Ghost Recon: Wildlands is The Far Cry We Didn’t Ask For | CGM

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is back for it's first full fledged title in years. Titled Wildlands, this upcoming Ubisoft title changes the series formula to something more action centric.

Game play looked interesting, but I've been hurt by Ubi before...

[mad-dog]

Go with your gut-feeling. The irrational Ubi hate is for sheeps. Ubi got the message and moved on.

I loved Ghost Recon Future Soldier 1&2 so I'm hyped about this game also. I even had the Ghost Recon 360 controller (which was awesome!) - https://www.estarland.com/i...

The demo on their E3 conference was a bit underwhelming though. Hopefully the full game is better than what was shown there.

[zerocarnage]

Agreed I enjoyed all the ghost recons..

[KyRo]

It's another game that going to follow the same old Ubisoft formula like it has done for the past God knows how many years

Open world
Average campaign
Millions of side missions (all consisting of about 4 activities)
Collectables (to make the game seem longer)
Make sure it plays the same as Far Cry, AC, The Divison, Watchdogs.

Ubisoft have literally zero creativity lately outside of Rayman and them 2D side scrollers that I can't remember the name of off the top of my head

[Psychotica]

Not sure what else there is to do in an open world besides a million side missions and collectables. I mean it would be a little out of place if you could go on these missions then go bowling with your cousin afterwards.

And that doesn't bother me at all. I don't understand the obsession with 100% of games needing to be completely new and innovative. Sometimes I just want to play something that improves on previous formulas that I already know I like. I'm giving Ubi a chance on this, I really liked the previous ghost recon games.

When you play SP will you play it tactical like the first 2 or will your teammates just be there? I've yet to figure this out

[iceman06]

They've stated that your AI teammates will be there and stay "out of the way" until you engage in combat. They also said that you can command them (I'm assuming in the same way as previous Ghost Recon games).

[zerocarnage]

Speak for yourself, I'm looking forward to it. God Damn critics, reviewers and one minded drones who listen. Give games a damn chance ffs instead of pulling everything to bits and trying to lure the drones who can't think for themselfs into hating on what you obviously have already decided to crap on.

My preference I'll choose, I enjoy Clancy and ubi games. I wished they'd bring endwars back..

[MilkMan]

I love Ghost Recon, I love Ubi for various reasons even though they've done some weird things in the past.
But this new Ghost R, just doesn't seem to jive with me. I wouldn't mind the open world, sandbox approach if I knew I could solo this thing and from the looks of it, you cannot. Took 4 dudes to bring down the assailant in the demo. I want to see how this plays out solo.

[Psychotica]

You can solo with 3 AI teammates.

Wish Rainbow Six Siege was better and had a campaign instead of having another coop far cry like game

[ScorpiusX]

Maybe they should have continued with Patriot instead of Siege .

I've always liked GR, even if the running mechanic feels like it stops on a slide. I'm definitely excited about this open world version. Probably should go back and finish the campaign to Future Soldier.

[Psychotica]

Yep, if it doesn't play exactly as the last one it must suck..smh

[ScorpiusX]

Speak for yourself , this game looks awesome and I look forward to it .

[sarlucic]

Looking forward to this, ubisoft is one of the few developers that still make AAA co-op games. It looks like fun to play with friends, which sadly, is something you almost get to do anymore. Even The Division was fun for the first 80-100 or so hours, it turned in to a awful mess later on, but is probably one of the best games i played this year just because it had a solid co-op "story".

[Kreisen]

I think the game looked like alot of fun. Although i do admit Ubisoft games are starting to become dangerously similar.

[Lamboomington]

btw, hate to say this, but the screenshots in the article are from the reveal trailer. Take a look at the reveal trailer and look at the second trailer and the gameplay footage. Downgraded as expected.

Everything in general has been watered down, especially the draw distances, shadow LODs etc. Ofc, Ubi was running a ridiculously upscaled (not talking about resolution) version for the trailer. It'd be okay if they actually provided those options on PC, it'd be fine, but no, they'd never do that. Why give people the option to have it look good if they have the hardware ? That'd be ridiculous, wouldn't it ?

[OutcastMosquito]

If it's anything like GRAW then I'll bite.

[Pongwater]

If it's Far Cry with 4 player co-op then it is in fact the Far Cry I asked for. What I've seen doesn't remind me of Far Cry though
