New Rainbow Six: Vegas Screens

Along with these delectable screenshots, Ubisoft let loose some new 'Vegas story details this morning. Apparently, international terrorist Irena Morales has amassed an army of up-to-no-good terrorists, and as Rainbow Six leader Logan Keller you and your team have a real-time-ish limit - like Advanced Warfighter - of one night to stop their dirty Las Vegas business.

This game still looks unbelievable

mike_mgoblue6587d ago

I am SOOO HAPPY that I have an Xbox 360; it is SOOO FUN to play!!! With games like this coming out for it, a lot of people will be having a LOT of fun in the future on their Xbox 360!!!

Smellslikepie6587d ago

I have a 360 too, and it is good. But this is coming out for PS3 as well, you know? You've made it seem like this is a selling point for the Xbox 360. Don't reply with the standard "Yeah, but the PS3 costs $600" because I can't be bothered with fanboys. Posting something like that will only start an argument then flaming.

Marriot VP6587d ago

smells, do you really have to pounce on somebody happy about their 360. You think he's starting a flame argument. You simply just don't have to say anything like that cause it only puts him down and eggs him on to reply negatively.

Smellslikepie6586d ago

He's already tried to provoke people on a different topic. For some reason he said that Call of Duty 3 will look MUCH better on the Xbox 360 than on the PS3, when in reality they will look identical. There has been official confirmation of this. His subject heading was "Xbox 360 version is superior" When he has nothing to base this on. Then he goes on to say that the PS3 version WILL be more expensive, again he has no evidence to base this upon other than the interview with Kaz Hirai and if he'd read that properly he'd see that this isn't necessarily the case.

I'm just a little fed up of coming onto this site and seeing fanboys argue. It's really annoying, after about the third topic they tend to recycle their arguments, change their wording a bit. The two worst people for this is The MART (who's always arguing for the Xbox 360) and Jin Kazama (who's arguing for PS3). It's just so frustrating. The majority of the time they're arguing about rumours!

The truth is is that this game will make both PS3 and Xbox360 owners happy about their purchase. The graphics look awesome, and I'm sure they'll be identical on each system, as COD 3 is going to be. However, I wonder if the Xbox 360 is going to have the upper hand with the face mapping feature that is being added because of the Xbox Live Vision Camera. Or will the PS3 get this feature because they have the Eyetoy? Only time will tell.

frostbite066586d ago (Edited 6586d ago )

The ps2 version was awfull online b/c it only supported what, 6 or 8 players compared to xbox's 16. Maybe thats why he's happy with his 360. Besides ps3 will prob only handle 8 players (that would be funny) so the 360 is really the better choice.

Smellslikepie6586d ago

I do agree that the 360 is a better choice. But you can't really make the assumption that the Xbox 360's Live service will be better than the PS3's (seemingly) free online service. It confuses me as to how they are going to run this... I never used the internet on my PS2 and I didn't play in live (at my house) on my Xbox, I only really started paying for it when I got my 360. I AM playing Devil's Advocate btw, i don't necessarily agree with what I'm saying, I'm just trying to find out peoples' opinions without getting into a little fanboy rant.

I think that the PS3's free online service could either be a BIG hit and do wonders for it or it could be a big flop. From what I've heard of the PS2's online service that was a big flop, maybe they've learnt from their mistakes? Maybe not. Maybe you'll have to have a seperate gamer tag per game? Or maybe you'll have a subscription fee for each game. I'm confused. I really don't see how the PS3 can beat the 360's Live functionality when they don't charge for it. I guess we'll have to wait and see. So, can someone tell me their experience of the play online capabilities of the PS2 and maybe refer me to some official statements about the PS3's Online service?

Thank you

smells, your forgetting that developers are going to be forced to charge PS3 online for multiplayer because of the insane costs to run a huge server.

Ohh yah and the free online idea for the 360 is called silver.

Smellslikepie6585d ago

Yeah, I know about the free online feature for the 360, and I know it's called Silver. But you don't get to play multiplayer unless you have a Gold account. We also know that Sony have said that multiplayer support is included in their basic free service. But I've just read in an interview with CNN Phil Harrison claimed that the Playstation Network Platform will include "several new revenue streams that could help supplement the industry, including sanctioned auctions of in-game auctions (unsanctioned auctions are big business on eBay), subscription-based games (which have proven very profitable for PC game makers), in-game advertising and better merchandising of popular games (following the model established by the film industry)".

Note it says subscription based games. You're right Paul. Developers are going to charge to play online, or atleast that's what I read from it.

By the way, I was really just trying to compare the Gold Service to PNP because that's what I thought it resembled best, however, it seems that Sony is offering EXACTLY the same thing. Sort of.. Does this mean that you'll have to pay per game to play online? Can any one clarify this for me.

Also, if anyone wants to play on Live (360) add me my Gamertag is: smellslikepie1

Mortal Kombat 9 Is Still NetherRealm's Best Game 13 Years Later

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro246h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro246h ago

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8

Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.

I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price

franwex7h ago

Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.

I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!

GamerRN27m ago

Burnout 3, Risk Factions... I would kill for either of those

Xbox gamers warned they've 72 hours before a ton of classic games are gone forever

The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.

The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.

Phil Spencer: "Game preservation is critical to us at Team Xbox."

darthv7212h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Technically, the games ARE preserved... they are just removing the ability to purchase new games through the 360. They have to keep a full backup of every title (even delisted ones) because they will have to offer the ability to redownload purchased content to users.

I had deleted some games a few years back that had become delisted. I was able to get them back by going through my download history. The games in question were TMNT (classic and re-shelled), afterburner climax and outrun online. Im glad I was able to get those back as they are some of the best on the service.

Lightning7710h ago

Well The Ultimate Alliance games have been delisted. I dunno how many old Activision games have been Delisted but MS needs to remake or remaster old Activision games and release them on Xbox and PS. I. Hope that's what they're doing right now.

They can't reserve everything but they 100% can reserve what they got or own.

Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Inverno10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

-72 Hours Remain-

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.

hiawa239h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.

anast7h ago

They are holding games hostage so people spend more money. This is some sleazy stuff.

Reaper22_6h ago

No, not telling you would be sleazy. I have a few more games to buy then I'm good. 360 was and still is a great console. Xbox is the best place to play!

anast6h ago

I'm not sure we are on the same page.
