I read in my recent Gamepro mag that Zipper Interactive has been holding out on us.

Apparently they're planning on pushing out Socom Us Navy Seals 4(tentative title) out by November '07.


Anyone looking forward to Ninja Gaiden Sigma? Read its basically a remake of Ninja Gaiden Black I think it was for the original XBOX

Zipper just needs to stop sucking and release Socom 1 ver.2 via the PSN store, with Online only similar to what Warhawk will be. It'll easily be one of the hottest selling games on the ps3.

All 3 do. Might be concept art, or an April Fools joke.

blister, where did Sony/Namco announce these? It's no where in the scans to which system if any they are on.

Those screens are better then Crysis so I doubt they're legit lol.

Yep, it is a further enhanced version with 3 extra levels, a new playable character and completely remastered graphics, it is supposed to be awesome.

Your PS3 has the PS2 chip in it. This person is talking about the newer PS3s that won't have the chip, and just run off of software emulation.

Yep...my friend owns a first gen PS3 but he thinks the software emulation may work out okay. I guess his explanation was the software emulation wasn't ready yet so Sony included the PS2 chip in the PS3.

By my estimates...shouldn't this lower the hardware cost of the PS3? Or is Sony going to try to make some money back by keeping the price the same?

There were rumors of a price drop sometime around july (unconfirmed)

No, I linked to the info about this pages ago if you need a source.

The chip costs about 30$ and the price of the PS3 will remain the same.

It's considered good marketing. If you are able to cut back on production costs (granted they lose $) youre supposed to pass the savings on to the consumer.

Friend linked me to the page so don't know the details. Those games for all we know might be in the middle of next year, the graphics are pretty impressive, but I think it's legit.

Not all mags are as stupid as EGM.

lol?
What game mag is better than EGM? They are the most unbiased, objective game magazine there is. I think they do a great job, and it is also why I think 1up is the best gaming news site.

I was referring to the april fools comment.

I think the April Fools thing that EGM does is funny. Because people get SO EXCITED, and then EGM goes, just fucking with you.
see: Sonic and Tails in SSBM; Mushroom Kingdom Hearts

Yeah, I saw that. Doubt the info they state is reliable since the people of QJ can't understand Japanese and those that can have stated:

There is no mention of Cellius anywhere. Why release awesome scans for 3 games and not mention it when the point of Cellius is to show off the power of the PS3.

They're from Project Arms- the same people that did Ace Combat- a development group of Namco/Bandai.

There's also a disclaimer saying the target renders are not actual in game screens and no platform has been announced.

These "leaks" were released on 2ch with no info attached to them.

The people of Neogaf broke the story much earlier, if you'd like to read their comments go.
