UK Forum Manager on Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for PS3: See the press release

On the official Ubisoft forums the UK Forum Manager has debunked yesterday's rumor that said that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is not coming to the PlayStation 3.

A forum member asked this: "Why is it only listed as 360 and PC? This is 4 PS3 as well right? Obviously that's the assumption since you're announcing it here. Could you confirm because the rumors are already flying that this is a 360/Windows exclusive."

UK Forum Manager ms-kleaneasy's answer is: "This weeks press release………".

She quotes the whole press release in her reply putting emphasis on "announced that it is developing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Vegas 2 for next-generation consoles and PC."

so if the mistake was pointed out why highlight that and not just change it?

[TheExecutive]

You dont say?!?!? It was an editing error? no way! :/

[Hydrollex]

boooooooooooooo !! At least they were happy for 1 day. Don't be sad, maybe PS3 get the ported version

[gamehendge]

"LOL Xbox 360 fans got PWNEDDDDD"

pretty much happens every 10 minutes on this site.

[Mikey_Gee]

I am a 360 fan .... much different than a FANBOY. Why would I feel, as you would say "PWNEDDDDD" ??

A killer game on BOTH consoles ... wow, what a hard concept to grasp.

I smelled bullsh!t on this soon as I read it and knew it would be on both consoles.

So, your statement is a bit off and a bit to blanket. But at least your fanboy colors show through.

All rabid fanboys really need to do the world a favour and drink some bleach and die. You really give the rest of the normal folks a bad name.

[QuackPot]

Xbox 360 fan ---> enjoys games on console of choice ---> good

Xbot ----> ignorant, bigotted fanboy ----> bad....very, very bad.

[Mikey_Gee]

I am with you on that comment 200%

[Vip3r]

I did say this rumour would be debunked and low and behold it did. Fanboys fail all the time.

[kspraydad]

that ASSURED the gaming world that she would be the first to know and the first to tell if HAZE was delayed....then the next day admitted she DIDN'T know it ahead of time.

I'll believe UBI when the SPECIFY the consoles which would be extremely easy for them to do.

[Polluted]

Exactly. Why point to an ambiguous press release? Why not specify, once and for all that it will/will not be coming to the PS3? I don't understand why gaming companies have to be so hush-hush about everything. Even if they aren't 100% sure about the PS3 yet, they could just say that they are considering it, but haven't made a decision yet. Her statement clarifies nothing. Stupid PR people.

[TheXgamerLive]

But I'd say it will get it, just not when the Xbox 360 and PC get it. It's really to early to tell until UBI makes a crystal clear official announcement on this.

But as of this moment UBI's website doesn't have the PS3 as getting the game. Just the Xbox 360 and the PC. Go check yourself.

[Kaneda]

I don't think they will delay the next one for PS3, Since they already have the code for Vegas... they will just tweak it and add new features...and make more money from us. It will not be hard for them to get it out on time for PS3...

[EDMIX]

They just re-confirmed the PS3 version, and yes it will come out day and date with the 360 version, Assassins Creed, COD4, and many more Multiplatform games have already come out day and date on both, so i have no clue why this would be any diffrent. Keep dreaming, don't you have 360 exclusives to look forward to? oh ya, MS game studios SUCKS!!! I forgot, MS has to pay 3rd partys for timed exclusives, cause they can't afford to make them, themselves, Thats why Lost Planet and Bioshock will be on the PS3 in spring.

[THAMMER1]

The problem for developers is not development at this point but how many PS3 owners will buy your game. I have few friends with PS3's and 360's but buy all the multi platform games for the 360. They only own like 1 or 2 PS3 games and have like 10 or more 360 games.

The PS3 has games on the shelves but allot of them feel like passable games I guess since I have chosen not to even waste my money on a PS3. I would hate to even have to defend it at this point.

[TheMART]

So where is the proof? That is the press release, but when I look at the official page...

http://www.ubi.com/UK/Games...

It still says 360/PC. Why isn't the PS3 version there in the first place? If not console exclusive for the 360, probably the PS3 version 6 months later and maybe that's why it's not listed yet???

[TheXgamerLive]

This post doesn't debunk the rumor, as stated above go to the website yourself. Yes, it will eventually get the game just maybe not when the real deal gets it. but that shouldn't be a shock to you sony fans, your use to it by now.

