Tom Clancy games have always had an element of realism surrounding them. The majority of their games focus on wars, cartels, and even a couple casino robbers. Each of these games have tended to bring a realism mode of difficulty where fatal shots will kill you. Nowadays there are a lot of live action trailers accompanying a video games release, take the recent Final Fantasy XV for instance, that had a mix of real children and CGI characters. But Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands (which we will refer to Wildlands as its quite a mouthful) has gone for a live action documentary. Take a look:
It’s an interesting approach for the next installment of the Ghost Recon series, not to mention what kind of angle they are going for on selling it. Between this and the ‘cat’ trailer (I will post below), it’s hard to tell what kind of audience it wants to attract. On one side you have this semi-serious documentary that lends itself as some deep backstory for saving Bolivia, on the other, a cat chasing a snipers red dot sight.
I’m still excited for Wildlands, mainly for the game-play and co-op side. An open world with character customization which isn’t dissimilar from The Division. It’s sure to be a whole host of co-op madness and fun.
