Ghost Recon 3 PC Smiles on GRIN, Title Confirmed? [Jun 24, 2005, 1:36 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The GRIN Website (thanks Frans) has word that
this Swedish developer (BANDITS: Phoenix Rising) is at work on the PC edition of
Ghost Recon 3, which follows a previous mention that they were "working with
Ubisoft to develop the PC version for the upcoming installment of one of the
publisher’s major brands." Scrolling over on
this wacky page reveals the
following announcement, which also seems to confirm recent reports
(story) that Advanced War Fighter, or actually Advanced
Warfighter, will be the game's subtitle:
Official announcement STOCKHOLM - June 23 2005 - Today, GRIN is proud to confirm that they are developing the PC version for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter™. Working in close collaboration with Ubisoft's studios, GRIN is delighted to bring its expertise to the next installment on Windows® PC DVD-ROM of the smash-hit squad based shooter franchise.
GRIN has strong experience in military applications (they started developing software for the armed forces). They distinguished themselves in developing groundbreaking technology; GRIN made the first game to feature pixel shaders in cooperation with Nvidia for the launch of the GeForce 3.

"Advanced Warfighter?"
Are they trying to sound stupid?

Sounds like a flight sim 
Who are they....what have they done in the paste. Please dont make GR3 suck, thanks! Arcade/console = bad, sim = good.

As Stephen mentioned, they made Bandits: Phoenix Rising, which was a mediocre game.
This announcement is scary, developing GR3 is a big burden on their shoulders for sure, their track record is not too impressive, at all...

Well, its a console game being ported over to the PC, what do you expect?
These guys also made Ballistics.
As Stephen mentioned, they made Bandits: Phoenix Rising, which was a mediocre game.Bandits is a pretty damn good game especially in multiplayer. It's wheeled vehicular combat is better than stock UT2004's due to the great diversity of weapons and even the control and physics feel a little better. The engine used in Bandits runs well and looks good. Admittedly the single-player game is lack-luster and the dialog is laughable at times especially due to the translation to English.
But, Bandits is certainly worth the $10 or so it is selling for if you can find it.
Ubi/RSE killed it to satisfy the console crowd. Time to move on 
Bandits was a pretty sweet game. Only problem is after a while it got insanely hard even on the easiest difficulty. But it was good.
How well they can pull off Ghost Recon is anybody's guess.

I'm hoping it even SHIPS for PC.

Please, no more console ports! Were begging you, make it a real PC game this time. Even Warren Spector knows now what a mistake it is making a console game and porting it to the PC, ala Deus Ex 2.

Consoles are schwag.
Deus Ex was great, Deus Ex II was the problem, please don't never talk bad about one of the greatest PC games ever.

I'm thinking GRIN will be simply handling the Xbox360-to-PC porting duties, nothing major.

Sorry about that StealthR6, I fixed my first post about it. And, you are correct, Deus Ex is one of my all time favs right next to System Shock 2. Back when porting to a console wasn't even considered.

On the subject of Deus Ex:IW I think the game wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. It WAS a disappointment since it felt like such a step back from the first one. Taken on its own, it was a pretty good game, imo.
On the topic of ports in general, all I can say is you better get used to them, because sometime in the near future 75% of what we play on the PC is going to be ported from consoles. Imho, of course.

Advanced Warfighter? That has to be the worst tag line since Warrior Within.
Bandits was a pretty sweet game.
Agreed. I still have it loaded on here and play it on a periodic basis. Damn fun game.

Funny, SS2 is my favorite PC game of all time. Deus Ex is #2. The rest are all 15 years old

It's already been confirmed that the PC version will be entirely different from the XBOX version, akin to the difference between R6 3 on PC and on XBOX.

You will have to excuse me if I don't exactly put a lot of credibility into Ubi/RSE pronouncements regarding the PC versions of their games anymore. They said the same thing about Ghost Recon 2 and we all know how well that one turned out.

Just like they developed GR2 for the PC as well I bet, then pulled out after the xbox sales lagged. Zero confidence vote here.
