My God...
My God...
Well, you get back to me when the game releases and has that same mission that plays exactly the same as the 'prerendered video'.Uh, no, the devs themselves have stated not only in the video, but on their website, that it isn't gameplay footage "The movie does not feature actual ingame footage, it's pre-rendered." from their mouths.
http://gamingeverything.com/11635/rainbow-6-tons-of-details/- Marketing team changed the name to Rainbox 6 instead of Rainbox six after the new logo was made
- Story is important to the team
- People couldn’t remember characters, why they were there, etc. in Rainbox Six Vegas 2
- Wanted a story that was plausible, relevant, touches on current fears of U.S. citizens
- Settings won’t be boring/conventional just because it’s set in the U.S.
- 80% of the game set in iconic areas such as Pebble Beach, California, NYC
- 20% takes place beyond national borders (Bering Strait and Poti, Georgia, coastal city on the Black Sea)
- Enemies inspired by para-military groups, politcal radicals, former military men/women who have returned home and feel forgotten/disenfranchised
- New collective of militias: True Patriots
- Led by figurehead named Tredway
- Tredway wants to overthrow the govenment
- He understands that a movement begun today won’t necessarily result in a conclusive/lasting change tomorrow
- Tredway willing to martyr himself for the cause
- Main targets are the government/financial institutions
- He believes they are colluding at the detriment of the common man
- Aspires to behead corporate America
- Tredway has a standing army of trained insurgents who look/act/talk like everyone else in America
- Patriots are involved in strategic strikes when an opportunity arises, then disappear back into everyday society
- You won’t just play from the perspective of the elite Team Rainbow outfit; also take on the role of a True Patriot
- Team wants combat to feel more visceral
- Staff taking measures to ensure that different animations play when you shoot an enemy in the shoulder, leg, back, or front
- Strength of the weapon impact on enemies will be considered
- Team wants to create context around the True Patriots and give you insight into what led them to join this group, rather than simply create shock value
- Team Rainbow has undergone a radical transformation
- New operational guideliens have been put in place because old-school counter-terrorism isn’t an effective detterant anymore
- Zulu squad leader James Wolfe is the driving force of this new direction
- Wolfe is a former Navy SEAL who fervently believes in doing whatever it takes to thwart the True Patiots
- Wolfe willing to take ethical shortcuts to take out the True Patriots’ leader swiftly
- Rainbow is going to appear at the site of a terrorist event before the police show up and cordon off the hotel with yellow tape
- Place as Echo squad’s leader
- He is a new member of Team Rainbow, looks up to Wolfe like a father figure
- Choose whether to adopt Wolfe’s harsh tactics or go with another approach
- Not exempt from tought situational decisions
- For the demo, the player has to hold down the detonation button for the remainder of the sequence (shown in the video)
- Ground level with Echo team shows off the new Rappel 2.5 tech powering Patriots
- New Rainbow teams move with energy and excitement down the faces of buildings/bridges instead of a slow/methodical rappel
- Run down the side of the building at full speed while firing your gun on unsuspecting targets below if you want
- More fast-paced transitions on/off the rope
- Evolved control scheme
- Can use legacy controls from Rainbow Six Vegas
- New control scheme: feels more in line with modern shooters, transitions players in and out of cover more intuitively
- New animations for the cover system (vaulting, blind fire, moving from cover to cover seamlessly)
- Tactical controls streamlined
- New one-button tactics: smart interface that contextually determines what your team should be doing based on the location of enemies/what they’re doing
- Place the reticle over an environmental object such as a door; AI squad will then choose a smart breach and call out their intentions so you are aware of their plans
- Still has extended team command menu
- Control your team actions right down to the type of grenade you want them to use in a certain breaching scenario
- Therien issues contextual commands as Echo team moves forward down the bridge
- Squads react in a smart manner, take cover, select targets automatically
- AI enhancements for enemy soldiers
- Scan mode: informational HUD inspired by the TSA airport scanners
- Use scan mode to more easily spot threats including firearms (highlighted in yellow)
- Situation using scan mode: 6 terrorists holed up in a garage with three points of entry; hostage on his knees with a shotgun-wielding enemy behind him; spook him and the VIP will die
- AI enhancements for enemy soldiers
- Several AI arche-types
- Some even allow them to make mistakes
- Enemy may trip and fall as he goes for a new cover position
- Best enemies you take on have the full AI capabilities of your squad mates
- Shootouts won’t devolve into whack-a-mole
- Enemies won’t stand around mindlessly like AI robots

- Carefully select targets during urban sequences
- Team plans to track your performance and upload your results for everyone to see
- May take aggregate data based on the way people are playing and unlock or award different regions with bonuses
It's just like...what if WoW suddenly became a hardcore MMORPG. Everyone would quit; they love it because a 8 year old can max out and get Legendary gear. But what if you suddenly had to try?
