PS3Today.com | Link to this article

Zipper Interactive, the development studio responsible for the highly successful SOCOM series has been acquired by Sony Computer Entertainment.

"We were first drawn to Sony Computer Entertainment by their vision for growing the videogame industry," said Zipper Interactive president and CEO Jim Bosler. "We've enjoyed an incredible relationship with SCE for more than six years...As a part of the Sony Computer Entertainment group we can look forward to introducing innovative titles that push online functionality and community experiences even further."

This can only be good news for fans of the series as this means that Zipper Interactive will now have even more resources available for the development of their not yet confirmed (but very likely in development) PS3 SOCOM game.

Wow, this is some great news. I wonder what sort of shooter Zipper will make next. This has put me in a great mood.

Hey Akakage I'm just curious, what games are you looking forward to on the ps3.

4 - PS3 Games
Unregistered - Akakage 01.25.2006 15:22
So far of all the announced games for PS3 I'm very much looking forward to Devil May Cry 4 and Genji 2. I'm curious about Heavenly Sword if they gameplay could rival the teaser they have been showing..then it could be good. I'm also interested in the DC MMORPG..City of Heroes-style game but with console-centric gameplay sounds appealing..especially with characters that most peeps are familiar with. I'm also interested in what Level 5 may or may not be developing..I wasn't a big fan of dark cloud but that rouge galaxy looks amazing. I'm not a Gran Turismo fan so can't say that I'm looking forward to that, neither have I been a Final Fantasy fan..(although Advent Children is a DARN GOOD MOVIE) so I'm not really interested in that either but perhaps the New Xenosaga games, any new grandia games and maybe Kingdom Hearts 3 if the make it. I never liked Socom or Killzone. Something was missing in the gameplay to me on Killzone. It had potential..but it just wasn't fun...borderline boring. I'm more excited about certain developers...than I am specific titles (mostly because there are only a handful of announced PS3 titles). I hope this answers your question. Top of my PS3 list DMC4

5 - oh yeah
Unregistered - Akakage 01.25.2006 15:24
I can't believe I forgot to mention Metal Gear 4 and WHATEVER Zone of the Enders title Kojima-san puts out...not matter what console its on. I need Zone of the Enders 3. Forgot to add that to my last comment.

I can see why not everyone is excited about a new socom. Im all love and hate with socom. love the online play, hate 95% of people who play online, Love the weapons (socom 3 in perticular), Hate the framerate, and so on. mabey it will be better on the PS3

Havoc 01.25.2006 17:30
Yea besides MGS4 I'm looking forward to Lair and MOH Airborne. Killzone wasn't one of the best titles on the ps2 but I'm really looking forward to seeing what they produce on the ps3.

What about Ni-Oh,I8,Virtua Fighter 5,Getaway 3 ? These are going to be awesome. About Killzone , I think they'll deliver because this time it's Sony itself who makes the game and you know it'll be irresistible.
By the way I want to know what do you think about #9 and likes of him?


13 - socom
Unregistered - don green 01.25.2006 19:52
I hated socom...never played the online version but I can see how it can be interesting. The main reason I hated socom and most war based fps games is because most of the time you cant even see what your shooting or whats shooting at youbecause the graphix are so garbage but with the ps3 Im excited to see what happends plus with sony directly handleing it damn if they make it anywhere as good looking as god of war that bring it on. Plus about the bought out sony developers saying its easy to develop there might actually be a legit non bias reason for that in my oppinion the company that built the system knows how to use it and Im pretty shure it would train its first party developers on how to use it as to why do the rest dont know yet well thats probobly due to time constraints. I hate MS for being an evil corp and just overall bad customer service and buggy products but I just might buy a 360 if they dramatically slash the price and if PS3 takes tooooo long to come out plus dont forget product shortages so if I cant get my PS3 before next february (07, which is possible) then 360 it is.

