Sony donne enfin une date pour le dernier rejeton de la famille Socom, répondant au doux nom de Confrontation ; et on espère qu'il saura faire honneur à ses ancêtres. La sortie annoncée est pour le 16 septembre sur le territoire américain, l'Europe ne devrait pas être très longue à suivre mais aucune date officielle pour l'instant.
 
Sony profite de l'annonce pour lancer le site officiel du jeu, rien de nouveau à découvrir mais il faudra garder un oeil de ce côté-là pour espérer en apprendre davantage durant les longs mois d'attente.
 
Il ne reste plus qu'à attendre donc, sachant que le jeu débarquera au milieu de titres comme Killzone 2 et Resistance 2.
 
Rendez-vous en septembre pour l'ouverture des hostilités via téléchargement directement sur la Playstation Network ou en boutique en format Blu-Ray.

You can no longer set up a match exactly defined to your teams exact strengths and create a honeypot to raise your clan ranking.  
For you clan to have a global ranking you now have to be a rounded team with good strategies for dealing with all the maps.
 Now , you can build all the custom games you want - the room system is still there, which i know is really important to socom fans.  
you can do all your clan tryouts and training in those rooms.
 and even playing within those games aggregates different stats, because we track a lot of information about the player, but it doesn’t directly go into the global clan ladder” (NO RANK UP)
 
* Crossroads (ps3) has an extra outer ring that the ps2 didn’t have. There are two towers now.
 
* Confrontation is 32 players but you can make smaller maps for 16 players total.
 
* Tilt with the sixaxis can be tweaked for sensitivity
 
* There will be 7 maps total at launch. All maps will be based in North Africa  
 
* There are exploding barrels and cars.
 
* There is an underground map that has a collapse part triggered by the enemy
 
* View distance is big, so no more fog like SOCOM 2
 
* Clan support will be available on socom.com where the leader can change their clan, add players etc.
* Audio has changed. Sounds around a corner sound muffled.
* Oh! there is now a run/sprint mode. You can run/sprint but you cant shoot and your gun will not be accurate after running. So basically just use this too avoid snipers. YES !!!!!!!
 
* Ranked matches are automated, if you wanna set up your own room with specifics (no grenades, etc) it wont be ranked. This stops cheaters and rank ups.
 
* Your clan can talk via open chat, but you can L2 to chat to everyone on your team. Or if you have proximity chat then you chat with who ever is around you.They are planning on having a new headset for socom. The printing of EGM sucks so screenshots dont look sharp or nice colors. I would wait for screenshots on your computer to judge.
o They are bringing back a new game mode. “elimination ” its like socom 2. kill the whole other team or take a draw.
