Sup Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Wow. Ubisoft's marketing team seriously needs to hire someone who can recognize terrible writing. Or maybe just hire a competent writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5timechamp Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 you think thats bad? I got a "are you suffering from ghost recon withdrawal this winter? try endwar". cant say i will completely disown the series since there have been times when something truly good can be delivered when least expected.....that being said im not exactly optimistic. ps. this isnt an attack on the devs. who generally put in hard work with the best of intentions....the problem is that with this tie in the series now becomes a cog in the larger "clancy" machine.....this more than anything dictates what the game will likely become.

BS PALADIN Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 The developers are good people who are more than capable of producing a great Ghost Recon title. But the head twats at Ubisoft are tying their hands with this Endwar nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa6 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) this game end war reminds me of a superior version of command & conquer. a RTS. All I can say about GR and splintercell.. maybe a fiscal year of desolate sales will get someones attention.

krise madsen Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Try reading the Rainbow Six one. Truly awful. Amost as bad as the GR one. Respectfully krise madsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR6 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Try reading the Rainbow Six one. Truly awful. Amost as bad as the GR one. Man, those were painful to read. Methinks Ubi is trying to emulate the success of COD4, but this convoluted storytelling just sounds plain goofy. Good thing a good proportion of people who play these games couldn't care less about story. Ubi could save a whole lot of money and fan complaints if they just axed the whole plot and gave us some solid levels with pretty next-gen graphics. And whoever wrote the R6 story obviously didn't read the novels or play the older games. Lots of glaring inconsistencies (for the few of us who they hope don't notice these things ): - Logan was not on the team when Dieter Weber was rescued in Lockdown - Half of team Rainbow wasn't blown up, it was a Russian Spetznaz team in The Bear and the Dragon novel - I'm surprised if Ubi is allowed to use Fred Franklin from the novel in the game - Clancy never allowed any further characters from the novel into the games since Eagle Watch - And guys like Arnavisca and Haider would be almost 50 years-old by 2019 - I don't think Rainbow would pay them enough to keep them from retiring. You know how most videogames get butchered by Hollywood when they try to make a movie based on a game? Looks like we don't have to wait for the R6 movie anymore - Ubi is doing a fine job on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beonder13 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Latest rumor mole in OXM... GRAW 3 mentioned for 2009... we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS PALADIN Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 If it were being released in March next year then we would already have heard about it. Expect at least 6 months hype/advertising time before a big games release. Autumn 2009 is a safer bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleaneasy Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Latest rumor mole in OXM... GRAW 3 mentioned for 2009... we shall see. The rumour moles claimed a release in march of this year which didn’t happen, not to mention the many other rumoured dates come and gone, I'm not saying you won’t hear anything next year but I am saying that such an announcement hasn’t been planned as yet and anyone saying otherwise is likely guessing just as much as those who confirmed their rumours would prove true in march gone yet never did. In short its rumour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methz68 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Ok, in your personal opinion do you think Red Storm will release A new Recon in 2009? A yes or no will surfice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

methz68 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Not the answer I was looking for, anyway you seem to be on the UBI denial tip. There are a few things that lead us to believe there is going to be a new recon, graw. Red Storm arent on holiday they are busy working on a title. one of their guys even talks about a yet to be announced title in a video on Red Storms website, one of the guys working on endwar let slip about a new recon game. Come on you know as well as I do there is going to be a new recon game. Watch the rumor turn in to fact in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krise madsen Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 FWIW, and in the spirit of Ubi bashing only when Ubi bashing is due, I found the original Rainbow Six story utterly silly too (albeit an excellent excuse for missions all over the world). The same with the [Ghost Recon], even if it did prove alarmingly prophetic. Respectfully krise madsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beonder13 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 And why is the title of this thread Gr4? The GRAW storyline is far from over... but that doesn't mean they cant FIX IT and make it more TACTICAL... the way it once was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaniard Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Clancy never allowed any further characters from the novel into the games since Eagle Watch Minor detail -- we used Tawney and Stanley in Lockdown. This was their first appearance in an R6 game, to my knowledge. Trivial, I know. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR6 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hey Spaniard, good to see you around still I just checked the link in your sig and realized you aren't with RSE/Ubi anymore Minor detail -- we used Tawney and Stanley in Lockdown. This was their first appearance in an R6 game, to my knowledge. Trivial, I know. Sorry! I stand corrected! Thanks for the reminder. Now that you mention it, I thought Lockdown had a lot of cool touches that were overlooked, including more characters from the original R6 novel showed up for the first time in the game: specifically Rainbow Five Rocky Stanley and Blackhawk helicopter pilot: Dan "Bear" Malloy. What bugs me is how Ubi is now pretending Lockdown didn't exist in their R6 retrospective on their "Tom Clancy 10th Anniversary" promotion.

spaniard Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hey Spaniard, good to see you around still Thanks! I just checked the link in your sig and realized you aren't with RSE/Ubi anymore Went mercenary a few years back. Now that you mention it, I thought Lockdown had a lot of cool touches that were overlooked... Thanks! and Blackhawk helicopter pilot: Dan "Bear" Malloy. Oh, right! I forgot about Bear. Yeah, the lead designer was a big fan of the novel, and it was his idea to bring in all of those characters. What bugs me is how Ubi is now pretending Lockdown didn't exist in their R6 retrospective on their "Tom Clancy 10th Anniversary" promotion. C'est la guerre.

Fletch Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'm sorry but if they tie GR4 in to End War I won't be buying it. I can not stand End War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