I'll have to agree, I didnt see what the big deal was with killzone but if its anything like the mock up trailer it should be great. I thought it was a big letdown when it came out on PS2. They were saying it was going to be the Halo "killer" but I'll have to say I didnt see what the big deal was with Halo either. Best fps games out there have to be Doom3 and Far Cry. Definitley looking forward to MGS4, and DMC, and Tekken, oh and GT............looking forward to them all really. As for #9, he's a racist piece of sh!t.

Yea really don't know much about the PS3 but i can't wait to get one. FPS's rock but I like them on the Xbox so yea. I like the PS3 for its RPG's like Dragon Quest and GTA. So thats why i going to get one. Dude man almost forgot my main reason for getting the PS3 because i like the Gundam games just hate Ban Dai they make them suck so much. Also can't wait for SOCOM wasn't really a huge fan of the first or second but this looks great. And yes i have a 360 and yes im getting a PS3 because they both rock for different reasons.

Hmmm
I'm sure most of the people who care thought sony owned the socom developer anyway so this still isn't a big deal, as I don't think it will change Socom 4 that much as Sony has published all 3 socoms to date. But for those who like Socom...good for you..I personally hated the game wasn't even remotely fun to me...but if that's your thing..then by all means enjoy it.

Shuichi
Virtua Fighter 5 I will most definitely own but It still hasn't been "officially" confirmed for PS3 so I didn't list it. As for Ni-OH..it looked like a NEW version of Dynasty Warriors from the video I saw at E3. I'd have to see more about it before I put it on my games-to-play list. I'm wasn't a big fan of the getaway also. It had some nice concepts in it..but I felt it was a mediocre title. Just another GTA clone with Mini-Coopers (UGH-I HATE THAT CAR). I'll give the new Getaway a chance..but its not a priority. Number #9 is just looking for attention..I tend to ignore philistinism. Racist remarks have no merit and do not belong here or in any other forum. Anyway back to topic..I am more excited about what certain developers have to potential of doing than I am about most titles. Kojima-san, Itagaki-san, Sakaguchi-san(I think ish how u spell it), Naka-san(please Nights: Into Dreams 2 next-gen)..just to name a few. Some of the best developers in the business. I expect great things from these developers and their teams on X360, PS3 and Rev. Not just these teams, Bioware, Obsidian, Namco, Rockstar, Ubisoft..the list goes on...the potential of what they all could create is truly unfathomable. I a4lso expect a few newcomers to really amaze gamers this time around. I'd be content with Ninja Gaiden 2 and Devil May Cry 4 but lucky us we are gonna get much more then just those 2 fantastic games on these new consoles.

BillGatesSucks 01.26.2006 11:03
Because I wasn't really familiar with Zipper I was checking out a site that listed their more popular games and the only one that stuck out to me was Crimson Skies, which was fairly popular on the xbox. I guess this means there won't be a sequal for the 360. Considering the popularity of the SOCOM franchise and the fact it's exclusive to Playstation, I was surprised to learn Sony didn't already own the developers. Smart move for Sony securing Zipper.

I don't get it, You speak on behalf of America and Americans? As I know they bombed you to death in WW2 and nuked Japan as well. I said before , I like America and it's people and I know they aren't like you. Pesonally I just dislike MS Corp. because of it's anti competitive policies and junk products and that's it. You try to say that being a Sony fan means to be anti American but this is not true. If Xbox was an IBM or Nvidia or Apple product (All American) I would love to buy it in addition to my PS3.

34 - Microsoft developing possible handheld?
bloval327 01.26.2006 16:48
Just saw on IGN.com that Microsoft is possibly developing a handheld gaming device. Want to know what all the PS fans think about this? I for one am a little worried the Bill Gates money machine is trying their best to compete. But they will soon find out the power of PS3. Well I for say Sony up the ante develop a new handheld capable of PS3 graphics and that would shut up Billy Boy and the Green Machine.

35 -
bloop 01.26.2006 18:14
Dont think MS or Sony will get anywhere near Nintendo when it comes to the handhelds. And i think the REV will more than likely flop and the big N will pull out of making set top consoles leaving them to completely dominate the handheld area. As for a handheld with PS3 quality visuals, gameplay etc., thats not going to be possible for a long, long time yet.

