Siphon Filter Writer & Days Gone Creative Director John Garvin would not mind working on a new part SOCOM, reborn as a story-driven title.
Garvin talked about this on a recent stream. David Yaffe, where he also asked gamers not to wait for sales and buy games at full price if they want to receive sequels. When one of the viewers of the broadcast asked him what kind of “sleeping” Sony IP he would like to do in the event of his hypothetical return to the company, Garvin chose the once popular series of tactical shooters from Zipper Interactive…
“SOCOM had a huge fan base when the games of this franchise were released. They always outnumbered Siphon Filter in sales by a 2: 1 ratio, if I remember correctly. It was truly a huge achievement. When Seth Luisi [создатель SOCOM] led the development team, they introduced all these headset innovations and other cool features to the series. I think a story-focused version of the game would be fantastic. “
Garvin also noted that there is no need to do multiplayer for the new SOCOM, as the series does very well with this. Call of duty, whose single player on the contrary seems to him to “suck”.
“I would love to see a fighting game based on personal experience because there have been some really cool films released recently. [в этом жанре]”- added Garvin.
The first SOCOM was released on Playstation 2 in 2002 and became one of the first console titles to use an internet adapter for online play. In total, the series has ten parts, the last of which (SOCOM 4 or SOCOM: Special Forces in Europe) came out on PS3 in 2011.
Earlier, SOCOM’s father, Seth Luisi, stated that he was not interested in the further development of the series.… In 2017, when a fan inquired about a possible sequel to the franchise, Luisi responded that “he no longer has the desire to work on SOCOM games.”
“To create the original and work on all 10 parts was [для меня] enough. “
