I really don't see this game doing well. But good on them for making this call.

I swear I haven't seen anyone excited about this. All the footage they've shown at previous game shows felt like it went on way too long, and the whole thing just felt so bizarre to me.

 

[wipeout364]

Wow that's crazy, they must have been getting terrible feedback. I think they really should have made this the platform for Siege 2, kept all the current maps operators and then started building out with siege 2 exclusive maps and slowly and make this game PS5/series X/S exclusive

Rainbow six is a sacred shooter, sad to see it go this route.

I played a technical test of it recently and it was ok, but nothing amazing. Everything felt smoother and snappier than in Siege, but I wouldn't pay more than 20 bucks for it.

Should have built a proper R6 title while keeping Siege around. Or at least made this with actual terrorist hunt in mind instead of aliens.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

$60 US down to $40. Wow. UBI looking desperate.

Damage control lol. It's too bad the "damage" is the game itself.

This.

They made a game that literally no one in the community (or outside the community) even remotely asked for.

Proper PvE terrorist Hunt...a classic R6....Been wanting that since the training missions in Siege.

Is it releasing with a better game?

 

[ManaByte]

It's basically a co-op Siege expansion. So the lower price makes sense.

Same could be said for Battlefield.

They should be commended for this. $40 is a very fair price.

This is what makes this game so confusing. People love the lore in Siege, to the extent where there's a dedicated lore team in place now building out back stories and content for them - comics, cartoons, animations etc. In every Pro League major / new season reveal now there's a dedicated timeslot for the lore team to talk about this shit. They're really invested into it.

There's a huge community of cosplayers and fan art. People chomping at the bit to see this universe expanded.

So they think: ok let's do zombies instead, lolz.

A proper PvE game could have been used to leverage even more MTX sales in Siege, and bring even more players to shore up the Siege matchmaking base.

This whole thing is a string of retarded decisions.

 

[Shifty1897]

100% the reviewers they hired to predict metacritic trashed the game and this is their Hail Mary.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Same could be said for Battlefield.

I want to say battlefield is above where rainbow six, do the math battlefield sells it does have core pieces from 1942, battlefield 3, familiar elements from the originals now with rainbow six you have to deal with a completely different concept which isn't necessarily bad.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Rainbow Six Extraction has an entirely free post-launch program with limited-time events and new content.

Maelstrom Protocol, a challenging endgame mode for skilled players, will be available at Launch.

 

[captainraincoat]

I played the technical preview…..without blowing my nda the price drop is probably a good call

 

[CitizenZ]

LOL basically just posted same sentiment on Beyond Good and Evil 2. Absolute dying publisher with no fucking clue.

 

[Aion002]

Wow... They had the guts to release Breakpoint for 60 usd... Imagine how bad this thing is for them to sell at a lower price.
