Ignoring the god mode crap, this looks a lot more interesting than I gave it credit for. The HUD elements need to go, but it looks like a good kind of intense.

no. based on what they're showing in this video it seems linear and scripted. you either do stealth assaults on brain-dead AI guards standing around looking the other way, or you are engaged in head-to-head firefights along a given path, probably on the heels of a friendly AI ala COD. There is a part around 5:00 where you see a satellite feed showing positions, but it's not interactive, you can't position men or give orders - everything that still remains from early GR exists only in its most superficial and vapid form in this game. The buttmuncher who was talking about this also name-dropped Red Storm only to launch into a schpiel about how ubisoft shanghai was carrying on their legacy with some free-to-play mmo nonsense. I took offense like a hardware fantard.

Ignoring that this is the raped shell of Ghost Recon, I do enjoy the HUD which they've been using and improving since the first 360 title. There is also what appears to be some civilian crowd control in the gameplay, which might be scripted, but could be interesting if it isn't.

Well, I think we can move past this as a Ghost Recon legacy thing. That legacy has been gone since they announced Ghost Recon 2. The thing is that Ubi makes it hard to accept it, since they have a nasty tendency of mentioning that legacy at the worst times.

Maybe it says more about the current state of shooter than anything, but stuff like this still feels a few tiers above the norm. It's like Rainbow Six Vegas; it's not Rainbow Six of the old sort, but even so it's in its own league.

Also, I'd like to see that "old school" thing turned into a real game.

it's still real to me damn it.

But, yes, as far as modern shooting goes this seems more interesting than the usual dudebro fare. I'll probably pick it up, even if it is as linear and scripted as that video makes it seem since it's been a while since I played a single player shooter for more than 30 minutes.

The 3DS Ghost Recon game seems like a really good one btw. Not necessarily like what they showed in the "retro" clip, but a fun turn-based thingy. I've only played with it a little, so I don't know how it holds up in the long run. I'm assuming it's worth it if you for some odd reason have a 3DS.

Also, Frozen Synapse does a real good job of taking the positioning/planning of rainbow six or swat and making it into it's own little turn based shooter. One of the best purchases I've made in quite a while.

I'd have gotten the 3DS game... if I felt like paying that much for one game. Stupid ass platform.
