It has been 1 year since I joined the game development team of Ubisoft Paris, to help create a sequel to Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (or GRAW as we fondly call it) on Microsoft’s X360. The game is now finished and we are waiting for the discs to be manufactured and put in stores (8th March if everything goes fine). You may even see some TV adds early March…
It is a tactical action game, with lots of shooting, running, flanking, driving tanks and helicopters and giving orders to squads of teammates. If you played GRAW1, you know how good it was (it got the Best Game of the Year awards for X360 in nearly every web site or magazine in the world).
GRAW2 is just better, bigger and nicer.
The story takes place in Mexico in 2014. You are an elite soldier in a mission to save the Mexican President… and your country, from a terrorist threat
(OK, OK, I know… we saw too many episodes of 24 ;-).
Come here for more information on the game.
You may even see my (tired) face in some blogs .
Here are a few pictures, to show you the kind of things we can do today (everything in the following pictures is displayed in 3D and in real time). Honestly, the graphical features presented here are among the absolute best in the video game industry (si, si !! ;-)
Over 50000 polygons for highly detailed character models.
Real-time smoke, fire and weather effects (rain, mist, wind)…
Advanced lightning techniques, that allow us to modify the day/night cycle in real time.
Big explosions and special effects
Our objective : to put you in the middle of war zone, with all its chaos, noise and stress!!
