Ubisoft has a string of titles set to launch alongside the 3DS, but Driver Renegade will arrive later in the year. VideoGamer spoke to Ubisoft senior producer Nouredine Abboud about the new game, its features and the Driver brand.
Executive producer Nouredine Abboud explained that, while Wildlands was about the world, this is about the characters within it.
Wildlands had an extremely generic and throwaway story (like all recent ubsioft games) so we'll see. They hyped up the first wildlands' story too so I'm not convinced. The last ubisoft game with a good story was Splinter Cell Conviction
Quiz time: You are sent in a helicopter with your team to the enemy territory to investigate an alleged criminal activity. Your helicopter is shot down and most of your team is dead, the rest scattered across the map. When you wake up you notice you're still in the helicopter wreck hanging upside down. The enemy is chasing you. You are wounded but manage to escape. Then you meet an old guy with a map. You embark on a journey consisting of picking up flowers, chatting to some generic NPCs, finding items almost evenly distributed across the map, driving any parked vehicles that are never locked and skipping one cringeworthy dialogue after another.
The tile of the game is:
A) Ghost Recon: Breakpoint
B) Ubisoft Default Game Template
C) Far Cry 5
D) All of the above
Massive size and depth are two clear elements in Ghost Recon Wildlands. The things you can do seem endless and the game's visuals look exquisite.
from what i saw with the Digital Foundry analysis........, HELL NO.
@smolinsk
yeah, the beta on ps4 pro, and digital foundry analysis is on retail version/ps4 pro and pc too.
the graphics are not really that great even on a high end pc. i do hope the final product is a lot better than the beta.
is funny how some developers that aren't first party developers of Sony talked in how they are pushing to the limit the console but probably don't have ice team support, but putting this thing aside Wildlands it does look pretty damn good( the open beta on normal PS4).
The Division 2.0
Been a long time now since Ubisoft has put out a really stellar game. FC3 was the last to come to mind. I'm pretty much good on ALL of Ubisofts future titles. Give us something innovative and quit tarnishing franchises with the idea that massive coop scale is going to be awesome. Frankly it's not and Grand Theft Auto did a way better job years ago.
I dunno I thought Far Cry: Primal was pretty good. That was the last Ubisoft game that I really really enjoyed playing.
But that could of just been because it ditched the guns and stuff for more primitive weapons.
Not just that but also ac syndicate which was really good and watchdogs 2 that was great
Rainbow Six Siege is pretty amazing. Not a perfect one and it lacks many things that made the series awesome, but the multiplayer is tight.
Pushing the limits of what Ubisoft are willing to do more like.
Expect downgrades and beta type glitches day one.
I'm not buying this til reviews hit, the beta was rather good though, parts of it reminded me of the awesome Mercenaries game for some reason.
Ghost Recon Wildlands takes place in the massive open-world of Bolivia. Gamers will be able to turn this expansive land into the playground of their dreams.
GTA:O says "Hi", to this wannabe tactical shooter which is actually a run n gun shooter
Well it depends how you want to play. I play it very stealthy and try to use my Squad in different ways. If you want to run and gun, thats up to you.
Ubisoft is a joke. I'd understand this statement if they came up with Horizon Zero Dawn or even said that about For Honor but for Wildlands they just copied The Division into the setting of MGS5 and are seriously calling this a game "like no other"?
hey Ubi ....even the retarded can say that you just copy-pasted MGS V ...adding realistic equipment-scenarios , cursing obnoxious females and 4 player coop doesnt a make a game prototype
I like Metal Gear 5 and Wildlands seems to be a little similar.
GTA is too realistic in story which makes it boring
i did and it still is.
the game has its major issues, i should not be able to kill someone with one headshot while it take 10 bullets to kill me.
I shouldn't ahve to worry about shooting enemies from a bush and them knowing exactly where i am in the bush. the guillie suit should actually work!
you want tactical gameplay, go play Socom and them come back to this BS division in the woods
I did. Still too easy. This isn't a ghost recon game just like future soldier wasn't.
They've veered so far from what the franchise is.
I started playing ghost recon on the very first game. This isn't ghost recon.
GTA:O isn't a tactical shooter either. Why are you comparing the two when they are nothing alike?
Oh right, only GTA online has the right to exist as an open world run and gun game.
No, but because this game is as tactical as GTAO. It's practically a run n gun shooter with gimmicks to make you feel you are working tactics, while in reality, the AI sucks, you are OP, you can run n gun. This game is as tactical as Assassin's Creed was a stealth game
Wildlands is tactical and strategic you obviously didn't play on ghost mode and have no intentions on buying the game so why are you here, don't compare this game to gta online totally different gunplay is better and the map is literally 3 and a half of gta's map including the water
Does size matter if 60% of the map is empty? Really? Dammit, no wonder the game developers do not put effort into intricately making the world, when people are satisfied with half hearted work.
As for difficulty, no, I didn't play on that, but on Hard mode it is a run n gun shooter, so that makes me think, how difficult ghost setting will be? Nah....
