It’s time to go all Clancy again. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier demonstrates some single player goodness
Dropping off the radar of most gamers due to both delays and a general lack of interest, the Ghost Recon series of Clancy-themed games has been on a prolonged hiatus of late.
Ever since Advanced Wafighter 2 rolled out onto consoles back in 2007, and aside from a jaunt on the 3DS last year, the series hasn't exactly been on active duty, with the next instalment being delayed more than once.
Now, it seems, there's some light at the end of the tunnel, and here we can see the single player trailer for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier show off its core gameplay in style.
The eventual release looks to return to its tactical co-op roots, but this time has far more in the way of high-tech gadgetry up its sleeve. Cloaking devices, magnetic x-ray scopes, drones, remote sensors that can show enemies through walls, and more are set to feature in gameplay where "Only the dead fight fair."
Its certainly a different move, putting the slant on making your tactics focus on fighting dirty, with all sorts of high-tech advantage, but there looks to be plenty of traditional running, gunning and cover shooting in there too, with, of course, plenty of room for stealth.
What's clear is that the game is certainly shaping up nicely, and the inevitable multiplayer co-op matches we'll be involved in could be very enjoyable indeed. Future Soldier has just pinged on our radar again.
