rossiski Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 ...For me, I think the biggest irony is that after the GRAW community fades, I think the [GR] community will still be bopping along maybe no bigger but probably no smaller than it is now. (crossing my fingers) Sorry, back on topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SillyHalfMexican Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'm a sucker for any of my favorite series GR, R6, Battlefield... I typically buy new games on the day it's released or that week. Don't see myself breaking this 'rule' Just gotta save up $110 now (PC & 360 version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retlaw Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 It will depend on the demo/PCGamer/game sites reviews. I just hope they really listen to the Old Ghost Recon fans and give us a real "Sequel". Also me buying the game right away will depend on system requirements. My system is not D10 ready. I had to pass on R3 Vegas, because I don't have the $$ to update my graphic card. If reviews/Demo are great(good don't cut it after dropping the ball the way they did) I will upgrade the video card. If they come out with a half bake game, not a real sequel with all the atributes that made GR great, the same way they did with GRAW, it will be the final nail in the coffin for GR?GRAW.

FatmanDaz Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Day of release and hoping that's the 30th as published....... we have a LAN party starting on the 30th and hopefully GRAW2 will be on the games roster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgie Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I'll wait for a review from Gamespot/UK PCG/US PCG or PC Zone. These are unbiased and, in the case of most major releases, within a few points of one another. If one of these sources says it's good enough for my money (and other details from the review/synopsis are attracive to me) then I'm on board. But I don't buy anything that hasn't been reviewed.

They aren't going to listen to the old GR fans.. Had they ever listened, we would have never gotten GRAW in its given form. One GRIN rep already posted in a different thread that GRAW2 will not be a version of GR. GRIN thinks they will make the same sales as they did on GRAW so they aren't going to take the time to go back to [GR] and find out what made it great. GR is dead. In three years I doubt anyone will be playing the GRAW series,... but it won't matter. GRIN will get there money and move on. The only thing [GR] fans can hope for is that a different company makes a game that is similar to ghost recon in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means it will be based on GRAW, if it then moves towards or from [GR] I haven't said anything about. And if you think we don't listen or care about you, then I suggest you read the GRAW forums again. If you do, you can make a short guess in what direction we are trying to move . You might also notice that you are quite a divided crowd, the improvements you would want for a OGR2 (as well as GRAW2) is very different from person to person, so making GRAW2 isn't really that straightforward. With that said, we still do all that we can to please you all, even if it seems to be utterly impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sui317 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 i'd still give it a try when you dish up a platform version i would draw the line when zombies come on stage and it involves 5 meter giants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoQuarter Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Too early to tell...not enough info on content, specs, etc.I'll amend this to as soon as it hits the local shelves. The little that we have heard (about :AW2) sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing [GR] fans can hope for is that a different company makes a game that is similar to ghost recon in the future. I'm with Bumbi, maybe you should read the forums again and again and again. GRIN is one of the very FEW developers who I have come accross that still personally interact with the players (don't hire some "community manager" like UBI). I thought GRIN did probably everything they could as far as adding and changing GRAW to our liking because of this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 They aren't going to listen to the old GR fans.. GRIN did listen to some community input, especially for the patches to GRAW, although there naturally were limitations to how many fixes (and their extent) they could implement. You might also notice that you are quite a divided crowd, the improvements you would want for a OGR2 (as well as GRAW2) is very different from person to person, so making GRAW2 isn't really that straightforward. With that said, we still do all that we can to please you all, even if it seems to be utterly impossible. Of course the input from a public forum is going to be diverse. You'll have to evaluate and sort out what can be regarded as valid, precise and constructive mainstream critique, and what is mostly gibberish. In three years I doubt anyone will be playing the GRAW series,... but it won't matter. GRIN will get there money and move on. The only thing [GR] fans can hope for is that a different company makes a game that is similar to ghost recon in the future. Could very well be so, still AW has its charm and potentials and AW could stand on its own (I'm speaking mainly of MP) and maybe AW 2 could be a suitable replacement game for many [GR] clans? What road GRIN has chosen, I'd guess, is totally depending on timeframe, cost, directives from UBI, and GRIN's and UBI's overall goal with AW 2. I'm looking forward to any further PC game info, demo, trailer, further in game screenshots etc within the next couple of month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepdoc-iBeta Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) Bumbi, Nice post except for the despiar part at the end. Don't despair. See my thank you letter from other forum. http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=41657 I will buy day one. I will pre-order. GRAW1 was a near classic. And still has legs in both SP and MP on my HD. Keep on keepin on GRiN. You guys have great art and great vision. A little more follow through on features and details of them, and your on yourway to a true classic. Sleepdoc PS. GRiNs suumer patch fest taught me to trust them. They promised a summer of patches, new content and new game modes and they delivered. Perfect? no. EXcellent? yes. They said what they were going to do and they did it. They earned my trust last summer. I'm still playing today. I'll be buying ASAP. Edited February 4, 2007 by Sleepdoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbrad1 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 GRIN Bumbi, If you read the post I have in the GRAW forum, you would see (along with many others, the open letter to Grin) that thank the gods for a company like GRIN. As I said, I have been absent because I was busy playing R6 Vegas ( fun, for the SP), but I have read their forum and even expierenced some of the problems that many of their members have written about. The only answers the community for R6 Vegas gets are from a poor woman nicknamed "Woosy". She has been through hades and back, trying to impart to Ubi-Montreal what the community there wants and not really getting any feedback. In this community, thanks to Grin, WE DO get feed back and action from the developers. So, even if a few of us are still "doubters"; I am totally with "you".

