first announced at the SCEA's Gamers Day at their Santa Monica Studios.
Seth Luisi announced that there are at least five different North African themed maps including Socom II: U.S. Navy Seals famous "Crossroads." No further map info has been released there are however rumors of additional maps.
Slant Six has no plans at this time to include vehicles as it wants the maps to be more "intimate" instead of large, very unpopular maps from SOCOM 3. .
Zipper Interactive, the developers of all previous SOCOM titles, are also working on their own installment for the PlayStation 3. Unlike Confrontation, it will feature both single player and mutiplayer modes, and the extra development time will also give them the opportunity to work on new features for the game. According to Seth Luisi, SOCOM 4 will be a "drastic departure from the current game."
