    Rainbow Six Sets Its Sights on New York City

    According to sources close to Kotaku, a new Rainbow Six title is currently in development from Ubisoft. Gone are the bright lights and glitz of Vegas and in are the sky scrapers and a new terrorist threat in the city that never sleeps. Also allegedly making a return to the series is the tactical planning before each mission that was featured prominently in the early games in the series.

    The game, while returning to its more tactical roots, will retain a few Vegas additions including the third person cover system.
    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 cover system that takes you out of the first-person perspective and into the third.


    There will also be a tactical display that highlights members of your own teammates and other important mission information. Again, this is merely a rumor and may not happen at all.

    Hope it's good. I really like Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2.

      while I did like R6V, I still do think Clancy is a bit of a sellout...

          I think the important thing to take from this, isn't NYC, but the fact that they're going a bit back to their roots and are going to make the games more tactical again.

          The original R6 games are still my favorites. Games like Vegas have their place but the oldies are still the best for how brutal they could be on the player.

              I played it at an internet cafe with a few friends. We didn't know what we were doing half the time and when we sometimes got bored but patient ol' me enjoyed it.

              Also, I haven't played any of the orginal R6 games... Can never find them
