Like Killzone I have to admit I’ve never had the pleasure of playing any of the previous SOCOM games, yes I know I’m a noob! Many people in my clan are huge fans of it though so it is definitely a game I should have played. Coming in the next few months though is the new PS3 game SOCOM Confrontation. I’ve been watching this games development for a good while now and stupidly i never got round to writing anything here! At the recent Leipzig conference the new SOCOM Confrontation trailer was shown, here it is…

My thoughts on this trailer… well if I’m honest I think the gameplay looks a little wooden, well what I mean is the way your character moves, but i’m sure when I get it on the PS3 with lovely HD graphics i’ll think differently. This game does interest me, I really like the fact its a multiplayer only game , I really like multiplayer games, and I know at least 15 of my Clan are getting it too, which means It will be so much more fun to play.

Last week I was alerted to a thread on the Playstation forum posted by Shijima

Hi all!

Okay, this is the news you’ve all been waiting for. I’m happy to confirm that Europe will indeed be getting access to the same Beta trial as our brethren in North America! Furthermore, our trial will begin on the SAME date (1st Sept) and will also end at the same time (30th Sept).

You’ll be pleased to hear that it will be possible to play against not only gamers in Europe, but also those in North America, Oceania and Asia too! Access to this “multiplayer demo” varies by country, so keep your eyes peeled for your unique promotional voucher.

Should any unforeseen circumstances affect our plans then I’ll make sure to keep you updated here…

Shijima.

How good is that! Now as of writing there isn’t much information about how you can get on this trial, I’m lucky in that I’m a SCEE Beta trial member so I will be getting a code for this, but as and when I hear anything I’ll be sure to post it here.

Here are some screen shots from the SOCOM Confrontation website to show you more of the game, check out their site for more.
