Finally some SOCOM: Confrontation public beta info! It’s coming in September. For those of us who bought the first issue of Qore, we get into the beta a week later than those who preordered the game.

Any SOCOM fans out there? Here’s a video interview with some actual gameplay footage in there. Once I get a job I might pick this one up - downloaded, even.

Of interest to me were the comments right near the end where they said that you can use the SIXAXIS motion controls to lean your character, among other things. I wonder if this will end up being the first really useful SIXAXIS feature?

SOCOM Confrontation is coming out on September 16th. I heard that it only has seven maps, so it better be a half price title!

1UP had this to say about the game:

To celebrate this news, tomorrow Sony will be launching SOCOM.com, an online community site devoted to the game. Pre-release, the site will provide regular news updates as well as a place for fans to get together. Once the game has launched, gamers will discover full integration with the website, including near real-time stat tracking, clan management tools, and more.
