My hopes for a return to Rogue Spear or Raven Shield are pointless aren't they? Rainbow Six 3 and Black Arrow will continue to be the absolute best RB6 games on console.

I just wanted a Rainbow 6 Vegas gamelike, that's all.

I legit don't understand how these types of competitive games are so popular on mobile. Are players actually just using their phones or is the use of other peripherals just assumed? I know PUBG and another battle royale that I can't think of are quite popular on the platform.

I lost my online verginity on the original xbox with these 2, so good.

RB6 already looks and plays like a mobile game, it only needed a port.

'Sigh'

 

[TransTrender]

Specifically:
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile a Ubisoft Derivative

 

[R6Rider]

I still play a lot of Siege, but this looks terrible as with most mobile games.

Also that song doesn't fit the trailer. Not even edited together well.

A. Tom Clancy games have been on handhelds before

B. Mobile shooters are all about accessibility

 

[CamHostage]

Holy shit at that credits roster for who developed this...

 

[TransTrender]

Holy shit at that credits roster for who developed this...

Probably giving credit to all of the original asset creators since since there's likely very little 'new' here

 

[Keihart]

they really had to at this point, there are some mobile bootlegs out there already

 

[STARSBarry]

Honestly it makes sense, after all Ubisoft only phones it in these days.

You should try it. They work really well even with just touch screen.

I don't have a strong enough ego to survive getting curb-stomped by a 14-year old not paying attention in Trig.

. . .I'm honestly just amazed that they've optimized these games (the "twitch shooter" style of multiplayer) to the point that they can be done with just a touchscreen (though there definitely has to be the jerks out there playing this on an emulated phone using a M&KB).

 

[Rat Rage]

The game

was waiting for!

Don't even waste your brain power thinking/hoping for this scenario.

This is Ubisoft we're talking about.

Just remember the memories on move on.

 

[zeorhymer]

Trying to milk the mobile teat I see.

I know. Is it really that fuckin hard?

Yes, I do like watching my thumbs move around. Utterly gripping.

And before you question my pedigree; I've played an unhealthy amount of COD Mobile for some bizarre, unknown reason. For some reason it took me several months to release how shit it was and how much time I wasted.

"Mobile is the biggest medium" - As Ubisoft struggles, Rainbow Six Mobile has launched to massive numbers. Can it help the troubled publisher turn the tide?

Rainbow Six Mobile creative director Olivier Albarracin discusses the challenges of bringing Rainbow Six to mobile, and how it can find success.

www.eurogamer.net

Rainbow Six Mobile seems to be off to a solid start, with over 10m downloads according to the Google Play store. While a PR representative was sure to note this figure includes both the pre-launch tests and post-launch player base, it's still not a shabby figure to see just over two weeks after its release. But while the early signs are positive, the mobile market remains a brutal one. Call of Duty Warzone Mobile, a follow-up to the hugely popular Call of Duty mobile, is the obvious example, with the recent news that its servers will shut down this April. If Call of Duty struggles on mobile, where are Rainbow Six's odds?

"With our team, we've been taking a lot of time to make a game our players want to play forever," Albarracin said. "To do that, we've iterated to make sure our stability is good, that on hundreds of devices [the] FPS is stable and connections are solid. It's a competitive game, so we don't want players coming on to find matchmaking is bad. So as long as we give players what they want - mastery and competitive integrity, content they enjoy - we'll be okay. This is something we've built and we have pipelines to ensure we can continue doing so, it's something we've focused on."