What? PSP is way better than DS or anything Nintendo has to offer in the handheld market. PSP is the undiputed king of handheld consoles.

37 - PSP vs. DS
Unregistered - Akakage 01.26.2006 18:58
I know being a loyal sony fan you must believe PSP is the greatest handheld on the market, but unfortunately that is not true. Nintendo DS is outselling EVERYTHING right now. PSP is a good handheld, but DS(really Nintendo) is the undisputed king of handhelds. The numbers back that up. I personally don't own either...and I'm not even a fan of DS but credit must be given where it is due...and DS(NINTENDO) has proven itself to be the leader in the handheld division.

Unregistered - ! 01.26.2006 19:06
i know , but DS looks like a gimmick compared to PSP. DS's graphics is like PS1 graphics while PSP is comparable to PS2.

bloop 01.26.2006 19:47
Dont have either myself, not going to buy either myself. People call nintendo innovative but I dont like all these gimmicks either, you just cant beat straight forward controls I think. Thats mainly why I think REV will fail, because of the controller. But at the end of the day, gotta hand it to Nintendo with the DS. They must be doing something right.

40 - DS and Nintendo
Unregistered - Akakage 01.26.2006 23:08
Actually DS is like between N64 and PS2 as far as graphics capability. They are better than N64 but not quite ps2..but very close. DS isn't a gimmick as the 2 screens are used for gameplay and offer very "unique" gameplay experiences (which is Nintendo's thing as of late). DS does in a way "change the way games are played", as I'm sure Nintendo is trying to accomplish the same thing with Revolution. Focusing less on graphics and more on GAMEPLAY EXPERIENCES is truly what Nintendo is about these days. So I believe it would be an error in judgement to write DS or Revolution off because they don't have the same raw power as X360, PS3 or PSP.

Japanese Dude...

The name's Akakage..not AKKKKakage or what ever the heck else you typed.

If you read above you will see that someone asked me directly what games for PS3 I was personally looking forward to. So I answered their question. Akakage STFU for nobody. You don't like what I post...to bad..get over it or simply don't read it. E3 2K6 will have PS3 games..blah blah blah...by that time..PS3 should be out already as E3 is around the END of Spring. There should be much more PS3 info available before then if Sony plans to make that spring 06 launch window. I can tell you a few things that are gonna happen at E3 2K6..1.) booth babes will be wearing more...already effecting whether or not I want to go. 2.) They'll announce some new Socom game (still don't care). 3.) They'll show more killzone not a fan..so really not interested. I hope your not talkin about that teaser they showed at E3 last year for DMC4 where you see a castle and Dante standing in front it...he points his gun at the camera then shoots and it says DMC. I stayed at Capcom's booth for 15 minutes to see that DMC4 footage and I was utterly pissed because there was no footage...just him standing there. I'm interested in seeing what developers have to offer for PS3 and X360 this year at E3...as long as Ninja Gaiden 2, Jade Empire 2, Devil May Cry 4, Virtua Fighter 5( and maybe Tekken 6...maybe), DOA Code: Cronos, Z.O.E (I know that won't happen but one can dream)..and any other surprises that intrigue me then I'll be happy with the show. Last year E3 was X360 and Booth Babes (R.I.P. skimpy outfits..sniff sniff) this year is X360, PS3 and hopefully Revolution as well. I can't wait to see what games are coming out for these next-gen consoles!!!!!

