Ubisoft confirms that Rainbow Six: Siege will NOT feature a single-player campaign
- Thread starter sflufan
- Start date
Nothing surprising here, the Angela Basset cinematic notwithstanding I didn't get any sort of vibe that it would get a campaign.
If we're getting the lay of the land for the next couple of months, there are only so many multiplayer shooters a gamer can invest their time into so I'd be surprised if this did well at all considering all the competition.
Halo and CoD at least have both campaign and Multiplayer so I see those being the bigger shooter winners with Battlefront right next to them.

I have played the Test & also the BETA (when i can actually get a game) & the game is ok, but i want Rainbow Six: Patriots not Rainbow Six: Siege.
I have played & loved all the Rainbow Six games but this isn't a Rainbow Six game to me.
I never intended to buy Rainbow Six: Siege & after playing the BETA there is nothing at all to make me change my mind, even if there were a single player campaign in Siege i think it would be pretty short anyway as the focus has always been multi-player.

Nope nope and nope.
Well they did talk about it, that's the thing.
How can you possibly be entertained by something that doesn't have cutscenes and extensive voice acting?

Agreed.
To me MP is really just a bonus in games. Splatoon is the first MP-focused game I played in a long time, and it even has SP.
The reason is mostly because people like me don't have the time to put in and "get good" because of life.

Stereogatari confirms that Ubisoft won't have my money.
people on GAF don't get this. I'm positive that 90% of this forum thinks games are made by typing shit in notepad.
Either that or devs should work for free while also working 90 hours a week because stop being lazy and make sure we have the best SP and MP experience possible (just so that we can buy the hot new title next month and forget about your game)

I don't mind a lack of single-player in Multiplayer focused titles if they truly put 110% into the Multiplayer, hell, Battlefront is an excellent example since from everything I've played so far (and from being one of the biggest Star Wars fans around), it's my most anticipated game this year.
This, however, has poor visuals, clunky, uneven, unpolished gameplay, a small amount of content, awful matchmaking, no dedicated servers, no server browser on PC, different framerate targets based on modes on console, poor AI, and only 11 tiny maps on launch.
It's fun with friends, sure, but so was Aliens: Colonial Marines.
I'll wait for a $25 price drop. Besides, with Battlefront, Halo 5, and CoD, I'll have thousands of hours of multiplayer fun at my disposal.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
See this is the problem, people think its notepad, but we have already upgraded to wordpad. Shows how much the internet knows. GET WITH THE TIMES PEOPLE.
Just shows you how ridiculous the price tag of 60$ is for games like this, titanfall and evolve.
It's not 60fps. Wow, not really going for it Ubisoft.

I can't believe the new Tomb Raider doesn't have a MP mode. It better be $30.
If you would like to know what the single player is read this: http://blog.ubi.com/rainbow-six-siege-single-player-terrohunt-modes/
You decide if that's what you want.

Its a Ubi game it will be 50% off in a month or so.
Not on PS4, no. Which is shitty.
Like I don't know how game development works, but it'd be nice if they really bumped TH up to 60 fps, when they're excluding a campaign.

So that's the only two things a MP only game can be priced at?

Because it doesn't have a mode that was never announced, nor was led to believe was in?

Have any PC shooters survived outside of Steam? edit. Never mind this will be sold on Steam, but who knows if the community will stick to it.
Well does it have so much more content than these games or why is it worth 60$ to you?

Yes, imo.

I thought it was a normal rs game that they were just showing the multi for. 60 bucks for multi only can go die in a fire.

I don't think I've ever gone from being so excited to so uninterested in a game.
Ubisoft had the chance to release a big-budget, multi-platform Tactical Shooter, a genre which is criminally underrepresented, and would be non-existent if it weren't for PC gaming.
Having looked at all the recent footage and impressions, I'm not even sure Ubisoft knows who they want to cater this towards. This news is just icing on the cake.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
No campaign I'd play once for 5 hours and forget about?
That's fine with me. Focus on creating more content elsewhere.

I have no interest in this game but find the discussion interesting. If I found this very enjoyable to play then yes I would pay $60 for it.
Seems like a very narrow view of games and hypocritical.
Are they not referring to Terrohunt in this? Having scenarios designed for single and multiplayer = / = a single player campaign.

I will defend a MP only game could be $60 if done really well.
The main issue I have is I have not seen a $60 MP-only game worth it. Evolve/Titanfall failed hard.

I can't believe they have this up for pre-order for £50 on Steam and it doesn't even have any SP component at all? That's freaking ridiculous. The MP definitely doesn't seem varied enough to warrant the lack of any SP.
And they just lost me as a customer. This game is way too complex and challenging for the average Walmart shopper that needs something in place to teach the player. The story mode allows the player time to familiarize themselves with the mechanics and tactics needed for the advanced modes played at a later date. Just from the Beta alone I can tell this game needs a story if I'm going to come back.

But why did they hire that actress?

Angela Bassett
Yep.
How many maps does this game have?
Probably not even 16, smh.
It seems like it might be a decent $15 from what I played of the Beta, but I'm sure Ubisoft will send it to die anyway.
The second half of the article is about Terrorhunt, the first half is about single player.
That single player portion is now gone, replaced with tutorials.Apparently.

I knew this was going to happen, then people argued me otherwise when Ubi showed their E3 trailer with the actress, but deep down I always knew there wasn't going to be any SP, guess I'll be saving money then.
Ubisoft really fell from grace, Syndicate is a miss, Siege is a miss, and I am still not sold on The Division, I'm a single player guy, and The Division looks like another Destiny game, an MMO with little to no story, so probably another miss for me.
