More Game Clan Support for SONY Games


I noticed recently that Socom and Killzone 2 are giving more clan support to games than others did in the past. They have been combining games and their websites. Socom as a prime example with the updates of its website 2.0 linking your PSN ID with your clan buddies. And now announced with an update of 1.5 to give even more support for clans as according to socom.com...

Patch 1.5
I am hearing a lot of you wondering what is next, now that Patch 1.41 is out. Well the team is working on Patch 1.5 already. There have been a lot of changes and additions that you have requested and they are looking to see how much can be done for this patch. So you will see some community requested items. They are also planning for that patch to include the clan ladder and tournament calendar. We will have more information on that as we get closer to release of the patch.

Killzone 2 does a nice job when making your own war rooms. By giving a passcode option and making a room specifically for clans. Clans are reinforced on their website with a top ten and showing scores.

Speculation...if SONY with the developers promotes clan support in their HOME Spaces coming soon. Like showing top performing clans and a private War Room option with game launching abilities. Example, think about combining the Warhawk Space's map board feature to Drake's Sully's Bar coded doors. Being able to challenge other clans through HOME or the main game's website. Brings an element of gaming socialization superior to any other console or PC can offer. Bring more developers onboard to cater to the hardcore gaming audience.

So, combining websites and games for clans support are being done now which makes things better than what they were. And the future possibilities of new HOME Spaces could take gaming clans to the next level of competition.

And looking at the other conole developers, we can hope they will take a new interest in promoting social gaming further.
