Pretty cool vid. Just too bad it is so far away from coming out.

2013? Wow.....

The game is now listed for pre-order on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&ref_=tsm_1_tw_s_vg_lu43cc&rh=n%3A468642%2Ck%3AB0062U5KH0%7CB0062U5KG6%7CB006 2U5KFW&page=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=thegamtai-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957).

Pretty intense for a concept.

Count me as interested, provided they stop the damn hyper-awareness of the previous R6 games that basically lets the AI shoot at you before you even round a corner.

looks awesome if they keep it up.

There's a 'good chance' Rainbow 6: Patriots is next-gen

Rainbow 6: Patriots encountered a rough production patch earlier this year when it swapped out creative director David Sears for Jean-Sebastien Decant. That doesn't mean the game is any less ambitious, and Patriots might even even up on next-gen platforms, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot tells Polygon.

Answering a direct question about Patriots being a next-gen game, Guillemot says, "There's a good chance it can be." Patriots is still scheduled for a launch in 2013, remember.

Ubisoft is working with Sears' original vision, which involves taking down a homegrown terrorist cell called the True Patriots, and making ambiguously moral decisions about the lives (and violent deaths) of civilians along the way. "But that's what is interesting with the concept – being able to give a choice to the person who is playing," Guillemot says.

When Ubisoft announced Rainbow 6 Patriots in November of 2011, it pencilled in the next installment of the tactical shooter series for a 2013 debut. With 2014 just weeks away and not so much as a new trailer for Patriots in years, Ubisoft has finally explained what happened to the project. Speaking with IGN, Ubisoft North American president Laurent Detoc confirmed that Rainbow 6 Patriots had to be rebooted.

"We had a core team," Detoc explained. "They had a good vision. They got started, and then the game wasn't working. So [they had] to start again."

He added that the game is being rebuilt on the new consoles now, so it will benefit from more powerful hardware "if and when" it releases. That might not be the only change for the game; Detoc also said the game's title, and even its premise as a game about counter-terrorism, could change before the project sees the light of day again.

While Ubisoft has kept a good track record of meeting release windows for the Assassin's Creed series, much of its remaining catalog has been subjected to delays in recent years. Two of its new next-gen IP, Watch Dogs and The Crew, were delayed in October, while other notable projects like Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Rayman Legends, I Am Alive, both Splinter Cell: Conviction and Spinter Cell: Blacklist, and a sequel to Beyond Good & Evil were delayed, overhauled, or (in Beyond Good & Evil's case) possibly abandoned.