First and foremost (what should be first stated by all Sony fans)Congratulations to SCE and their acquisition of "Zipper Interactive" I feel that this is another useful weapon to add to the arsenal of our(Sony Fans) beloved company. In regards to PS3 upcoming titles; I am not really that excited about them. This feeling of mine is supported largely in the factor that I have yet to see ACTUAL GAMEPLAY of any of these titles. And when I say "ACTUAL GAMEPLAY" I mean an average gamer such as any one of us...standing at a PS3 kiosk within an entertainment/electronics expo/store of some sort ACTUALLY PLAYING ONE OF THE UPCOMING GAMES/DEMO. I am however anxious to see/hear ANYYYYYYYYY form of News/Video about the next ACE COMBAT installment for the PS3...GTA 4 (what other "hood" game you know allows you to fly a FIGHTER JET other than San Andreas? That game was HOT. And regardless of what the HATERS want to say..GTA: SAN ANDREAS CONTINUOSLY HOLDS RANK WITHIN THE GAMESPOT.COM OVERALL MOST POPULAR TOP 10 currently at #2 with a solid "9.6" and did I mention it was a PS2 EXCLUSIVE? WE HAD IT FIRST XBOX fans! and we always will with any GTA game.) GOD OF WAR was so dam fun that I DONT EVEN WANT THEM TO MAKE A PART TWO! Cuz I will be more than just upset if they FUK it up on the second installment. There is nothing more worse than when a game gets the status quote of.."Part One Was Hot...but Part Two Was Wack, They Messed It Up." I feel that if you cant make your second installment a good or greater improvement over your first...then DO NOT MAKE A SECOND INSTALLMENT AT ALL!!! A games score on video game sites should INCREASE NOT DECREASE. GOD OF WAR needs to just settle in the history books as a truly single CLASSIC. And to the haters, please do not start talking about GOW being a rip off of other games. Because EVERY GAME THAT IS MADE PAVES THE WAY FOR FUTURE GAMES IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, JUST LIKE PEOPLE AND LIFE. So for those ready to jump down my throat with that negative talk about the creation/foundational elements of GOW; just sit back and breathe...Thanks for reading yall.

"MGS4 MEETS IT'S MAKER"

LOL, Splinter Cell has always tried to be MGS, MGS invented the genre and the series has a much better storyline. I dont know if you know, but the MGS developers have all gone through military training for MGS4, not just sat down and read a Tom Clansey book. I cant see double agent being any good considering the rest of the series was boreing, Hitman is a better game than Splinter Cell.

I have the first two splinter cell games on PS2 and I enjoyed them both, but I don't know if I'd say they're better than MGS. I think it's also that I find Tom Clancy to be a bit of a wiener doesn't help.

67 - look u splinter sell fanboys zzzzzzzz
Unregistered - Anti-SplinterCell 01.29.2006 10:42
yeah this game is boaring as hell ... It lacks the story-line gameplay aspects
and this game should never be compared to MGS coz really its like comparing DOOM1(SC) to DOOM3(MGS)...so yreah stfu 360 fanboys and stop bragging about a game that isnt even exclusive to ur xflop...

Unregistered - Akakage 01.29.2006 12:19
I think it is erroroneous to say that splinter cell is like doom 1 and MGS is like Doom 3. Splinter Cell has better graphics than MGS while MGS has better gameplay(in my opinion). Both games are fantastic and have great stories and each one of them have pretty realistic animations and hi-tech weaponary. I like MGS a lil more because I think its gameplay is more fun...but to be fair to splinter cell I really haven't played enought of it to judge it fairly. A much better comparison in my view would be Halo vs. Killzone. Halo is more fun than Killzone just like MGS is more fun than Splinter Cell(although Halo is better than Killzone in all aspects graphics, gameplay and weaponary). But too call SPlinter Cell Doom 1 and MGS DOOM 3..especially since Splinter Cell has better graphics is really..is just ridiculous. A better comparison is Halo vs Killzone.

In case you hadn't noticed, the title of this thread is: "Sony Acquires SOCOM Developer Zipper Interactive" and has nothing to do with the CR@P you keep spewing. Why don't you join a Nazi forum (if such a place exists) no one want to hear your abusive language, this is a gaming site and has nothing to do with, WAR or RACISM, so do us all a favour and let us talk about games, not f****** this and f****** that... jeez look at you, look at your posts, you look like a right moron.

