Fog of war: Ubisoft “unable to comment” on Clancy viral campaign
That’s Eurogamer’s intelligence extract about the rev64 viral site – not much detail to go with, too. Ubisoft must really love its secrets. Just like in the real world, this leaves various gaming intelligence agencies having to share the information through open source (the press) in order to make sense of all the raw and confusing data.
So what is Ubisoft unable to comment on? Eurogamer’s contribution to the guessing game focus on rev64.com’s alternate website address: http://jsf28555833-80604722.com/. They “imagine” JSF to stand for Joint Strike Force, or something like that. You know, a joint command coalition force like that could be a plausible venue for Splinter Cell, the Ghosts, and Rainbow to interact.
Guess it was also useful for Eurogamer to note that *SPOILER ALERT* the latest installment to all three franchises end with “to be continued” – well, not much of a Spoiler Alert, we guess (On the other hand, with Splinter Cell: Conviction seemingly in the pipeline, it looks like Sam Fisher’s story might be fleshed out a little more).
Because we’re worried more spoiler alerts will lead to a riot, we can’t publish our speculations beyond this but to say: using one game to tie up the loose ends to three different stories? Interesting and cost-effective.
Of course, if one of those news feeds on rev64 references a defecting Typhoon-class ballistic missile submarine captained by a Russo-Lithuanian half-breed, then all bets are off.
