han colgado este articulo en GamePro y ha desaparecido misteriosamente en una hora
GamePro is in possession of a document from an anonymous internal source at Ubisoft. The leak details Ubisoft's game lineup for the fiscal year 2007, including prices, platforms, and release dates for dozens of games.
Highlights for the list of newly announced games include:
Tom Clancy's Firehawk (PS3, Xbox 360, PC)
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 5 (PS3, Xbox 360, Rev, PC, PSP)
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 4 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Xbox, PS2)
Assassin (PS3, Xbox 360, Rev, PC, PSP)
Lumines 2 (PS2, PSP)
Game 5 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC)
Alive (PS3, Xbox 360, PC)
Naruto (Xbox 360)
Rayman 4 (PS3, Xbox 360, Rev, PC, PS2, handheld)
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Perhaps the biggest eyebrow-raiser is the reference to a completely new Tom Clancy series title called Tom Clancy's Firehawk. The document shows that the game is under development for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Whatever Firehawk is, the fact that it's not being developed for the PS2 and Xbox suggests that it was designed from the ground up to maximize the brute graphical force of the Xbox 360 and PS3. Firehawk is scheduled to launch in March of 2007, but far-off release dates such as this tend to be estimates, not hard launch dates.
Another surprise was the fact that Ubisoft is planning for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 5 to launch in November of 2006 for the PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Revolution, PCs, PSP, and current-gen consoles. There has been no word of this game until this point.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 4 is also allegedly under development for the PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox, PS2, and PC, and is scheduled to ship in March of 2007. Again, there has been no word on an official sequel to Ghost Recon 3 until now.
Another revelation is that Ghost Recon: Advance Warfighter -- currently available for the Xbox 360 -- is headed to the PlayStation 3 in November of 2006. The document also contains word that a Ghost Recon: Advance Warfighter mission pack is in production for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and PSP (which seems odd, given the fact that Advance Warfighter does not currently exist for the PS3).
Another completely unannounced game referenced in the document is Assassin, a title that's under development for the PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Revolution, PC, and PSP. Assassin is currently scheduled for a March 2007 release date, but as we've heard nothing about such a title, your guess is as good as ours.
PSP players, meanwhile, will be thrilled to learn the Ubisoft is developing a sequel to hit music puzzle game Lumines for the PSP....but this time, Lumines 2There are some major mysteries in the document, too. Just what is the game the document cryptically refers to as "Game 5"? The document lists a Spring 2007 release for Game 5 on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Likewise for Alive, a title under development for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Judging by the fact that these games are only under development for high-end next-gen systems, our guess is that these are codewords for upcoming Ubisoft marquee titles, games that were designed from the ground-up to take full advantage of next-gen console hardware power. It's even possible that one of these games is Killing Day, the PS3 first-person shooter Ubisoft showed at last year's E3. Killing Day is noticeable absent on the release list.
There's more good news for Brothers in Arms fans, as it appears that Ubisoft is planning Brothers in Arms 3 not only for the Xbox 360, but for the Nintendo Revolution, PS3, PC, and the DS in February of 2007. There's also word that Brothers in Arms 2: Earned in Blood will make the jump to the PSP that month. Considering the PSP's power, it's likely that that game will be a fairly faithful port of the original PS2 game; likewise, the DS version of Brothers in Arms 3 is more likely to be a companion piece, not a full port.
Manga favorite Naruto is also under development for the Xbox 360. That series is currently on the GBA and PS2, but this is the first we've heard of a next-gen Naruto. The game is slated for a March 2007 release, but like so many of these far-off titles, it could slip.
Rayman fans can also take heart: Ubisoft is apparently planning to bring back their old platform-hopping mascot in Rayman 4 for the Xbox 360, Nintendo Revolution, PC, PS2, and handheld systems. Rayman 2 was a well-loved game with beautiful graphics and a diehard fan base, and it's great to see Ubisoft planning to bring the series back this November.
Ubisoft is also planning to bring Dark Messiah of Might & Magic to the PS3, Xbox 360, and PSP. Though it's possible the game is based off of the upcoming Heroes of Might & Magic V, due out for the PC in the coming months, it seems to be a completely original title. Considering that it's coming out for the PSP as well, our guess is that it's a more action-oriented game along the lines of the Untold Legends series, but that's pure speculation.
The Ninja Turtles are also making the jump to next-gen consoles in the spring of 2007, landing on the PS3, the Nintendo Revolution, and the Xbox 360. The game will also launch on current-gen consoles, the PC, and handheld systems.
The document also shares information on the release date for Devil May Cry 3.5, a strangely-titled port of the PS2 game Devil May Cry 3. Devil May Cry 3 is scheduled to ship in April of 2006. Resident Evil 4 on the PC, meanwhile, is currently slated for release in May of 2006.
Other titles have less specific information. Highway Battles, for instance, has no release date and is listed as an Xbox 360-only game. Enchant Arms is scheduled to hit the Xbox 360 in July, and Blazing Angel 1.5 is scheduled for a November 2006 release on PS3, Xbox 360, and the original Xbox.
