UBI signed an agreement to use Havok middleware to create all of the upcoming games including Rainbow Six. This is at least nice to hear that they are thinking about another R6.

It appears Havok stuff helps them create animations and physics but still requires a seperate game engine.

hopefully Ubi wakes up and listens to the R6 fans. Creates the new game for PC first then port that to consoles.

but that is just dreaming isn't it??

These days, consoles come way before PC platform, due to its sheer size in the market and profit margin....dont hold ur breath for a decent rainbox 6 game I recon, I'm going modern warfare 2 anyway.

Good to see 'Rainbow Six' in a press release, even if it't not UBI saying it. I wonder if they will stay with the Unreal engine or move to something new? DX11? Though doubtful since consoles are stuck on DX9....But since the next Ghost Recon has been pushed to March I am guessing we'll see the next R6 at the end of Septemter 2010.

*****UBI if you are listening the gaming world still needs and wants a Rainbow Six game and not a COD/HALO clone*****

..and for FFS lets not repeat the dedicated server (err lack of) fiasco that happened with Vegas and Vegas 2.

While I'm at it...
@ CMs/CDs/Whomever...When the official announcement for the R6 comes out and the forums reflect it...please have seperate PC and Console forums for the beginning. Yes we understand you want both platforms to share the same experience, but there are very specific issues/concerns/needs that should be addressed seperately on both platforms. Otherwise we have PC gamers posting on console subjects and console gamers posting on PC subjects which just makes everything look like a cluster(you know what).

I can not stress enough the importance of having proper [S]tand [A]lone [D]edicated [S]erver files from the beginning. The most recent victim of this is Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising, MP is non-existant and what little there is, is almost unplayable.

Nice find Pest. Now that I read it again, R6 is being mention because of previous use of Havok Physics, not future...
