News of yet another
SOCOM delay should be unsurprising to those who have been following the franchise since Slant Six took the reigns from Zipper Interactive. Fans have only recently received the long-awaited
SOCOM Confrontation 1.60 patch, one that fixed crucial game-crashing bugs; after months of suffering through bugs and game balance issues, Joystiq commenter
Solace went so far as to call
Confrontation a "glorified beta."
For reasons not yet revealed by SCEA, the upcoming PSP installment,
Fireteam Bravo 3, has been pushed back from its already-delayed January 12 release date. Considering Sony's
admitted failure at marketing the upcoming tactical shooter, a later date will certainly give the publisher more time to prepare the title for retail. A new release date will be announced "in the coming weeks," according to an SCEA rep, but we wonder if
SOCOM fans will have any patience left when that day comes.
SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 delayed one more time originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:45:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
