Unfinished: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege 04/08/2015

Jeff and Drew are possibly my favorite QL combo(although nothing beats Jeff and Vinny ;___;).

I will probably get this because I'm in need of a new shooter that isn't CS:GO and I really enjoyed the Vegas series, but that being said, graphically this doesn't look much better than Vegas did. Unless the Alpha is really just that unpolished?

@creepingdeath0: They have confirmed there will be a single player campaign and coop mode which will probably be terrorist hunt because it's a pretty easy thing to implement

Looks cool but I'm hoping this isn't the only thing to this game

I was hoping graphically it would look closer to the E3 trailer, but that is always a pipe dream, especially with ubisofts recent track record. The gameplay though looks dope.

Came away from this QL feeling oddly intrigued about the game. If they vary up the maps a little in the full game (imagine a few rounds taking place in a castle! Imagine it!), then I'm down for all of this.

Also, people who miss PC Rainbow Six: Just go reinstall that instead of complaining here. You're almost as bad as the "Oh great, another CoD game" people.

@pause422: I'm interested in checking out Rainbow 6, what's the best title that was released on PC?

this game looks real silly in a beautiful type of way, unfortunate i don't think that's what they're going for..

In all seriousness, I know this is a closed Alpha, but this game looks super broken per se Ubisoft fashion these days. I really really want to believe this game will deliver on everything it promises, but i don't trust Ubisoft's development/cooperate structure. Having TEN different studios work on different parts of ONE game seems like an incoherent nightmare, even if it's a beautiful nightmare, it's still a fucking nightmare.

I like how that P90 doesn't have a magazine until you reload it.

I'd rather play counter-strike.

i would watch a giantbomb video of them just making fun of the dumb shit kids say on game chat

Yawn. Looking forward to the SP campaign more.

"This unfinished game is so not done! What the fuck?!" - Jeff's the MAN

weird to see the lukewarm impressions. Maybe I'm the only one who really likes the concept of this game or something...

HELL YES I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!! there has been like no fuckin footage ho man oh man oh maaaan

@kanerobot: What?

I find those outlines of your allies pretty distracting. I didn't like it in Left 4 Dead either.

I hope there's enough in this game to make it have any lasting power, but I really like what I see here.

I think this looks absolutely awesome, what Takedown Red Sabre should've been.

For some reason I really like how the vision you get after you die is through the shitty black and white home cameras in the house.

I'm in the alpha and I absolutely do not like it. The shooting and movement just feel terrible to me (and it doesn't seem like those are the things they will actually change based on alpha feedback). Rainbow Six 1-3 and Rainbow Six Vegas 1-2 are two of my favourite series (despite them being quite different from each other), but this doesn't feel like either of them.

Looks like a cool idea. Hopefully they expand on it in some smart ways.

Please don't suck....please don't suck.....

Maybe? There are some good ideas here, but getting the balance right is going to be tough. It seems like the terrorist team will always have a big advantage simply because they can just camp by the hostage. The destructible environments could be the equalizer. They need to give the CT team basically unlimited wall charges. I'm still cautiously optimistic, but fear that the reality of playing this game will fail to match its potential. That said, give me more terrorist hunts in the single player and take my money.

Hmmm give me raven shield terrorist hunt best mode in any game period

sad that in 2015 the best "gun" game is still raven shield

Please have good AI please have good AI please have good AI...

Ooooooo jeez. I don't know about this one guys. Maybe they'll put it together here as it gets closer.

@lik: just turn it into the new SWAT game

This is something I'm going to like a lot. Some nice plays by Jeff in this video too.

I find it weird too. I haven't been big into FPS for a while now and this game actually looks pretty damned good for an alpha. And a surprisingly refreshing concept, to boot.

All this time people have been begging for a more advanced tactical close quarters FPS and this is met with a general response of "Meh." not even giving it a chance to show more. I guess that attitude towards shooters is in right now.

The tight numbers on players per team and the strategy required makes this sound like it'll be fantastic to play if you get some real life friends to play it with you. Payday 2 delivers on that so well.

Humans have unpredictable AI tho

I liked the part where the P90 started without a magazine but still fired as if it had one.

It looks OK, but not worth sixty bucks... I'm curious about how the campaign will work. I really enjoyed playing SWAT 3 back in the day, I haven't seen anything to scratch that particular itch in a long time.

I want to give this a try. Rather than Rouge Spear having that sledgehammer they should really have the battering ram.

Looks pretty rad!

Yeah, watching this just made me want to play SWAT 4 again.

People should be comparing this to counter strike not Evolve. Depending on how the maps are I see endless ways of setting up and breaching just like in CS.

Home Alone as a verb

I fear this will turn into 'This is the map we do it this way and only this way. The end'.

Because if every game is different it could be amazing.

Or it could be Evolve.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like everyone has that concern.

They should probably take the Rainbow Six name off of this one.

Are there really endless ways in CS? Whenever I've seen it played on esports events it's all "hey everyone go hang out on top of those train cars!" and then they shoot each other until everybody on one of the teams are dead.

@fisk0: CS is much more than that. There are plenty of avenues to take/camp. Teams have to be very careful when they move through a map because the other team could be literally anywhere. I don't play evolve, so I don't know the comparison.

So how long till they announce a zombie mode?

One-word Matrix reference by Drew about halfway in.

This seems a lot more interesting than I expected. I think I can see how the will make the gameplay fast with only a single spawn per-player, yet keep it moving. Typically the worst guy on your team (the Lenny) get nailed quick...because he sucks/dumb...and then complains they are bored being dead. This seems like you have only a few minutes to resolve the situation which keep everything moving...hopefully.

Seriously, cannot wait for this game!

Unfortunately they have bad voice acting as well

I didn't know this was this far along! I can't wait, I loved RSV 1 and 2.

This looks a lot better than I thought it would. Will have to keep an eye on this after all.

@7x_ said:

Yeah, hearing that made me come around to the "marketing alpha" Drew was lamenting at the top of the video. I assumed people would understand that an unfinished game is unfinished but they don't.

Randoms playing with randoms, therefore lack of team work and more running around aimlessly, be better played with friends.
