New Interview with World's Factory 7/2/13
Game Information added at bottom of this post 6/25/13
Scroll down for new pics added 6/24/13
H-Hour: World's Elite
1. What it is: H-HOUR: WORLD'S ELITE is a true SOCOM 1-3 successor. Fans called for a SOCOM 1 or 2 HD for years, and the
creative mind behind the original SOCOM series has come back to the helm to make this game.
2. What will World's Elite be released on? World's Elite will be released on the PC and the PS4 if 500 PLAYSTAION WARRIOR
pledges are made (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1687497632/h-hour-worlds-elite-0/posts/511201) pledges are made.
Currently 335/500 PLAYSTATION WARRIOR pledges have been made to ensure it's arrival on the PS4.
3. Reason to be excited? David Sears the matermind behind the SOCOM franchise and Zipper Interactive has returned to claim his throne. SOCOM 1-3 were made with David at the helm of creative production. Sears left Zipper for unknown reasons, and in this podcast ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1687497632/h-hour-worlds-elite-0/posts/505044) he claims it was the wrong thing to do and he missed SOCOM and what had been done since he has been gone. Seth Luisi took over when Sears left, and most SOCOM fans would strongly agree the series immediatly took a STRONG turn for the worse which eventually doomed Zipper. (R.I.P. Zipper).
4. Why we should care: SOCOM put SONY on the online gaming map and carved a path of legend that solidified SOCOM in SONY fans hearts. Fans have been asking for this for a LONG time.
5. Who is Russ Philips? Russ Philips was an original SOCOM art director and map making legend. He has returned for this project and made some of the ALL TIME fan favorite SOCOM maps on the PS2 including Sandstorm, Fish Hook, Night Stalker, and Desert Glory!
We have only been waiting for this since SOCOM II on the PS2...