GRiN_Bumbi Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I must say that the guess (as well as the whole post) from Peace is the most correct understanding of what will happen to GRAW2 that I've read here so I just had to comment: What road GRIN has chosen, I'd guess, is totally depending on timeframe, cost, directives from UBI, and GRIN's and UBI's overall goal with AW 2 I must also say that I was not aiming to discredit Maltgoblin, but more to confirm that we do read your discussions and to encourage you all to keep posting. We still take those bits of constructive critisim much seriously, and do our best to in one form or another give you all as much as possible of what you want in the game. That is not done in any state of despair - rather done in hope that you will appreciate all that is put in there; but then there of course are some limitations to what we can do, and the factors that decides them are again all in that quote. But if everyone can keep this in mind when judging GRAW2, I think it will recieve a good and fair jugdement in the end. And again - Thanks for all the input and support.

Papa6 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) I think if GRAW2 becomes exactly what the PR folks say it will be, then we are in for a big suprise. I just hope we won't be disappointed. I have to give Grin credit up to now. I know I've been somewhat of an donkey with them because of the GRAW situation. I guess I should be more forgiving. I am not sure about the vehicle for rehealing idea. I'd like to ask Grin if they can make all items toggleable. i guess they call it a mule? whatever it is, it's the vehicle the players can hide behind and reload with etc. toggle it off/on as they did with kit restrictions in GRAW. I hope with the development of the game engine like they say they have will drop the lag issue in game. Grin, keep up the great work! Added: one question if Bumbi or someone else can answer this(of Grin), if UBIsoft is overseeing the game all together, why don't they add the UBI.com gaming system instead of Gamespy? i have alot more respect for ubi.com gaming system then Gamespy ANYDAY!

EricJ Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 ^Flagstaff2 Don't you think that you are setting yourself up for a tortured, frustratingly long wait. When have these forums ever agreed on anything? I actually agree with him, since I'm doing the wait and see approach to ArmA right now. So far I haven't heard too much good (though I'm sure it's worth it in some ways) about it, as far as playability, so I'm holding back. In a sense I'm going to do the same for GRAW 2, sorta lurk until I get a feel for it through the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricJ Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Just bored really, seeing what's going on as usual 'round these parts.

feld Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Not unless it becomes OGR2. Myself and my friends are highly disappointed in this game. Highly. GRiN, I know you're hearing conflicting information. Some people want their OGR2, some want their GRAW2. Here's the real deal. If you make OGR2, I can GUARANTEE you that you will find a larger fanbase than there ever has been for GRAW. Remember that cash cow [GR] was? You can bring all those people back to your product if you just give them what they want. There are more people in this world that want OGR2 than want GRAW2. It's as simple as that. I won't be buying it unless the demo shows me it's OGR2. Buying GRAW was the biggest videogame purchasing mistake I've ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
