Ghost Recon: Wildlands is back, and its latest trailer wants to remind you just how good it looked at E3 last year. New info on collector's editions, plus a new trailer.
I honestly can't remember the last time I played a good ghost recon game. Maybe early Xbox 360 ghost recon which is like 10 yrs ago. Can't get hyped for this at all. Same goes for rainbow 6 both used to be such great games
"Ghost Recon Wildlands isn’t simply an open-world game that allows for cooperative play – it’s built specifically for four players. Making its four Ghosts – each with their own upgradable skills – work together is a huge part of its open-ended approach to strategy. It’s so important, in fact, that if you’re playing solo, you’ll be assisted by three AI partners"
I've read nothing about it being online only. It CAN be played online only if you want, but I've read nothing regarding the game relying on servers to exist.
@gin- I actually disagree because Ubisoft day 1 told us The Division was a online , open world, rpg.
This game states nothing of the sort, not even slightly. You're partners can be A.I if you are playing alone...
Are the bots controllable through commands, or better yet are we able to switch between them?
I really miss games where you could give squad commands. Ghost Recon, Rainbow 6, Conflict Desert Storm, Brothers in Arms, Full Spectrum Warrior. If this is just another military 3rd person shooter with unlikable characters and AI bots just following you around but not listening to commands I dont know that Im that interested. Having Command gives a whole nother layer of strategy which most modern games lack. After Rainbow 6 took out everything I loved about that franchise I dont really have much hope for this.
PS Anyone else notice how homogenized Ubisofts games look? They all just sort of blend in together. The animation, the augmented reality overlays. They really need to try to differentiate them a bit better and give each one its own flavour and style.

What? Huh? Buddy, Ubisoft isn't 1 studios, they have many studios that are working on many different games, I'm not even sure their Snowdrop engine that was used on The Division will be used on other titles, I think this title is actually using The Snowdrop engine, but For Honor, Far Cry, last year's AC title etc are not using the same engine, thus.....what are you talking about?
The same teams are not even making those games. I think you buy a bit too much into the BS you hear on here. How can you tell a "ubisoft game" from another game when they could be using different engines and by different teams? Thus....how can you tell 1 Ubisoft TEAM from another Ubisoft team when they are different teams, using different engines?
If you took ReSpawn and you made the make Titanfall 2 under Ubisoft, does it LOOK like a Ubisoft game?
LMFAO!
That is like saying if I take KFC chicken, put it in Wal Mart does it taste like Wal Mart......
I mean...when the chief is different, how on earth are you stating it taste like something based on Wal Mart when it may not be the same chiefs ie how can you state "ubisofts games" when they have many different teams using many different engines?
I know you understand the publisher isn't the developer, but you're post sure sounds like you're confused about the team that makes the game, and the publisher that markets the game. You are talking about different teams.....
No, because I don't get hung up on games looking exactly the same as their earliest trailers. I know that games usually go through artistic and technical changes throughout development. What really matters is the finished product and whether it plays well and looks great. Ubisoft have made some of the best looking games of the generation (The Division, AC Unity, Far Cry Primal, etc) and that is what matters to me as far as graphics go, not whether there has been some discrepancy from early trailers.
This team did the previous Ghost Recon games, I think they will do a great job with this title. The concept sounds amazing! Sounds like MGSV meets Ghost Recon. Very excited to hear more about this game. It set for a 2016 release, so I hope it meets its date.
After playing Overwatch that trailer looked so damn generic. Hopefully like with Rainbow Six Siege, Ubi take Ghost Recon back to it's tactical roots and they'll definitely get a purchase from me.
I love Blizzard so much I almost bought Overwatch on developer name alone. After the beta, I wouldn't take money to play that game. It's so generic and not fun.
Agreed. Well they have to keep up, they are below Activision and EA and I think its a great idea they always replace their top IPs every single gen. ala Sony.
Maybe this will give them the edge. I think it does personally. I didn't care for AC last gen, but Watchdogs has me interested. I think keeping things fresh allows for new consumers to enter you're market. I haven't bought an Activision game in ages ,since COD MW2. Oh boy, I haven't bought a Activsion game since 2009 lol!
