Ooooh, you lost me at Ubisoft.
It’s gonna be live service traaaash 🎶
- I sang this to the tune of Zach Morris is Trasaash
Why would we be excited or happy about this? They can still cancel it at any moment. It's not real until it's released.
- Even then it's only real while you're continuing to pay for the privilege to play
- And even if it's released it could be shit anyway.
It's really hard to be excited because of Ubi.
They'll market it as some hardcore, gritty milsim but yet still feels so arcadey to appeal to the masses.
I get it, more mass appeal = more money =soul lost.
And I can confirm that I Won't Be Playing It because Ubisoft blows chunks.
- Ubisoft has some great older IPs that I wish would find itself in another company's hands, though that will never happen.
You can lease it for at least a year before we shut it down...
Give us one last proper Splinter Cell send-off while Michael Ironside is still alive, you cowards. A "final job" with a retiring Sam Fisher would be an amazing setup for a game. Not that I trust Ubisoft to pull it off, mind. But we can dream.
- Michael has had a hard decade or so and a lot of indications are that he already can't be "Sam".
  At which point you basically just have the GR Wildlands (?) mission where he talks to you for like 30 seconds.
  
  I thought he beat cancer and was back to acting? He couldn't do Sam Fisher in his prime anymore, but maybe an old Sam on his last legs? Though I guess the clock is ticking even for that.
- What if they want to use the branding again in the future? They will do a gatcha mobile game with a never ending story. Don't forget to try your luck on getting the Assassin's Creed collab!
They saw how popular Ready or Not was and thought to themselves "didn't we used to make a game like that?"
- Yeah, it was Rainbow Six, not Ghost Recon lol.
  
  I seem to recall Ghost recon being adjacent. At least in the early days.
- How is Ready or Not popular? It's such a potato SWAT ripoff.
  
  SWAT 4 came out 20 years ago
  
  It's the only swat style game (with Ground Branch) at the moment. And it's quite fun.
Oh, Ubisoft? The big famous sex crimes company?
- Yes, ubisoft, the one game over and over and over and over and over again company
  
  Yes, ubisoft, the not your game company
Wasn't Ghost Recon third person?
That scared of rainbow six was fucking first person but thats now esports hero shooter swill
- The original Ghost Recon games in the 1990s and early 2000s were first person and more outdoor/wilderness oriented than Rainbow 6.
  The latest 2, Wildlands and Breakpoint, are third person but still great games.
  A lot of people like myself complained about the third person. So this is giving the OG hardcores what they want, could be a good thing in spite of Ubisoft.
  
  The first Ghost Recon game I played was on the GameCube... well i'll be damned. Could be a good thing
