Rainbow Six Vegas 2 trailer explains Fan Pack contents
Ubisoft recently released a video explaining some of the major changes included in their upcoming free expansion to Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and we think it's a fairly safe bet that fans will be pleased. Included in said trailer is a look at the much-requested additions that should make Call of Duty 4 feel sincerely flattered, such as the new grenade indicator and post-elite ranks, as well as the three "new" (see: re-lit and re-textured) maps which will also be made available. Also included are details concerning the new "High Stakes" mode, where health regeneration will be disabled, and where players will amass extra experience points by verbally disparaging the skills of their Low Stakes brethren. We can't wait!
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 to feature 'more Vegas'
"Talk to the hand!" has been the sentiment of the two Rainbow Six Vegas 2 teaser trailers released thus far, and while Ubisoft still isn't ready to show us the game, the publisher is ready to talk. A smattering of gameplay details was disclosed today, confirming what the game title already reveals: we're in for more Rainbow Six Vegas. More weapons, more armor, mo' better AI, more multiplayer and, of course, "more Vegas."As the Tom Clancy franchises continue along the 'EA Sports trajectory,' Vegas 2 will see its most ambitious seasonal tweaks in the form of improved "vastly improved" co-op play (a jump-in/jump-out campaign) and single-player expansion of the first game's multiplayer progression system (offline experience points). Anyone else convinced that the Ubisoft Montreal devs could code this game in their sleep?Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is being developed for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Games for Windows, and is currently scheduled for a March 2008 release.
New Rainbow Six Vegas 2 teaser now glam-free, time paradoxical
Perhaps to replace its last embarrassing trailer, Ubisoft has unveiled a new teaser for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2. This teaser offers even less of the game than Duke Nukem Forever's recent sighting, opting instead to show a few seconds of operatives hopping out of a helicopter.There is one pesky problem, and that is with time itself: if you notice the first shot of the helicopter it displays 6:52:12 and the chopper isn't close to the building. When the camera cuts back to the helicopter next to the building, time is again 6:52:12. There are two (and only two) logical conclusions: either we are to assume two helicopters, with shots from two separate buildings, or Vegas 2 has a time travel component. Hopefully Ubisoft will come clean on its temporal experiments sometime in the near-distant past-future.[Via Megatonik]
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 trailer is ... Vegasy?
During last night's airing of Spike TV's VGAs, Ubisoft world premiered the brand new Rainbow Six Vegas 2 trailer. Though, before you get too excited and call up all three of your friends, you should give it a watch first and know that it's not all that entertaining. Well, we shouldn't say that. If you like Vegas, poker chips or green felt then the trailer would be very good. But if you're like us and you enjoy seeing gameplay or anything related to the game in your game trailers then it'll be a bit of a disappointment. We'll wait until we get another, more informative R6V2 trailer before we sound the "excitement alarm". Until then ... next.
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 announced, first screen
Clancy fans rejoice! Ubisoft has announced that a sequel to Rainbow Six Vegas, cleverly titled Rainbow Six Vegas 2, is headed for the Xbox 360. Along with the news comes the first screenshot, which you can see above. As you may have guessed, the game will again take place in Las Vegas. That town just can't get a break, can it? According to the press release, the sequel will "break new ground in both co-op and adversarial modes, while providing unprecedented interaction between the solo and multiplayer modes." What exactly this "interaction" is, we don't know. Maybe you can take your online avatar into campaign missions. Perhaps the leveling system works both in campaign and in adversarial multiplayer. Whatever Ubisoft does, we're just hoping they don't try to fix what ain't broken. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is scheduled to arrive in March of 2008.[Thanks, DjDATZ]
