So much for the 360 exclusivity:

London – MAY 13, 2005 – Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest videogame publishers, announced development of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® 3 (working title), the next installment in the smash-hit squad-based action franchise. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® 3 is scheduled to ship for retail in conjunction with the launch of the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and will also be available on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, the Nintendo GameCube™ and Windows® PC DVD-ROM this holiday 2005. Ubisoft will showcase Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® 3 at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), May 18–20, at Booth #1300 in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The year is 2013. The U.S. Army has been developing – and can now deploy – the Integrated Warfighter System (IWS), a complex combination of cutting-edge technologies that transforms an individual soldier into the ultimate fighting force. IWS combines advanced weapons systems, satellite communication devices and enhanced survivability into one fully integrated combat system that is finally ready for the true test of the battlefield. Combining the advantages of next-generation console technology with future military technologies, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® 3 includes a wealth of groundbreaking features, including the Cross-Com, a communication device attached to the soldier’s monocle and powered by satellite technology, which will deliver constant and complete battlefield awareness seamlessly within the action. In addition, Ubisoft will employ increased processing power to its fullest, with breathtaking graphics, lighting and textures, multi-windowing, and state-of-the-art physics. Current-generation versions of the game will be custom-built using top technologies that push each platform to its limits.

Key Features:

* Next-generation gaming technology: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 3 is built from the ground up for next-generation consoles, maximizing increased power to deliver phenomenal graphics and a host of innovative features. Current-generation versions will be custom-tailored for each platform.

* Become the soldier of the future: Gain access to the future of military technology. Using a fully integrated combat system with cutting-edge weapons and communication systems, gamers will embody the soldier of the future. Based on actual military research, the Ghosts give gamers a realistic view of how war will be fought in the next decade.

* Revolutionary feature: Use the revolutionary Cross-Com, a communication device powered by satellite technology. Attached to the soldier's monocle, the Cross-Com provides full situational awareness and command of the battlefield. Command the Ghost squad and remote allied forces and drones, and direct artillery and air strikes. See what the squad sees and receive visual and auditory intelligence from allied forces and unmanned drones.

* Stunning urban environment: One capital, multiple locations. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® 3 takes place entirely in Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities. A stunning, meticulously detailed universe will provide complete immersion in the urban war of the future.

* Top-notch multiplayer experience: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® 3 returns to deliver industry-leading multiplayer and cooperative gameplay for one of the hottest online franchises.

Have you seen the screenshots and videos of this game on Xbox 360? I seriously doubt it'd be possible on a PC in 2005. This is one of the best looking Xbox 360 games. Too bad it won't be playable on the show floor.

Yeah I bet the PC version looks the same as the Xbox 360 version too.

I'd like to know the details about the supposed 48 pipes of the 360. Because aren't many of them just extensions and not real true pipelines?

Yes I've seen them all. (on my monitor, not on 360
You seriously think this isn't possible even on my PC right now? GoW isn't, GR3 is.

A 6800GT or an X800XT could manage Ghost Recon 3. Just.

I seriously think your PC right now would have a hard time running GR3 smoothly. You've seen the video? When that huge building explodes and the entire block is covered with dust and debris?

That was the best part of the footage I think my HDD would trash a little bit during that moment, that's all.

Anyway - we shall see. For all that's saint I hope the final version will look amazingly on 360, much better than what high-end PCs are capable of. Right now - it ain't.

Do you know what engine Red Storm is using for the Xbox 360 version? Unreal Engine 3.0 or in-house?
