Ghost Recon: Future Soldier details land

First look at Ubisoft shooter in Official PlayStation Magazine

The first Ghost Recon: Future Soldier details have arrived, via the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine, which is arriving in subscriber's hands later this week.

CVG's seen OPM's eight-page feature on the game - and it's packed with never-before-seen screens and info (most of which we can't print here) that have got us giddy about Ghost Recon all over again.

"The soldier of the future is an F16 on legs," announces OPM's preview, which notes that because most of the fancy tech from the last Ghost Recon is now reality (UAVs, helmet HUDs) Ubisoft's having to push the series forward in Future Solider - and it has.

The next game takes place 10-15 years after Advanced Warfighter and has the Ghosts out to stop an ultranationalist group that's managed to depose the Russian president.

As the game name suggest, the Ghost team are now packing futuristic gear like stealth cloaks (as seen in the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier trailer), armoured ground drones and exo-skeleton legs (to carry more gear).

The latter in particular is a game changer, as it means the Ghosts are now more agile and can jump, roll and generally throw themselves around the battlefield. It also opens the window for close quarters combat, which you'll be seeing a lot of in Future Soldier.

4-Player drop in, drop out co-op is promised and controversially, no squad commands what-so-ever. Character classes also play a pivotal role in the new game, with players receiving specific, unique bonuses for their chosen role (optical camo for Recon, heart sensors for Snipers, shoulder mounted missiles for Commandos).

To read more details on Future Soldier - and see the first ever screenshots - buy the latest issue of Official Playstation Magazine online and get it delivered to your door. Subscribers have it in their hands from today, with the official on-sale date following on March 16.

"The soldier of the future is an F16 on legs" Sounds like..(cough)Metal.....cough(Gear. This serious is a average one in my opinion, not a game I will buy after GRAW 2 let me down. Sad

Congratulations CVG on being the 1st to release any details on GR:FS but please can you confirm whether this is a FPS, 3rd person or both...?

Me want! Razz

Hopefully the PS3 doesn't get a poorer port like last time - the jaggies on GRAW2 would've sufficed as a melee weapon!

optical camo? Mech legs? Jumping around? shoulder mounted rocket launchers?

Awesome. I want it now Very Happy

Yeah, to those who say these new techs are too Metal Gear Solid, you do realise that most of this stuff is actually in production???

Ubisoft has only ever included tech in Ghost Recon (and Splinter Cell) games that are being tested as we speak.

Who knows perhaps we're heading down a route to a MGS-esque future.

Sounds good but Ubisoft have gone down hill in the last few years if you ask me.
