Sony has announced thatSOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3won’t be making its previously announced January 12 release. Sony hasn’t yet announced the updated release date for the PlayStation Portable third-person shooter, but promises “a new release date in the coming weeks.”
Admittedly, I’m not a hugeSOCOMfan. I remember purchasing the series’ debut back when it was launched, only to get the PlayStation 2 headset. I spent a few hours getting shot down (and hard) online before deciding that a better use for the headset would be to communicate with my buddies about which loot I needed forChampions of Norrath.
But having gotten my hands onFireteam Bravo 3a few weeks ago, I was a bit surprised. I wasn’t assaulted with having to spend too much time commanding my two A.I teammates, instead focusing on what I do best — shoot at things without thinking very hard. The focus of the game seems based purely in action, and the mechanics on the PSP felt pretty good, with an auto-aim and assist that had me taking out terrorists like it was myjob.
But it’s not my job. My job is to find out whenFireteam Bravo 3will hit shelves, and as soon as I find out, I’ll let you know.
