Like motion capture? Like this! Click on the "View Our Reel" box for a stunning 3 minute portfolio of what Modern Uprising Studios can do! Oh, and did I mention - this is the team that produced Ghost Recon character animation!

We have 4 new desktop wallpapers available for download this week thanks to Xian Saint, Daywanderer and LofD.

Those who have seen Ghost Recon first hand, or even if you saw the video's that were sneaked out of E3, one thing has impressed everyone, the new motion capture animation. By all accounts the fluidity of movement of graphic quality has moved on significantly since Rogue Spear. When Red Storm went looking for a motion capture studio for Rogue Spear they awarded the work to House of Moves, my guess is these guys are also working on Ghost Recon. Check out their site to see other interesting projects they have worked on, and download some of the movie clips!

Ubi Soft have listed all their titles on show at ECTS next week, including Ghost Recon.

At last Red Storm have actually allowed previewers the chance to get a true "hands on" Ghost Recon experience. GameSpot have been lucky enough to put Ghost Recon through it's paces, and have come up with a terrific 4 page report, with some excellent new images.

There are some fantastic new details revealed in the report, and Jester has summarised them for those of you with short attention spans :o) Also remember that we keep our GR-S page updated with all the information that has ever been released about Ghost Recon sourced from Previews, Official Ubi Soft Statements and RSE Forums.

I have added a new section to the links on the right for Affiliates. Quality community sites will be available with a single click, and we kick off with The Rumble. Around since 1998 The Rumble now aims to be the net's premier tactical gaming ladder, and they are taking Ghost Recon sign-ups now!

Ubi Soft have now officially set Ghost Recon for a 20th November 2001 release! It gives us less time to complete RS : Black Thorn which is due on October the 9th, but who's complaining!

The Combat Zone mailed us today that they are taking Clan sign-ups in advance of Ghost Recon's November/December release. Sign up now if you think you've got what it takes!

We have opened a Clan and Ladder Forum here at Ghost Recon.net as there is already alot of interest in building Ghost Recon clans.

ECTS is billed as Europe's premier interactive entertainment expo. What that means is the entire European interactive entertainment industry gathers to show off their latest and greatest productions. Ubi Soft will have a stand, and Ghost Recon will be on show to the trade and media - and GHOSTRECON.NET!

That's right, we will be present at ECTS and already have a slot booked to see Ghost Recon - in the flesh - a full 3 months before the official release date! Needless to say we will be pulling out all the stops to bring you as much detail and news as we can possibly extract from the Ghost Recon team. Ghost Recon.net will be attending on the 3rd of September and will be working overtime to bring you the ECTS Report as soon as we possibly can that very same week.

Brian Upton granted HomeLan an interview this week - it's a 16 question and answer session with at least one new piece of news, and it's about the x-box "We're definitely not going to let the PC and XBox players play together" so that rules out cross platform gaming that had been hinted at during the Alpha stage.

At the time of posting this news, Tactical Games did not have any details on their website, but keep an eye out for it soon, and hope they post it in English as well as Dutch!

Thanks to some very tasty artwork from LofD we are proud as punch to release the first ever Ghost Recon wallpaper.

IGN posted an interesting interview with Brian Upton recently. The next day it disappeared of public access and became part of their subscription service - i.e. you had to pay to see it.

Obviously for Ubi Soft this was bad news - they want maximum exposure for Ghost Recon, not privileged access! Not surprising then that the report is back on public access IGN! The page of eleven questions and answers revealing new information on AI, the game engine and the RPG element, can now be viewed here.

Feel free to comment on pay-per-view subscription news sites in our Forums, would you have paid?
