SOCOM: Confrontation's so good, it's only possible on the PS3 |
It's time for another of those "Inside the Developer's Studio" interviews on PlayStation Blog, and SCEA Director of Development Seth Luisi is on the hot seat. We'll be seeing a couple of games with him involved this E3: SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation for PS3 and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike for PSP.
When asked what the PS3 can do to the SOCOM series that other consoles can't offer, he boasted of the machine's "[2.5-inch] serial ATA hard drive which allows us to use the hard disk drive for extremely fast data access." That said, Confrontation promises mind blowing graphics on the environment side.
Luisi stressed, "The environments are the real star in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation." Even so, other departments such as character appearance share the graphics spotlight. As proof, Luisi provided the images that you see above and below.
"The characters are also looking really good. The skin shaders, cloth shaders, normal maps, and highly detailed textures allow us to have extremely realistic characters in the game," he added. He also said that the game is still in pre-alpha stage, and improvements are bound to happen.
But on the question about his favorite part about developing games for a living, he answered, "That moment of relief and excitement when I finally see things working in the game as we meant them to be."

Cant wait, thats really nice looking for Alpha stage, textures are sharp as on the player, can't wait to see a later build with player bump mapping and phong shading ^_^
I ended it! it was fun
"The images shown below" look worse then first gen 360 games.....compared to Ghost recond advanced warfighter, they are ass...
My god...when will the BS PR propaganda stop ?
Anyone with an eye for graphics can see those are seriously underwhelming screenshots....please show something better at E3 if you are going to blow your horn so loudly....
Although, I will give them props as it seems they have gotten HDR lighting working...but the environments are definately not impressive....
Welcome to the "Dark" side PS3 users....don't worry, it's not like that when you play...
How can you possibly tell is those screens are good or bad with such a small screenshot? It's also in the Alpha stage, just like Crysis which has some majour improvements.
It's just ANOTHER case of Xbots wanting PS3 games, that simple! If you want PS3 games, buy the fu-cking PS3. If I want Halo 3, I'll get a fu-cking Xbox and not spread rumours of Halo cokming to PS3, just like the fu-cking noobs that say MGS4 and FF13 will make it to the Xbox! HAHAHAHA!
Are they joking ?
hes right they do f looks like *****
and the video put out at GDC this year was just as bad
Wow...every time i read a post from you its like a verbal abortion. You bash anyone who says anything about the PS3, run your mouth like no one knows what they are talking about but you and it's really quite...pathetic.
I've said it once, and i'll say it again...you xbots really should not bash cause it just makes you sound that much dumber. As if buying a system with a 33% failure rate wasn't dumb enough, you have to open your mouths and downplay any positive news for PS3 users, usually ending with you saying how the 360 is better.
Really in all honesty, bragging about what the 360 can do is like the cool kid...with down syndrome...sad....
I like and all , but omg would u look at that backpack, thats just not good, not good at all
http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=707843495&size=o
heres a bigger picture for you guys. just look at the deep textures. reallly nice.
Wow its the xbox fanboy shatterdome, and guess what he's a stupid fantard. BTW hows that 40% failure rate xbox360 doing, i heard its doing so bad there making a farewell ceremony for it, and then sending it to the videogame graveyard, where it can be with Sega Saturn lol hahaha.
AUSOME! THERE AMAZING!
I hope they bring back every map from SOCOM 1 and 2.
And the psp maps as well................
are u ppl honestly sayin the graphics suck? wtf, worse than graw 2? graw 2 graphics are just unrealistic. U dont honestly expect that's how a real soldier looks, half his body black, the other half glowing? SOCOM is a realistic game. It HAS realistic graphics. Take a closer look at the details on the characters, and the environments, they're amazing. stfu just because ur jelous sony will have it good before 2008 ends. ppl are talking too fast about the ps3 sucking, because as i recall, a year ago, the 360 sucked balls and the only good games to get was pgr3 and perfect dark zero. also, the new warranty by microsoft is a joke. sony (uk) has a warranty on their system with a 1% failure rate called continous play which u just pay a small fee every month, and if anything happens to ur ps3, they give u another one in a few days. i hope it comes to north america. also, its a joke how microsoft is losing $1 billion. I guess they didn't really benefit from the xbox 360 lol
You really are a fanyard moron. I loved GRAW2 on the 360 but those pics look just as good as GRAW2 and it's only an alpha build. Are you really that stupid that you're unable to open your mind and accept the fact that another system can have just as good if not better graphics?
never played Socom, but I think the game looks great for a multiplayer experience available for download,(keywo rd: download)....might check it out!
