Excerpt from the article
"At its finest, Rainbow Six Siege offers a brutally visceral, tactical experience that’s absolutely unrivaled on current generation hardware. The thoughtful class based design, coupled with the intense, moment to moment gunfights creates an experience that’s absolutely unrivaled in what it offers. Comparisons between Siege and games like Destiny or Call of Duty feel akin to those between Kinect Four, and Chess. Siege offers a brilliantly strategic platform where communication and intelligence are rewarded above all else, the definitive ‘thinking man’s shooter’ of this generation.
Unfortunately then, it’s with considerable dismay that Siege is impossible to recommend as a launch day purchase. "
The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.
well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3
But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.
Not even this Prey
Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy
The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.
Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got
Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.
Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.
Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.
Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.
Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.
Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.
Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.
There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life
No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.
Pretty much no game in Bethesda stables makes cod numbers instantly even fallout 4 Bethesda's best selling game sold 12 million at launch and over the next 10 years climbed to over 32 which cod would do rapidly
I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’
Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.
No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
It's not rainbow 6. There's no story. There's no team rainbow with fleshed out histories. It's just a CS wanna be. It's way worse than CS.
The game is boring. Should have kept patriots going.
It's a trap!
Counterstrike has no story, crates you have to buy and it's always the same thing on 1 or 2 maps. Rush A on Dust 2 Rush B on Dust 2.
Sorry but that game is way way more overrated than any other fps.
When I played the beta for RS Siege, I wasn't really impressed. I had a good time for awhile until boredom struck, but that stemmed primarily from the fact that everything I was seeing, I'd seen before...numerous times. It's generic, uninspired and unfortunate; it doesn't feel like Rainbow Six at all and that's because the developers fell off their path while trying to compete with Call of Duty and Battlefield. It's a terrible shame; Rainbow Six never had to compete with anything in the past because it was on its own, exclusive playing field. I can almost guarantee the only people who will be playing the game when it launches are the COD and Battlefield players who want something "new."
I've played the beta and I had fun with it and I'd like to get it but I'll wait and see how it sales. It'll need to move enough units to hold the community for a while. I don't think it has much if any single player component so it's pretty much always online, multiplayer so this being a huge hit may be a tall order. I always enjoyed the Rainbow games I hope this does well but time will tell.
