Resistance 3 beta bundled with SOCOM 4

@IRoxxorUrSoxxor How so? It actually seemed pretty coherent to me, misspellings aside. I don't think that my comment was the smartest thing ever, but if your going to call it stupid...well, you should give your reasons for clarities sake. And also, apparently buffoon is a grave insult as Gamespot moderated me for it. A hard one to handle, I know, but sometimes people just gotta use those horrible words. If you've been called one, and are reeling from the grave impact of being called one...I understand your pain, I just got called stupid.

@Skirikidik You misspell buffoon not two words into your post, and it only gets stupider from there.

@Fayt1986 The beta is free you buy a game that has early access to the beta included at no extra charge (if you live in the USA which I don't Grr). It will still be available on PS+ and then PSN in the last week or so.

betas should be free.....

i cant wait for duke nukem and buying borderlands means early demo and i still wouldnt buy it..... so this has no chance at all.

Socom 2 was one of the greatest, if not the greatest online shooter I have ever played. It was incredibly fun having to work together and be tactical. Socom 3 ruined everything that was fun about the original, and just made it terrible. Sadly from what I played of the Socom 4 beta, it is a giant leap back into the right direction, but still does not quite have that awesome feel of Socom 2. I think that may be level designs though, because Socom 2 had so many memorable maps, and Socom 4 so far doesn't.

Pass Both games suck

This must mean Socom is going to suck once again *sigh*

still not buying it. last one was MAG bad. ill wait for res 3 thank you

it's buy a game get a beta leap frog

SOCOM 4 is good, it's just that the camera, the grenade throwing mechanics and the preset control mapping that need some tweaking... I can't get used to crouching with triangle and using cover with circle, seriously just swap them...

ill just PS plus it i tink

Considering that KZ3 in the UK didn't come with a beta for Socom. And that the full deployment edition is not for sale over hear also. I doubt I will get a code with Socom "thanks Sony" way to make me feel you want my custom. Getting it anyway my only concern is the same as KZ3, not a mention of your ping online. That and I am sure that you get a ping over 100+ms when playing from the UK someone on the eastern seaboard (when the Euro servers get invaded). Why bunch us together FFS most of Europe you get between 35-50ms stupid.

I'd welcome a cute Korean chick in my fire team!

*shakes head* and Cows tell us only Microsoft and 360 games have bundled betas for cost.

whoa. the deployment edition looks like it is definitely worth it. $150 for a $60 game a ps move AND nav controller not to mention the sharp shooter accessory! thts crazy to me anyway..

It's like Gears + Bulletsorm, except worse. :D

New game comes with beta. Should instead say that you have to pay for beta access, you just get a game on the side. Average game gets bundled with beta of hyped game to try to build sales. :P

Never played resistance or socom! Still i will pick this up if it has a good campaign!!

Yeah I gets me to kill sum pirates yarrrrhhh

lol just buy ps plus and get in a week later ;)

never played a SOCOM game before, this actually looks pretty interesting... Im a big fan of third person shooters, way too many FPS these days they all kinda blur into the same thing eventually for me

when R3 actually comes out i bet it'll be bundled with a beta for some game

The R3 Beta will probably be free for PS+ subscribers so this doesn't tempt me

I really do hate these beta game bundle marketing tactics ):

Love Socom but not a big fan of resistance.

this is nice!

I can't wait until it gets release been in the beta since it was release for ps+ user and I have a blast play it been I huge socom fan since day1 also I can't wait to try resistance 3

Definitely picking this up, could care less about Resistance 3 at this point. First and second game both were not that great.

@Japanese_Jade a lot of console gamers aren't tied to one specific type of game. Shooters in general area liked across the board by fans of shooters. Sony figures, and rightly so, that gamers who like Socom and other shooters will likely be interested in resistance 3. They bank on some people wanting an early in on Resistance 3 to sell at least a few copies of Socom 4 and also bolster interest in R3s eventual release... seems obvious why they did it to me : \

I'll pass. I didn't like the beta for SOCOM, and I'll probably get the R3 beta with PS+.

@Japanese_Jade I would believe they would do this to probably get more people interested in the game by bringing new product to players who don't games like resistance or haven't gotten too. It's a strategic move i would guess.

Socom and Resistance are two completely different games. Whose stupid idea was to bundle them together like this?!

I don't know , I myself like 3rd person shooters. I like seeing myself running, ducking for cover, peeping out to shoot. The one thing I don't understand is when you start in a multiplayer game instead of playing as a team everyone just runs off and gos there own way. Wouldnt it be alot more fun playing together watching each others back doing the mission together or is it just me

I expect inFamous 2 to be bundled with an Uncharted 3 beta that'll start in the summer. inFamous had Uncharted 2 beta that started in June. Qore subcribers also got in so if it is the same it'll be for Playstation Plus and inFamous 2. But if you're not in those two groups then you can still get in with an open beta just before release. They did it for Uncharted 2, Killzone 3, SOCOM 4 so I expect it for Resistance 3 and Uncharted 3. This is all just my speculation though. :)

I had a socom beta key for buying kz3 that I didnt use.. I might download it right now but im not much of a socom guy but i do like resistance :P

guess they knew its a terrible game so they bundled it with a great game -.- hate when that happens...

COD FTW!!!

Why is there always a potentially great beta bundled with a crappy game nowadays? Tried the Socom 4 beta, gotta say it was terrible.

socom 4 beta was atrocious.

socom needs all the help it can get thats for sure. ill still buyit day one in hopes that it will grow on me one day

so let me get this straight: Resistance 3 Beta is in SOCOM 4, while SOCOM 4 was in Killzone 3 Beta? Next thing you know Resistance 3 will have the Uncharted 3 Beta and so on..

Don't care, I'm still not getting Socom 4. Hopefully we'll get a demo on PSN after the beta is over. ********************************************************* @DanielL5583 Expect to find all those SOCOM games sold and returned as preowned stock without the beta code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ That's what everyone did with the one with the bluetooth headset. There were tons of Socom being sold on Ebay without the headset. lol!!

Finally back to a single player Socom. I did not like that multiplayer only Socom from last year.

it's like a mini third-person version of mag kinda. I don't get how when you aim down you can also be in first-person

I hope gamespot will have beta codes for Resistance 3.
