SOCOM 4 trailer shows off co-op game modes

Add as a preferred source on Google

Can SOCOM 4 regain the past online glory that it proudly flaunted back during the halcyon days of the PS2? Zipper thinks so, and today they have released more info about the upcoming SOCOM 4, including details on the online co-op multiplayer mode.

Up to five people will be able to play together through two gametypes. “Takedown” sends your crew into an enemy controlled location, with the objective of finding and neutralizing enemy VIPS on site by any means necessary. “Espionage” requires an emphasis on teamwork, as your squad must track down enemy data and sabotage enemy operations. Both gametypes will require you to work with your teammates to locate objectives, eliminate targets and succeed in the missions. Leroy Jenkins need not apply.

At the loading screen before each session begins, you will be able to tailor the action to your group, and determine the enemy density throughout the map, as well as the overall level of difficulty. Check out the clip below and look for the PS3 exclusive SOCOM 4 on April 19.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
