Ghost Recon: Future Soldier review: eyes forward

By Arthur Gies on Oct 24, 2012 10.24.12

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is set in a further future than previous Tom Clancy titles, which has allowed Red Storm to dial the tech up from previous games. The most obvious example being active-camouflage, rendering the ghost team, well, invisible-ish. You can still be spotted up close if you're crouching, but if you lay prone or keep a decent distance, you'll stay hidden until you fire or a firefight begins in earnest. “Tactical options feel more limited than previous games” Since the Ghosts are much more fragile than your standard shooter protagonists, firefights are dangerous propositions. As such, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier encourages a more methodical approach. However, tactical options feel more limited than previous games – generally, you're choosing who to shoot...

Ubisoft looking to pitch Ghost Recon movie

By Russ Frushtick on Jan 01, 2013 01.01.13

Ubisoft already has a few movie projects in development, namely Assassin's Creed, starring Michael Fassbender and Splinter Cell, starring Tom Hardy, but won't be the end of the game company's filmic aspirations. Seems that Ghost Recon is next on the docket for a game-to-movie translation. A report in the LA Times states that Jean-Julien Baronnet, the chief executive of Ubisoft Motion Pictures, is "putting together a pitch for a movie based on the Ghost Recon games about a special operations military squad. The Ghost Recon games have never had extraordinarily fleshed-out characters or backstories. This means a film based on the franchise would need only to include a handful of soldiers kitted out with near-future military technology to remain consistent with the series. Ubisoft had...

Assassin's Creed 3 first-week sales exceed 3.5 million copies, Ubisoft says

By Samit Sarkar on Nov 06, 2012 11.06.12

Ubisoft estimates it sold more than 3.5 million copies of Assassin's Creed 3 during the game's first week of availability, according to the company's financial report for the first half of its 2012-13 fiscal year. The figure is more than double the number of sales from Assassin's Creed: Revelations' first week in 2011, the report said. Ubisoft's first financial half-year ended on Sept. 30. So while the company's earnings report doesn't factor in Assassin's Creed 3 sales, the game's significant marketing costs — along with those for Ubisoft's other third-quarter releases, including Far Cry 3 — raised selling expenses and led to a current operating loss of €58.1 million ($74.4 million). But Ubisoft believes that marketing spending will pay off in the third fiscal quarter, which...

Ghost Recon Commander Facebook game canceled, 15 laid off

By Brian Crecente on Oct 29, 2012 10.29.12

Ghost Recon Commander, the action-oriented Facebook game and mobile app, was canceled today and the team of 15 working on the game laid off, according to the game's developer. "Sad news," Brenda Brathwaite, COO of developer Loot Drop tweeted. "Today, Ghost Recon Commander was canceled. As a result, we laid off a team of kick-ass developers. If you have openings, ping me." Brathwaite, who over the weekend married John Romero, told Polygon that the two cut their honeymoon short to return to their San Bruno, California-based studios and break the news to the team in person. The game has players sending their soldiers out on turn-based, tactically-driven missions to take out the enemies and complete the objectives without dying. The entire game is played from an isometric view and was...
