The lights are on
Flash traffic coming down the wire regarding Future Soldier...
On February 09, 2010, Ubisoft surprised the gaming world with news that the next chapter in the Ghost Recon saga was starting to see the light of day. Some of us interested in the title have known it was in the works for a while, but were still caught with our gun belts around our ankles when the news broke.
Shortly after, a very brief and cryptic trailer was released providing a glimpse into the future of the series, and teased us with the hint of a rather nifty and hi-tech optical camoflauge system employed by the soldiers.
For reasons that I cannot discuss or disclose, I have a heightened level of interest in Future Soldier news and the subsequent release of the game. (Okay, that might be putting it on a bit heavy...I got a little carried away). Because of this relationship, if you are a regular reader of my blog, then expect me to provide periodic coverage of this game.
I've already linked one of my blogs to an article that was published by a Scott Mitchell (an obvious ghost writer) over at www.ghostrecon.net that analyzed the video clip for any fragments of intel that might provide a little insight into the mechanics of the game. If you're interested in the link, you can find it here.
A careful scrub of the video didn't reveal much, because there wasn't much to it...or was there?
Representatives from Ubisoft continue to tease the community with hints and clues surrounding the teaser trailer. First they link the Scott Mitchell report from www.ghostrecon.net at their site while asking if anyone discovered any hidden clues in the video; and then today, they send out a few posts (tweets) on Twitter indicating that on March 10, 2010 (WED) they will begin sharing hints hidden within the official release of the Ghost Recon Future Soldier teaser trailer.
While it's a bit premature to raise the DEFCON level at this point, it will be interesting to see how much information they release. We're only in the 3rd month of the year and already some big titles have come out. If Ubisoft wants to compete with the stiff competition that's already making it's presence known, I would think they need to start showing off the big guns to steal the spotlight from the likes of Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2.
Time will tell. Tomorrow is nearly here.
I'm guessing...T Minus 9 hours and counting...
I really enjoyed GRAW and GRAW2 for the campaigns. If this game keeps in line with those, I'll be looking forward to it.
Sweet.
its in russia as you can see the kremlin easily in the picture posted on this blog
Never really played GRAW before, but that game looks kind of cool.
lol we're always fighting the Russias lol
I meant the Russians, my bad.
How does it go from bada** GRAW to GhoRFS?
Played both GRAWs and greatly enjoyed them. So definitely looking forward to this one. Just hope they take their time on it and don't rush it. We have a ton of great games coming out this year so they have plenty of time to do it right.
I tried to enjoy GRAW i really did I spent 5 hours with it on the PS2 and I just got bored...I somehow accidentally failed a mission without realizing what I did several times and gave up...combat controls were too rigid and the pacing wasn't quick enough...I like Rainbow 6 vegas though
I'm really excited about the new quality being outputted by different games today. First CoD, KZ2 was pretty cool, now BCBC2, up next sounds like Medal of Honor, and now Ghost Recon is coming back with what hopes to be high quality fun.
I have a lot to be excited for.
Can't wait til this comes out,i've played graw 1 and 2 to death,also loved the previous games gr2 and summit strike..amazing games..spent years playing all ghost recon games..hoping this is better than the graw series though..looks as though there's gonna be places around the world in the game which is gonna make it awesome,dif scenarios,germany,poland,russia,afganistan,saudiarabia..where as graw games only had mexico which kinda sucked as most chapters on it looked the same,only difference was light during the game..i now have a ps3 and don't miss the xbox360 at all..i have graw2 on ps3 with all the dlc maps on it which is very cool..but graw doesn't have the same appeal now as been playing it from day 1 since it came out on 360 and ps3
and medal of honour and spec ops look amazing..thats my 3 future games planned..right now i'll stick to mw2 which is great but its no ghost recon..GR4LIFE!!!!
There has to be some kind of mistake. Last time I checked, this blog just barely scratched 100 views and now...280+. Jeepers.
Actually I've read the Ghost Recon book and maybe if I'm lucky, they'll pull something like they did with Splinter Cell Conviction, the book came out for that, so maybe David Michaels will write a Ghost Recon future soldier one too. Always a possibility. Though I would like some more details on this game obviously.
