anyone hear much about Ghost Recon?

OtherWhiteMeat4998d ago

Thinking about the same thing,here's what I found....... "Ghost Recon Future Soldier may have made an impact at Comic Con with the first showing of the Ghost Recon Alpha trailer, but it's a surprising no-show for the upcoming GamesCon event.

Ubisoft have decided to keep Future Soldier under wraps and concentrate on showing off ten playable versions of top titles such as HAWX 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Driver. Read the full list and more details in our forums here."

MAULxx4998d ago

Looks great, what I've saw but got pushed to next year.
It's my most anticipated shooter.

Jaces4998d ago (Edited 4998d ago )

Does anyone know if you get the credit if you already preordered the game before the credit offer was available?

ReservoirDog3164998d ago

Play it safe, just cancel the preorder and preorder it again.

Jaces4998d ago

yea, I figured I'd do that anyway. =P

OtherWhiteMeat4998d ago

Hope they add NHL 11 to that list.

Goldenarmz4998d ago

are these stackable? Like could i buy Mafia , get the 10$ use that towards Halo, get another 20?

Chug4998d ago

I had $40 worth of credit from two or three different purchases and used them towards one game.

DeFFeR4998d ago

Is this list outdated? I just went to Madden 11 for 360, and there was no "$20 offer" section like there usually is. Also, the game was only $53.99 (10% off). I checked for PS3 as well, still no promotion. Any ideas or am I just missing something?

HelghastKid4998d ago

Gonna pick up Mafia 2, MOH, and Fallout NV. Funny how i didnt really like the MOH beta, yet ive been watching videos on it and now im hyped

bunt-custardly459d ago

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds458d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

deleted458d ago

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69458d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3459d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese458d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits458d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff2183458d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

PlayStation 3: chasing the 1080p dream, part three - Gran Turismo 5 and the indie explosion

From Digital Foundry: "Welcome to the third part in the biggest DF Retro episode we've ever produced - a year-by-year look at how 1080p gaming fared on the PlayStation 3. Launched in 2007 touting its then-exclusive HDMI digital interface, Sony layered full HD gaming on top of its Cell processor and RSX 'Reality Synthesizer' as key selling points for its third generation console. Of course, we all know how that turned out - both Sony and Microsoft machines routinely ran the most advanced titles at sub-720p resolutions, often with questionable performance, so what happened to the 1080p dream?

In the first two parts of John Linneman's investigation, we've covered off the first four years of the Triple's lifecycle and moving into 2010, the overall fortunes of the PlayStation 3 continued to improve. The platform holder released - what was then - the most advanced motion controller in the console space, backed up by experiments with stereoscopic 3D, which turned out to be a short-lived but still formidable pairing. Combined with a strong E3 showing, PS3 was looking good.

However, it's fair to say that it was a fallow year for 1080p gaming on the system, with only Scott Pilgrim Saves The World's razor-sharp pixel art upscaling, Castle Crashers and Soldner X2's 3D/FMV stylings accommodating full HD output - alongside a wonderful Monkey Island remaster."

Just remember ladies and gentlemen, Sony never said all games would be 1080p. Only that the system would support games up to 1080p in a survey before the system was released.
https://spong.com/article/9...
And as we saw, some games did support it, some games tried their best to support it and some games didn't or never reached it.

Is a higher resolution great to have if you can do it? Sure. Is it necessary for a fun game? No

But what I find interesting is Eurogamer. Are they really talking about HD and PS3 in their article or are they really pushing their 4.50 Euros 4K video download subscription? Seems one is being used to sell the other. Just look at the bottom of the article.

Michiel1989632d ago

thats what every company tries to do, push for people to buy their products. Are you really gonna blame them for that?

ApocalypseShadow632d ago

Not all articles are about selling. They're about informing or entertaining.

Maybe I'm supposed to watch the video instead of reading. But I shouldn't have to click. But the article lazily tells us some games did hit 1080p and some didn't. I didn't learn anything new as I own the console. Then, they push a Patreon subscription.

Are you saying every opinion, preview, review and rant article requires a push to buy something now? Tell me which sites are prone to do so so that I can avoid them in the future.

Michiel1989632d ago

not everyone played during the ps3 era. I started during snes era but loved seeing articles/videos about how gaming evolved before that.

i dont think this article is trying to push you to get that patreon sub, it doesnt for me at least. I dont think theres anything wrong putting an ad at the bottom of the article. all the regular DF videos are free already.

SonyStyled632d ago

Wipeout HD on PS3, a remake of the PS1 game was 1080p 60fps. And that released in 2007-08

Christopher632d ago

This really feels like a filler article. I don't feel like I learned anything notable or substantial from this. I feel they could have reduced the unnecessary intro and over-explanation of things and put the whole series in one article for a more substantial and possibly informative piece rather than piece-mealing it out as they have.

dumahim632d ago

It's more about the video. DF Retro videos are for Patreon members first, and I think the whole thing was one big video. For the youtube channel, it gets chopped up and released weekly.

ApocalypseShadow632d ago

Chris is actually right on this one. Something known already was just kind of washed over in the article. Unless you're supposed to get more in the video. If more is in the video, then more could have been said in the article.

Only thing I learned new was that they are selling a subscription. My point though is that you gain more viewers by having better articles and content.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee704d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

Terry_B704d ago

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.
