Guns! Lights! Women! RAINBOW SIX VEGAS 2... Unreal Engine 3... wait WTF?

[neilthecellist]

I saw the HD trailer for it. It looked great. I was like, "WHOA. Ubisoft finally realized the full potential of Unreal Engine 3!!!! I GOTTA GET THIS GAME LIKE NOW OMG OMG OMG."

Then I saw the actual in-game screenshots. It looked awful. So the trailer was CGI rendered.

The game itself looks like it's Raven Shield textures (which by the way, looked worse than Unreal Tournament 2003) with HDR. That's it in a nutshell.

:o

Oh, and get this, I had a dream about Vegas 2 last night (which is actually why I thought of posting up this thread today) :

The dream consisted as follows:

Me: Dude, I just got Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. It sucks balls. I mean, I feel like I'm just playing it for plot.
Dude: Well, maybe you should've pirated the game then.
Me: Pirating's illegal. Anyway, Vegas 2 has *****y multiplayer.
Dude: Well, maybe you should've pirated the game then.
Me: Pirating's illegal. Anyway, Vegas 2's textures suck, and for some reason, the game runs like sh*t on my computer. And I have a GeForce 8800.
Dude: Well, maybe you should've pirated the game then.
Me: Pirating's illegal. Anyway, Vegas 2 has decent music, but the voice acting is still god-awful, and the lack of subtitles means I have to discern through a fobby Korean accent and an African-British accent that gets on my nerves.
Dude: Sounds like the game isn't worth it. You should've pirated the game.
Me: But...
Dude: You're running out of reasons. Anyway, You Really Should Have Pirated The Game. It Wasn't Worth Your Money.

:( My mind is probably speaking the truth. We'll find out in 10 days.

its only illegal if you get caught

[Balton]

how about renting the game?

[Steyr]

How about not pirating the game and just buying something from valve instead?

[DeeperShade]

How about not being a Valve assboy.

If it's a standard paint-by-the-numbers shooter, merely masquerading as a tactical shooter - like the first part - it's not worth getting anyhows.

What the game is out in 10 days? Vegas 2 is looking all the same as the previous ones with the addition of sprint. I don't know if it's worth it yeah...

Rent if you have a 360.

Ut-oh.

I don't see anything that says that Paul Haslinger will be scoring the game. Wikipedia doesn't say so, the official site doesn't say, and Haslinger's own website doesn't mention it. Am I not looking hard enough?
