Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
polycounter lvl 20
So one of the features we've talked about for the new website is a "TOTY" award - Trailer of the Year award. Were there videos released prior to a game launch that had us more excited for that game than any other?
It seems silly - why not review the whole game - but we're an art site and cutting an excited video and showing the user the game in 90 seconds, we think, is an art on to itself.
Right now, the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier trailer could be a contender.
It doesn't have a lick of in-game stuff, but its still a very exciting trailer.

By the way, anyone else automatically think "Combine" soldiers when you saw the dudes with the white masks in the opening? Haha
Once a gameplay trailer is released, I think there will be a new appreciation for this trailer as well.
p.s. buy it.
edit: came off a bit high and mighty... It wasn't terrible, and a lot of people probably won't notice, but some of the squibs and muzzleflashes especially looked bad. The action was cool, and overall it was really well put together.
Until Ubisoft remove that draconian drm thats plauged their recent titles I won't be buying any of their games.
Trailer was pretty cool, didn't really like how they just stand while shooting at everything at the end, they are bad ass elite ghost dudes, but you'd think they'd still hide a bit behind cover.
Jonathan, Geezus, you guys at Redstorm?
Yeah, we're at RSE, Bal. bonjour!
I guess I'll pick this one up. Support the locals and what not. :P
Actually, this is all the Paris studio. We're just providing some support here and there. They've really done a great job with it, so you should still pick it up!
And back on the OP, stop with the "new site" tease balling.
Maybe I am a bit of a purist but I really miss the original direction of Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon of years past.
This trailer is just popcorn flick cheese. It will definitely get the majority of the market excited, but is it really a contender for an artistically fantastic trailer ?
Blizzard Cinematic trailers would definitely deserve the visual accolades and Kojima's in-game trailers are beautifully framed and cut.
unless the ghosts are fighting against mechs i will be disappointed with this FUTURE SOLDIER direction.
if the ghosts are fighting against mechs i will buy it twice.
Certainly. There's not many live-action trailers out there of this calibre. I could easily say that Blizzard intros are cheesy CG fantasy, couldn't I? Trying to be objective with the idea, not subjective.
I am talking strictly from a film perspective. Sure, there arent many live-action trailers out there this year but I didnt even consider this anything close to being the best.
EDIT: All I am saying is this is one of many neat trailers I've seen.
I actually think the Red Dead Redemption trailers are the best I've seen but they aren't artistic in any shape. They're just the best way to do a trailer, IMO.
I enjoyed quite a lot of it, but the rest...god damnit.
I hate how people always fall for this bait, that computer systems will look all 'wooshy' and slick, the bit down the sniper scope just made me cringe.
No. Nobody will ever want to see all that information when looking down a scope, maybe if it synced to another device or whatever but meh. I just hate seeing this shit all the time.
The bit where they're all lined up behind that wall and shooting was incredibly cheesy, i don't see why anyone would do this, it looks so silly, especially for a game that has built it's reputation around being very tactical.
The gritty stuff and the cloak thing was cool though, also liked the drone thing patrolling the streets.
And hexagons. Can't be scifi without hexagons.
You wouldnt want your target highlighted in red? wait what?
I thought it was an awesome trailer. I kinda worked on it but then in the end I did not at all because of stuff...
The original Ghost Recon was heads-up-display hell, not sure if this is really that much of a stretch.
?????
But tbh, I played the last GRAW game ata friends house, didn't find it very enoyable. Slow, difficult, enemies have insane accuracy. I definitely prefered RS:Vegas over it at that time, my friend agreed.
1 - that looks like shit. irrelevant to my point, but im saying it anyway!
2 - i remember it being nothing but player deltas and coloured this-and-thats. Maybe I am thinking of Recon 2 co-op? I can't remember. Where's the mini map?
Maybe

(the two version of graw, gr3)
?
gr1's hud was ugly, yes, but it was out of the way.
Well, it's the origin of the 'fuck hexagons!' viewpoint in the ghost recon/tom clancy game community, so it's a pretty awful example!
but yeah that shit was so obnoxious, this doesnt look any worse.
The new reinvention of the franchise reminds me way too much of Universal Soldier
Ok i was a bit harsh, most of it is fine, but go to 1:10 in the vid
That's what i meant, all that crap on the left side. Although it's only for a moment so i guess it drew too much of my attention.
Awesome live action trailer, i take back 'most' of what i said, guess i was just in a stereotype hating mood when i last posted
rawr!
Loading up a map with around 20 'copters and going at it with rocket launchers was pretty fun, too.
Give me a break.
Whoo! Go Stu!
Why didn't they have drone with some AT-Weapon and let it do the job?
Anyway: I like the trailer overall.
But the shoulder-cannons are annoying as hell. Everytime I see them I get this predator taste in a negative sense.
Imagine your 15. Your dad comes into your room and says,
"Hey son, now, I know you're turning 16 in a year and you'll finally be able to drive. I went ahead and bought you a brand new 911 Turbo. I put the keys in a bulletproof glass safe in the living room. Once you're 16, we'll open the safe and take her for a spin. Love ya!"
you sumumabiotch :P
I dig the interview and the gameplay looks awesome. That co-op should be killer man. Totally my style.
The second was a travesty because it went console.. dumbed down and the worst of all "you're leaving the mission area". I stopped playing at that point and traded it for something else. It could have been so much more but was a pile of shit instead.
Now the new one I saw invisible guys.. rockets firing from a grunts back and killing a tank and what the hell is with the drones? And I find it funny that the sniper is still using a Barrett with all that high tech stuff..and an old sniper rifle shouldn't it be a sniper rifle that teleports the bullet from the muzzle straight through to the middle of the targets head? -.-
bloody garbage...
end rant
I download the pre-charge, and when i'm going to play it... what the heck, the game is totally broken for PC! I can't use the keyboard nor the mouse... and it has too many glitches and bugs. The worst money i have ever spent in a game in my whole life. I hope they solve all the bugs asap or i will ask for a refund.
It's incredible... 3 studios working in a game for almost 5 years for this SHIT? C'mon...
I'm the only one here that bought the game?¿
