Ghost Recon: Predator outed in Oz News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

21 October, 2009

The Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) has rated a game called Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Predator.

Ubisoft, unsurprisingly, is listed as both developer and publisher. The game has passed with an MA 15+ rating due to "strong violence", (OFLC via VG247). That's not the highest rating, by the way - R 18+ and X 18+ are.

It's not the first we've heard about a new Ghost Recon game. This summer Ubisoft revealed delays for a few key titles, of which a new Ghost Recon game was one. That, said the publisher, would launch sometime from April onwards next year. Autumn 2010 would be a safe bet.

The name Predator conjures images of jungles, super-soldiers, flat-footed prey and biceps.

Ubisoft's other Tom Clancy series, Splinter Cell, expands next year with Conviction: a brutal (and redesigned) Jack Bauer-like tale of revenge.

Looks very promising, as our hands-on impressions from August point out.

There is no R or X classification for games is Australia. As such MA15 is actually indeed the highest rating.

And, for the love of god, it's Aus, not Oz. Oz is a fictional country with wizard, witches and shit like that

After naming a game Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter while being completely serious about it, Predator sounds awfully restricted for Ubisoft. How about Xtreme Predator or Ultra Predator instead? Or maybe take a page from the Japanese naming convention manual... Ghost Recon Again: Schadenfreude Predator?

Is there any logical reason to mention SC:C in this article? Looks like a great game and all but seriously?

I expect Ubisoft will be having words with them.

"You give our position away again, i'll bleed you... Real quiet... Leave you here... got that!?"

Crazy name aside, I loved GRAW and GRAW2 and I'm sure I'm gonna have me some fun with GR:Predator!

Ok... personally I thought R6Vegas 2 was pretty much the same as R6Vegas the 1st.

erm ubi, can we please have a real ghost recon?

I mean like the first one, desert siege & thunder island.

Not those crappy-dumbed down GRAW thingy.

I'll get voted down, but I dont care, first was such a blast !

GRAW 1 multiplayer was great with it's cheap granade launcher and spawn killing. Seriously though smaller maps and no revive this time please (keep granade launcher though)
