Despite having a playable demo at Comic-Con news has arrived that Zipper are delaying the release of SOCOM 4 on the PS3 until next year.
Its not clear how much pressure Sony is putting on developers to include Move controls in their games, as we get closer to the launch we can certainly anticipate regular PS3 firmware updates and game patches.
Delaying an entire title is not a minor decision and hopefully not a sign of Move compatibility Move(ing) more game releases.
From their blog:
Dear SOCOM faithful,
Some of you may have heard through your favorite media outlets that SOCOM 4 is now a 2011 title, and we are writing this letter to you, our community, to confirm that SOCOM 4 is indeed scheduled for release in 2011.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.
Over the coming months, you can expect further updates on our 2011 release, in addition to other gameplay and feature announcements on the official SOCOM 4 blog, which can be found at blog.socom.com.
On behalf of everyone here at Zipper Interactive, we want to thank you for being patient and thank you for sticking with us — it will be worth the wait.
Sincerely,
The SOCOM 4 Team
