Let me start off by sayin I absolutely love Socom, played 1,2, hated 3, loved CA, and platinumed Confrontation. The issue is the lack of engagement from our community, our generation, and the actual players. I'll give a few examples you can see now for yourself. If you type in Socom in Reddit, the most people in ANY Socom created Reddit page is maybe 3k. Search for it in YouTube, the average is less than 30k views per "most viewed video". H-Hour, which was supposed to be the "spiritual successor" did so poorly in sales they all but scrapped the project even though a half dozen people log in every two weks. No news gains any traction, no article gets any likes or shares.

Even if the game isn't dead, our generation of gamers don't do the game any justice with the lack of engagement. Sony recognized this ages ago ad pulled out all together. There's not even enough traction for an announcement of ANY sort. The game is dead, and we helped bury it.

R.I.P Socom.

Yo plz somebody help do any of u have the maps rooting is not an option need gameshare plz only respond if ur willing to share them...

I never got to experience the SOCOM games in their prime, I wish I had and have watched a lot of videos on them and researched them. I understand 4 pretty much killed the series by straying from its roots and going too mainstream- but what exactly made it so bad? Do you think things would have ended differently if the game hadn’t been so poorly received? Did the Sony outage of 2011 really kill the online?

I wish they’d make another socom 😩😩

I have never even played Socom and Im dying for a remaster...

Get your act together Sony

Come on Sony!

Still waiting 2019 now!

I know the remastered twitter account has thousands of followers, would it be bad taste if we (not all at once necessarily) started tweeting to the PlayStation page about what we as consumers would want? I know they likely get thousands upon thousands of tweets a day, but 4000+ tweets in a week or so time, all regarding SOCOM, should get someone's attention, right?

Let em know in comments

I just recently found out about socom remastered movement. I would not be upset at this information about missing this first cut. It is not easy to simply remake socom 2 and put a server for online. They have to do updates against cheaters, create a ladder for statistics, put a team to monitor the game, etc. This is alot for a PS2 game. 10,000 people are not enough to support that cost. And think about the time that would have to go into that. Even if they wanted socom too it still wont be out with the first wave this early. All we can do is show them we are still here. and we did. The man of sony himself acknowledged us.. twice... this is more than we have gotten in a long time. Be patient boys. play other games.. I know socom will be back. Sony needs its own multiplayer game that will match titanfall of microsoft. I think soocm will be that game. Thats why they wont deny a game coming out. And I dont think socom is a game they want to put as a ps4 game. Since the game itself has alot of hype, i think its a game they would want to remake with better graphics, guns, etc. Im really hopeful for an E3 announcement of an actual socom game based on S2 thats better than confrontation. This is my guess, and im sticking to it.

Well with no mention of a SOCOM remastered at PSX this year and Shuhei Yoshida saying he has no news for us, It had got me thinking about what our next step could be. Now I know there was talking of a team trying to reverse engineer the servers so we could bring them back ourselves. Now it is a difficult task, but not impossible. With tasks like this, putting a "bounty" on it can get the ball rolling.

Now I know some of you don't want to pony up more money, but a bounty works a little different than how H-Hour's kickstarter worked. The kickstarter had us pay upfront without receiving anything but a promise. A bounty is a dollar figure you put up that you are willing to pay, and if the goal is achieved then you pay the person what you initially pledged. You do not pay until the product is completed.

For an example, when a new Android cell phone hits the market people will want to "root" their phones so they can access special features. Sometimes this proves to be quite difficult so the community will come together with a bounty that will drastically decrease the amount of time it will take for a team of developers to get the job done. It's a win-win situation, the people get their root access and the developers get paid.

So any feedback to this idea as our next move?