Talking about graphics here is the list for best graphics 1. Is kz2 its a damn fact it knocked out no.2 which is crysis well the rest of da list is games lyk unreal. Socom looks good but after kz2 it just look meh
Yeah shatterdome is right. Those graphics are nothing special.
"When asked what the PS3 can do to the SOCOM series that other consoles can't offer, he boasted of the machine's "[2.5-inch] serial ATA hard drive which allows us to use the hard disk drive for extremely fast data access."
Basically saying just because of the standard HDD this game can only be done on the PS3? All a 360 dev has to do is detect the HDD and cache data to it if detected. GTA 4 will surely use this.
they dont look that good, but neither did Halo 3 in its alpha build. Now considering that these are screenshots from its pre-alpha build, they already look next-gen, so the final product should look awesome.
And even if it doesnt, its an online game. As long as the gameplay rocks and there are no lag issues then the graphics really shouldnt be that big of an issue.
Thats all you people with too much money care about. Graphics. I bet you it still has the same glitches from 2 or 3, not to mention the crappy gameplay.
But oh, you'll see the sand in those 8 grenade explosions 3 minutes into the match, and it will look so realistic the gameplay doesn't matter, right?
Keep wasting your money.
To be boasting graphics so much, those screenshots are pretty lackluster. They look blocky and washed out.
you people are by far re-tarded.... to say that these screen shots are bad or comparing them to a game that's already finished is just proving that you're afraid that this game will demolish the 360 competitors... how many times has it been said... THIS IS AN ALPHA (or Pre-Alpha) BUILD!!! CHILL OUT...WHAT DO YOU EXPECT??? you think the devs can make the final product on the first round? you should just go in a corner and suck your d-ick
Nothing we all haven't seen before.
"As if buying a system with a 33% failure rate wasn't dumb enough, you have to open your mouths and downplay any positive news for PS3 users, usually ending with you saying how the 360 is better."
I was watching CW's wake-up news at 5:30 am est and saw they reported that MS has lost $1 billion to fix the red light of death and extend warranties to 3 years. That's a lot of money to lose because they couldn't wait to fix the hardware before launch. Sony has not lost money like that and it shows that the hardware itself is better than 360.
i guess you don't see the difference between PS2 and PS3.
Appreciate it, if you have one that is. It's easy for someone to bash a game on a system they don't have. PS3's graphics are not *****ty.
I smell a nice exclusive in the air. But watch out! Those xbots might be coming to scavenge for a meal to flame on, cause they're getting hungry. (They ran out of faulty 360s to eat.)
I can t wait and u aint got 2 have 2 memory cards for the new maps and addons will be the ***** this time yea can wait just hope they use the hardrive for way better load times than socom 3
I love how you resort to name calling, instead of facts...
"sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me..."
Now, I don't give a ***** about the failure rate, because i've been using my 360 for 1.5 years for 3-10hrs a day and no problems....i'd almost like a red ring now, just to get a newer one.
Anyone who says these look like GRAW 2, let alone GRAW...well you don't have an eye for graphics.
If they actually had high-res photos i'd grab you some comparisons and show you that it's nothing special....you know, facts, instead of name calling.
My problem is that they tout it to be so great and amazing "based on these shots", but they are very lackluster....I realise it's still in development...but the game comes out in Nov according to IGN, so these should be pretty indicative of the final result, no huge leaps and bounds will be made 4-5 months.
Also I don't bash if there is nothing to bash....didn't you see me actually compliment them for getting HDR lighting working ? If I see something good I give it kudos.
This game looks pretty standard...not really back, but just standard....nothing worhy of saying "can only be done on PS3" The only thing that would make that statement true is if they put 30gigs of HD movies on the disk....but realtime engine wise...no...
they are not *****ty....but they are not so amazing that they can't be done on other systems....especially this game....which they said just that.
I'm glad some people aren't blind...but let's see what they have for E3, even though it can't be much more then this...but maybe it looks better in motion as most games do...
you smell that?... i love the smell of overheating 360s in the morning, smells like victory!!
I have good news there will be another DEV.
FLASHABLE PSP IS CONFIRMED DECEMBER 3 2007 from what my sources tell me. oh yeah ill be back in hombrew scene Soon Than You Think..
