Pave Low Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Ubisoft are now showing the release date for the Xbox 360 + PS3 versions as March 2012 (this is just a refinement of the original announcement of "Fiscal 4th Quarter 2012" - which in calender time is Jan/Feb/Mar 2012) But as usual there is no mention of the PC version and the PC boxart is notably absent from the updated "end credits" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 i would say the reson PC isnt mentioned is because it probably has another release date. i guess about june-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossix Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Hmmm. To be honest i doubt they will released the PC version...kinda sad UBISOFT dont care about PC Gamers being these the truly fans of GR. Later guys and lets hope they will release the PC version for the TRULY FANS. PS: think the PC version will be Ghost Recon Online Edited June 12, 2011 by Pave Low Posts Moved to the PC discussion forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 honestly though, if they dont release GRFS on PC i will be hacked off, but not as hacked off because i have an Xbox 360 there. but PC gamers are hungry, and they need feeding too. i can imagine that perhaps they have something else in store for PC GRFS and probably differs greatly from the console versions. (like GRAW did) so maybe they didnt add the PC in because of said differences? or am i being optimistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pave Low Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Hi Mike, welcome to the site PS: think the PC version will be Ghost Recon Online No, GR:O is a completely separate IP, so we will still get GR: O regardless of if we get a PC FS or not Hmmm. To be honest i doubt they will released the PC version...kinda sad UBISOFT dont care about PC Gamers being these the truly fans of GR. We hope they will, but are at a complete loss to understand their total aversion to talking about the PC version. only thing we can think to explain it is an internal rivalry at Ubi with 360/PS3 version and that part of the company is lobbing for the embargo on the PC until the 360/PS3 version is out But yes it really is bizarre behavior, to smother one of your own product (and cut out over a third of your customers) in favor of one from a different internal team normally companies are proud of their products and constantly singing it's praises in an effort to drive customer enthusiasm for sales not to work on sometime for over 2 years and then just sling it on the table one-day and go "Oh OK then, there you go, buy it" I've moved discussion on the "Blue circles" to a separate thread as it's off-topic for discussion on the release date and is something that really deserves it's own discussion thread http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=56972 Edited June 12, 2011 by Pave Low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApexMods Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The lack of information about a PC release can no longer be seen as a simple oversight or marketing tactics. I think it is an alarming development, and by now I am all but convinced that Ubisoft will cancel Future Soldier for PC altogether. How in the world they could come up with this ludicrous plan, I have no idea though. Because Ubisoft's initiative to introduce Ghost Recon Online as PC exclusive hinted at a new found focus and gave hope to the existing PC fan base, which in turn bought them back some positive sentiment with the PC gamer crowd. Now they appear to just throw all that away again. Ubisoft's announcement of PC focus and exclusivity for GRO has already been proven false advertising with their subsequent Wii U announcement, which is a marketing blunder of incredible proportions by itself, but to cancel GR:FS for PC would probably be the final nail in the coffin of Ubisoft's relationship with their PC customers. Even Ubisoft cannot be so completely removed from reality to not foresee the catastrophic outcome of another PC release cancellation in the Ghost Recon series. They might as well just close up shop.

Pave Low Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 has no one yet asked Kimi? already posted several times before in other topics that She "cant talk about it yet" PS3 and 360: same dev team, same release date, same content PC info details coming at a later time Take from that what you will... as said above for some incomprehensible reason Ubi seem have an embargo on even talking about the PC version, probably until the 360+PS3 versions are released They don't even list the PC version in the Ubi store If it weren't for a few tiny crumbs, it would be hard to tell they were even working on a PC version.

Zeealex Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 PS3 and 360: same dev team, same release date, same content PC info details coming at a later time Take from that what you will... which goes back to what i said earlier i can imagine that perhaps they have something else in store for PC GRFS and probably differs greatly from the console versions. (like GRAW did) so maybe they didnt add the PC in because of said differences so much so it's false advertising showing PC version on the trailers? or am i being optimistic? i'm wondering if the PC version may have more of a focus if i'm honest. i think it's out there but maybe they want to keep us in the dark for as long as they see fit. i'm beginning to think we (PC Gamers) Might have a new GRFS to look forward to.

