FiringSquad chats with UbiSoft' Maxime Beland about their upcoming tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Vegas. You can check out the interview right here (http://www.firingsquad.com/games/rainbow_six_vegas_interview/). Here is a snip
FiringSquad: Most Rainbow Six games are very serious in nature but setting this new game in Vegas seems like it will allow for more humor. Do you think that will be the case?

Maxime Beland: In Rainbow Six Vegas, we are really pushing on the stress, tension and urgency elements. Las Vegas is under terrorists’ siege and players will truly live the escalation of chaos. So will the game be more on the humor side? I would say no :)

Are these guys for real?
The better question would be: "All your recent "lockdown" series games are ruining the r6 franchise, what are the chances that this game is NOT going to follow in the same footsteps?"

Considering that the game uses a regenerating health feature (ie, like Halo and Call of Duty 2), I'd say the chances of this being a "true" Rainbow Six game are slim-to-none.

They also removed the pre-mission planning stage in an effort to make the game more "cinematic" (whatever the hell that means).

Whatever - I'll just keep playing Rogue Spear and pretend that the R6 series ended with that game and its expansions.

This is an odd question. Why does this interviewer think games set in Las Vegas will be inherently humorous? I don't get it.
The interviewee shuts him down pretty quick.

The quality of Ghost Recon:AW has convinced me that this game will be great. I always liked the feel of the Rainbow Six games better so I'm expecting greatness here.

I agree. I'm a little concerned about the "shield" as others are, but my gut is that there will be a Realism setting.

That's why you don't get paid to think. :p I'm sure if it was sarcasm, the interviewer would've made it known, cause I'm sure everyone who has read this interview thinks the interviewer is a goddamn idiot for asking that question.

That said, the gameplay videos I've seen for R6V are boss hog.