"american and british did nothing" I think you got that wrong:

"'Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, the whole world, including the Unites States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age, made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say, "This was their finest hour."'

101 - A real conversion from a blind SONY fanboy to MS one
DaReaIXbugTerminator 02.01.2006 07:40
I know I've said a million and one times the PS3 is superior to the XBOX360, but recently I've done some studying on the 2 systems and it seems that the 360 is better than the PS3. Besides being technically superior in almost every way the 360 also has a far larger customer base than does the PS3 where it comes to LIVE and online play, and only a moron would argue that. Also, if you really take a good look at PS3 games and Xbox360 games, you'll see that the 360 is really nexgen compared to the PS3's boring titles, but instead every body should stop calling the 360 an Xbox 1.5 of sorts. As of this weekend I have preordered the 360 cause I am really sick of the crappy PC and PS2 graphics. And am patiently waiting for PS3 to flop. I'm strongly advising you, the PS3 is not really what you think it will be.

A good advice from a converted Sony fanboy to M$ lover and fanboy:
-Sony fanboys u should follow my step in being more open-minded coz I discovered that PS3 is overhyped and wont achieve the hype for the following reasons:

1-we Sony fanboys just will wait till the finally release real info about the ps3
and we're gonna be sooo fcuked off.

2-no hard drive (what's all that about???)

3-deep down you know the games won't look like those well executed cinematics from killzone and metal gear.

4-the cell will seriously underperforms(I remember when we were getting all excited about the frikkin Emotion Engine...! didn't Sony say that was gonna revolutionize the way we play games . And be the death knell for pc games? Oh how we(yes and I)Salivated about the E, E. and what was the end result ... nada, sh1t, diddely squat).

5-X360 is roughly 2x more powerful than PS3,its graphics chip is based on the R600 which isn't even out yet, its also got 3 cores as opposed to 1 on the PS3, 3= better than 1 right? I was dumb ass PS3 fan, I know 360 is going to win this next gen, so I made up stuff to make it sound better, I was a looser.

6-Bill Gates is much richer than Sony, and I discovered that he really cares a lot for us gamers as he
announced an optional HD-DVD drive that would be so damn great(I love you so much Mr. Bill Gates).

7-Halo 3, Yup this game would be the best thing on earth, and KillZone really sux balls.

8-I don't understand why so many people anticipate the ps3 to that degree. When Sony hasn't given any concrete ingame play demonstrations. Killzone and MGS4 is a hurdle Sony has made for themselves to try to meet by that time. I don't know when killzone is planned but if it is at ps3 launch than they won't meet that standard. They'll be slightly under and you'll say well its close enough. MGS4 is what 2009 or something.You've got to be kidding me when you say that those graphics are what to expect. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT... ALL WE HAVE IS SONY'S HYPE.

9-ATI rep. said that PS3 isn't refined.

10-XBOX360 got the LIVE service while I'm sick of Sony's fake online plans.

11-Blu-Ray costs alot,and Sony already losing exclusives to the 360 (Resident Evil 5, Final Fantasy, The Getaway, Soul Calibur, MK, VF5, GTA, Condemned, Dead or Alive was originally on the Sony platforms, and much much more).

12-Kojima confessed that the 360 is capable of doing much better stuff in MGS4 than the PS3 (we all Sony fanboys respect what this developer says and believe him).

13-All respected developers says that 360 is easier as hell to develop for than the PS3 which means most exclusives would be done on my new beloved console the 360, also notice that multiplatform games would be first developed for the 360 then ported to the PS3,, which means the same game would be more expensive on PS3.

Man I really can't believe how fool I really was being a Sony fanboy, this company do nothings more than lying on us, so I am sick and tired of them damn them, I don't want to wait for like 2 more years for an over-hyped console.. SO M$ U GOT A NEW FRESH FANBOY OF YOUR PRODUCTS ESPECIALLY THAT HOT 360...

YUP CAN'T WAIT!!! And PS3 fanboys just do what I have already done.

