Rainbow Six Set to Invade New York With Home-Grown Terrorism

A new interpretation of the classic Rainbow Six, the tough-as-nails tactical shooter that asked gamers to carefully plan out the nuance of a breach like a choreographed dance, is in the works, a source familiar with the unannounced Ubisoft shooter tell Kotaku.

We’ve also heard that the game will in many ways be a departure from the sameness found in Rainbow Six: Vegas and its sequel, and a return to what helped separate the shooter from others of its ilk.

It’s unclear if the in-development game will be shown at E3.

The original Rainbow Six is more tactical and focused on stealth than on weapons. Before each mission, in those early games, players were asked to view a briefing and then build a team, pick their weapons and equipment and finally create waypoints that the secondary members of the team would follow. Once the mission started, players had only control of one team member at a time.

Rainbow Six will be a far more story-driven game than previous iterations of the Tom Clancy branded title. The game is meant to take a step in a different direction, telling a bigger, much more gritty cinematic story than previous versions of the game.

In this still-to-be-titled Rainbow Six, players will be tasked with stopping a homegrown terrorist group operating in America. The group, fed up with the greed of Wall Street and the government that acts to protect them, decides to target New York City.

While the gameplay is based on some classic Rainbow Six mechanics, there is a brand new cover system that takes you out of the first-person perspective and into the third.

A new icon-rich graphics style helps to highlight members of your team during a mission and other pertinent information.

Contacted Thursday, Ubisoft declined to comment.

I'm so very used to (and very comfortable with) the control layout of the Vegas games. So long as Terrorist Hunt is included in some form, I will be happy for a long time. Rainbow Six games usually keep me occupied for at least a year. Except those shitty excuses they released on the original Xbox.

I never asked for this... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,337 Member No.: 15,854 Joined: Feb 11th 2006 Location: Redondo Beach, CA	Sounds like they're going to go back to the original Rainbow Six formula. Me likey! I loved the original Rainbow Six as well as Rogue Spear and Raven Shield. While I did like Rainbow Six: Vegas and its sequel, I do have to admit I missed the planning, stealth, and tactical aspects of the first three games. I just hope Ubisoft won't abandon us PC Gamers and make this a console only shooter.

That was the one thing that frustrated me to no end in the older RS games, where you pretty much had to make yourself vulnerable in order to get a good shot on the enemy. With the cover system Vegas introduced, you were no longer completely screwed if the enemy discovered your presence.

I'm a month late in discovering this for myself, but whatever...I'm stoked anyway...

Ubisoft's officially announced the much leaked Rainbow 6 Patriots for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in 2013.

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal with "support" from Ubisoft Toronto and Ubisoft Red Storm, Patriots revolves around "a dynamic single-player storyline that captures the reality of modern-day terrorism and allows players to experience it from multiple characters' perspectives," says Ubi.

As rumoured, the new game sees Team Rainbow take on a new terrorist 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.

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, says Ubisoft.

According to earlier leaks the Patriots campaign will see payers encounter multiple "drastically" different mission endings based on their decisions in the story.

One supposed example includes terrorists breaking into a home and kidnapping a stranger. Players then take on the role of that stranger and are forced to hold a trigger button to prevent a vest loaded with explosives from blowing up.

Later, on a heavily-populated bridge in New York City, the perspective shifts, having you control the Rainbow 6 team to take down the terrorists and take out the hapless, walking bomb.

"Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6. In Tom Clancy's 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," explained David Sears, creative director at Ubisoft.

"This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience."

In addition to single-player Rainbow 6 Patriots will introduce a "huge variety" of new co-op and multi-player experiences, says Ubisoft.

"Players will be rewarded for working as a team and mastering the game's new features that enhance communication and tactical execution between teammates. Success will come from a mix of split-second decision making and working to coordinate attacks against the enemy."

Additional details on Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots can be found in an exclusive cover story in the Christmas issue of Official Xbox Magazine, available November 30.

Looks like it's going to be Heavy Rain-influence cinematic gameplay and storytelling meets Rainbow Six tactical shooter, which isn't a bad thing at all...From the storyline perspective, it'd be nice to do something else besides "follow them" in an FPS, and besides, there was just something lacking in Vegas anyway...And it definitely looks to be a gritty example of black and grey morality...I really hope the game ends up looking close to that in the final product, because if it does, it'll be so fucking cool!

And I hope they bring back "Terrorist Hunt", though I'm really intrigued on what they could do with co-op and multiplayer too...

The devs talked about it in the latest Game Informer. I'm totally stoked for this. If they can keep the multiplayer as awesome as in the Vegas series, I'll be quite satisfied.

I'm happy its again being made over here in Montreal . Agreed with terrorist hunt, that thing was fun as hell. I wonder if they are keeping the customization like the Vegas series.

This. Vegas 2 had a lot of flaws and a terrible story (attack heli out of nowhere?!), but it improved the one big glaring problem from Vegas 1: the XP system. In Vegas 1 you only gained XP if you won a match online. In Vegas 2 you accumulated XP simply by playing the game, which meant players across the board could experience the joy of promotions instead of just the online crowd. To be fair, Vegas 1 was released back when a Live membership wasn't very popular outside of the Halo/Gears crowd.

I hope they implement the unlock system from 2, with the less insane spawning system used in 1. That is, if Terrorist Hunt mode (or something to that degree) is implemented.
