Ubisoft Montreal has detailed how they are working to make the hostage rescue game mode in Rainbow Six Siege as lifelike as they can. Speaking on the developer’s official website creative director Xavier Marquis and game designer Chris Lee discussed how important it was for the team that they got the experience of being a counter-terrorist operative trying to free hostages as realistic as possible. The studio even went so far as to get feedback from a real spec-ops team who had played early builds of the game. Marquis explained that: “While a lot of people on our team are veteran FPS developers, at the end of the day we’re just gamers and consulting with the real operators helps make sure that we’re doing it right. We get to ask them a lot of questions and get great feedback. Interestingly enough, they told us that if given a choice to protect a teammate or a civilian, the GIGN operator would protect the civilian. That’s some serious dedication to preserving life

E3 is over for another year and it’s given gamers plenty to look forward to for the rest of the year and beyond. As is obligatory following any E3 coverage, here are my Top 5 Games from E3 – this is my personal selection of games that have me the most excited moving forward. Sunset Overdrive I have a love/hate relationship with my XBox One. On one hand I love Titanfall – it refreshed competitive multiplayer gaming for me at a time it was desperately stagnant. On the other hand, there’s a desperate lack of games for the XBox One. The PS4 has a steady flow of indie titles alongside multi platform games that perform better on the PS4 than the XBox One. Sunset Overdrive gives me a great deal of hope though – it looks fast, action-packed, beautifully bright, full of personality and gives me a genuine reason to boot up my XBox One again. The trailer for the game is also very clever and witty. Sunset Overdrive looks great

After more than 6 years on hiatus and following numerous reports that the game has been rebuilt from the ground up, at the Ubisoft pre E3 conference today gamers saw squad based first person shooter Rainbow Six Siege announced. It was the spectacular ending to Ubisoft’s show, which has probably had the strongest lineup with only Sony’s conference left. Ubisoft also showed live multiplayer gameplay from Rainbow Six Siege and it looked like an absolute blast! The world premiere gameplay of Rainbow Six Siege had plenty to offer, and no doubt there are tonnes of little hints and things to note when re-watching. The multiplayer mission tasked the Rainbow Six squad with entering a building to extract a hostage. One of the key elements that will please fans of the older Rainbow Six games is the ability to scope out the location pre-mission, shown using a remote drone in the video, and then choose an approach plan before proceeding. In the demo, team members discussed entering the house from the basement
