1up story

Not sure what to think of this. I've hated every R6 game I've played on a console, and it's only gotten more Rambo with each new game in the series.

 

[Kimi]

You preferred it on PC, Rogue Spear style?

Hell yes. I'd say Raven Shield, but I had a hard time playing it because it was so buggy. That, and my PC at the time sucked dong.

 

[blindrocket]

I thought it was awesome on the PC.
Totally not digging the route they are (have been) taking.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Kind of a strange venue for an R6 game, but I guess... When the hell is SWAT hitting consoles already?!

HOLY SHIT.

 

[Kimi]

I loved Raven Shield despite its all of its bugs...played the shit out of it every day for two years.

 

[Captain N]

I resized it..I can see them liking that camera for shooting now..It looks like Ghost Recon & Splinter Cell feel to it..if that's supposed to be a gameplay shot.

HOLY SHIT.

wow

 

[Amir0x]

Hot shit!

That OTS view better not be the only view

 

[radrelic]

wtf rainbow six is third person now?

 

[op_ivy]

looks pretty cool

 

[OatmealMu]

It's certainly looking pretty, but I miss the days of Rogue Spear, too. :\ The Zone tended to suck, but the game certainly made up for it.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

While I'm not the biggest fan of R6, I think the series has gotten prgressively better over time. I hope the R6:vegas is a big jump forward like GRAW has been.

 

[Kimi]

Whoa whoa whoa nobody said anything about OTS view. Third person view hasn't been in the title since Raven Shield. Let's not jump to conclusions just yet.

Well, the screen in question looks exactly like the GRAW view. And given the fact that Ubi seems intent on pushing their lame characters on us, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the game is now in 3rd person.

 

[Kimi]

So many people bitched and complained about third person "cheating" in Rogue Spear, so I'd be hesitant to think they'd implement OTS as a view option.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Is this running on PS3 dev kit or X360 currently? Anyone know?

 

[Doom_Bringer]

What's going on here? :lol

Probably X360, Ubi hasn't shown any PS3 games yet. They showed target renders of Project Assasin and that FPS game at E3 but thats about it

 

[CharlieDigital]

RS was ass kicking. Reinstalled it a few weeks ago and the graphics are still...not bad.

Loved the MP; very intense, especially on smaller maps like CSL.

<tangent>
Anyone playing America's Army nowadays? It's the game most similar to RS in gameplay, I feel, with the key exception being the lack of weapons and load-out choices.
</tangent>

 

[Odysseus]

More like Rainbow Six 2006 v.1, which still leaves room for another iteration. And with GRAW out this week, look for GRAW 2 this November!

 

[Amir0x]

It's definitely 360. Also, apparently the next-EGM has previews for X-Men 3, Stuntman 2 and Splinter Cell: Double Agent all for 360. So it should definitely be a nice issue.

 

[Willy Wanka]

Well it's not much but I'm loving that screen.

 

[golem]

heh.. still a bit less than 3 days left on the R6 site countdown.. guess 1up spilled the beans.

Sweet. I love Ubi for going all out next-gen

 

[siamesedreamer]

I hope they get rid of the arcadey feel of Lockdown and go back to the more tactical feel of RS3 on Xbox.........and seriously improve the AI.

 

[Mrbob]

I need to buy this EGM.

Kimi are you saying this one plays like Rogue Spear on the PC? I hope so as this is my favorite RB6 title.

 

[crunker99]

let the speculation fest begin!

 

[<nu>faust]

the screen almost looks like it's hand drawn.

No no, it was just a speculative question to the original poster. I'm not allowed to talk about anything specific just yet.

Didn't SWAT 4 sell horribly on PC?

 

[Kimi]

It's Kathleen's dog Minnie, which someone here turned into a gif after last week's 1UP show!

 

[Kimi]

I hear the expansion pack is pretty sweet...haven't played it myself though. I thoroughly enjoyed the original SWAT 4, if the player speed had been around 15% faster I would have enjoyed it more.

 

[Odysseus]

Didn't SWAT 4 sell horribly on PC?

Well, it is the PC market, after all.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

doesn't everything not made by Blizzard sell horribly on the PC?

 

[Kimi]

Or The Sims

 

[Borys]

doesn't everything not made by Blizzard sell horribly on the PC?

Pretty much.

Blizzard and Valve.

RSV looks awesome. Ubi will be raping my wallet this year. :/

I doubt it will be 3rd person. The screen shot is probably just to show off the graphics better, but I guess 3rd person is a possibility.

Vegas as a location is a fertile place for intresting maps to play on. All the different hotel styles and outlandish style.

I would like to see iron sights though for when you use pistol. First person view cross hairs make sense for guns like an MP5 mounted with a special sight/scope, but when you aim with a pistol it should be iron sights only. I always liked Metal Gear Solids iron sights feel when you aimed with a pistol.

 

[MbGCaM]

I need more info and screens of this!

Ubisoft is doing a great job with the next gen.

 

[Ghost]

RS - drab dull enviroments = win


I wasnt a fan of Tom Clancy games this gen but boy, they've really up'd their game for 360.

 

[R0nn]

Ubi just keeps delivering on the next-gen front it seems.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Ubisoft are freaking gods. GRAW and R6: Vegas... Wooo, can't wait!

 

[epmode]

I loved Xbox RS3 SO MUCH. Then Black Arrow was released.
Maybe this one won't suck!

Oops, uh....never mind I already responded to this question. I'm a noob, I just woke up.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

please dont be like lockdown

 

[lethial]

Come on Ubisoft, am I the only one who thinks it's time for some NEW franchises?
