With Rainbow Six Patriots on the distant horizon, we thought it was an appropritae moment to take a few minutes and remember what Rainbow Six was all about, back in the day.

If you find any other good Rainbow Six clips on youttube, please post them up in our forums!

GameInformer have a really great 25 minute video with three of the Rainbow Six Dev team talking about the technology behind Rainbow Six Patriots.

In the video they explain why the AI is going to be extremely realistic, their plans to humanise the characters, and why weapon nuts are going to love this game. They even threw out a challenge that gun nuts will not spot any mistakes in the detailed gun model animations.

"A whole new level of realism"

I can't remember ever seeing such an open and detailed dev interview for a Ubisoft shooter before, definately a promising start for the next Rainbow Six. I'd go further and challenge anybody not to be excited about Raimbow Six Patriots after watching the enthusiasm of these guys (well, two out of three ain't bad), and listening to the new features they have planned for Patriots.

Exciting times for Rainbow Six fans! Leave you comments in our Rainbow Six Partriots forum.

After the unofficial leak regarding Rainbow Six Patriots early this week, Ubisoft have now issued a Rainbow Six Patriots Press Release with offical details on the latest game in the Rainbow Six series.

Ubisoft say that in addition to an immersive single-player storyline, Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots will introduce a huge variety of new innovative co-op and multi-player experiences. There are rewards for working as a team and mastering the game's new features that enhance communication and tactical execution between teammates.

Post your thoughs on this announcement in our Rainbow Six Patriots forum.

Recent domain purchases by Ubisoft have revealed what will very likely be the next installment in the Rainbow Six series "Rainbow Six Patriots".

Registered only 3 days ago, rainbowsixpatriots.com will soon be the home of Team Rainbows new official website. The game logo will be all new, using a large digit 6 with the lower curves formed by a pistol.

Further details are due to be revealed very soon in print magazines, with XBox World getting the scoop. Rainbow Six Patriots will be released initially on the XBox 360 and PS3 with PC, PSP Vita and iOS versions to follow.

More details here soon, until then visit our Rainbow Six Patriots Forums. Long Live Rainbow Six!

Sony Ericsson has revealed that Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard is now available on the Xperia Play.

Xperia Play owners in Western Europe will be able to download Shadow Vanguard for free, whether this offer is available in the US I am not sure at this time. Discuss this release and watch the movie in our Shadow Vanguard forums.

An undisclosed source has also revealed some tantalising details.

More info as it appears!

While that assumption seems a stretch, Ubisoft have said the answer will "Blow Your Mind", so something as huge as a new Rainbow Six would certainly achieve mind blowing status! 

We'll post the very latest on this news here tomorrow.

We've posted out Top 3 Reasons Rainbow Six 2011 is Coming in our forums, check it out and get excited!

Thinking back, those were awesome times. Even though we were all slaves to 56k dialup internet using our phone lines, and lag issues were very common thanks to 300+ pings , we just got on with it and enjoyed the games. Rainbow Six was awesome. Great muiltiplayer and an emerging modder community made it an awesome gaming experience.

So what went wrong? Why are we sitting here now with no next gen version of Rainbow Six? Why have all of the successors (arguably) failed to capture everything that the original offered? What happened?

That's exactly the question Interactive are asking this month, What Happened to Rainbow Six? It's a great article, be sure to check it out.

You can play the interactive trailer, check out Shadow Vanguard screenshots and post your thoughts on the first new Rainbow Six game in a long time in our Rainbow Six Shadow Vanguard forums now.

Check out this hands on video of Shadow Vanguard.

We now know that Ghost Recon is to be expanded with Future Soldier, but what of Rainbow Six? According to Eurogamer there may just be a glimmer of hope for Rainbow Six fans, as an interview on a Dutch site with brand boss Michel Verheijdt revealed that he is working on not one, but two Tom Clancy games. Surely one has to be Rainbow Six!

Rainbow Six predates Ghost Recon and kick started the whole tactical shooter genre, news of a new instalment for the series is extremely exciting!

"This is a true Software Development Kit; I'm not just giving people a bunch of source code files and expecting them to know how to set up their game to compile.  This SDK comes ready-to-go, just unzip and it will work.  It also includes tools I made to ease the process of modding, as well as plenty of tutorials and code examples."

Download Twilight's Raven Shield SDK here.

"You simply run the mod, and now any number of mods can be selected from the "Custom Game" options screen, not just IW or AS.  Causes no problems with multiplayer or joining PB servers because it doesnt overwrite any files."

Sounds good especially with the new RPG Raven Shield mod around the corner!