~DAX~
another *****ing ***** dev saying socom is only posibble for ps3 bull***** sony again paid them to say that ps3 is crap console socom was always ***** lots of cheat and glitch in it i never enjoyed that game and picture looks so ***** ***** u sony
Yes you Idiot they pay they re own Studios to say something like that LOL
those graphics look badass! this game is going to rock the ps3! what now 360 owners?! hmm?! yeah thats what i thought, yall aint got ***** on this!
ey man...as much of a PS3 fanboy as i am, i also understand that saying the things you just said does nothing but attract xbox fanboys...man, after what you said (not only you though, alot of ppl here do it too!) i don't blame xbox fans to come and attack back...they aint do nothing, but you and other people who do this are inviting them to come and RETALIATE (NOT START, YOU ALREADY DID THAT!) in this flame war...so please everybody (PS3 and Xbox fanboys)...think before you speak.
This is just confrontation and they made some ok improvements but one could only dream how good this game is going to look like on the final. And we cant forget about Socom 4. But when this game gets released im expecting it to look like Uncharted almost (animations is what made that game look so damn good)
devildude
YOU GOT OWNED LEFT RIGHT AND CENTER LMAO AT YOU AND YOUR FU_CKING FAMILY!
I agree its not all that special but you gotta remember Socom games never have the best graphics. But this 1 looks a lot better than the old ones, but still dosnt deserve saying it only can be done on PS3 (if they mean graphic wise).
A and shatterdome this is a tip to why people are saying your a fanboy n 5hit... Its not what you say, but how you say it.
Has it occurred to you guys that no one likes you or mister or shatterdome.
We give credit where credit is earned but you three bash the ps3 more than the media. I swear Just admit its freaking awesome and move on. I say it does deserve the title. Now scram.
LOl your the one announcing it like its something to be spoken on a mic. Stop defending the xbox fantards. Im a fan but if you read above on what Satterdome and Mister common sense says all they do is bash this system. And when good games come out and looks good they always have something bad to say. Thats why they need to get put into there place.
Socom looks awesome considering it to be pre alpha, so stop talking please, your opening the door to losers.
i mean...you might not have grown up and matured yet, but learn that two wrongs don't make a right man
"they are not *****ty....but they are not so amazing that they can't be done on other systems....especially this game....which they said just that."
What makes it amazing that it can't be done on any other system: IT'S AN EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE. Just for PS3 and PSP
theyre right it doesnt look that great..... it looks alright but far from being somthing thats "only possible on the ps3"
whatta crock of $hyt
"Has it occurred to you guys that no one likes you or mister or shatterdome."
And Stealth, has it ever occured to you that no-one likes you either, including PS3 fans? That's right, no-one likes obsessive childish fanboys, except other fanboys.
"We give credit where credit is earned"
No you don't, you're a fanboy who has nothing but bad to say about Microsoft, the 360 and it's games. And you're only talking about giving credit because I TOLD YOU THAT after your dumb comments about Halo 3 here;
http://xbox360.qj.net/Bungie-releases-a-lone-Halo-3-screen/pg/49/aid/96888#comments
Where according to you, Socom has better graphics than this image from Halo 3;
http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo3/Screenshots/H3_WSJ_CHIEF.jpg
Even a PS3 fan, if he's being honest, would accept that the unfinished Socom is far from being the best looking PS3 game we've seen so far and therefore does not look as good as Halo 3.
Just ignore Stealth. A number of us have identified him as a kid already (good to see you have too).
He NEVER has anything good to say about the 360 or it's games (including on the 360 forum where he trolls), so he is in no position to criticise XBox fanboys here.
Notice how you made a perfectly reasonable request for gamers not to invite fanboys, and yet Stealth took your post to be somehow defending Xbox fanboys, when in fact, it's quite the opposite (but he's obviously too young to understand that).
This behaviour is typical of Stealth. Sad but true. :|
"What makes it amazing that it can't be done on any other system"
It can be done, the difference is, it won't be. :)
You are an idiot if you can't see that first pic is awesome, look closely at his clothes and gun. It's the little things, his gear on his chest. Look at his skin, it doesn't look like plastic. But whatever keep deluding yourself.
to be honest ya i was inviting xbots to flame in because in all honesty, it doesnt really bother me. i enjoy the way they respond to aggresive ps3 posts and to sensible ps3 posts, either way its entertaining and at times informative.
i dont go around trying to offend people by any means, i prefer to ignite existing feelings not create them.
