Viva laaaas Vegas... MEH

Taken from this link at ubi.com.

These new detials were posted by SFLUFAN over on the IGN boards and is information from the next issue of EGM magazine

Here are the facts:

- the game has been in development for nearly 2 years now
- after the debacle known as Suckdown...I mean Lockdown, development was taken away from Red Storm and given to Ubi-Montreal
- you will play as one character, don't ask me his name because I didn't care to remember it - all I remember is that it was some generic tough-guy white man name (Ding Chavez does make a return though)
- you will have 2 or 3 teammates who will have unique (ie, "cliche") personalities
- the game will be presented using the "Half-Life" (yes that is exactly what they said) style of storytelling using only the first-person perspective and no cutscenes (not that there were very many cutscenes in the previous games anyway)
- the game will have lots of destructability/interactivity in the environments and you will be able to do stuff like rappel down the sides of buildings and fast-rope out of choppers
- it appears that there will be no pre-mission planning phase (just like Suckdown) rather you will issue commands "on-the-fly" (like in Raven Shield)
- it will be a more "cinematic" presentation as your teammates will engage in conversations and ARGUE during the missions

Let me stop right there for a second. Conversations? ARGUE? These are elite counterterrorist operatives. They don't argue or converse with one another on a mission. Do you know what happens in real life if you "converse" or "argue" on a mission such as this? YOU ****ING DIE - THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU!!!

- game is not using any form of the Unreal engine that previous R6 games used nor is it using the GR:AW engine, it's using its own graphics engine.

And here is the kicker that about caused me to laugh/cry/vomit/scream simultaneously was I was reading the article at Borders:

THE GAME WILL FEATURE A "HALO-STYLE" HEALTH SYSTEM WHERE YOU WILL RECOVER YOUR HEALTH IF YOU STAY OUT OF THE ACTION FOR A BIT!!!

Recover health? Emotional story? Can't wait to hear "This time, it's personal!". Seriously... this just killed of my hopes in this game. Ugh.

Sounds like we're in for a real treat.

 

[Axyon]

Well, there goes any hope I had for the game.

 

[ChiChi]

:frown: :frown: Rainbow Six has been going down the drain. I guess Ubi doesn't realise people play the series because they want a realistic, tactical slow-paced shooter, they want an arcade shooter.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

wow everything I hate about the direction of the Tom Clancy games... in one sweet package!

 

[Naudian]

I've never even played these games, except for a SP Demo of one, yet this still makes me sad

 

[DeusExMachina]

This game is going to be GODLY.

 

[weskerQ8]

hope they fix the problem ( more tactics, less visuality )

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

I hate the idea of singled out stupid ****ing heroes, every time I play ghost recon and they push this ****ing stupid idea of a singular captain guy I miss being a nameless ghost silently killing people.. and if I died guess what I just switch to another squad member.. and the heads up map commanding alpha bravo and charlie squad.. what the **** happened.

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

the health recovery thing is just plain stupid....

it would be neat though if it was like that in the real world though...got shot? well just lie down and rest for a bit and you'll be right back on your feet....no need for hospitals anymore!

 

[ríomhaire]

Dear god, and they have the nerve to call it Rainbow 6!

 

[Sulkdodds]

Oh, for suck's sake.

 

[B_MAN]

what a shame
someone should be fired for this
halo style recovery? wtf

 

[Cole]

Ok, im gonna go kill them whos with me?

 

[ChiChi]

Well, it's Ubi Montreal who make like a million good games per year, so I'll let this slide. Wait, no I won't *cocks shotgun* let's go convince them to make a good game.

 

[OvA]

I liked the book better.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Halo style health recovery in R6, lol gg.

 

[Venmoch]

So, uh, has anyone thought about playing the game before judging it?

There is the possibility that its a good game......

 

[OCybrManO]

Yes, it may be a fun game on its own... but that's not the point.

It's not a ****ing RAINBOW SIX game!

If they don't want to make R6 games, that's fine... just don't call them R6 games.

 

[ríomhaire]

Exactly, it's just like Generals and Invisible War. They should not wear the titles Command & Conquer and Deus Ex!

 

[63]

Yeah! Just like how Red, Blue, Green, Ruby, Saphire, Leaf Green, Fire Red, Emerald, Trozei, Pearl, Diamond, Dash, Crystal, Yellow Edition, Gold Edition AND Silver Edition don't deserve the 'Pokemon' title! THEY MILKED THAT BITCH.

 

[jimbo118]

OMG they ripped this series to threads, what a shame...

 

[ríomhaire]

Yeah! Just like how Red, Blue, Green, Ruby, Saphire, Leaf Green, Fire Red, Emerald, Trozei, Pearl, Diamond, Dash, Crystal, Yellow Edition, Gold Edition AND Silver Edition don't deserve the 'Pokemon' title! THEY MILKED THAT BITCH.

So the only one you think deserved it is Snap? :rolling:

 

[DeusExMachina]

Pokemon Snap was GODLY.

 

[Insano]

I really enjoyed the first Rainbow Six game, too bad they're heading towards the wrong direction...

 

[63]

Pokemon Snap was kickass

 

[ríomhaire]

Despite what I said earlier I enjoyed Pokémon Snap, though I've only played it twice.
