Archief - Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Patriots

Kotaku zei:

Team Rainbow faces a new and very real threat called the “True Patriots,” a highly-trained, well-organized revolutionary group that claim the American government is irrevocably corrupted by greedy politicians and corporate special interests. The True Patriots will do whatever it takes to reclaim their country. Playing as Team Rainbow, players will face critical scenarios that will require them to make tough ethical decisions in order to stop this new breed of terrorists.

A report over on Kotaku states the next Rainbow Six game may provide players with morality choices in the next yet-to-be-titled iteration in the series.


According to the report, it will contain a more story-driven experience than previous entries in the series, and focuses on a terrorist organization operating within the United States. The cell is run by citizens fed up with a corrupt Wall Street and government, so the malcontents decide to take out their frustrations on New York City.

How the morality system will come into play, is through decisions made by the player as they progress through the game. Since the decision they make affect the path taken through the game, it will take more than one play-through to experience all the levels. The developers are still debating whether the morality system will be included in the game or not.

A demo shown to Kotaku, depicted a stranger who wad kidnapped and bomb-strapped by the US terrorist group. The player steps into the role of this stranger, and must hold down the trigger button to keep from being blown to bits.

Another part of the demo showed the player controlling the Rainbow Six team, which was trying to stop the terrorist cell from detonating a bridge leading into the city. The bomb, is of course, still strapped to the stranger at this point.

Rainbow Six must decide whether to take out the stranger and save the lives the city’s citizens on the bridge or risk it all. One of the choice options shown was the player grabbing the stranger and throwing him off the bridge. He blows up in the process, and you see flashbacks of his life as it happens.

It was reported also, that augmented-reality will allow players to located team members as well as target body parts on enemies, which will give you the option of killing them or just knocking them out cold.

This is the second report regarding Rainbow Six from Kotaku.

Two website domain registrations may tip Ubisoft's hand for the return of its tactical Tom Clancy shooter.

We haven't seen a new Rainbow Six game since 2008's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, so we're guessing Ubisoft is concocting a new sequel to the dormant series behind closed doors in one of its international locations.

Earlier this year, Kotaku reported the series was moving in a more narrative direction with a moral tale about an American terrorist group who strikes New York City over the "greed of Wall Street and the government that acts to protect them." Now that rumored game may have a name.

According to Fusible, Ubisoft has registered the Rainbow6Patriots.com and RainbowSixPatriots.com domains.

Ubisoft's tactical shooter series is back with bold new narrative direction.

The December issue of Game Informer features 12 exclusive pages of coverage detailing Rainbow 6 Patriots, the controversial new entry in the Tom Clancy series that places gamers in the shoes of Team Rainbow, a homegrown terrorist uprising, and the civilians caught in the crossfire. This new terrorist threat, called the True Patriots, hopes to restore its interpretation of American values by beheading corporate America and overthrowing the government. As a member of a new Team Rainbow cast, players must ask themselves how far they are willing to go to stop the militia.

“Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6," said creative director David Sears. "In Rainbow 6 Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction. This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Rainbow 6 Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience.”

In addition to an in-depth look at the campaign, the cover story also explores the new tactical improvements being injected into the old Rainbow formula and addresses how developer Ubisoft Montreal hopes to recapture the multiplayer crown from Call of Duty and Battlefield.

Ze hadden bij Ubisoft toch iets meer variatie kunnen gebruiken. Mijn eerste reactie was dus ook "Sam Fischer?"

Little has been said about the upcoming Rainbow 6: Patriots anti-terrorism shooter since word came that three of the top developers had left the team in March, but Ubisoft's CEO tells Polygon that the game is still in development and could be headed for a next-gen release.

"The only thing I can say is that we have a good team working on it, and it's really looking good," Ubisoft chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot told Polygon. "So when it will come, it will surprise the industry."

When asked if the game will be a next generation title, Guillemot said he couldn't confirm that but "there's a good chance it can be."

We hebben een tijd niks gezien van Rainbow Six. Is dat nog een game voor deze generatie of voor de volgende?

Yves: Ik kan daar helaas niet veel over vertellen. Het is een goed team dat eraan werkt en ze hebben goede ideeën. Het kost ons wel wat tijd om alles goed uit te zoeken en het juiste gevoel in de game naar voren te brengen.
