I've never been played a Rainbow Six game..but I've always wanted to because I heard of how slower pace and tactical it is. The above trailer is a prototype of what they want to do/take the game with it.. Looks pretty awesome if they can capture that feel.. I do love how you can tell it's an Ubisoft game just by looking at the U.I.
Apparently it's controversial? Thoughts?

I'm liking the branding for the game and the ideas for their UI. Look forward to seeing more
This guy does.
This video looks great and all, but it doesn't feel like Rainbow Six. I love the old Rainbow Six games, when you could plan out your entire mission, which included everything from the team members to the route you would plan on the building schematics. You would go in, complete your objective, then move on to the briefing for the next mission.
I agree that this looks like a nice concept, and will probably be a great game that I'll pick up day one, I was just hoping they would go back to the roots of the series.
Just so we are clear, I am confident that the Ubi guys will do a tremendous job.
I guess franchises have to evolve but I can't help but think more fondly of the original Ghost Recon and Rainbox Six games from Red Storm. There was something so thrilling and exhilarating about how unforgiving they were.
Agreed. I am very much looking forward to this, it's just not what I was expecting is all.
And me too! Along with Mistry and others.
haha I see that
yeah, no.. that target video is not that, neither were that vegas barf
also, installed Raven Shield a couple of weekends ago, yeah.....yesssssss
I also think more than a few real life high-speed-low-drag folks, .mil and law enforcement alike, are going to call foul. While that situation is completely feasible in real life, that is not how our nation's armed professionals would handle it. Real life is brutal enough. I think Ubi Toronto is going to put a few noses out of joint depicting America's elite asskickers as heartless robotic killers.
Is that some kind of threat? Sounds like it, especially since you specified Toronto i.e. Canada i.e. Canada vs the States.
Its that kind of silly post that turns good threads on here into flaming shitstorms that get locked after two pages. Cool it, its just a game.
It did go dark as you say, but I'm interested in seeing where they go with that, and should make a change from COD and its flag-waving.
and the hair-pulling cooperative lan action fun that was R6 + Eagle Watch. Hard as hell with enemies that have god aim and bandit reactions, but it strived for realism over hollywoodness - and I loved it.
I remember loving the NATO mod for it soon after, tons of weapons lol
Yeah.... apparently you haven't seen Occupy Oakland where you get tear gassed if you protest in large numbers peacefully.
I also personally know that *some* new cops fresh out of academy have very dangerous mindsets, reacting without much thought at all in any given situation.
Cops are human. They still operate on the same instincts as everyone.
Sold!
Ok seriously though, Rainbow six was one of the series I really liked because this game was one of the hardest FPS I've ever played. I hope this one lives up to its words.
*Types it in To Buy list*
Uh, to clarify guys. Ubisoft Montreal are the main devs, it's their baby. Us at Ubisoft Toronto are supporting them in development, as well as Red Storm. Same idea like with Assassin's Creed that's spread across different Ubi studios, but with Montreal being the main dev.
...wait, what? I didn't threaten anybody.
Other people in the thread have pointed out both Ubi Montreal and Ubi Toronto are working on the title.
I just was pointing out that it struck me as borderline disturbing, and that the mock-up portrayed elite soldiers as heavy-handed, unsympathetic killers. The way it was portrayed alarmed me and left me worried that it could potentially start a PR shitstorm.
Think back to the dust-up over the intro level of MW2 ("No Russian"). I think the only reason IW and Activision generally got away with that was because it was skippable, the killers were terrorists, and it wasn't in America. Even then, they got a little bit of a black eye in the press over it.
If somebody releases a game in the US where ostensibly American / allied elite soldiers - who are supposed to be the "good guys" - are shooting American police and throwing hostages off bridges, there's going to be backlash.
Besides the whole thing kind of turning my stomach, I guess the last thing I want to see is the usual video-game-hate goblins in the US Senate ranting on CSPAN about how the latest Rainbow Six game has American kids making allied special forces troops shoot NYPD cops and murder hostages as the point of the game.
Anyway, I dunno where you got the notion that I was threatening anybody, but whatever. I'm gonna pass on this one unless Ubi makes some significant writing changes - the real world sucks enough these days, I don't have the stomach to enjoy a game where I have to murder friendlies and innocents.
FWIW, I played the living crap out of Rogue Spear and would LOVE a new RS title in that vein.
+1
Yeah the core team is at Ubisoft Montreal, but many Ubi studios are playing an important role in assset creation.
I'm character lead on Patriots and while I can't say too much, the ingame version is far more impressive and intense then the previs video shown.
Yes the game is going to be controversial, but not in sheer blood and gore.
....I'm yet to see just how far we push these boundaries.
Seb Legrain did work on Vegas. Leroy Simpson (JohnWoo) did the character work on the second one.
Pretty good guys!
I personally loved playing R6 by sending in my squad mates as meat shields, letting them get shot, and then sniping everyone from afar before reviving them.
The Creative Director was upset at me when he found out I played his game like that.
^_^
yay!
