Consider This A High Quality Asset Getting The Word Out.

Just the whole concept of SOCOM on a PSP has never sounded too stellar to us. Then we played it, and came away pleasantly surprised. So we're a little disappointed to see the game slip. It was originally due in late November but will now launch on January 12th.

SCEA Senior Producer Mark Rogers explained that the game is totally on time to meet its production deadline, but unfortunately the marketing for the game hasn't been quite right. He explains, "some high value visual assets (screens and video) have only recently been made available to global marketing and we have decided to move the release and allow time to get the word out to everyone."

Hopefully Slant Six can use those extra few weeks to give the game another spit of polish. We're sure they'd rather put their game out on time, but hey, if you get an extra few weeks, why not work on making the product even better?
