Ubisoft's Absurd Predictions for the Future of Warfare

Ghost Recon Future Soldier is the most futuristic game out there because the soldiers receive real-time Facebook notifications during combat.

It's wild that the military technology in this game turned out to be more plausible than games using Kinect past 2010.

Robo Crab's tragic experiences with the military-industrial complex really made this game work

[notsojharedtroll]

The absurd prediction was that Kinect will function to control the soldier throughout the ENTIRE GAME. Totally absurd

[Pattamatt]

The sheer number of hours I spent in the weapon customization menu and firing range alone is insane. What a great game this was.

[JaelaOrdo]

The predictions may have been absurd but that armor is amazing

"That one was my child. My wife is not gonna be happy." Absolute god-tier line

I really liked the mission where the enemies start fucking with your HUD. They jam it or something and you have no idea what’s real and what’s not. I just wish they fleshed it out a little more since I remember this part going for a solid 5 minutes before soldier army man tells you to turn off the hud.

Funny thing is most of the stuff in the game does actually exist in some way today including the Robo dog (even armed ones) and the AR helmet, hell the next generation sight for the US Army's Next Generation Weapons Program literally has an irl aimbot built in.

"The rest of him is invisible, but he's got a pair of floating arms"
So he's the protagonist of Quake II RTX.

I want not just a review, but a reading of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier Official Tie-in novel featuring robo-crab

Future Soldier wad a damn good game though. The multiplayer was so fun as well. They turned the servers off this year though.

One thing I loved about game was that aiming speed was controlled by all the stuff you tacked on your gun so folks who struggled with aiming speed weren't seriously handicapped while playing online. It also created guys who would build the most chopped up submachine guns to charge people who couldn't turn fast enough

This game will always have a place in my heart. It was the last gift my sister gave me before she died. RIP Kiki

[skulldozer]

Crazy how most of the stuff that was featured in Future Soldier was still in its prototype phase truly lived up to its name. Portable drone quad copters? Marine Corps and the Army has those down at the squad level. HUD? IVAS existed and its still in its testing phase I believe. Optical camo? Don't worry I believe they're still being researched as of now

[kaspersaldell]

Like it or not, this game is far more interesting than any Ghost Recon that came out after it

[Ivegotsomewater]

Robo crab needs to become an actual character

[VRichardsn]

Man, Robocrab's life story really made me emotional.

[Theof]

One of my favorite games ever.
I remember even as a kid, using the mobile app to constantly customize my guns when I’d got bored.

[R-SXX]

I low-key would play a military game with two main characters, one Rambo like patriot and the other a robot plagued by regrets in everything it does

[Viper-dzkw]

Most of this was actually pretty accurate, besides the weird optical camo most of this stuff does now exist or is in the prototyping phase
