The creative director of the original SOCOM games wants to bring you the spiritual successor to those breakout PlayStation 2 shooters.
"H-Hour: World’s Elite is a tactical, team-based, military shooter. Our first release is a core multiplayer experience on PC & PS4 that includes no less than six maps, four new gameplay modes, and our comprehensive community-building/clan management tools.
Like many fans of the early SOCOMs, you may be among the legions asking for an HD version of SOCOM II. This isn’t that. We’re not here to simply deliver the past in a prettier package. We’re building the spiritual successor to the early SOCOM games from the ground up. H-Hour: World’s Elite is immediate, realistic, multiplayer-oriented and team-based. It is an experience directly inspired by the SOCOM series because those games were the starting point. H-Hour is several miles down the road that we traveled with SOCOM, the kind of shooter that SOCOM would have become if I had continued to helm the series beyond the second release."
Coming to pc and ps4 it looks like. They're in the low level kickstarter phase now. At least they met their first milestone.
Nice find Biz. I actually have been keeping an eye on this. They reached their goal! I know I rallied behind the games on the PS3 and they failed. That is the reason I actually bought a PS3,Socom Confrontation. David Sears was the man of the first 2 games which were my first intro to online gaming. Going to the H-Hour website really shows promise. Sony,Zipper,Seth Luisi made promises they couldn't keep and Sears seems genuine. It was great to see the community that I first gamed with get the word out and make the $200,000 goal a reality. I know it is awhile away,but I have to say I'm excited. I won't jump head first into anything this time. Two failed attempts makes you gun shy if you know what I mean. I only hope they can make the magic happen this time so more of you can play a great Socom game.
