What's the biggest online game on the PS3? No, it's not
Killzone 2. No, it's not even
Resistance 2. According to SCEA senior producer Mark Rogers,
SOCOM Confrontationstands above both of Sony's high-profile first-party FPS offerings by
having the most simultaneous online connections on the PlayStation
Network. He attributes
Confrontation's success to the
community's commitment to the franchise. Whereas other gamers may play
an online game for a few weeks and move on,
SOCOM fans have proven to be far more dedicated (despite the game's ...
troubled launch).
The devotion of the
SOCOM community will be rewarded by an upcoming patch,
Rogers promises. While the Slant Six team has been largely quiet about
progress on the patch, he says the massive scale and scope of the patch
has led to an extended testing cycle. With the promise of DLC in the future, it's clear that
SOCOM addicts will find even more reason to avoid playing other games for a long time.
