SOCOM 4 Beta Dates Revealed

Itching to get your hands on Zipper Interactive's tactical shooter SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs? Sony has announced details for the upcoming beta due out later this month.

The team says a private beta will begin "soon" and will then be opened up to PlayStation Plus members on March 22 in North America (no details on dates for other regions). On March 29 the beta will open up to players who picked up a voucher found in copies of Killzone 3. Come April 5, the beta will be available to the general public on PSN. The program will end on April 13.

  • so my kz3 voucher gets me third in line? oh well i'll take what i can get, especially as two weeks is a decent amount of time to try it out. can't wait to see what zipper's been up to.
  • I love how sony releases beta's to the public after a while.
  • I hope this game will put Socom back on map as being on of the premier military, team-based games. I just don't think alot of gamers are even interested in a game like this. Correct me if I am wrong.
  • Hmmm, my copy of KZ3 does not include a Socom 4 beta code.
  • Can't wait for this to come out.  Will finally play something besides CoD!

  • That's crap. I don't see how buying a game can get me third in line to play.

  • That sucks for people who aren't Plus members and bought Kz3 partly because of the Socom 4 Beta.

    I might give the code to a friend who isn't a Plus member, since it'll be pointless to have.
  • I honestly didnt even know that KZ3 came with beta access untill I picked it up from gamestop lol. As for Socom itself, the last one kinda sucked, hard.
  • wow with this and the Gears 3 beta opening on april 18th looks like I'll be busy.

  • Mod

    I can wait until April 5th.

  • For those PS3 owners who haven't subscribed to PS+, it is absolutely worth the price if you have the cash to spare.  I have had the service for like 4 months, in that time I've gotten so many free and discounted games, early demos, access to betas, and more.  Some months are better than others, but whats great is that they'll occasionally suprise you, last month, the main free downloadable game was Digger HD, kind of a disappointment, something I'd never heard of, then a week or two later that month they added on a free copy of Stacking, the brand  new doublefine game.

    Some people call it a rip off, but they're just plain wrong.  So this month we'll get early access to the Mortal Kombat demo, Socom 4 beta, a free copy of Sonic the Hedgehog, two "minis" games, a few games half off or 75% off, full game trial for modnation racers, and there's still more to come.  Awesome.

  • I really hope this game doesnt suck like the OTHER new socom the old socom games were cool because they did everything ligit like no puns or one liners or stupid action hero crap you just completeed the mission everything about the old games were like believable and real you know?
  • I sure hope the game doesn't suck as much as the videos, they are so corny and poorly done I almost want to vomit on my beta voucher.

  • I am just gonna penny up for Plus one of these days... chump change, why not?

  • This is good to know, because when I got KZ3, I had no idea about the beta; Then when I entered the code online it told me that it was an invalid code, so I thought I got ripped off.

  • Sweeeet!

  • looking forward to getting my hands on this next week with my Sharpshooter!
