A cancelled entry in Ubisoft's tactical shooter series that would have been about an armed uprising against the US government. The game was succeeded by Rainbow Six: Siege.
Oh man, I just realized this was supposed to be something in the works, too.
I remember the article talking about the story experimenting with the idea of homegrown terrorism and found it intriguing. I know we're only a few months removed from the tragic Boston bombings, but I don't think that'd be reason for them to not talk about Rainbow 6: Patriots at all.
I loved everything about Rainbow Six Vegas 1 & 2, especially terrorist hunt. I want this game to come out but only if it has a similar feel to the last couple of games, otherwise it would just be another military shooter
God I hope not, that concept seemed cool and the story engaged me. One of the videos I remember was a group of guys barging into an executive's office, strapped a bomb to him, pushing him out the window of a sixty story building, and then detonating him above the street.
I do recall that much of what I saw of that game was taking 'business executives' hostage, putting bombs on them and then making them run away only to detonate them in crowds. I wonder if 'business executives' at the publisher started to feel uncomfortable with that imagery? LOL.
I think this game has been in development too long considering the themes that early trailer were hinting at. Occupy Wall street is so 2011. If they went ahead and released it with that theme next year it would look downright anachronistic.
If they stick to the domestic terrorism angle, expect considerable retooling.
"..Mallat told a group of media Sunday evening that the game "has a place in the studio," but would not say more.. Yves Guillemot said there was a "good chance" the game had been shifted to next-gen. Most recently, the title was pulled from the GameStop database.."