[Jandre02]

Look at TheMART digging for something. Even if it is, we have better FPS coming out next year anyways. And Socom. You can keep Rainbow Six 2. However, I dont think thats the case.

next-gen consoles doesn't mean all the different xbox SKU's. Get over it, there are no more surprise exclusives while the PS3 is selling well. The Xbox golden age is gone. I hope you took some pictures because it will never happen again.

[snoopgg]

Go to gamespy.com Ubisoft announced that the game will be coming to the ps3 in March 2008. Ps3 owners will indeed get to play this great game.

[Meus Renaissance]

Even if it was a timed exclusive, which I seriously doubt, I dont think PS3 owners would be crying considering the titles that will come in 2008. From a personal opinion, i believe it dismisses the 360 line up next year but that's just me and why I dont own a 360 anymore. No 2008 titles interested me. Whereas for the PS3...wow. I really hope Final Fantasy 13 is released sometime in the 3rd quarter, 2008 could be the best gaming year for us PS3 owners. GTA4, KillZone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Getaway, 8 Days, White Knight Story, Final Fantasy 13, God of War 3
Gran Turismo 5, Motorstorm 2, Tekken 6, SOCOM 4, Resistance 2 and HOME (Brilliant potential, streaming movies over the net with your friends in your virtual apartment.

The major franchises released in a window of a year. Expect N4G.com to be flooded with PS3 articles. And expect some of you buying PS3's next year. And so, Rainbow what? We're well set for games. I just wish now we were given free money to buy these games!

[ElementX]

Anyone who lists games deserves negative feedback. Lists are pointless.

[TheExecutive]

anyone who makes comments about how worthless lists are deserves negative feedback :)

On topic though, meus is right. With that lineup who really cares about rainbow?

[Meus Renaissance]

This rumour is obviously designed to negate the software list on the PS3, to antagonise PS3 owners regarding their purchase because there is the impression that the 360 will get everything whilst the PS3 will only lose titles and have nothing left to make it a purchase.

My list refutes that, and the possible negative wave that would come if R6Vegas were to be confirmed as a 360 exclusive. In other words, I wouldn't give a monkeys and I think most agree with me on that. If it was in 2007 when we had a saturated software market, I'd be planning a revolution to overthrow Sony but luckily they have me more than happy for 2008.

[ElementX]

Everyone knows what games are coming out. There's no need for everyone to list the games in every thread. I have a ps3, I know what's coming out.

Lists are just fanboy flamebait.

[antoinetm]

That list is known to everyone. (and has been posted over and over)

Only fanboys in denial keep repeating that the ps3 has no games.

And posting the list is just playing in their hand.

Tho i agree about R6V and i probably wont get it myself.
but i would probably have bought Splinter cell 5 :(

[QuackPot]

You have to admit.

I'm looking forward to LBP, KZ2 & GT5. If they are the only games I buy next year, I'll still be very, very happy.

2008 is going to be such an awesome year for PS gamers.

[Contra26]

wow. I love the insecurity.
Hmmm.. how about.. the great wonderful news about the 360's line up of games.

Ninja Gaiden2, Alanwake, Too Human, Lost Odyssey, SplinterCell: Conviction, Banjo Kazooie, Fable2, Thesis, Kingdom under fire, Gears of War 3. etc

and wait.....RB6...

and 2008..
you'll see news like..
"Lower PS3 attach rates"
"PS3 titles FLOPPING"
"Home is actually homo"
"360 lead platform"
"Addition content on 360's GTA"
"GT still doesnt have damage"
"FF13 now 30% complete"
"another clearance sale"

makes me wonder why you bought that blu-ray in the first place

[boodybandit]

you love the insecurity?
How about your own hypocrisy?

[supermandead666]

Gears of War 3?
lolololololololololololol

dude, r u high?

[kingboy]

Right On point Meus Renaissance! awesome list for 2008..lol that list scared the hell outta ElementX ..don`t worry we understand your reaction dude

[ElementX]

Oh yeah, i'm scared all right. I have PS3 so why would the list scare me? Don't you see my PS3 AND 360 Tags in my profile? Where are yours?

[AnalFace]

well... 360 fans... i'm laughing at you.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You fools (PS3fans) used every defense you could find to try and spin that sh!t yesterday. hehe why so defensive if you all "knew" is wasn't true? PS3 fans = tards, I bet you guys were 2 sec away from signing a petition and whining about it all over the net.

