Rainbow Six 4 Announced
by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 30, 2004 10:10am PSTGuess we don't have to wait for GameSpy (story), as Ubisoft today announced development of Rainbow Six 4. The game, in development at Red Storm Entertainment and Ubisoft's Montreal Studios, is scheduled for a spring 2005 release on PC, Xbox and PS2.
Like Ghost Recon 2, the PS2 version of Rainbow Six 4 will have its own graphics engine, with Xbox and PS2 also receiving exclusive multiplayer modes. Additionally Ubisoft promises 'Stunning graphics and ultra-realistic "ragdoll" physics', increasingly intelligent AI and new weapons and items. We have some console version screenshots here, and on FileShack we have a teaser trailer. Update: GameSpot has a preview with impressions.The next Rainbow Six installment will build on the ingredients that have made the Rainbow Six franchise a runaway success, and will introduce new single player experience with a personal darker storyline, state-of-the-art equipment, and offer gamers the chance to play as two members of Team Rainbow: Ding Chavez, the fearless leader of Team Rainbow, and a new sniper role portrayed by Dieter Weber, who must cover his team's movement with deadly accuracy.

Your games were much more enticing to me when they were primarily for the PC. Ghost Recon was fantastic, but GR2 just looks like a quick, arcadey FPS built for consoles.
I'm laying down $5 this will be exactly the same.

time to get a group of people together and make a source powered r6-css-gops-killer.
Why not make a revolutionary game for the PC?...I mean.
Why not use one of the many great engines like the Source, The far Cry and even the DOOM 3 engine...
Why not use one of the many physics engines like Havock....
Why not improve the planning stage with special tools like Satellite Photos, Flying cameras (robots)?
Why not implement better enemy and teammates AI?
Why not improve the weapon ballistics, weapon selection, kits, material penetration?
Why not improve the Net Code and other online services (voice in game like in Counterstrike)?

Console gaming and PC gaming should not even be uttered in the same sentence. EVER. It's like comparing tobogganing to snowboarding. One is plain and simple fun, you just point the sled down the hill and have a good time, while the other is still fun but generally has more depth and is more complex.
It is not only stupid but impossible to fulfill both of these aspects in one game. In math they would be called disjoint...no matter what you try to do, you ain't joining them!

So, what, are they giving it a crap metal theme song, some swearing and more stubble? Not that I'm bitter that they've seemingly fucked up the perfect aesthetic of Prince of Persia in the new one, no :(

Which means: We're dumbing the game down a la Ghost Recon 2. In everyother Rainbow Six game you got to play as whoever the fuck you wanted or rather was alive. God, I hope this is wrong. Fucking Ubisoft. I like my Rainbow Six the way it is. Improve on it, don't start over with a different game formula. :(
I'm scared :(

I also hope it doesn’t differ from Raven Shield as much as Ghost Recon 2 did from Ghost Recon. As much as I like innovative games, I'd rather some stuff was left alone.
Definitly looking forward to this one either way. Should be plenty of fun.
