Rainbow Six turned 20 this week, yet another in a series of impressive milestones for Ubisoft's special ops series. It could equally be said that it’s been 20 years since the tactical shooter genre was born; or 20 years since ‘realism’ was seriously applied to an FPS; or 20 years since the Tom Clancy name began a journey towards becoming one of the most recognisable prefixes in gaming.Two decades on, the lead designer of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six looks back on a game-changing shooter.
Ubisoft's mid-season release for R6 Siege will introduce one of the most awaited MouseTrap anti-cheat features. The new MouseTrap anti-cheat is for the console version of the game, specifically designed to tackle the problem with the mouse and keyboard cheaters on consoles.
Players who have disabilities and can’t use a controller can opt to scan a QR code on the screen and Ubisoft will inspect each case separately to allow the use of a keyboard and mouse for those who need it.
"The Rainbow Six franchise is having a big year so far, with the announcement of Rainbow Six Mobile and the recent launches of Rainbow Six Extraction and Rainbow Six Siege's Demon Veil season. Now, Ubisoft Montreal has appointed videogame-industry veteran Cameron Lee as Vice President, Executive Producer.
In his new role, Lee will be responsible for creating the long-term brand strategy for the Rainbow Six franchise, and aligning and collaborating with all internal partners. Lee comes to the role with more than 20 years of experience as a producer, manager, and VP at companies including EA, Activision, Bungie, and BioWare, and has worked on such franchises as Tony Hawk, Call of Duty, and Dragon Age."
The recent Next-Generation controller caps really worked well and now KnotrolFreek has something that Rainbow Six fans will likely really love. The Black Ice Collection Is a stylish new update for fans.
You still call this a "tactical shooter"? LOL This thing hasn't been a tactical shooter since Rogue Spear, back in 99.
This garbage that they slap the name "Rainbow Six" on for the past 15 years now, is just that, garbage.
Better question: What kind of name is Kotaku?
