Will Rainbow Six Siege Go The Way of Evolve and Titanfall?

Rainbow Six Siege and The Trials of Novel Multiplayer Concepts

[zsquaresoff]

Imo, the thing with rainbow six is that its more focused and realistic as compared to Evolve and titanfall.

The concept of invading a house or robbing a bank is more exciting than running after a monster over and over again.

[Crimzon]

The last thing I care about when I'm playing a video game is how realistic it is. If anything, I consider realism to be a negative, not a positive. Everyone has different tastes of course but for me the concept of fighting aliens in strange jungles or stomping around in giant robots is much more exciting than uh, invading a house...

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

For some reason I thought Titanfall and Evolve had done pretty good.

[Elit3Nick]

But that's up to opinion, some people might be more drawn to a sci-fi setting like Evolve. From what I've seen so far, Siege offers less than what Evolve offers, adding more houses won't really change much, since the core gameplay is still the same. They need to add more traditional gametypes like TDM, CTF, etc if they want to hold a community for a significant amount of time.

[JeffGUNZ]

This is just one game mode. It is set to have cooperative modes and other stuff. I hear even a single player. Granted, this is chatter, but I doubt it will just be this mode.

[3-4-5]

Rainbow 6 will maintain a core niche audience / fanbase throughout the life of this gen.

It does enough different and it's really a tactical shooter more than anything.

Some people don't have the patience or want to play those so it won't outsell the COD's.....well it might, but I'd say it will remain actice and healthy for a few years.

People still play CS. This is the next closest thing available on consoles.

Is counter strike still played? I rest my case.

[camel_toad]

I played the alpha of Evolve and the beta of Titanfall and didnt pre-order either one - although my friend eventually bought me titanfall which we wore out quickly. After playing the RB6 alpha for a few days now I can definitely say Ill be pre-ordering it. It's really fun and just as you mentioned with counter-strike its that kind of fun but with a lot of gameplay elements that add a whole lot more to it.

Ive needed a mp fps like this for a long time. Tons of fun.

[curtis92]

Maybe I haven't seen enough of the game yet but the whole "shoot through everything" feels like it's one of those things that looks AMAZING in these gameplay demos where you have everyone playing like they should and where everything is very scripted... but what will a MP game look like with a bunch of kids who don't give a ****? Just starting every game firing through walls, hoping to hit others? How will it not be spammed?

[hiredhelp]

Dont think everything from what ive watched is destroyable plus this is alpha stage alot changes be made.
If devs do this right in level design gameplay you should find that teamplay should be big here so not everyone be exploding every wall possible plus you can reinforce walls if your the criminal.

[IrishSt0ner]

Game plays even better than it looks. Spraying through walls will get you nowhere (defenders can reinforce walls so bullets/charges don't even get through).

You need a mic that's for sure, I think that's what the reveal was gettting at... I stopped using mics years ago as they're rarely used for their purpose of teamwork, within 10min on R6 siege I had one plugged in and was cooperating fully.. it's just a necessary part of the game to win.

At the end of the day run-and-gunners get nowhere, team work or die it's that simple.

[Scrivlar]

It is a fair question to ask, I mean they could have added a few more game types to change things up a bit, like terrorist hunt or attack and defend ( Calypso Casino anyone? )

[Saijahn]

Titanfall is still pretty fun and at times addicting. The campaign was pretty awful but it's definitely still getting some time on my xbox 1. I was really looking forward to Rainbow Six Patriots so when that was canned I didn't take Siege serious. With the latest videos and info coming out, it's on my radar now. I like tactical shooters, and outside of the arcadey type of enemy outline this game is looking right up my alley.

[Masterchief_thegoat]

I just hope rainbow6 is not nerf, to please the casual crowd. if is play like rainbow 6 las vegas 2, then i will play the shit outta this. r6lv2 was for skill players

[MilkMan]

Sure looks like it based on what I've seen. Funny thing is the more I look at the game the more it reminded me of Evolve. I was looking forward to another, better terrorist hunt with great engine, dynamic content, the works. I sure hope that's still in there, cause the core game doesn't look all that satisfying.

[The_Sage]

Just like Evolve, I was really excited for this, but the more I see of it the less I care.

[IrishSt0ner]

Best MP tactical shooter I've ever played, and I've had them all.. CSs, ARMAs, Rainbows, CoDs, Battlefields etc...

I thought the videos started looked stale/boring too. Got to play in the closed alpha and my mind changed instantly.. the game plays amazing, rapelling walls, peeking through windows upside down, breaching through roofs, walls, doors.. hunting enemies like real like a SWAT team, covering fire works, securing corners in dust filled rooms.. tense tense atmosphere.

Probably not for everyone, but for me, this is the shit.

Beta is coming to PC/PS4/Xbox later this year, can judge for yourself.

[MCTJim]

Not to burst gamingbolt's bubble, but Titanfall had an extremely long staying power even 11 month after release...so not sure where they pulled Titanfall from.

[DougLord]

Titan Fall was incredibly successful. It was the 3rd most successful game on XOne selling 2.6mm units, 1.2mm for 360 and over 500k for PC. Author is a complete troll. Evolve has yet to break 1mm units - although it is outselling The Order 900k to 750k.

[700p]

exactly, Titanfall was still topping charts many months after release. They are making titanfall 2 for a reason lol

[ScorpiusX]

Wish they would have skipped this one and went with the Patriot instead , now that game looked way intense ......

[OLSKOOLGAM3REGARDLES]

@castillo I 100% agree

[abstractel]

My theory on this (and has been for a while): These MP games gets lots of hype in the media because people who work in the games media have lots of gamer friends they can play with. Not everyone does. Publishers/Devs therefore underestimate the importance of a true single player component. I mostly only play the CODs and the BF's for the SP campaign because, while short, pack a visual punch and are _usually_ fun.

I'd be curious how much COD would sell without the SP campaign. I'm sure it would still be a lot, but I also think it would make a huge dent.

We don't know yet if Rainbow Siege will have a proper SP campaign. They've never said it won't have one as far as I am aware so the "going the way of Titanfall and Evolve" comments are a bit early.
