Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter Video Preview

[bapenguin]

360.IGN (http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/736/736206/vids_1.html) has a video preview up of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter for the XBox 360. Lots of new ingame footage is shown and some cool info as well.

On thing worth mentioning is the fact the game is completely seemless. No loading screens at all. You start a mission in a helicopter, get briefed in the helicopter, and then dropped into the mission zone. When the mission ends you get back into a helicopter, debriefed in the helicopter and flown to the next mission zone all with no loading screens.

Release Date: 03/07/2006 (360 (http://www.gametab.com/xbox360/tom.clancys.ghost.recon.advanced.warfighter/4147/))

Damn, after watching this video I'm really psyched for this!

[Borys]

Wow.

I want BF3 too look like that daytime video.

Stunning.

[phantomhitman]

Thanks to the 50 articles of this game this week I will promptly pick this up when its released.

[Spiffae]

damn that narrator is hellaciously annoying. He adds nothing to that video.

[Steele Johnson]

When games like this start coming out, then I will buy a 360. This game looks great!

[StoneGut]

Nice... very very nice!

[Knite]

I
want
it
now


(and the game looks good too) ;-)

This will bring in some gamers who may have been on the fence about purchasing a 360. I'll be picking this game up as well. I'll be mega happy about the lack of loading screens...those things just don't seem natural on the 360.

[Mortis]

Nice thanks for the heads up.

[Vjornaxx]

Yeah, that narrator is funny. It totally sounds like he didn't have what he was going to say planned out and was just winging it.

[Krom]

I love how he was like, uh yeah here we have the bradley tank and it's basically going to own everything you come up against because the enemies forces aren't as powerful as yours.

Dang it, now I gotta actually pre-order it. Has anyone heard anything about the PC version or is it a X360 only?

[BabyJesus]

Looks great, I cannot wait for my pre-order to arrive!

[Paranoia]

I hope they can fix the tearing issue.

According to all the logos on the bottom of the official site it will be cross platform.

So yet another game where I'll wait for the PC version and compare before purchasing for the 360.

The game is coming out on all platforms but its different on every platform. For instance the PC version is strictly FPS and it's supposed to be more "tactical"

I haven't heard much yet on the XBox/PS2 version.

[torrefaction]

God. This game looks absolutely incredible. Anyone who says we're not in the next generation of games is crazy. This is close enough to almost consider as a launch title, and this is the quality we're getting. I'm gunna preorder today.

I hope the PS3 keeps up. Competition is good :).

[Roc Ingersol]

If this was a launch title, I'd have tried way harder to lay hands on a 360.

Interesting. I wonder what that means though. Definately a great looking game and I'll pick it up for either the 360 or the PC based on what the reviewers have to say about the differences between the games. I'm also biased towards the PC for "fps" games but if the 360 version isn't that "FPS"ish then maybe it'd find a home in this gamer's 360 library.

[Busted_Astromech]

I hope to god that the levels are as big and open as they look. A huge city-based tactical shooter? Manna from heaven.

[Sense Field]

I think...after looking at the e3 rendered footage and the final or near final footage...that we are going to see a simular situation with metal gear 4 for ps3. When I look at both of those rendered videos the first thing that comes to mind is "how am I going to play this?" they both look like interactive movies. Now we have GRAW which now in its playable form looks close to that of the rendered movie but compleatly looks like a game...Playable. I am so excited to have this game replace PDZ as the only game i've been playing regularly. 3 more weeks! :D

[EGO]

Been on this thing since I first saw it. Looks awesome and I HATE war games, because frankly... they're tired.

You've only been playing PDZ regularly? You poor bastard. You must not have a decent computer. I have to say that GR3 isn't exceeding my expectations. I wish more information was available on the PC version (such as any footage), but if its similar with regards to graphics it should be what GR2 was supposed to be (which turned out to be shit).
