As SOCOM fans, we all know the importance of SOCOM 1 & SOCOM 2. One big way to let SONY know how important the online features of those two games are to us, is by all uniting on the concept in one place. We did this with a SOCOM 2 HD poll. We are now doing it with a SOCOM 1 HD on SONY's BlogShare.
If S1 & S2 are voted the in the top 10, I cannot fathom how SONY could ignore it. This movement could do something as simple as turn SOCOM 5 into more of a "classic experience", or could even give us the homerun millions of SOCOM fans have waited almost 8 years for...
S1 HD, S2 HD, or even a SOCOM Legacy that gives us S1-CA.
Our BlogShare request is a simple one. S2 HD was a bit specific on using a "MAG" engine. Our idea is a broad one. We don't care who the developer is, or what engine is used... we simply want the SOCOM Multiplayer experience most of us fell in love with on the PS2. S1 sold over 3.4M copies. How many other remakes have been released who didn't hit those numbers? And very few truly revolutionized a console the way S1 did with the network adapter and headsets.
Some of you have given up hope on this franchise, but the fight isn't over comrades. With "grass roots" developers emerging, with the SOCOM fanbase being one of the loudest voices on the PlayStation forums, with our favorite games in the Top 10 on SONY's BlogShare out of all "SONY related ideas" posted in general, I'd say we are on the right track. Vote and leave a comment. The revolution has begun.