From Ubisoft, this gen, I bought Child Of Light, got ZombiU for free from PSN Plus and thats about it.
I plan on getting Wildlands, For Honor, Watchdogs 2 likely. Some change is GREAT for a publisher as If I stopped playing their older IPs, I have no real reason to return for its sequels. I haven't bought a Ubisoft games besides this gen, since AC1.
The fact that I'm already set to buy around 3 is a massive improvement imho. I don't think this will get them beating Activision or EA or anything, but I think it will drastically help the company in the long haul.
@Move- lol I know. Folks told me how much better AC II was and I ended up picking it up used along with Brotherhood and 3. I actually have Far Cry 2 and will likely end up getting Primal.
I might play some of the series as my back log is pretty full.
I disagree. Division and Watch Dogs were not go IMO and Siege was very lacking in content. I refuse to support them anymore until they put some character, soul, and details in their games. Very mediocre since probably Far Cry 3 or Black Flag.
Who cares? Guess what game wasn't a downgrade? The Order and it was bad. I really enjoyed playing Watch Dogs and it saw a big downgrade. I enjoyed playing the Division for over a month with a group of friends and it saw a down grade.
Graphics dont mean anything if the game is bad. If this game goes back to the tactical roots of a series they can tell me right now its going to be down graded and I'm still buying it.
What big downgrades did Watch Dogs see exactly? I keep seeing people say this shit but it just isn't the case. They took away depth of field (which when enabled on the PC looked horrible and made playing the game a pain in the ass) and a few effects here and there. There was nothing major about any of it.
In fact, if anything, Watch Dogs has been the LEAST downgraded Ubi game in the past few years.
No, Watch Dogs looked and looks great to this day. Something like The Division, if you know the technical side of things, was much more downgraded.
Watch the trailer again. You'll notice that if there has been a downgrade it has already taken place.Some things have definitely been toned down from the reveal trailer.
All Ubisoft games? I think that's incorrect. AC Unity, AC Syndicate, Far Cry Primal...I noticed no downgrade in any of these games. And if there were they were so insignificant they aren't even worth talking about.
In the end, what does matter is that Ubisoft, more than probably any other third party developer, consistently puts out games with top level graphics.
I don't get how people downvote stuff like this. Besides the graphics looking same-ish and a very small amount of the UI elements the E3 2013 demo shares nearly nothing in common with the final game.
People getting reeled in again. Game will have a graphical downgrade, and a game mission as a pre-order bonus is ridiculous. * skip entire game option enabled *
what part of graphics don't make a game do u not understand? if there is a downgrade then it is usually cuz the game was not running properly so they took the graphics down for better stability and frames. I will take a stable working game over one that looks pretty but plays like shit.
I never said they make a game. I said expect a graphical downgrade, seeing as it's how ubi hype their games that many people buy, and then knock. Try again.
I think it's funny people downvote you as if they have a memory span of a month. It's amazing that people bash Ubisoft constantly for their misleading tactics and "gameplay" footage but yet somehow, like, that doesn't matter any more or something? Ubisoft have proven themselves to be deceptive about features and graphics time and time and time again and EVERYONE KNOWS THIS...but yet you point it out and everyone disagrees...what???
The industry is shaped by the ease in which people will buy games, and not care about wasting their money. People will buy games because their pals bought them, even if they're not fans of the game. Individualism is pretty much a thing of the past. I can understand young people being easily misled by a combination of hype and hope, but there's no excuse for adults !
I think that I'll enjoy this game more than Rainbow Six Siege. I played Siege like crazy for the first month and a half, and then got bored with it. Other than the Rainbow Six Vegas games last gen, which were just as good as GRAW2, I've always been more of a Ghost Recon fan.
According to their webpage it's releasing this year. I remember previous articles that said it had been delayed until next year. Looks good, I hope it's this year..
Please, don't let this game be online only...
Damn, that's how you do a trailer. This game looks gorgeous. Co-op makes it a day one for me.
Wow, looks lovely. Hope it delivers!

WHat i love about Ubisoft is that they release a lot of new IP.A lot of them don't live up to the hype, but they are still good games.
