Is there a video out there of the Ghost Recon bits? I want to know how much this warrants on the seething rage scale.

Socreges said:Well that's all very true. They obviously included this bizarre coma/shift bullshit so as to fix that. But the fix itself is just... Driver isn't science-fiction. It's inspired by classic car chases in old action movies. By having the player able to spontaneously appear in another car of their choosing, the suspension of disbelief is fucked. The nature and feel of the game is completely transformed.
Anyway, I'm interested in seeing how it plays. Maybe they got it to work without compromising the game's other qualities.

Closer to what you described would be assassins creed. Take a fantastic idea for a game then completely ruin the atmosphere and rip the player out of a fantastic setting and turn it into a modern day sci-fi game. Then further ruin an amazing game world with memory walls and randomly ripping them out to go back to an uninteresting and unnecessary modern setting.
Why not just make the story about a family who has a long lineage of assassins? Then they could have the sequels for assassins creed take place in many different time periods without having to use the dumb sci-fi memory machine. There Ubisoft, i used 1 brain cell and 20 seconds to fix your game for you. And man don't get me started on how many opportunities they missed out on for really compelling gameplay. Finding the target you need to assassinate, if handled right, could make for a very compelling game.
Oh man I'm done bitching about Ubisoft. I have no idea what is going on in their offices that other game companies are getting right, but their games end up feeling soulless. They have dropped the ball over and over on some games with a lot of potential. They have made games that will only be remembered when they had a chance to be revered.
It's gone for good. If it was alive you know they would have shown it.
Oh well, I guess.
Yet if there was any time to show it, it would have been during their own conference.Salazar said:There was a statement to the contrary very recently. Was posted on GAF.
NinjaFridge said:Animus is cool, screw the haters.
:lol how Ironic.R0nn said:Wait, everyone is hating on the conference?
Well, it was really embarrassing during the middle part, but you can't do wrong with Child of Eden, Rayman 4 and Project Dust can you? Don't know how to feel about Driver and Ghost Recon yet, but those games didn't look terrible by any means of the imagination. AC: Brotherhood looks promising enough as well.
EA conference was better overall though. The MS conference was just terrible overall.
I could only find another CGI trailer. This news is sad, to say the least.recklessmind said:Probably gametrailers has it up already. Some people apparently liked it. I'm guessing they aren't fans of the classic GR games.
Since they consider "stealth" running around in the open directly in front of the enemies but completely hidden because of their invisible suits.
I thought I was over it... Ghost Recon. I knew this would be bullshit. GR is dead and buried, I thought. But watching that video it was like they dug up the remains and skullfucked its cold dead corpse.
bathala said:just be glad its not announce.
u might play as a coma soldier with invincible buddies
I <3 Memes said:Memory walls were cool? Assassination targets being highlighted?
It's like all of these things they do to games is to make them as easy and as simple as possible. If Ubisoft made Half-Life games your HEV suit would highlight the route you need to take, all of the items that you need to make physics puzzles work, then put a big arow above the items you can pick up and throw with the gravity gun.
In the first game there was nothing. If your car got wrecked or turned upside down you had to start over. I prefer this solution. It's contrived as all hell, but as far as I can tell it's an otherwise pretty decent compromise. You can swap between cars, you don't ever leave the car, and you don't have to restart if you mess up at the very end.Razor210 said:It also makes it so that you can't actually fail.
well, they can't make it actually as bad as they made it seem. right?
NullPointer said:I could only find another CGI trailer. This news is sad, to say the least.
Devs! You don't need to mindlessly copy that other shooter. Can we have at least have at least one high quality shooter series that puts strategy and tactics at the forefront? That rewards planning, communication and adaptability?
bathala said:as long as they show the games u like its not bad. But if its something u hate its terrible conference
They didn't actually announce the game in the conference. A bunch of dancers came down, there was a graphic that said "Michael Jackson", they danced, and that was it.Anth0ny said:So, the only press conference I decide not to watch... ANNOUNCES A FUCKING MICHAEL JACKSON GAME? JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
day fucking one.
pretty much. but I'm surprised they didn't outright SAY they were making an MJ game.Anth0ny said:So, the only press conference I decide not to watch... ANNOUNCES A FUCKING MICHAEL JACKSON GAME? JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
day fucking one.
Rebel Leader said:*MICHAEL JACKSON*
*hatters gonna hate*
bathala said::lol how Ironic.
as long as they show the games u like its not bad. But if its something u hate its terrible conference :lol SOB
Because a conference is more than just a list of games announced (though it could be argued it should be), its about the whole presentation. I think most people spent more time cringing uncomfortably during the Ubisoft conference than Microsofts. Ubi should really consider a new host for next year.R0nn said:Wait, everyone is hating on the conference?

Yeah well... I just started reading Scott Pilgrim and think it's only okay.Amir0x said:I merely have no love for gross people like Michael Jackson. Idol worship is for blood suckers and vapid people with no personalities of their own.

Touché.Amir0x said:I respect your opinion and hope you enjoy more later.

What about it?
Rabbids is complete 0/0 so far as a franchise. Why would I anticipate another one?

On a lighter note, the new Rayman looks awesome. That is some really beautiful stuff if that trailer is in game footage
Anihawk said:No. RAYMAN.
RAYMAN.
Amir0x said:Hm. Interesting. Missed that one. Not sure what to make of this. What platform? It looks a little janky.
Duelist said:It's totally like you should be designing these games.
