Thank-you for responding, makes a change.

Personal question;
Would you like to see a SOCOM II remake for the PS3?
Is Zipper/Sony even CONSIDERING it in the future?

Almost 100% certain I won't see a response to those questions.

Personally speaking, ie, not representing the company in an official manner whatsoever -- yes, I think it would be cool to do an HD revamp, but not necessarily SOCOM II. The way I'd want to see it would be sort of an "SOCOM Legacy" deal, where we'd drop SP altogether, take all the greatest maps from S1 through SC and update them, while taking the S1/S2 HUD/ gameplay as the base and go from there.

But again, that's just me. There are a ton of other factors involved in a game like that, or even a straight remake happening, though. Will SOCOM 4 be successful, for instance? If it does really well, then the demand for SOCOM is high and the chances of more SOCOM sequels and spin-offs increase. You also have the business side of things independant of that -- how many copies would it sell? How much would cost to develop? How long would it take? By the time you were finished, would the demand still be there, or would the market be tired out on old-school remakes by then? Would it take away from future projects that aren't remakes, etc, etc.

As a business, Sony/ Zipper considers a lot of things, but the questions I listed above are just a handful of the "what if" questions that surround the creation of any game or genre.

Again, this all my personal view. Officially we have no plans to do a SOCOM remake of any kind right now. At the moment, we're all about SOCOM 4.

Id pay 100 bucks for that..

If you build it (SOCOM II HD) they will come (US DIEHARD FANS)
I hope they take their heads out of their asses

(DONT GET ME WRONG) its a ok game which i plan
on playing but its not truly socom (EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS)
socom.Come on zipper and listen to your Socom Veterans

I'd pay $200, oaul you would pay that too. We'd pay any price for TRUE SOCOM LEGACY with SUjo, Sandstorm, & Enowapi!!!!! FTW OMG I'm FREAKING OUT MAN!!!

Yeah..... Id pay $200 for it.. I did pay 600 for a ps3 because of the promise of a future socom.
