If you caught GameTrailers TV last night then congratulations! You had an exclusive first look at two previously-unannounced goodies from SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs – both of which we’re going into detail about right now.
The first new element ties directly into gameplay and it’s one that we’re really thrilled about. In select missions during the solo campaign, players take control of female South Korean 707th covert operations expert “45.” Acting as the team’s primary form of reconnaissance, 45 slinks into various locales under the cover of night to capture valuable intel and sabotage enemy operations. Armed with silenced weapons and a handy stealth meter that lets players know how visible they are to hostile forces, 45 is a sneaky badass that adds a lot to the already-intense SOCOM 4 experience. We really think you’re going to enjoy playing her missions and we’re glad to finally let that secret out of the bag.
Part two of our double announcement is just as exciting! In addition to the standard version of SOCOM 4 that you’ll find in stores across America on April 19, there will also be a special limited run SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs Full Deployment Edition. Priced at $149.99, the SOCOM 4 Full Deployment Edition is packed with all kinds of awesome. What kind of awesome are we talking about? Check it:
- SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs video game on Blu-ray disc
- PlayStation Move Motion Controller
- PlayStation Move Navigation Controller
- PlayStation Move sharp shooter
- PlayStation Eye Camera
At the heart of this limited edition bundle is the PlayStation Move sharp shooter, giving you pinpoint precision and a streamlined and authentic design. On top of all that, you also get easily accessible buttons, responsive digital trigger, realistic pump-action, a firing mode selector, adjustable shoulder stock and convenient access to the navigation controller. Sold separately, the contents of the SOCOM 4 Full Deployment Edition are valued at nearly $220, making its $149.99 price tag a savings of more than 30%!
Regardless of which version of SOCOM 4 you purchase, you can still pre-order it at participating retailers to receive two unique slug-powered shotguns (one each for both the Spec Ops and Insurgent teams). Of course, folks who pre-order SOCOM 4 at GameStop get the shotgun plus the exclusive Suppression map, “Abandoned,” inspired by the classic map of the same name from SOCOM 1 and II.
The SOCOM 4 information train isn’t done yet! We’ll be back again next week with a ton of new details including the dates in which our multiplayer beta kicks off and a few other pleasant surprises to boot.
See you then!
First
That is an awesome deal!
great!
Pretty good deal. You guys should of did this with Killzone 3 as well.
Might be my entry into finally getting a Move. That’s a great deal.
3th! waoo! looks great that box! it would looks better with kilzone 3!
how did i know a socom special edition was going ot be anounced. haha…
not what i excpetd to be included, but i may get it… and sell the move stuff since i already have it. but i was going to get the sharpshooter
yeah, you can’t complain aboutt this offer, that’s a great deal
I’m owning that Deployment Edition! Its dipped in AwesomeSauce!
Man, the PS Blog is on a roll today!
Awesome overload. I need to change my pants now with all the awesome sauce I just spewed out. Keep it coming PlayStation.
Wow, Sony’s still not getting the credit for the many Triple A titles that have. if you dont have a ps3 your not experience this generation of gaming. They are unloading the monster.
i already have all those so i just have to preorder the game :), but still thanks Sony
the same bundle should be available with killzone 3….
THAT is one mighty fine bundle you have there.
Already have all those toys, but great for those still lookin.
Man, the blog is in Overdrive today.
Awesome deal, too bad I bought everything (Move and nav controllers and the sharpshooter and KZ3 for the beta code and I am NOT a fan of the KZ series at all, ask Anyone) YESTERDAY. My beta code is not complete. 6 letter/number combo out of 9. I paid a grand total of $225.00 taxes in for all that stuff. code please?
I have Killzone 3 Helghast Edition, Sharp Soother, Playstation Move Montion Controller, Playstation Move Navigation Controller and the Playstation Eye Camera
I’m only going to pre-order the Socom 4 game ^_^
but that bundle is good for anyone who does not have it and saved over $70 dollars
Hot Damn! A bundle worth gettin.
Now that’s how you bundle.
Nothing like catering to the casual tards…
Sony/Zipper….explain how come we have MOVE support yet we don’t have classic control schemes from all the past Socom games? Precision, Sharpshooter, Sure Shot…..
I love how you keep making games to sell accessories that rarely get used. I remember when accessories were must haves like the Network Adapater for PS2 that Socom helped sell a million plus units…..the headsets they’ve also sold….
MOVE is junk, I owned it, I sold it.
SONY you keep saying “Hardcore” but all I see is “Softcore” casual crap. I’ll buy Socom 4 but at least give us some real Socom features like Pistols, Demolition, Extraction, Breach, LEAN…..thanks again for ruining a perfectly good franchise as if 1 million units weren’t enough…..thanks for adding XP too we really needed that.
Wish the bundle also came with a SOCOM collectable… I will most likely get this bundle because I don’t have the Move, but some kind of SOCOM action figure or something would be cool to have since I’ve been a fan from the start of the series.
Great bundle but kinda makes me regret being an early adopter. Would have much preferred a Navigation + Sharp Shooter + KZ3/Socom bundle announced before KZ3 released.
Still great bundle. For those wondering about the Sharp Shooter, I’d really say it’s worth the price. So immersive and once you get the settings dialed in where you want them, you can be effective with it. Great peripheral.
Will there be a “normal” special edition? I already have a Sharpshooter…Is there something unique early adopters can look forward to?
@12, the reason sony is not getting credit for its great in house exclusives is terrible advertising/marketing. In the US in particular many of the Ps3 games are not even known by many. Add to this a need for a cheaper PS3 model in the US in particular.
Ps3’s issue has always been two fold, Price, sony lacklustre marketing.
@C-DaBurna-B why there are always people like you who always come to write stupid things like your comment if you do not like the Playstation Move Do not talk bad things about the Playstation Move.
and the Playstation move is also for Hardcore
I got to tell, playing killzone 3 with Move is amazing. I will play socom 4 with Move and that rifle for sure. I hope that resistanse 3 comes with Move support too.
Socom II HD ftw.
@19, basically you suck so you don’t like it then? No offence, move is HARDER then a controller and much more immersive, especially with the sharp shooter. How does it being harder make it more casual?
Once you adjust, it works great, close minded peeps just dont like anything different.
Playing KZ3 with move/sharpshooter is more hardcore then the usual Ds3 controller.
I hope Resistance 3 and Uncharted 3 come with Playstation Move and Sharp shooter support too.
ORDERED! Thanks Sony!
How much is that gun? That (besides the game) is all I don’t have.
39.99
@mastorofpuppetz that is true i have Killzone 3,Move and Sharp Shooter and i love playing Killzone 3 with Sharp Shooter
That is a great deal!
Great deal!
Thats pretty cool but kinda sucks that Sony decided to do this with SOCOM and not with Killzone; I would have loved to have this same bundle but with Killzone 3. Oh well…
Thats a steal!
I gotta say i am super tempted… wife wants the wii for the new Michael jackson game too. I want it for extraction.
My only holdback is that i got burnt so bad on the last socom…
Wow I wish you would have announced this a couple weeks ago.
not wii, i mean move… dammit!
I have all that except Socom 4, I wish they make a Socom 4 Collectors Edition
Move implementation in Killzone was great. I really hope Socom is just as good.
Looking forward to the demo :)
It will be very good! What’s cool about the sharp shooter setup in S4 is that it has its own control scheme separate from the DualShock3 and PlayStation Move scheme; so if you’re using the attachment, it’s not just acting as a “holder” for your motion controller. We’ve optimized the layout and behavior of the controls specifically for the sharp shooter when you use it.
