It seems we're at the part of the generation where a delay in your title means it's probably getting delayed across generations (or at least releasing on both).

Polygon said:
Little has been said about the upcoming Rainbow 6: Patriots anti-terrorism shooter since word came that three of the top developers had left the team in March, but Ubisoft's CEO tells Polygon that the game is still in development and could be headed for a next-gen release.

"The only thing I can say is that we have a good team working on it, and it's really looking good," Ubisoft chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot told Polygon. "So when it will come, it will surprise the industry."

When asked if the game will be a next generation title, Guillemot said he couldn't confirm that but "there's a good chance it can be."

Something tells me they'll go the Ghost Recon route unless it was received poorly.

WiiU version confirmed - Play as your Mii.

"could be headed to next-gen"

It either will, or it won't. Stop with the pseudo-secrecy already videogame industry. Goddamnit.

CrunchinJelly · Nov 12, 2012

Ubisoft are a joke. Constantly delaying games, shifting teams, shifting focus.

Why even announce the games?

BlackGhost · Nov 12, 2012

Yup, can't wait to play this on my Wii U

They are teasing it - maybe for MS or Sony to approach them to get an exclusive on the "next-gen" version. Its all business.

, Guillemot said he couldn't confirm that but "there's a good chance it can be." => cross-generational game, methinks.

Hopefully its next gen. That concept video they put out for R6 Patriots was impressive.

The first one is really good. The sequel felt half assed.

I thought they made it very clear that it was 100% pre-vis/proof-of-concept?

grimshawish · Nov 12, 2012

Vegas is a great game, I devoured the multiplayer too even if it was hardly content heavy.

The game is very hit and miss on the technical side though which is a shame.

Yep. That would explain the whole "Concept Video" thing I typed :lol

Well at this point, they might as well do that.

Black Arrow was rad on Xbox. Didn't like Vegas, online was glitchy.

Yes, they did... I'm just saying. Their proof of concept stuff, to put it politely, is pushing the boundaries of credibility.

Especially after the last RB6 game...

Yeah. Terrorist Hunt was awesome though. At least until the sound glitches started.

Normally this wouldnt even be a joke, but Ubisoft is one of the few big Publishers who even considers it as a legitimate Next-Gen console.

Raide · Nov 12, 2012

At this point making it like Old-School R:6 will be fresh and new to the majority of people that played Rainbow 6 Vegas. Bring back the stealth planning yo!

Well whether you consider it next gen or not, the WiiU isn't that much stronger than the PS3 and 360. So if they would release it for that I don't see why they wouldn't scale it down a little and just release it on the PS3 and 360 where it would get more sales.

HEAVY R6: PATRIOTS SPOILERS (NEW LEAK)

In the end you shoot Osama Bin Laden and fly back to USA with a DC9 shaped like a bald eagle.

The XBOX ports of Tom Clancy games were all awesome.

The Nature Roy · Nov 12, 2012

Wouldn't be a recent-era Ubi/Tom Clancy game without an early showing/retreat/complete overhaul & redesign...

Jay Sosa · Nov 12, 2012

I also hope that there's a good chance it won't suck as much as Vegas 2.

The XBOX ports of Tom Clancy games were all awesome.

absolutely.

The Last Wizard · Nov 12, 2012

I figured it'd be a next gen title when splinter cell got announced and a release date before this, I believe next time we see R6 it'll look much different than that trailer we saw.

I think it'll be out within he first year of next gen.

Raide · Nov 12, 2012

Hell, I would happily play a Kinect version if you could use it to plan your strategies before you jump in, then use Pad + Voice commands to get things done. The Xbox version was great fun.

Ubisoft's main issue is they keep making all their franchises feel like they are the same thing. GR, SC and R6 all felt way too similar, mainly due to them using the same tech over and over.

Pranay · Nov 12, 2012

heard developers were fired and new team is formed

chris121580 · Nov 12, 2012

Black Arrow was so great and both Vegas versions. Does anyone know if Rainbow Six Vegas 2 still has a strong online following? Was thinking of picking it up again

Always-honest · Nov 13, 2012

Yes please.

szaromir · Apr 29, 2013

Tom Clancy's franchise has become so homogenized... Back in 2002 all Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon had very distinct feeling to them while obviously all where political/military fiction. Nowadays they all have cover system, mark & execute and are very action-oriented.

Dead Man · Apr 29, 2013

How many backup pistols does one wanker need?

Enough to draw them both towards the end, shoot his teammates in some sweet dual wield action while the music goes BZZZZZBUMBUMBUM and cuts to Edith Piaf, explosions going off and there's lots of slowmotion, one guy yelling "NOOOOO JIM, HOW COULD YOU MAAAAN!" then you discover the big story twist was YOU ARE THE TRAITOR! Bshhhhhh cut to black screen.

IGN gives it 9/10.

Gemüsepizza · Apr 29, 2013

Red glowing lights on the back and arms? Ughh. Why? Stuff like this wasn't "cool" in Splinter Cell, and it certainly isn't in a Rainbow Six game, it's just cringeworthy.

Next gen allows for more guns.
