The first news out of the direction of Socom in quite some time comes surprisingly from the technology section of the Wall Street Journal. Â In an article highlighting core gaming on the PS3 and their product strategy going forward, did Nick Wingfield out SOCOM 4’s release date? Â The columnist for the WSJ writes:
One example: Sony in April plans to release an installment of a popular combat game – SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALS – that exploits PlayStation Move to give players a more intuitive way of locking a gun onto a target than the traditional method of moving a gun sight with a joystick. In a demonstration of the game, Travis Steiner, lead designer of SOCOM 4, also shows how a game character quickly switches to a knife attack when a player thrusts the PlayStation Move controller forward.
GameStop still has SOCOM 4 listed for a July 1st release. Â Hope you’re right Nick, gamers get sort of pissed about this sort of chain pulling.
