The Best of E3 2014 nominees are in, and Evolve is currently leading the pack with six nominations (Best of Show, Best Original Game, Best Console Game, Best PC Game, Best Action Game, and Best Online Multiplayer). The rest of the Best in Show games all have multiple nominations as well – Alien: Isolation, Batman: Arkham Knight, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, No Man’s Sky, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. After all the attention it’s gotten, I’m surprised Sunset Overdrive isn’t on that list, but it’s on a few others.

Check out the full list of nominees after the jump.

Ubisoft reveals more details of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

Ubisoft announced Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege at this week’s E3, which will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2015. Ubisoft Montreal is taking the lead on development, and will utilize the company’s Realblast engine.

In Rainbow Six: Siege, enemies will wall themselves in, and the Rainbow Six team will fight their way through using any means necessary. This will give players a unique opportunity to interact with the environment in new ways, seeing different levels of destruction based on what strategies they use.

Ubisoft Creative Director Xavier Marquis said, “As fans of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six and tactical shooters in general, we set out to create the game we always wanted to play within the counter-terrorism universe. We asked ourselves ‘how could we capture the incredible tension and unique tactics of these confrontations?’ We found the answer in the Siege gameplay and procedural destruction… Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege is the game that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six fans have been waiting for, and first-person shooter players will be drawn to its unique gameplay.”

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege will be coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2015. Hit the jump for the full press release. (more…)

Ubisoft @ E3 14: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege announced

ubisofte32014-header

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot popped up at the end of the publisher’s E3 Press Conference with a big ending. Guillemot blew the roof off the building with the unveiling of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. In a heavily-scripted gameplay video pulled from a multiplayer game, we see one team storm a house to rescue a hostage, while another team tries to take out their attackers.

“If you look at long-range battle, you will find Battlefield. If you’re looking for short-to-medium-range battle, you will find Call of Duty,” said Creative Director Xavier Marquis. “In the short range, no one exists but us.”

While the attackers appear to have more advanced tech to track their opponents, the defending team can barricade themselves into rooms by blocking windows and setting boobytraps. The game also appears to have totally destructible environments.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege currently has no release date, but will likely be available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This means that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Patriots is most likely no more.
