Rainbow Six gambles forth News

PC Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

6 March, 2006

Those of you wondering what's happening to the Rainbow Six boys after their widely queried outing in last year's Lockdown have your answer: they're going to Vegas.

No, they really are. Ignoring the lessons of Ocean's Eleven (you can only rob casinos successfully if nobody on either side has any frickin' idea what is going on at any stage ever), presumably some nasty Ts have done something nasty in that fairest of desert-splitting neon money-roads, and the Rainbow Six are heading along to contribute their own kaleidoscopic mettle to the situation.

Not that anybody actually knows anything about the game though - right now all we have is a single Xbox 360 screenshot (of a man shooting another man next to a chandelier, future-of-gaming-ly) and the news that Vegas will be outed properly in the April issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly in the US as the first next-generation Rainbow Six game.

UPDATE-OH-CLOCKING-OFF: Despite it being five minutes to pub-time, Ubisoft's sent over a release confirming what we told you earlier about Rainbow Six: Vegas - and introducing us to actual details.

Due out on PC, next-gen and current-gen consoles this autumn, Vegas takes place on the strip/etc. and involves a nefarious plot by naughty terrorists (got that right then!). Ubi claims it'll "push technology through graphics, artificial intelligence, physics and animations"... but not a lot else.

Still, now we have a release date and confirmed formats. So there.

Trouble is, thanks to dreaded StarForce, Ubi PC games are out of contention with me!!!

No wait, don't get me wrong - I am not a pirate!!! ;-). It is just that I am sick of paying to ruin my computer and positively annihilate my optical drives, only to find the damned game not running after a few boots. YEah I know this rant is NOT that relevant but I aim to spread the venom as much as possible: Dont buy any PC game with StarForce protection - only that will stop them!!

Hey, new StarForce sympton.

Yesterday installed TM: Nations in a just installed & clean WinXP, and since then, I can't Safely Remove my USB HD, since it always says it's in use (with no programs or services running). It's either rebooting or removing it the hard way (something I've never particularly liked).

Thanks for yet another nuisance to the russian ex-hackers and the distributors that pay them. Thanks for making me want to abandon my PC as a gaming platform and buy a console. And f*** you all.

Edit: no *non-OS* services running, obviously

Oooh, great, the first next-gen incarnation of a thoroughly average series.

Please wait while I dig Ł300 out of my pocket to buy a new console to run it...

@paketep : While I cannot appreciate why you want to fuck US all, but yes I have also experienced it. And to think that TM Nations is FREE - just makes you want to pull your hair out.
