redeemed. nice screenshots posted there, too.

a number of hardcore, PC version GR1 fans attended a recent xbox preview in san francisco. some reports can be read here:

the earlier, E3 previews were tainted by several factors, least of which being that the preview movies (and xbox demo on the E3 floor) were geared more toward attracting "the mainstream gamer," rather than vieing for the attention of the existing fan base.

that backfired on Ubi/RSE by making the hardcore fans feel disenfranchised -- evidence of this is dan morris's review in PC Gamer where he said that fans "won't be getting the sequel to ghost recon 1."

it seems a lot has changed since then. a demo will be the decider for many, but i'm already sold and will definitely be picking this game up. my only wish is that they kept the limp :-(

don't know 'em. but suli is an oldschool GR guy, and so is kimi -- and their reports almost fully corroborate the info provided by "splitz"...

ultimately, the decision is yours. i only bothered posting in the first place because many posters here look at a game once, and proceed to casually write it off.. or go out of their way to talk shit when they may have only heard/read some half-cocked review somewhere. these are reports by (at least 2) PC GR1 fans. worth looking at, imho.

so all i'm saying is: the game looked as though it was were crippled by design from the consolization process, however that no longer seems to be the case. $0.02 no deposit, no return.

eh well after the designers even admitted it wont play like the orignal I'll wait and see what the reviews say but I'm not optimistic
