Socom Confrontation Q&A - Part 2

June 22, 2008 · Filed Under Gaming, PS3, PlayStation, Socom · Comment 

Over on the PlayStation EU community forum there is now the second post of the Confrontation Q&A from Socom developer ‘Shijima’

Hi again everyone! :)

Here are answers to a few more European-specific questions that you have been asking about “SOCOM: Confrontation”:

Will there be a headset bundle available, as with previous SOCOMs?

This is something decided by SCEE’s Marketing groups and will be publicly announced when a final decision has been made, probably in the near future.

What language do the Mercenaries speak?

As the game is set in North Africa, the Mercenaries speak Arabic. However, for ease of understanding the Merc Announcer will speak in your chosen game language, albeit with an Arabic accent (except in France for cultural reasons).

Will the in-game ladders have referees and/or moderators, to keep things fair?

In Europe, the plan is to support ranked ladders and tournaments with a dedicated team of in-game moderators.

Will you be able to select a lobby by region/language?

All lobbies supported by the game are visible in every region, allowing for global play. The plan is to include all traditional SOCOM lobbies, including those for different countries/languages. There will also be a filter option to only display the lobbies in specific regions as the number of lobbies worldwide is very large.

How will the Australia/New Zealand region be supported? Will servers be region based?

Each major region is supported by its own servers located in that region, allowing for low-latency gameplay in those areas. The regions are North America, Europe, Aus/NZ, Korea/Asia and Japan.

I realise that these may not answer the really BIG questions you all have, but please keep an eye on the SOCOM.com Q&As by Seth Luisi and Allen Goode for more information on general game features…

Shijima.

I’ll review the most popular suggestions and we’ll take it from there… ;)
