Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Trailer Shows Future War

Looks a little cheesey for the series, hope they don't get stupid with it.

The original is still the best imo. =p

People complain about playing the something over and over again and ye they call for it when it is not delivered? Brilliant. How many more more Ghost Recon games set in modern times would have been enough? Hasn't the series been there ever since the first game came out? Eventually the series would move into the 21st century. OH noes! Live action! that means it's definitely not ghost recon anymore! Only ODST can have that! !11one

What sci fi? Unless I missed something, there were no aliens or space ships. Those robots were very similar to what is begin prototyped in the real world. In fact, I bet alot of it was based on early designs for real world weaponry. The "stealth" thing is actually being looked into right now, even if it's not quite as advanced as the one in the video. Is it just some irresistible urge to label everything that doesn't look like a carbon copy of the modern world as "sci fi"?

I thought it looked amazing. And from what I can tell, it's still very much Ghost Recon. The tactical focus is still very much there. They use a sniper to monitor and take out targets from long range, and use stealth to slip past enemies. Technology plays a huge role in real war, like it does here. The better tech you have, the more effective you can be against the enemy.

Shoulder rockets? So what? Are you telling me that being able to take out armored targets without taking the time to switch to a bulky shoulder mounted weapon wouldn't give you the advantage? There's nothing sci fi about it. This is all just an extrapolation of the Land Warrior system

Ghost Recon used to be such an awesome game.. now it's... this abomination.

Now they have really ruined this franchise. GRAW was just on the point, but pulled through on the premise, that the tech was "just around the corner". But this...?
This has more to do with crysis and Geas of War, then GRAW. Cloaking devices, small rockets taking down uparmored t90's and scopes that show media clips... come on!
I want some nice future spec-ops/infantry fighting, not some scifi spacemarine run and gun shooter. I could just play HALO for that.
Give me some "near-tech" and a game where you need to think a little.

Oh, it's those pesky Russian ultranationalists again.

This is a sweet trailer, considering the cloaking device was recently invented.

Fuck, that looks horrible. Shoulder mounted rocket launchers? Somebody's been watching too many robot animes. I don't even want to talk about the invisible blankets, compared to the shoulder mounted rocket launchers, I can't decide if it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen or the second dumbest thing I've ever seen.

As much as I love the Ghost Recon games, this entire video was pointless.

Look at how the United States currently takes down high risk targets like this. Sure, they send in soldiers to do the job at times. But if there is a risk for high friendly casualties, they send in the Predators and take down targets with precision missile strikes.

Given how successful this technique has been for the U.S. in modern day warfare, I can't help but think it would be even more successful in the future where this Ghost Recon is set.

I've always held Ghost Recon in high esteem for its use of realistic tactics and gameplay, especially the earlier PC versions, and its a shame that this iteration doesn't extrapolate future warfare based on these values.

Pretty cheesy video...

Reminds me of "Captain Power".

The video is well made, definitely, it looks cool, but bots are way cheesy, and no fun to fight against in games at all. Has anyone, anywhere, ever had fun fighting against a bot in a computer game? I know I haven't, I hate fighting against them. They just aren't fun, they always have way too much firepower and way too much armour, it's just a chore fighting against them. And you don't get the satisfaction of killing a living thing, because it's just a robot. What is the fun against that? If I really wanted to attack something made of metal I could just have a fight with a washing machine.

Looks cool, but I can't imagine it without seeing the actual gameplay trailer. Seems like Ghosts are now like superman who can withstand anything, took out a tank with a missle launching out of their backpacks...

I think it looks awesome. Never played the others in the series so I can't compare.

That looked REALLY expensive. I think this would make a better TV mini series or regular show than a GR video game. Call it something else. GR this is not.

Why? Oh why did this have to turn into "Halo: Pre-Contact"? I loved the realistic feel of the Ghost Recon games. Now we have Invisibility cloaks, Battle-Robots and Shoulder-launched Rockets? Seriously?

That's really disappointing for me. I guess mature gamers are just no longer their target audience.

it is a shame what this IP has become. The first one and it's expansions were phenomenal, then they made the console jump and suddenly Red Storm took the stupid pill and made just another shooter with specops troops.The same with the R6 series.
all I can say is meh..

What is up with shackvideo? Videos won't load at all.

It doesn't show the game at all.. but I would TOTALLY watch the mini-series! If Ghost Recon.. the HBO series looked liked this.. I'd be there on day one.

Is the "Ghost Recon" name so big they think they need to use it to maximize customers? This trailer looks like it could be fun - but it is so far removed from what the Ghost Recon franchise used to represent, why name it this at all?

Call it "Tom Clancy: Future Soldier" and leave the Ghost Recon out of it.

The DRM is going to suck. Otherwise this trailer looks great!

What....the FUCK...did I just watch? Looked like C&C 3 Tiberium + ODST + I dunno. Thanks a lot Ubi.

Pfft. I say "Sweet Baby Jesus"

I haven't play a GR game since the second one. Guess I missed out on the story where we capture and interrogate Predators to learn their cloaking and shoulder mounted missile technology.

it would be great if this game was tactical and challenging like R6 but with futuristic stuff. Doubt it though.

What next? Slick shoes?

Dunno about the game but I love these short films. Assassin's Creed was ok and the Halo ODST trailer was sweet. This trailer doesn't disappoint either.

I've always secretly loved the Ghost Recon series. Let's hope this one doesn't disappoint. If Activision gets their shit straight, we gamers could be blessed with three extremely high production war shooters (CoD and BF being the other two). The competition and variety between the three will drive the genre and I hope all three are successful.

Tom Clancy's: BATTLEFIELD 2142

This looks really sick. I've been jonesing for a new GR!
