Zipper Interactive's latest in the
SOCOM series has seen its release delayed into 2011, the developer has confirmed
via the franchise's official blog. Having appeared in playable form as early as GDC 2010,
SOCOM 4 was scheduled to ship this fall and has been used by Sony as a key "core" title in demoing PlayStation Move.
"While we're certainly aware that you've been looking forward to playing SOCOM 4 this year, we don't want to take any shortcuts. Instead, we want to deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game we possibly can and we're going to use our extra time to do just that," read the statement,
penned typed by Zipper community manager Jeremy Dunham.
SCEA's senior corporate communications director, Patrick Seybold, told Joystiq, "We can confirm that SOCOM 4 will be released in 2011. The team is focusing on additional features which will help to deliver the most compelling and immersion SOCOM experience yet. Please look out for further updates and announcements over the coming months."
As soon as a more specific release window for the title is announced, you'll read it here.
[Thanks, Solace]

SOCOM fans have been eagerly awaiting this: a story-driven PS3 game developed by franchise creators Zipper Interactive. In addition to adding PlayStation Move support,
SOCOM 4 is promising a much more engaging and comprehensive story mode, evidenced by this new story trailer. Strangely, Shanghai comes under attack (yet again!), evoking -- for better or for worse -- an
Army of Two vibe.

Operation Commander Cullen Gray has been through a lot. In his 36 years, he's seen military action the world over, been field-trained with various Special Operations units, worked with NATO and now, well now he's about to star in a popular war-based video game franchise.
SOCOM 4 has the fictional Cullen Gray acting as an addled operation commander who "will pursue success at all costs."
The
EU PlayStation blog has a rundown of Gray's entire dossier and a handful of new images (seen in the gallery below). And if you're wondering who it is that he resembles while you're browsing the images, it's obviously
Lost's
Matthew Fox. WE HAVE TO GO BACK, CULLEN!

There are two questions I'll try to answer with this quick hands-on preview. Firstly, is
SOCOM 4 the true sequel to the
SOCOM franchise we've been waiting for? Secondly, does the PlayStation Move controller work as intended?
It's hard to answer the first question, especially within the constraints of a ten-minute demo. What I can say is that even in this early state,
SOCOM 4 looks very good, sporting incredibly detailed environments. While the early code has a noticeably choppy framerate, there was already a large number of objects in the environment. Whether it's a car, a trash can, a thrown-out mattress, there are tons of objects to take cover behind in the world.
Controlling your squad should be familiar to anyone that's played a recent
SOCOM game. Holding L1 on the Move allows you to slightly slow down time and direct your team to move to position and await orders. You can even call in an airstrike by holding down the Move button and holding Down on a target. After sneaking down an alley, we were able to catch a large squad of soldiers lounging in an open field. They had no idea what hit them as the bombs dropped.

According to the block of info posted on
European PlayStation Blog, there are a lot more PlayStation Move games out there to be seen than tonight's press release let on. Beyond the already
revealed support for Move in
SOCOM 4, LittleBigPlanet and EyePet, a whole mess of games were shown off at Sony's GDC event, from
Move Party (um, a party game) to
Slider (
Mirror's Edge meets
Pain?) to a Western shooter in
The Shoot. (We've dropped a screen of
Sports Champion above -- a game we think looks particularly fantastic.)
Oh, and the Euro Blog's mention of
"DUKES" is just another name for that
Motion Fighter game, which was mentioned onstage during
this evening's press event -- so cool your heels and put the Jump to Conclusion mat back away. (We do rather like the name "Dukes," we'll admit; though we've been told it's a regional thing, and us North Americans are likely stuck with "Motion Fighter" instead.) We've yet to confirm which studios are developing which games, but you can be sure we'll ask Sony just as soon as we can. Here's the complete list of PlayStation Move titles that we know of, though,
for now:
- Sports Champion
- The Shoot
- Slider
- TV Superstars
- Move Party
- Motion Fighter

Yesterday, Zipper Interactive announced its return to the
SOCOM franchise with the sequel to the sequel's sequel,
SOCOM 4. This first trailer reveals a bit more about the project, including -- spoiler! -- confirmation that there will be at least one Irish lady and a burning boat at some point in the campaign. Thankfully, the trailer seems to indicate that the game will still focus on shooting dudes with guns and telling other dudes to do the same. It's a
tactical shooter, remember?
Just tell us one thing, Sony: is it just
"SOCOM" or is it

It's...yeah. Not the best trailer you'll see this month. SOCOM 4 will feature 32-player multiplayer and 14 singleplayer campaign missions.
