tis news to me, surely a game with 100 issues should never have been released in the first place!?

it is news, because the patch fixed shit loads of issues and brought the game to a releasable quality

So SCEE are better at quality control than SCEA?

Stands to reason.

Have the load times been fixed yet? If that's done then I'm a launch day downloader ;)

I only say it's not news because of the site name (Euro), but I suppose in this wonderful era of a WORLD wide web I'm wrong on this on one ;) I conceed that this is news.

Still, nice to have the US test it for us. Most beta tests are free, but if SCEA get away with charging for it, good for them.

Beano is right, the US gamers are beta testing this

Once it comes out in europe it should be of an acceptable standard

I am a massive fan of the socom gameplay, so I could ignore many of the annoyances and bugs, I still enjoying playing the game (I have the US one)

If I was to look at the game from an unbiased outsiders perspective, its unacceptably shit.

I'd never played a SOCOM game at all before the beta of this, and I can't say I was remotely impressed. Didn't feel like I couldn't get the same experience from other games like GRAW, Rainbow Six, CoD4 etc

Though with a good team and some time I suppose it could grow on me, but I can't see me making the effort if the developers apparently aren't.

socom confron is a broken game.
no expectations from Euro release AT ALL !
has nothing to do with beta or fixing issues.
On it's basis it's broken. It's a f*****Up game.
It's gonna get released and score average 6

shame on SCEE

Since Sony didn't bother updating the graphics for this, why not buy a PS2 and a copy of the older game for the same experience, only sooner!

Even if they fix the numerous issues before Euro release,the game itself is average at best.Bad graphics and laughable tactical pretensions.Unless someone tell me that you can raise the bullet damage and turn health regeneration off.

graphics are a bit bland, but the gameplay is spot on

there is no regen on health, so i dont know what you're on about