ApexMods Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Well, if they pulled off releasing a surprise hardcore GR for PC gamers in return for canceling GRFS I'd be all for it, of course. But the GRO fiasco with the sudden Wii U inclusion has me doubt this now. There's always this ongoing PR talk about "back to the roots" and "focus on core values" and then we get kicked in the face with another Ubisoft blunder. This is really getting old fast, and I am once again beginning to loose all my patience with them. Come on, Ubisoft! You must have SOME strategy, so why not share a bit of info with your customers for a change, to try and rebuild some trust. From where I'm sitting this is something urgently needed in our relationship, as many of your fans are already on the verge of filing divorce. You may get the kids, put I'm sure we'd keep the house and the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operative Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 This is what Ubi will get if they cancel PC FS: mass migration to BF3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operative Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yep. Players waiting for the PC release, seeing it vanishing, will simply buy BF3, that would come earlier anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 yeah, i'm buying it regardless but, i will hype more over this like i KEEP on saying. The PC version will come, even if it's unofficial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101459 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Well, after considering the facts that: the PC logo, and PC box shots have started disappearing from all new GR:FS marketing copy, that a PC SKU was listed on Amazon that is now pulled, and that there is no mention of the PC version in E3 presentation or coverage got me curious, because Marketing 1001 would tell anyone this is bad marketing for any intended (or unintended) product for any market, irrespective of release schedule commitments. So, I did a little leg work, or rather a Pally at E3 did... I will confirm nothing, will not name names or sources, and can not vouch for credibility of this information in any way, so, this will have to stand as hearsay/rumor unless or until someone from Ubisoft officially confirms or denies what at least sounds to me like an entirely plausible explanation -- that all plans for a PC SKU have been pulled due to budgetary constraints during a project reboot, and the desire not to see GR:FS compete with GR:O, there is no PC version currently under development or planned, but no one is commenting as Ubisoft does not want to rule out rolling the project on PC depending on financial performance outcomes... Fact or fiction, or someone shilling for the competition? I very much want it to be one of the latter... Edited June 13, 2011 by 101459 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Sounds a bit worrying right enough. PC GRFS Amazon. There is a link to the PC version on that page, if it disappears I guess that will be the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexMods Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Either way, I was hoping to have by now found out that UBI were going to bring out a Mac version, but from the news above I am pretty doubtful that this will ever happen now.

There is a link to the PC version on that page, if it disappears I guess that will be the answer. Well if that isn't something! It was on Amazon months ago, and after a few E3 videos I was sold and searching Amazon daily but could find nothing for PC... Obviously it could have been anything from my ineptness, to sight maintainence, or fog knows what... Regardless, I very much do not want to see a muddle of Fan ire that 'GR:FS isn't OGR' or anything else prevent GR:FS from making an appearance on the PC as happened with Ghost Recon 2, so Amazon has my preorder, fingers are crossed, and we'll see what happens. Considering the steller slow burn sales of Ghost Recon, and even under-performing games on the PC; it's difficult to understand how this could not be a low cost step up from doing one and a half console iterations (due to the shakey state of the PSN) in securing more revenue certainty for the GR:FS....

Here is a Multilayer of the Game... it definitely got Ghost Recon Flavor at this (Kinda love it) {Edit:Thanks but that video is already posted in the Xbox 360 forums (as it's a 360 version video) But once again at the End of the video it PC doesn't appear as platform..

Zeealex Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 take a look at the graw 2 PS3 trailer and you'll see what i mean by what i say (sorry being annoying) then the PC version notice how these two VERY different versions have their own trailer. i have a feeling it will go the same way for FS. and the reason Ubi haven't mentioned it in E3 is because it's still very much a work in progress. but lets wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=warcloud= Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I presume PC gamers will get "free" Ghost Recon Online rather than future soldier?, i'm probaly wrong on that count?, but is Ghost Recon Online also playable on the console?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