Unregistered - Dude_ 02.01.2006 13:31
Well i have to say,
i am no fan of any consoles ´cause what i like is to play GREAT games and i don´t look for wich console is.

Saying that X360 is the fps console and PS3 the all-games is bull-shhhh.Both consoles have great games.period.

I have an X360 because i know there will be great games.And there is already great games.

And i will buy a PS3 for the same reasons.

being a fan of a console is ignorance.Enjoy all the great games they will bring.

I really laughed a lot when i heard fan-boys saying they´ve enjoyed killzone most than halo.

All Because of this fan wanna-be.

But there are things you said it´s not true.

1-Nobody knows wich console is stronger and how much it is stronger.PS3 hasn´t been released yet.(But personnaly, i think PS3 will be stronger because in hardware, how longer you research,better it will be.

2-Halo 3,possibly will be a great game.IT´S BUNGIE.They don´t care about deadlines."The game will be ready when we think it´s ready".Software houses who think like that have the best games ever made.

3-Killzone was supposed to be a halo-killer.It wasn´t because of the PS2´s hardware limitation.They had great ideas for the game but they just couldn´t do it. With PS3´hardware, don´t expect to see a killzone 1.5. It will probalby be a real next-gen Killzone in a next-gen console game.why?because Sony has a reputation to maintain.Or they are focked.

4-Killzone´s last year E3 video wasn´t real-time footage.It was confirmed.It´s a sample for what they expect to do in PS3.

5-But remember,In E3´s 1999,all those extremely GREAT games footage for PS2 and Sony stated it was real PS2´s in-game footage.We are now in 2006.And all of it wasn´t made.Not even a 1/5. Wich it got me really disappointed.

6-ATI can say what they want.It´s a free world.But We don´t know yet.PS3 hasn´t been released.

7-Blu-ray probably will be the future.Because most companies supports blu ray.Only a few support HD-DVD.

8-Yes,in overall, what was announced until now in both consoles, X360 holds more exclusives than PS3.

9-Condemned was canceled for PS3. The getaway is a exclusive for PS3.An X360 version won´t exist.

10-Resident Evil 5, Final Fantasy,Soul Calibur, MK, VF5, GTA will be launched in both consoles.(And in my opinion, will be in those games where we can compare the power of X360 and PS3.)Wich console will have a better version of a same game?

11-All Questions will be answered when PS3 is released.

I hope all ppl stop with this fan wanna-be.

Open your minds.PLay the great games.

To all of you people who argue over the xbox 360 and PS3 heres what I have to say.

screw it. Theyre both going to be awesome and basically have the same games.

So Im buying both.



105 - Doesn't Make Sense #104
Unregistered - Dragonopolis 02.05.2006 00:14
You make no sense. If they were as qouted "Theyre both going to be awesome and basically have the same games" Why would you need two expensive sytems that were both identical. You only need one awesome system and it should be the system with the games you like. The only reason to by a second nearly identical system if it has enough exclusive content (that's great and doesn't suck). Then it's justified and the Xbox360 in my opinion doesn't have enough great exclusives. Even if the PS3 equals the xbox360 in performance (not going to happen PS3 will be better -- but trying to be fair) It will be the better value because of the blu-ray HD technology which will happen. Xbox360/MS will have to sell an add-on device (not a smart buy and probably can get a seperate player/recorder for similar price with more features). But hey, if you wanna blow $400 on an 360 and another $400 to $500 on a PS3 for a total of $800 to $900 dollars just to play a couple of exclusive games(not counting the cost of games in this example) is your prerogative -- STUPID -- but your preogative.
That's why I've put Nintendo in second above the 360 and dropping the 360 to the Third slot. It's got more "great" exclusive content and a uniqueness to it, such as the controller, and will be "alot" less expensive. Oh, and one more thing, if the Midway announcement about their games using the unreal 3 engine on all platforms (yes they mentioned Revolution as well) is true, then xbox360 fans can start digging their graves.
