Ubisoft sends some concept art for Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots, the next installment in the series of tactical shooters featuring the Team Rainbow special operatives. The art is accompanied by the following new feature list:

UNPRECEDENTED NARRATIVE - Patriots' storyline explores an ultra-realistic what-if scenario inspired by real events and characters. The game will allow players to experience events from multiple perspectives creating an unprecedented level of immersion.
A NEW THREAT FOR A NEW TEAM - Terrorism has evolved and Team Rainbow must face an organized militia of home-grown insurgents. As the leader of a new squad, players will wrestle with difficult ethical decisions and determine if the doing-whatever-it-takes mentality is needed to stop the enemy.
ENHANCED SQUAD MANAGEMENT - At the press of one button, the Rainbow squad will perform the most efficient and deadly tactic given the context of the situation. When extreme measures are required, or when players call for it, you can take full control of your squad to plan the perfect assault.
EVOLVED COMBAT - The game's combat techniques have been pushed to the next level with cover and weapon systems redesigned to accommodate every combat situation. New Rappel and Breach mechanics are now enriched with multiple new techniques including Wall & Ceiling Breach, Fast Rope Rappel, inverted 'Aussie Style Rappel', Infiltrate & Subdue, just to name a few.
INTENSE MULTIPLAYER EXPERIENCE - Players will be rewarded for working as a team and mastering the game's new features that enhance communication and tactical execution between teammates. Once such feature found in the pre-game online lobby is the Sandtable, a holographic display that helps acquaint players with the level maps before they jump into the action. This will help players strategically coordinate attacks and add a new dimension to squad tactics.
SURPRISE AND OVERPOWER ENEMIES - Utilize the game's new Scan mode to strategically breach and infiltrate areas. This new tool will provide a thermal read on the situation, allowing you to determine the squad's best course to overwhelm and defeat enemies.

Yep. And then pirates like yourself with your "try before you buy... or maybe never" attitudes and your sense of entitlement to deserve free games ruined it for us all. Well done. Thank you very much... golfclap Yes, I'm sure Ubisoft stopped making tactical shooters because of piracy...

Ubisoft will be cancelling PC version of this game as well. Most of the people working there are bean counters and not gamers. When the Wii accounts for more then half your sales your already in trouble. Rainbow Six and GR are dead. If they ever made a PC version it would be a crappy port for sure. They hate PC gamers, They hate their fans, and they hate paying customers. Some things haven't changed in the last 10 years.

These haven't been tactical shooters for a long time now, they are basically straight up FPS games with a push butan mechanic to get your dudes to attack stuff.




Playing: Faster Than Light, Tales of Graces F, Fire Emblem 3DS Watching: Ghost in the Shell, Hannibal, Oblivion

There's a really, really simple way of determining what type of game this new Rainbow 6 is going to be, I'll answer this question with one simple fact. If the main character(s) run around the game without headgear, while their other teammates wear full headgear, you can bet we're getting another game like Vegas. The 'main' hero is so badass that he doesn't need a helmet or any of that stuff. Bring back Ding Chavez and the actual tactical nature of Rainbow Six games, not this new-age console bullshit with fast-repelling down the side of a fucking bridge during a colossal rainstorm. Take it down a few notches Michael Bay. This game will be a major fail.

That last picture is totally a screenshot of the game fyi. you can see the aliasing on the bridge ropes and the polygon shapes. Edit: the fifth "concept art" is a mix. the solider jumping in the center of the screen is definitely a model. everything else on the screen is definitely painted.

They certainly managed to stamp out whatever faint hope PC gamers had left for the franchise. Fuck their F2P bullshit.

I'm thinking we'll be finding out soon that the PC version has been canned. Ghost Recon Future Soldier was originally announced for PC and then dropped, so it's possible this will turn out the same. I think they only dropped GR:FS to try and boost interest in the free to play game, though, no matter what else they say.
