Ubisoft has just officially revealed tactical shooter Rainbow 6: Siege.
It looks pretty good. Shame they had to pad out the trailer with the ridiculous team chat. Should have just showed it for what it was because it would have carried some weight without it
I think it looks cool. If you ever played a game called "SWAT" its the same exact thing, I am not sure if Ubisoft copied the formula and pasted it for this Raibow Six game and they killed Rainbow Six Patriots...
Ubisoft with another great E3...
Shape up looks really dope prolly the Only game that would make me want a X1 for .... deadass... Microsoft games just dont appeal to me idk y even though Phantom Dust did.. other then that nothing
Rainbow Six is awesome been waiting for this dam game to get re-announced...
Actually, the original Rainbow Six were not that different from this rescue mission either.
But to actually give the classic tactical shooters feel this will need some major bullet mechanics work and damage buff. Those bullet sponge moments were awful as well as how bad the hit detection seens to be... I know it's just pre-alpha, may very well had been rigged like that just for the E3 demo, but still this is primary concern for any tactical shooter so I hope they have that worked on.
SO far this was my wow for the day! I loved the teamwork with the countdown timer. My new very anticipated game! I know its pre alpha but I really hope the graphics get a lot better because it didn't seem like it was in a wide area that graphics should suffer.
I agree the stock voices were cringe-worthy at best. Let the game play do the talking......
Looks good, I like the concept and the destruction looks on point. Can't wait to see more on this one
Realism is sought after much in the modern gaming industry, and, more often than not, equates to gritty shooters. This is great for those who want to enjoy the pleasures of war without getting an explosion all over their faces. Indeed, fanboys seem to love telling me how “Battlefield is more of a war simulator than a game” and “Call of Duty is awesome and I’ll punch your face concave if you say otherwise.”
While both are compelling arguments, this revered realism is the very thing that drives me into a blind rage. With that in mind, read on to witness the raw power of my first world problems.
Quick Scoping! Nothing more realistic than THAT!
where do they teach that at? Navy Seal Jedi Hogwarts Academy?
I agree, but... I think the games just need to include the alternative and that is not looking down your scope, but raising the rifle and sort of "mock" aiming it as one would if all they had was a scoped rifle. Don't know what control scheme on a remote would allow for this function, but it'd be better.
But yeah, the looking down the scope for a millisecond and firing is retarded. And CoD in general has much bigger issues than this.
The main thing wrong with realistic games is that they are realistic. I play games to escape reality.
Once again bf/ea/dice makes many lists of fail, enemies can actually hide around in your HOME base and steal YOUR helis or kill you before you can do anything about it, and the impotent AI AA will do nothing (and they're placed so poorly another option like random spawn location would be best). UNFAIRNESS is the problem, just like the campers of old that would guard the "super weapons" and shaft you with them, games can either be made fair or unfair depending on how stupid/uncaring/lazy the dev is.
"Secondly, because we’ve got a taste for that sweet, sweet realism." No. I'd like BF etc a lot more if they were more realistic, explosions making pink mist and body parts flying everywhere, blood splattered and pooled, squished and broken bodies when tanks etc plow over them, wounded soldiers crawling unable to run, heads exploding like in that famous animated gif, etc. We also need OPTIONAL 'hardcore' modes where the game FORCES you to play the objectives instead of having 63 unskilled snipers wanting an easy OHK, etc.
Frankly I'm an adult and I want adult games, children and adults can easily play the same game together and see different things, just like with "gore filters", all we need is a verification system so we can stop getting the p-whipped gamma male version of games.
I am with you on the "visual" realism, but or those referring to the Red Orchestra or ARMA type "realism," no thanks.
Physics, destruction, gore, sure.
If he's talking realism, why even mention Battlefield or CoD? If that's realism, I'm the king of the moon.
What, you can't send a tank flying into the air with c4 and then take out a jet while in said tank, in real life? Your missing out on all the fun stuff, I do that shit every day. /s
I agree, cod and bf aren't realistic at all, they are arcade shooters, like halo. I dont find any validity in the points to the "realism" topic because of this.
I can understand the first point about camping, and gaining any advantage possible in a gun figh, but that is an outcome of any competitive shooter, and not just "realistic" shooters, as the author labeled it. War is fought differently in games than real life because of the mechanics. Camping doesn't necessarily give you the same advantage in a game than in real life
How does the second point relate to realism at all? A ranking system that attempts to match player skill isn't used in real life. And the idea is that generally those who have played more are better at the game. There is also the score per minute system which works better than time played. In real war you aren't given a fair chance necessarily, yet the last statement of point 2 is somewhat hypocritical to the realism topic
The third point totally rolls over the fact that CoD and other games aren't true to resl life. They have fictional wars, weapons, and technology. They try to stay in an era close to ours, but can be very creative in the sense that you describe it.
This article mistakenly calls CoD-style games "realistic" and then forms non-arguments why that is bad. The author should have just written an article on why he didn't like the prevelance of this style of game rather than write this. When I read realistic shooter, I think of games like Arma. Even though it does a better job of portraying realism than CoD, it still is limited by the fact it is only a game
You mean to tell me that you can't jump out an Airplane, snipe the pilot in the face while he is flying in another plane, and then parachute safely into the new plane, then hit a smoke stack with your wing, do a 360, but maintain control and keep flying in real life?
I thought Battlefield was as real as it gets!
/sarc
No, they aren't 100% realistic, but they are BASED in realism. Real weapons, real vehicles, etc...
You die after a couple bullets instead of 30 because your overshield absorbed the first 25.
Yes, they could go even further towards realism, but they would also be going further towards SUCKING. lol
So does that make historical games the worst games ever created? Are the only good games the ones with over shields? That is a matter of opinion.
Admittingly i notice how shooters prior to COD, BF as FPS Oversaturation took the market shooters were far more fun but then its now gone from fun to dull and flat out boring. Even Medal of Honor Warfighter doesnt interest me. The only modern shooter i enjoy is the Bioshock series cause its NOt another War game with a craptastic campaign. "Bioshock" is more about the story than COD & BF are.
Please bring us the next rainbow 6 for the xb1 and ps4! I miss those countless hours that i have spent playing rsv 1 and 2.
i agree please bring to next gen . enjoyed rsv sooo much .
We need something from Ubisoft before i am optimistic about the game again. Rainbow six vegas was one if my favorite games last gen and it saddens me what has happened to the game
