For some reason I always gravitate towards wheelchair characters when given the option so I'm all for this

 

[Bloobs]

 

[sigmaZ]

Nice to see games adding more accessibility options.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

In the pink bright future of R6 Siege every terrorist hideout is ADA compliant.

 

[Embearded]

It's been years since Siege lost its appeal.
It was the best shooter with good balistics and characters and now its full of meaningless characters with pink skins that create unrealistic situations that break immersion.
This is just another addition to the nonsensical updates they've been pushing.

 

[hlm666]

Doesn't look like whoever thought this was "cool" does much with wheelchairs, they would have their emotion wheels connected to the the big ass computer/screens sitting on the front of the chair. The good news is they could roll around the map backwards when firing because it's a manual chair without brakes. May aswell have used a hover chair at this point the thing even strafes...........

Can you give him a flat and hobble him

[RagnarokIV]

Fucken hilarious. The game is a joke anyway.

Looks like the shit post "Rolling Thunder" operator is now real

 

[Killer8]

Who needs barbed wire and door barricades when we've got STAIRS.

 

[winjer]

Ubisoft does so much political pandering.

 

[Xtib81]

But why ?

 

[StueyDuck]

Why does ubisoft want me to shoot disabled people?

There is no way that this doesn't end up looking comical.

Majority of siege maps are heavily stairwell oriented. And if they are an attacker does that mean they'll rappel too

Fucking ubisoft

 

[FeralEcho]

Why does ubisoft want me to shoot disabled people?

So you can feel even worse playing the slop they release.

Modern devs don't want their players to feel like they actually have fun.

 

[Spyxos]

How does he walk up the stairs? And you can't climb onto the roof either? Either they are reworking all the maps or this class makes no sense at all.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Please let this be real. I'm thinking this is a 7d chess strategy to give the game some virality for a couple weeks. Man I've stopped playing after the release of the Italians, what has happened with the game

 

[John Bilbo]

Is there a jump button in the game?

 

[Kupfer]

If you shoot their legs, does it apply damage?

 

[TVexperto]

I was ready to shit on it .. but they actually made the character cool? I think its a good addition and much better than other shit operators they put out the last few years

 

[nani17]

We have a guy in a wheelchair and we still don't have the Irish Defense Force what the fuck.

 

[elbourreau]

The guys at Ubisoft are out of control........

 

[Gp1]

 

[BlackTron]

I'd prefer a set of Spartan armor that can walk with a little handicap tag in the visor.

They stopped adding realistic forces ages ago.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Ubisoft does so much political pandering.

What political pandering? Disabled people are one of the most kind and patient people, they are used to having thick skin and being treated like shit. You probably need to try multiple times more to piss of a disabled person than a member of the alphabet rainbow brigade.
This is really the case of someone at Ubisoft being braindead and seeing no difference between woke and physical disability. You cannot "feel like you have legs" the same way you "feel like you are in the wrong body".

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Wait, is the OP and everyone else stupid or maybe blind? Because I just checked the videos and it looks like it's a tag team of human operator and a robot she controls? Then the gimmick is to switch between them or something? Either way it's not the wheelchair person that is moving.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Wait, is the OP and everyone else stupid

No the game is stupid.

Yeah I really should have watched the clips before commenting.

Based on the clips it seems you don't really control the wheelchair guy but the robots. So it doesn't matter if the game has a jump button. The guy in the wheelchair won't be jumping anyway.

First off, I was talking about Ubisoft. Not disabled people. What Ubisoft is doing does not come from a place of goodness and compassion, it's comes from political pandering, just like everything they have done in recent times.
Second, disabled people are just like everyone else. Some are good people, some are bad. And even the way they act varies with each day, just like everyone else.
Let's not pretend they are worse or better than any one else. They might have some challenges, but they contribute for our society.

 

[Holammer]

They better add access ramps and wheelchair lifts to existing maps then.

 

[Fake]

How?

 

[lughnasadh123]

Wheelchair in a fight isn't realistic but neither is respawning. There's room for some fun - that's the whole point of video games, and I'd bet people who are disabled including vets injured in wars might enjoy this.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

New gameplay video:




Jokes aside, I am glad they added it, I see no issues with it.

 

[KeepThemEyesOpen]

I have no issue with this whatsoever.

 

[STARSBarry]

What's the problem here? He seems wheely good, I can't wait for this update to roll out.

 

[AJUMP23]

Kojima did it and no one complained. It is Fantasy.

 

[Chupanibre]

This place is becoming so anti-woke that it feels like I'm on Truth Social sometimes. It's like the kids I teach that join in with the hazing because everyone else is doing it.

Also, it looks like it'll work fine to me.

 

[Bond007]

Siege was so amazing its first few years.
Nothing to do with this wheel chair addition. But the game is essentially a cartoon now.

 

[acidagfc]

NVM, this one is actually decently implemented. Not sure if it was needed, but certainly not as bad as it sounds from the title.
I should stop failing for the clickbaity titles.

 

[realcool]

See! Ramping up the inclusivity in our chairacter design has led to a roll model that wheel positively affect players.

I was hoping for armored and weaponized hover chair. It would have been kind of interesting, lol.

 

[Sephimoth]

Stopped playing ages ago because it started turning into a superhero game.

This is hilarious TBH

 

[I'm nobody]

I'll feel bad shooting him

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[SJRB]

Be careful going prone because it's gonna take you three minutes to climb back into the chair.

 

[realcool]

I'll feel bad shooting him

you'll change your tune when the fucker does donuts on your corpse

 

[TGO]

Be interesting to see the fit for duty test video
