Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier E3 Game Play Demo


Ghost Recon, part of the legendary Tom Clancy modern warrior franchise at Ubisoft, is about to push into the next generation by unveiling Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier The game, which debuts in 2012, is going to be a heavy hitter for the company for the holiday season.

The game has been in the works for a few years. It uses a new graphics engine with better-looking imagery and it is another example of how Ubisoft is focusing on beefing up its game quality. The game will be like other future Ubisoft games in another respect; it will have as yet-unannounced social features that will get players to play with their friends and become more engaged with the product.

This modern combat game series has a reputation as a thinking person’s shooting game. The whole concept has been that a squad of properly equipped soldiers with intelligence and technology can beat a force of a much larger size. With Future Soldier — the fourth game in the series — the franchise is pushing further into the future than past games, which means gamers get access to cooler technology.
While other games reward players for speed and kills, Future Soldier will reward cunning soldiers who work together in teams. Ghost Recon Future Soldier will appear on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next year.

Ubisoft 25th Anniversary hits with New FryCry3 in 2012




Ubisoft kicks in their 25th Anniversary with a new FryCry

The Gameplay that they showed in the press conference showed new ways of killing the enemy from Jumping off a cliff and stabbing a person through the heart to controlling an AI using your gun point blank at the helicopter pilot while shooting the rest of enemies.

Another release that Ubisoft is bringing to us is a new type of World War II game called "The Furious Four". wear Team fortress meets Inglourious Basterds and looks kickass to boot. The people who made the Brothers in Arms games took a different spin on this and made a comical slant on the war buddies genre with a drastic turn from the usually somber military shooter, which could separate it from the glut of similar-looking games. Sadly, because there was no actual demo this was all pre-rendered, it’s impossible to know how the actual game will play until it we see a playable demo, but at least it’s different from other games in the genre.


Next is a film-inspired game, named The Adventures of TinTin, where Steven Spelberg and Peter Jackson talk about how the book came to be a video game.

UBISOFT LEADS WITH NEW ASSASSINS CREED


Ubisoft previews are kicking in with their previews for the Holiday Season. Assassins Creed Revelations. Assassin's Creed may be a game about exploring the past but it's time Ubisoft turned its attention to the future – not least because we're unsure Desmond Miles can handle another cliffhanger ending, but Ubisoft doesn't care and are putting another one on the line with their Bad Boy Ezio, Desmond and even original hero Altair are in the mix . While the name of the game may be Revelations, for this lot it might as well be called Closure. Ezio, who is a little older and greyer but seemingly no less acrobatic, is in town on the trail of Templar baddies like we didn't know that one was coming. On a pilgrimage to Altair's home city of Masayaf – the series' starting point – he is assailed by the Templars and discovers they are seeking five seals that are needed to unlock a library hidden beneath the city, where Altair has buried a weapon of great magnitude. Four of those seals are located in Constantinople and the fifth is in the possession of the Templars. Demo looks nice and looks like another winner but we will see in the future what this hit series holds.

A Krap load of Kinect titles and other stuff...

There have been some big unveilings from the microsoft keynote this year the from games to dashboard updates. For me the Halo anniversary editions was the biggest news but for most the biggest news is all the new stuff for the Kinect.


Starting with EA they are making a giant leap to the Kinect. Unless I am wrong the first A1 title to have Kinect support is Mass Effect 3 it will support gesture control and voice recognition make the last in the series hopefully great then it already will be...

Also hitting the 360 with standard support and Kinect support is Minecraft this is that sort of cubr craft game that is all the rage online and honestly I cant wait here is a screenshot of the game..


Forza 4 made an appearance at the keynote along with a release date. Look forward to the hardcore racer this October 11.


Last and certainly not the least for Kinect and the new dashboard update is the addition of Youtube and Mickey Mouse Kinect both are scheduled for this fall and I am actually looking forward to both of them..



Until Next Time Geeks...
