I love how the developer who basically birthed the Rainbow Six franchise gets absolutely zero attention on here. Either this site is gearing towards younger gamers or I just became acutely aware of how ancient I am.

InUrFoxHole63d ago

Both my guy. When was the last good rainbow six game though?

calactyte62d ago

Serious answer, Rainbow Six: Siege is really good. Lastest update came on March 3rd.

0hMyGandhi62d ago

I suppose that as I got older, I stopped playing them, but Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 was probably the last title I played. That there was 7 years between Vegas 2 and Siege, and then another 7 years between Siege and Extraction is rough. Ugh.

PapaBop62d ago

They haven't been relevant though for years, I doubt many people under 35 will even recognise their name. Some amazing memories though, they basically gave birth to tactical FPS games which were actually tactical.

R6 Vegas. The last great R6 games were on the X360 PS3 era and original Xbox R6 games. Pretty much every one before Siege that had an awesome single player and coop campaign.

Sheppard262d ago

Completely agree, but don't forget the GR games too. They also had great single player and co-op/multiplayer. Red Storm was my favorite dev back then.

hiawa2359d ago

Oh, I agree. I have all of the UbiSoft great games of the past. GR is one of my favs.

Deeeeznuuuts62d ago

Such a shame! Still have my original copy of Rainbow Six for the original Playstation
Remember one of the last games I got for PS2, ghost recon advanced warfighter and being amazed by how good it looked and played, sucks to see them get relegated to working on Siege

0hMyGandhi62d ago

My introduction to them I believe was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow on xbox, though I played a bunch of the games on PS1/PS2. I remember the original for PS1 and just having a blast.
I was just going to say the same thing about Advanced Warfighter. The hype for that game was REAL, and I remember the early screens in EGM/Gamepro and just being floored by the texture work and lighting. God, I miss those days.

Now if only we could get a new SOCOM game before THAT studio closes (if it hasn't already) because SOCOM 2 helped to scratch the itch between GR/RS games.

Sheppard262d ago

I'll never understand why Sony just let the Socom IP die.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio26d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing26d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit26d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing26d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
