Retail hints at one-month SOCOM Confrontation delay

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 30th 2008 at 6:00PM }

Could it be? Is another anticipated PS3 game getting a delay? Maybe. But don't sweat this one! Gamestop customers have been notified that their upcoming pre-orders for SOCOM Confrontation may be delayed a month. Originally scheduled for a September release, it appears that the Slant Six team is getting an extra month to polish the title. The new release date? October 14th.

While this date has yet to be confirmed, we're told that the official SOCOM blog at SOCOM.com will update tomorrow with an official response. Stay tuned.

Booo...well kinda expected it, the beta still hasn't even started....hopefully LBP comes out September, then Socom October, and Rock Band 2 November.

Resistance 2 November, baby!

MCX @ Jun 30th 2008 6:05PM

Maybe its cause they having manufact. issues with headset bundles.

PSN: SamuraiBubba @ Jun 30th 2008 6:49PM

That, and didn't some preview mention network troubles with the 32-player matches?

MCX @ Jun 30th 2008 6:16PM

Maybe its has to do with manuf. of them slick new headsets. Either way I am sure it will be worth the wait.

I doubt it but if true I might have to skip it and buy just LBP that month. Too bad.

MexicanTerrorist @ Jun 30th 2008 6:20PM

But this makes no sense. Then SOCOM and LittleBigPlanet will be forced to take sales away from each other.
Hope it's not true!

youre right. THis may cause a domino affect since Sony doesn't want to release too many good games at the same time. KZ2 is will now be delayed to Summer 09.

McKey1991 @ Jun 30th 2008 6:34PM

I think they needed the extra month. The game looks good from what I've seen recently but they need more time to polish it up.

Andrew @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:06AM

^ I agree more the time more features better things.

Plz sony dont feed the x360 trolls

The Headset is all I want they should reveal it at E3 and mass market it in August.

FFXIII better not get delayed.

Dwag @ Jul 1st 2008 12:39AM

As long as they sell the Headset alone before the game hits then I'll buy that.

HanzoTheRazor @ Jul 1st 2008 1:58AM

I don't really know.. but my gut feeling says FF13 will come out for xmas, time will tell. Anywayz, we all want shiny polish.

Hopefully some big-wig at Sony looked at the what /6 had done too the franchise, and the disgust that was apparent on the socom.com boards and stepped in and made them fix the game.

I can only wish this is what happened.

Well I thought by now they would have known how to program for the PS3s' Blu Ray as if it were DVD and plus this is a FP Developer. I know Square ain't a FP Developer for Sony but come on FFX was one of the best visuals the PS2 shown it pushed the limits and then God of War did better but not by a lot and then Gosd of War 2 push the PS2 passed its limits.

Sony what's up with ya I mean you won the format war but the format ain't doing much to help.

jtedesco33 @ Jul 1st 2008 11:22AM

Do you guys realyl believe all of this stealing sales crap? I know that being a fanboy can be blinding, but it's getting vwery obvious that even Sony is having trouble getting things to run on their system. 2 years to get trophies, in-games xmb, and custom soundtracks. LBP, Killzone 2, Socom all pushed back as well as many third party games.

How come Resistance 2 was able to come out before Killzone 2 which was announced 2 years ago?
