    IGN: E3 2013: Rainbow 6: Patriots is Next-Gen

    "And Rainbow 6 got caught in the transition of going to next-gen and essentially we’re figuring out ‘well, are we making the right game for the right hardware systems?’ And you know, on Watch Dogs, the guys have been working on that game and it’s always been a next-generation game in their minds and the way they were designing it. And at the end of the day when the specs showed up for next generation, they had guessed right. That’s not always the case.” ..

    For further clarification, we directly asked Key if it’s safe to say the game will be next-gen at this point, and he simply said “yes.”

    Aw, shit. Yo. So, The Division looked cool.. But,. well 3rd-person is just not the same. Rainbow 6 going next-gen, confirmed, is fucking awesome. Their old 'Patriots director left, (Sears) and the rumor was that he didn't seem to get along with Ubi.. So that's weird. David Sears' had that H-Hour KickStarter, and it seems like its going slow.. Too slow.

    But anyway, at least this isn't canceled. Fucking Dope. :D

    Well, I love their old video.

    Well... that was a close one! I was worried when there were rumors of reservations being cancelled and everything, but I'm guessing the preorders that got shut down were for the transitioning generation's consoles and not the upcoming ones. I am definitely excited to see everything that have in store for Patriots.

    Wasn't it Next Gen to begin with? I'm not really surprised by this.

    Why is there a not actual gameplay footage note in the corner?

    @green_incarnate: Because it's probably not actual gameplay footage but your guess is as good as mine!

    I can see really good multiplayer coming out of this. They could build a merged-world between single and multiplayer the way 'The Division' does.

    They could have instanced terrorist lock downs, where you're trying to infiltrate a huge building. You could maybe have large-lobby groups where groups, and have sub-groups in those. I.e. They could have Bravo, Charlie, and Foxtrot, could all secure the top seven floors. Alpha and Delta could secure the entrance, outside, and the first few floors. While "Gila" squad can secure the rooftop.

    Or just you know, whatever. Something cool like that.. :)

    Man, that initial "non-footage" was incredible! I'm sad that there hasn't been any news surrounding this as of late, The Division has picked up some slack, but I've been playing Vegas 2 like a mad man lately and I need my Rainbow Six fix!

    Great news. I guess it just took a back seat to all of UBI's new stuff lately. Far too great of a franchise to leave behind. Both Vegas games were fantastic and gave me so many hrs. of fun.

    The "UK" bit in parenthesis probably. Trailers shown here need to have that disclaimer when they're showing pre-rendered footage, which goes as far back as the PS2 era. Not quite sure what set it off, but here's one of the earlier ones...

    Anyway, hope that hasn't been eating away at you for the last five weeks.
