Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege

Next gen? Good, a little incentive to get a PS4 at launch.

Hopefully they show something at E3 this year.

Next gen? Good, a little incentive to get a PS4 at launch.

Even though they said current-gen when it was announced, I never believed them for a minute.

Hopefully they show something at E3 this year.

I'd imagine this is going to be one of their big showings during their presser.

Rumors floating that this game could be officially unveiled tomorrow. Ubisoft Toronto is set to unveil a game tomorrow, and while they are currently working on 5 projects, all signs point to this being the one they show off.

.

Huh? This game was announced like three years ago.

Huh? This game was announced like three years ago.

2011 E3 IIRC. At that point everyone knew next-gen wasn't too far down the line. They didn't bring real footage of the game. Just seemed too far off at that point to be a current-gen game.

EDIT: I'm completely brain farting. Not E3. It was a concept trailer revealed in November of 2011.

Damn, I hope it's true. The is honestly the only game I'm anxiously waiting for. I'm bored of other shooters.

So much for Ubisoft Toronto trotting this game out today. Damn turds. I'm guessing what they 'unveiled' was the Spies vs. Mercs video for Splinter Cell.

Gamescom: Rainbow 6: Patriots ‘Still Cooking’
The other Tom Clancy franchise isn’t forgotten just yet.

Ubisoft has provided another brief update on Rainbow 6: Patriots. In an interview at Gamescom, Ubisoft executive director Alain Corre said that work is still underway on the game, but that the team wants to get it "perfect" before it's re-revealed.

“On Rainbow 6, it’s still cooking,” Corre told IGN. “It’s an important franchise for Ubisoft. We want to make sure, on this one, like all the other games we’re working on, that we bring it when we feel it’s perfect.”

When asked if the game will still be called Patriots and if it’s the same premise as the original reveal, Corre was coy.

“We can’t say yet. We’re iterating,” he said. “What we want is to have a compelling story. We want people who play the next Rainbow 6 to be astonished, to be very pleased with what they see. You’ve seen that the improvement in games over the last few years has been exponential. We have to reflect that improvement in quality. That’s what we’re doing on all our games.”

“What we have to do, and it’s something that is very important for us, is that we bring a new iteration when we believe that we have enough creativity, enough innovation, to make something worth waiting for,” he said. “On some games, it happens more often. Creation is not an exact science. When we’re happy with what we see, when we think we can bring something new to gamers, then we say, ‘okay, this is a good time to release it.’”

At E3, Ubisoft confirmed to IGN that Rainbow 6: Patriots has shifted to next-gen consoles but never actually used the title "Patriots" in referring to it. Very few concrete details about Rainbow 6 have been revealed since its original announcement, and the game was even removed from GameStop's database back in May.

Look out for more from our talk with Corre in the days to come.

I don't want to be too pessimistic, but that looked fake. I really love the destructable environment stuff though.

VIA IGN: Ubisoft has announced Rainbow Six: Siege is in development at Ubisoft Montreal, coming in 2015.

The footage shown during the press conference demonstrated an early multiplayer match with one team attempting to rescue a hostage from the opposing forces. Environmental destruction plays a key role in how matches unfold, and it's possible to blast through walls and doors get to your objectives.

Siege's multiplayer is a 5-on-5 competitive game in which the terrorist team fortifies a defensible room the Rainbow operative team breaches. Creative director Xavier Marquis told IGN matches typically last just three minutes. Players who rescue hostages during hostage missions gain additional points, which encourages teams not to simply treat each breach like a death match.

Ubisoft Montreal is using a version of Assassin's Creed's Anvil Next engine called "Scimitar," which has allowed the team to incorporate procedural destruction to its levels. A new technology called Blast Tech has players punching holes in walls, doors, windows, floors, and ceilings with explosives, shotguns, and other destructive gadgets and guns.

Rainbow 6: Patriots was announced back in 2011. It went dark shortly after, and in 2013, Ubisoft told IGN that Rainbow 6: Patriots "had to be remade."

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is the upcoming installment of the acclaimed first-person shooter franchise developed by the renowned Ubisoft Montreal studio for the new generation of consoles and PC.

Inspired by the reality of counter terrorist operatives across the world, Rainbow Six Siege invites players to master the art of destruction. Intense close quarters confrontations, high lethality, tactics, team play, and explosive action are at the center of the experience. The multiplayer gameplay of Rainbow Six Siege sets a new bar for intense firefights and expert strategy in the rich legacy of past Rainbow Six games.

Counter Terrorist Units
Assume the roles of global counter terrorist operatives, specializing in close-quarters combat, demolition and brutally precise execution of coordinated assaults.

The Siege Gameplay
Breach enemy strongholds with new tactical measures or fortify your own with defensive resources in both sides of sieges, a brand-new mode of assault combat for the Rainbow Six series.

Procedural Destruction
Change the landscape of your assault with an unprecedented level of environmental destruction. Walls can be shattered, and floors and ceilings can be breached. Mastering the element of destruction is the key to victory.
