It’s called exaggeration, not sarcasm. If he was being sarcastic he would have said “video games have never done that before”. Although if you were being ironic, apologies for being pedantic.

I pray that Dan Landis was being sarcastic when he said “Videogames have been doing that for hundreds of years”, because video games have not been around that long dude. Otherwise my grandfather would own me at vegas (in which few can do). If you were being sarcastic, then lol lol lol…….if not, then you are a freakin idiot.

Yes, SkullWolf, you are right. I mentioned several times that PEC mode from the original R6V was returning, and then I go and say in the comments that it’s COD4’s level-up system. That was dumb, and I apologize. What I MEANT to say was that they are adding some elements of COD4 to the level-up system that was already in Vegas, and that it will be slightly different than the PEC you are used to.

And yes, COD4 was not the first, nor was Vegas, to have a level-up system. Videogames have been doing that for hundreds of years.

It’ll be sorta like COD$ and kinda like RSV. But, better in such a manner that makes playing it more fun! Ubi will take the greatness from RSV and the sweetness from COD and make RSV2 greatly sweet! Cuz, Ubi pwns!

rainbow63 and vegas are great games and pushed the envelope.I hope they fix it where the clan whores don’t pick all the higher ranked guys with better weaapons against all the lower ranked. even it up and see who wins. allow random/even selection of the teams.

“And yes, heh, it does seem a lot like Call of Duty 4, like taking the level up system from multiplayer COD4 and adding it to Vegas.”

If anything, Call of Duty took a few lessons from Rainbow Six Vegas’s leveling system. It was fully implemented in the multiplayer portion of the first game.

While COD4 does a great job of using it, it’s not the first game to do so.

Hopefully, this game will be the unofficial sequel to Ghost Recon.

The first picture is artwork, not an image from the game. The second image is from the actual game. The trailer, to be completely honest, I’m not sure about. Based on the screens I saw of the game, graphically it’s not far off. Due to how stuff moves in the trailer, however, I would assume it’s not in-engine.

And yes, heh, it does seem a lot like Call of Duty 4, like taking the level up system from multiplayer COD4 and adding it to Vegas. Sounds like a recipe for sweetness.

Rainbow Vegas was very dissapointing.

Is that rendered in-engine?

Well jizz and nuts, you are correct. I’ll try to get that fixed.

After all the allegations revolving around Epic for failure to distribute its licensees with an updated build of their engine and that lawsuit filed by Silicon Knights, I was tempted to ask. Thanks for clarifying. Although I would like point out a mistake in the article. The main protagonist from R6V was Logan Keller, instead of Gabe Logan of the Syphon Filter series. I can see how the two can get mixed up.

By: Dan Landis

Dan Landis — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 03:08:13 +0000

Yes. Supposedly the updated engine code used in Unreal Tournament III has been distributed to all licensees. Additionally, the work done porting the original Vegas to PS3 has also benefited the performance of the sequel.

What I’m interested to know, if the PS3 version will run on a optimized build of the Unreal Engine 3.

This game is headed to 360, PS3, and PC – just in case anyone was wondering.
