As some of you are aware, I might get to play SOCOM 4 later this month. This morning I sent a message to Chris Roper asking him if SOCOM 4 will be there. Here are the PMs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Chris, I work at a Best Buy in New Hampshire. Every September Best Buy sends a supervisor to what we call E.H.K which stands for Entertainment Holiday Kickoff. This event basically is a big convention showing off all the cool games coming soon, new MP3 stuff for the holidays, and new car audio stuff. Last year the event was held in Kansas City and SOCOM FTB3 was there; months before the game hit retail stores. This year the event is in Phoenix and it is being held from 9/26-9/30. I expect a lot of Move games are going to be shown. Any chance of SOCOM 4 being playable? Thanks for your time. -Matt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have no idea. I'm assuming that's more of a marketing call than PR, so it's outside of my normal communications window. I guess we'll both see. =)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted to make this thread so when the time comes I can post my hands on with the game here.
Last year I got to play a lot of cool games that were not released such as SOCOM FTB3, Modern Warfare 2, Bad Company 2, DJ Hero, Tony Hawk Ride, Halo 3 ODST (Microsoft gave every attendee a free copy of the game), Eye Pet (which is being released soon), Heavy Rain, Splinter Cell Conviction, Assassins Creed 2, God of War 3, and a bunch of Wii stuff.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am leaving for this trip tomorrow and I wanted to bump this thread to the top because I will be using my iPhone. All I am going to say is if I played it or not. I will type up a full hands-on when I get back on Thursday.

The Community guy for Black Ops is there so I'm sure you'll get your hands on Black Ops before all is said and done.

Sorry for the late response....
Just got back from the event last night and I am sad to say that SOCOM 4 was not there. Oh well. However, I did get to play a lot of cool games such as Killzone 3 in 3D, Gran Turismo 5 in 3D as well as in a racing chair, The Fight: Lights Out, Sports Champions, Singstar Move, Motorstorm Apocalypse, Call of Duty Black Ops, Medal of Honor, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, Rock band 3, Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock, Tony Hawk Shred.
And those are just the PS3 games!
As for all the others...
Wii: Goldeneye 007 Donkey Kong Country Returns Kirby's Epic yarn Wii Party
Xbox 360: Kinect -- Kinect sports, Kinect Adventures The games listed above were half PS3 half Xbox 360
Someone asked how Goldeneye was..... All I can say is OMG!!! Wicked throwback to 1997. I got to play about 10 minutes of the multiplayer and 30 minutes of the single player. All the multiplayer levels for the N64 classic are back with updated visuals and added parts. I only got to play with Oddjob and yes you can throw his hat and get an instant kill.
As for the single player, The rep there said he wasn't suppose to show it, but he let me play the first two levels. lol. So just like the N64 classic, you start out in "The Dam." The exact same spot as in the older game. That bridge is there and across the bridge on the left is that sniper tower. I started out with a silenced PP7 however staying silent lasted me about 2 minutes.
Once you clear out the enemies in the first section we all know and love, 006 pulls up in one of those green transport trucks. In the N64 version you see the truck drive by, in the Wii version 006 drives the truck and you are in the passenger seat. While 006 is driving, he is briefing you about the mission and what we are going to do. We end up at a security checkpoint and the guards there noticed we are not friendly's and all hell breaks loose. 006 tosses me a AK-47 and he is driving recklessly through "The Dam."
In the interest of time let me skip to the end of the level. 006 and I meet on "The Dam" and we both jump off and onto the second level which everyone knows as "The Facility."
"The Facility" looks very very very different. You start out going through the vent (just like the N64 version) and you jump on the guy on the toilet. You fight your way through all of the labs and at the end of the level you find yourself and 006 trapped in that room with all the gas tanks. General Ormov catches 006 and supposedly kills him. You set the charges off that you put on the tanks and escape the facility.

As for Call of Duty Black Ops...
At the Activision conference, the community manager played a level called "Slaughter House." It was a pretty long level. He didn't actually finish it, but of what all of us saw, it is a very close quarters area and you are equipped with a shotgun with explosive rounds.
Later that night... Black Ops was playable in two 12 player system links. I got to play two different levels and two different game modes. The game modes Treyarch were showing off were the wager game modes. The first one was sorta a old school playing style. Every player starts out with the crappiest gun in the game and once you get one kill with that gun, you get a better gun. If you get knifed, you drop back one gun. Once you go through 20 different weapons, you win. Lets see if I can remember some of the guns...
1. I started with a little tiny pistol which had little to no damage. 2. dual pistols 3. A version of a 9mm sub 4. TMP 5. MP5 6. pump shotgun 7. AK-47 8. M16 9. Bolt action sniper 10. semi-auto sniper 11. a version of a RTK 12. M60 13. MK48 14. Rocket Launcher 15. Grenade launcher..... Think Terminator 2 when Arnold is blowing up those cop cars. 16. Crossbow with exploding rounds 17. not sure what this is called but the animation looked like a bamboo straw and whenever you shot it, you bring it up to your mouth and shoot it out and get an instant kill.
I missed 3 guns somewhere in there, but you have the general idea. I came in 2nd in that game mode.
The other game mode I played was a version of free-for-all, but had a little twist. Instead of just picking your class like in MW2, there is a 45 second timer in the bottom right of your screen. Every 45 seconds you switch guns. The guns are randomly picked through the game. I came in 1st in that game.
That's about it. If you have an questions about any of the games, I will do my best to answer them.
