Ubisoft viral site hints at new Tom Clancy game

I thought viral meant to spread disease and will never be cured but treated or immunized. Yeah that is what I think of the whole viral marketing buzz.

There are a number of theories about this site. Check the forums, which can be accessed from the jsf28555833 link at the top.

According to information on the side, and from videos, it can be assumed that the man speaks Russian, Spanish and French, and has a young daughter. Something traumatic possibly happened to his family. The man also passed through Officer Candidates School.

There are references to Splinter Cell - in one of the videos - OGG Cape Offensive I think. A "splinter cell" is mentioned to be in the field. After the woman speaking lets us know that we are about to have a direct feed to the agent, the goggle noise sounds and the French speaking agent begins to talk. I think Fisher is mentioned.

There are references to Mexico, bringing to mind the Ghosts, and one video shows a cross swinging in the background, in a Catholic fashion, as a Spanish man speaks. The Ghosts are radioed by a member of Red Horse squadron.

REV64 brings to mind Revelations 6:4, which reads "And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."

What is interesting is that "Red Horse" squadron is mentioned in one video.

While most of the videos contain ground footage, there are some aerial shots, possibly hinting at an aerial combat game. However, the amount of references to various Clancy branches has led to speculation that the game will be an RTS, where different branches (Splinter Cells, Ghosts) can be deployed.

It would be nice if Tom Clancy green lighted a project that was an RPG. His storytelling style would be great for that kind of a game format.

If you play the videos by clicking on the links in the scrolling portion on the right hand side, in one of them they say something about the ghost leader and a crosscom. It's prolly a new GR game.

joystiq, the pinnacle of breaking news coverage. lol anyway, i think this is a new game, anyone remember firehawk?, in which you play ghost recon, rainbow six and splinter cell aspects or three separate games which all follow the same event, but through the eyes and duties of a splinter cell, ghost recon squad, and rainbow six squad

i thought i remember hearing about a game that would intertwine R6, GR, and SC. could this be it?

and i like that research...very nice. and i would be more than happy with a good aerial combat game.

omg dude, this is ancient news. way to be on top of things.

My favorite theory is the craziest: that Assassin's Creed actually takes place in the future and has some possible tie in to the Clancy universe through technology that allows for soldiers to relive past actions from their genetic history. Hmmm...

@fawazr

Actually, that's not that crazy. We know that Assassin's Creed has ties to the present, because we have seen videos of a guy waking up from a coma like state. The guy in the video looks to be A. Unconscious B. Monitored by the computer device on the right side of the screen. Not a bad theory.