Gunplay is better? Don't kid me. They literally took it up from Watch Dogs 2 which had taken up the shooting from GTA V. Also the driving in Ghost Recon is just p*ss-poor. Don't really care about world size if they are going to leave most of it empty.
I know I'm off topic but I need a little help
Can someone recommend a non biased tv review site?
I just got a 65" Sony Bravia x850d. My intentions was to buy the ks8000 but the guy assured me that the Sony tv was the way to go but damn near every single review I can find online says the ks8000 is the best led.. I'm thinking of bringing it back for the ks8000.
Don't buy sony they are over priced and use the same exact pieces that samsung use, get a samsung or lg
Get the KS8000 and nothing less (for the price at least). The Sony IS good but the KS is just better...especially for HDR uses.
www.RTings.com is a great site for reviews and you'll see that by their testing the Samsung KS8000 (and higher series) are only really bested by LG OLED TV's.
Believe me, both a close friend and myself bought TV's recently and researched for weeks. KS series hands down if OLED isn't doable.
Edit:
RTings Review for the 55 inch version of your TV:

They're review for the 55 inch Samsung KS8000:
http://www.rtings.com/tv/re...
Nearly everything is better with the Samsung. Better contrast, better color, better HDR, better and brighter backlighting, better input lag.
The guy you talked too is either a liar or VERY uninformed.
Playing with a friend was a lot of fun. Was good on the hardest difficulty. Its not a perfect game, but thats not a great reason to cry. Its a game thats fun with friends. Im not sure its a great sp game in anyway but thats fine.
@TheOptimist That's exactly what a friend thought it was of the gameplay I showed him from E3 last year.
So you think GTA:O is comparable to Wildlands? Aside from being online there really isn't much in common at all. Not in feel, look, vibe, story, design...Nothing.
The thing that is common, is that both games (In GTAO heists) require minimal tactical operations. In Ghost Recon, tactical is not a need, it is a want. You are not forced to be tactical, you have to be tactical to look more badass, not do the mission efficiently and that's where Ghost Recond fails miserably. In tactical games, tactics should forced on the player so he/she doesn't run n gun, not the case with this game.
How DARE they appeal to both the run and gunners and the stealth enthusiasts at the same time!
At least GTA allows player to choose b/w fully FP or third. Ubi forces shitty FP when game could have been a decent TP option for players.
You're so full of shit. Wildlands is nothing like GTA Online and is FAR from a "run and gun" shooter. Even playing on medium I was constantly getting gunned down by enemies I hadn't even spotted in some cases! No, this game is not that easy...even on easy. And this is coming from someone that's been a Clancy fan since the beginning and has been playing these games very WELL for years.
While this certainly isn't the most tactical or realistic Recon game ever it's certainly no casual dude-bro shooter like you're trying to make it out to be.
"It is clearly a fact no other game is a pure military shooter, an open world and has this fully seemless drop in drop out coop." Title is misleading but it's true no other game is like this.
I wouldn't say it's misleading, just that 90% of the people looking to pick a fight are going to take it the way they want. "A pure military shooter, an open world and has this fully seemless drop in drop out coop.", is what GR Wildlands is, so that makes the title valid.
Me personally, I enjoyed the beta and I am looking forward to playing with friends on the 7th. It's not a GR game like I wanted, but it seems to be a better experience than The Division, but time will tell. I didn't go all in and do the "season pass" nonsense this time though. The co-op is what makes it worth it to me, that and it's similarity to FarCry 4, which I enjoyed but wished for more players in co-op.
Same here, I want that military coop action and for it to be in a massive open world with different environments. What more can you ask for? And after updates and patches to fix things that may arise along with dlc it's going to be fun im sure of that.
I do agree, but not that its anything similar to Far Cry 4. I went back to FC4 after the beta because I wanted just a little more sneaky action, and wanted to try the coop with keys of kyrat, with my friend who I played the Wildlands beta with.
Far Cry games havent been serious since 2, and they lack a complete layer of stealth and tactics that Wildlands had. The only things that are similar to GR:W, were the way open world worked (raiding outposts for missions/equipment), the quirkyness and some awkward AI behavior/mechanics (like them being limited by draw distance to relatively close to your location), and that they are both Ubi games, so they share similar open world tropes.
As a sidenote, I do wish Far Cry was much more serious similar to Wildlands, and wanted Wildlands to be even better, but the way it currently is, is fine.
Arma Wasteland is not only like that, but it's probably a much better game too
Drop in and drop out coop with a open world was saints row 2 even mercenaries 2 world in flames had that.
Or you can play mgs peace walker 4 player coop
drop in drop out coop has been around for a good 10 years mgs 5 would have also had this kojima had it made it was in early bulds but konami rushed that game thats why you see it now in mgs survive.
none of those are a military shooter in an open world with coop. they said that is what their game is and it's correct. yes each one has part of that but none have all of that. It's like saying you have the best smart phone because it does all of this stuff in one device. then someone else saying it's all been done before on other devices. Yes but not all in one.
I only played an hour of the beta so my impression is limited. But in that time it felt like i was playing far cry 4.