[Kaneda]

360 DUMB(_*_) ALERT!

[FPS nut]

He is an a-hole but there is some truth to what he said. Many of you harcore PS3fans did spend a heck of alot of time defending yesterdays rumors and many of those comments were far worse than his.

[BattleAxe]

I wish people would stop comming out with rediculous rumors like this. Of course RSV 2 is comming to the PS3. The first one seemed to do really well on the PS3.

[snoopgg]

They have the release story of Rainbowsix 2 from Ubisoft. It will indeed come out in March 2008 for the ps3.

[Double-Edged]

last time I checked...
RB6 was always a hit..
and Killzone was a joke.

hmmmmm interesting to see that PS3 suckers disregard the game just because it's not comming to the PS3.

wow.. anyways..
I will be enjoying the next installment of Rainbow Six...
SUCKERZ.

get pwned

[snoopgg]

This game is going to kick so much arse. You probally thought Halo 3 was a good Fps.

[snoopgg]

Go to Gamespy.com Ubisoft stated that there will be a ps3 ver. of rainbowsix vegas 2 in March 2008. So I guess that ps3 owners will also get to play this game too. Sucks to be so wrong.

[QuackPot]

Their developers now know how to program the Ps3 properly - although they got off to a slow start.

But now everything is sweet....no whinging from Ubi about any development woes.

Everything they make will likely be Multi unless a purchased exclusive.

[FPS nut]

Like Assissins Creed :-)

[QuackPot]

NOT how good a game is.

Ubisoft just released AC too early....for both machines....trying to get it to the holiday market for $$$$.

[Gahigiddy]

Well, considering PS3 2008 SMASHES 360 2008 we shouldn't need this, but let's go over the rules:

"Ninja Gaiden2, Alanwake, Too Human, Lost Odyssey, SplinterCell: Conviction, Banjo Kazooie, Fable2, Thesis, Kingdom under fire, Gears of War 3"

Firstly, only exclusive titles need be listed, so Splinter Cell, Alan Wake, Fable 2, Thesis and Kingdom Under Fire are gone. Next, we need Gears 2 before Gears 3, and even Gears 2 will be coming to PC/MAC, so it's not exclusive.
Banjo and Too Human are like Duke Nukem Forever, we'll wait until we see something at all until we can say they're games.

That leaves NG2 (MAAAAYBE) and Lost Odyssey, which will flop and be terrible just like Blue Dragon.

Wow, what a stunning lineup 360, unless of course some of your games are canceled like Wardevil was (now PS3 exclusive), or Marvel MMO.

[zonetrooper5]

I own both a 360 and PS3 so end of 2007 and the whole of 2008 will kick ass for me. =)

Although I will be poor. =(

[belal]

nice that this game is allso on ps3 ;) and i am allso happy that ps3 is getting some of the good games now ;) this pluss all the killer games coming next year will be great ;) atleast for us ps owners ;) 360 is allso getting some good games like alan wake, nija gaiden 2 etc, but next year will truly be a ps year

[PMR_21]

with all the smileys

[Spike47]

told u i would laugh when this rumor gets debunked.

[name]

Nice to see it's coming to the ps3 and all, but I would rather play resistance 2. =/ If little big planet isn't out by then then I'll buy it.

[Sevir04]

personally the first one was ugly for PC and 360 and was way too slow,, given that it was a tactical shooter and all but good lord, it was just too slow... i'll pass thank you... i'll take resistance 2 over that hunk of trash any day. besides KZ2 will be out by then it'll be awesome

[HarryEtTubMan]

The PS3 userbase is growing alot now... they woiuld be stupid to not make more money

[djroberts]

If you notice, the forum manager didn't answer my question.

[greenenvy]

why the hell wouldn't ubi soft come out and say its for playstation 3 also?

I'll tell you why.......its because its only on xbox360.

and unlike splinter cell, this game rainbow six vegas 2 is only time exclusive.............

its going to be exclusive to 360 for a while, that's what it means. that is the only way UBISOFT's press release makes sense

read it slowly.....then nod your head!!! :)

[Boink]

but isn't this the same genius uk forum manager that doesn't know haze is delayed?
