Rainbow Six: Vegas - Gen. Discussion & Info

[quote name='LinkinPrime']How did Tony Hawk do it on the PS2? Was there approvals or was it just for single player?[/QUOTE]
THUG:
The process to put your face on one of the game's skaters is a simple one. You must take a clean, straight-on, shadowless photo of your face. Then you send that shot in via e-mail or by using a cell phone camera. Shortly after sending in the shot, you'll receive an e-mail reply with an eight-character code. You then take that code to the game and enter it. The game then gets online and downloads the shot. From there, you need to line up the face's points to match those of the polygonal model, and you should ensure that the skin tone of the face texture matches the rest of the body.

THUG2 had EyeToy support:
The PC and PlayStation 2 versions get the additional bonus of online play and a face mapping feature that lets you take a picture of yourself and put it onto your created skater. The face mapping works largely as it did in the previous game, though the PlayStation 2 version now has EyeToy support, making it a bit easier to get your face in the game. The trade-off is that you'll usually get better results with a photo from a digital camera. On the PC, you simply must crop a face image down to 128x128 pixels and import it from the game's front end.

Las Vegas reminds me a lot of Splinter Cell from the video I saw at E3, which doesn't surprise me since Ubisoft Montreal is behind it. It might be the first Rainbow Six game I've ever been interested in.
 
Not a cancellation, just a story about a douche who is overreacting to a game (unusual I know). Hopefully the game holds up, though. It looks very promising, plus I'm dying for a good Rainbow Six game again.
 
What the fucking fuck fuck?


So did this douchebag also oppose Ocean's 11? That promoted potentially harmful illegal activity. And this is hardly the first time they've had killing sprees depected in a Las Vegas setting. Oh, right, THIS time it's a GAME, and GAMES are much worse than MOVIES.

It's not "facing cancellation," by the way.

So just change everything to Nas Negas the mystical gaming paradise in Canada or something. The pics look really good, I always liked these games untill the last one on XBox.
 
I will probably have the full game by the time this comes out.
 
Hopefully I will get my xbox back before I get my copy of the mag in the mail. If not I will have to go to my buddies and play the demo.
 
Face mapping looks alright. The armor selection and weapons looks tight. Want more info on that. (Hopefully no dlc to make it unfair, and no needing to unlock it) Any MP videos or news? I want to see the MP before I buy.
 
The face mapping looks terrific, as does the allusion of character outfitting for multi-player (and a monetary system, please!!!!).

The outfitting was one of the things I enjoyed from the strange, strange world of Rainbow Six: Lockdown.
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Updated OP with face mapping screens found here. I wonder if you could face map an (stuffed) animal or an action figure?[/QUOTE]
That poker game with DigiMask - I forget its name - wouldn't let me face map my cat, a drawing of a face or anything that wasn't actually a face.
 
I've heard rumors that the entire main campaign will support co-op. Is this true, or are the co-op missions going to be single short missions similar to GRAW?
 
[quote name='eatntae']I've heard rumors that the entire main campaign will support co-op. Is this true, or are the co-op missions going to be single short missions similar to GRAW?[/quote]

Yup, thats correct:

As for online co-op, the game will include the always-excellent Terrorist Hunt mode and span 23 maps. You can create a unique character for use here, which brings us to Ubisoft's Persistent Elite Creation 2.0.

In addition to the varied adversarial modes, Vegas will also feature a cooperative element for up to four players. You'll be able to play through the whole single-player campaign with your buddies, as well as some missions that were created specifically for the multiplayer maps. The competitive game, on the other hand, will allow for up to 16 players, and you'll be able to customize the experience in whatever manner you'd like, such as kit restrictions and respawn options. Finally, the game will be playable in just about every configuration supported by the system, including split screen, system link, and via Xbox Live.

[quote name='slickkill77']you can scan an animals face as long as you can get it to pose for the camera[/quote]


I was thinking of doing my stuffed Conker. Or I could use my Neo bust.
 
I played it today for about half an hour.

Dear god, it's so good. So, so, so good. The only thing I never got used to was using B to throw grenades. I loved taking cover and doing the "spray and pray". I threw a grenade and a rope that was hanging up high fell down and started swinging around, it was crazy. When your teammates get shot, you have to heal them or order them to be healed. If they get shot while down and die, the demo ends.

But it's so, so good.

So then its not a GRAW skin? ;)

[quote name='Scorch']That's a pretty cool level and skin add-on for GRAW.

Oh wait, that's a whole other game?[/quote]
 
Some of it feels borrowed, but no. I'll get it.

I love how it controls though. Hold X to equip a silencer, hold Y to change weapons, hold right bumper to toggle between heat vision and night vision.. hold left trigger against objects to lean against them.. it got comfortable real fast.

I want to go buy that OXM now.. I can wait til Nov 1st when it comes on XBLM.. or whenever it wa coming. Haha on that roof part, you can either walk down a ramp or you can rappell (can't spell) down to the first floor.. I chose the latter and got lit up like a christmas tree the second I hit the ground.

Oh and when you get shot, the screen goes really blurry.. if you're near death, it goes black and white on top of the blurriness.
 
I just got the demo and was definitely pleased that it feels like Rainbow Six again after the last few debacles. I like though that in some ways it feels a little like SWAT. I'm not a fan of the Halo style health, but I saw there was an option for realistic difficulty so maybe that'll deal with that.

I need to start looking for more details on the single player length and such a little more now. The demo makes this seem purchase worthy again.
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Demo up on XBLM JPN and EUR

Guess US demo will only be on OXM[/quote]Lame. Looks like I need to make a new account.#-o
 
It doesnt take very long and once you do it once you are good forever since silver accounts can download stuff. OXM will probably keep trying to get these exclusives to sell magazines since the Marketplace is probably killing their subscribers.

EDIT: Demo is great! What a freaking cock tease though just when it gets really good buh bye game hello preorder screen. :D
 
Would anyone let me borrow their Jap/Eu account? I dont want to create a new account, and use a free month trial on it. I promise not to share the sn/pw, just want to dl this, and maybe chromehounds since I never played it or the demo.

Uh. You don't need to use a trial code.
 
fuck..... that rainbow 6 demo was awesome.............

like I need another damn game to buy in november -_-....... my wallet cries

I only played for a bit so my only complaint was the wall hug is a bit finicky, but damn those guns are sweet.
 
Downloading along with Love Football and Chromehounds. I hope this isn't amazing just like FEAR and Tony Hawk. Gears of War is a need, FEAR is a need after the demo, Tony Hawk is a need after the demo, and this is looking awesome. Hopefully your squad is more intelligent then in GRAW, that pissed me off how dumb they are.

Scorch's words don't do this demo any justice. It's that fuckin' good. I just made a Japanese account to try it out, and it's one of the best demos I've ever played. I had a shit-ton of fun playing it for the last half hour. I can't even imagine how good it will be with 3 more people doing the co-op missions. Anyone who thinks it's too of a much hassle to make a EUR/JPN account just to download it is dead wrong. Do it. It'll go way beyond your expectations.
