The Early Development Of Rainbow Six Siege

Take a trip back in time with me to witness the early development of Rainbow Six Siege. Can you believe that Rainbow Six was initially supposed to have a classed based character system and that the idea to include unique operators into the game, was only explored half way through the project, after the E3 reveal! And on top of that, early build for the game actually had a respawn system! Imagine how different the game would have been if these aspects had made it all the way to launch. Come and see what else was changed during development and how the game's four core design principles helped shape the game into the experience we know today!

[@josefgunter4238]

That would be especially great for an additional story mode! It could make multiplayer games last a bit longer and less fun for some, but having it in a mode similar to old installments would rule.

Mr X I feel like the idea of explosive and gas drones could work as an operator gadget. The operator has 2 normal drones which work like every other drone and will have 2 other drones which can be set to explode or he can switch it so the drone will let out gas Drone explosive mode: Will explode and do 50 damage to enemy Will take 5 seconds before exploding so the enemy has enough time to shoot or run away from the drone Drone gas mode: Creates a large area of gas similar in the size of smokes gas Does 5 damage every second and will last for 10 seconds This drone will have a larger hit box similar to twitches drone

[@plzfixwolves955]

I have the idea of discarding the Unique Operator/Hero System, and just implement the special ability system which you can pick for your character and allow you as the player can create, and customize you're own character, and equip your character with different armor, and camos. Similar to that of Rainbow Six Vegas 1, and 2.

DavidMN Considering the series came from vegas 1 and 2, Siege is much closer to the OG R6’s than it has for a while now. While things have certainly changed from Raven Shield and 2003 the game still has the same spirit of those games even if its different. I love both and while I’m super happy with Siege I do hope they someday return to the classic gameplay style of R6 1-3 because just like Siege, those games were truly something special

But one thing I expectet to appear in this video was the cancelled R6 Patriots. didn't that influence their work aswell? Greetings from Germany!

[@TheEmolano]

TBH I think a class system would be very cool, I personally like to grind MY character instead of picking a premade character and learning to play it. This is why I never really get into lol or Dota and maybe also why I stoped playing siege. At least they should allow to grind the recruit class. Also I disliked the way they oversimplified the siege part, securing a door with a table would be very cool, and see a atacker blow both up even cooler. But I know this part was for the best since it would be a pain to implement it and the game's optimization would go to a operation health stage. The respawn system could work fine but the actual system is good too. The intel and drone part was for the best too(but the flying drone could stayed, would be a good spawn peek counter). Also the permanent destruction would be cool, they just need to make it like cs(3 atackers rounds then 3 deffender rounds, the destruction resets between the side switch).

[@LocksVid]

apenas um nome de canal it’s not about being “cool” it’s about being balanced

[@TheEmolano]

@@LocksVid I don't see how what I said would be unbalanced. Class griding could cause some power creep but nothing unplayable(operators already cause it). Cumulative destruction could incentive even more strategy. It could break some actual maps but the devs would create their new maps with it in mind. Barriers are more cosmetic than anything. And spawn peek is a actual problem in game that could be solved as i said. In the end is just how it could have been, but game is good actually. I think it could be better, the video creator thinks it's perfect this way. This is how life works.

[@davidgiaccotto1426]

Great video. Thanks for taking us back to the inception of Siege.

[@Heisenberk.]

Great video just like always 💥💥

[@AlpineBishop]

I remember seeing the initial commercials for the game and I thougjt jtd be a cops and robbers, more tactical version of BF Hardline. Dunno if I want that or what we have now.

[@therumbleinthejunglee]

What we have now easily asshole

[@ThatOneGuy46696]

Sound is so important in R6 that they still haven't fixed it.

[@yulles225]

That One Guy works fine for me

[@rostamdastan4384]

i love that drone animation and movement at 6:48

[@danielvieira9806]

Ash’s head shot hit box is magic

[@TexanApollyon]

Persistent damage for each team so when they swap it switches to a different save and no picking the same operator twice. That could be a fun game mode. Honestly a lot of this looks super cool

[@W35-Monty]

That would be fun, even if it only came as a special event. Like an attrition mode, but I'd prefer to be able to pick an operator more than once, provided that operator hadn't been killed in a previous round.

[@Cars701]

I love this DVD commentary stuff. Thanks for the upload.

[@aminurrahman1]

I thought the thumbnail look like phantom forces on Roblox lol

[@rranee]

Me too lol

[@WinterzPlayz]

hahaha I wish they would make some more maps fr

[@AyMaple]

Ikr

[@___Venice___]

persistent damage would make an interesting mode to have in casual especially with the AA12 existing

[@klohs3340]

I feel like jackals gadget simulates his knowledge of being a master tracker. The gadget itself doesnt seem too far fetched. A visor that let's you see more detail on the floor. The ping is Jackals tracking expertise at work.

[@iHuzza]

It is pretty far fetched, if you think about it. Whilst seeing footprints with a special visor isn't that outlandish, using a limited sample of those footprints from several minutes ago to instantly identify the exact location of a person (even if they're on the other side of the building/on a different floor) is complete nonsense, whatever way you look at it.

[@GoatDust]

Great video. Really cool to see this developmental footage

[@noahmcelwey2598]

I think it is incredible how much textures add, without textures you see the 3d models are quite simple

[@fritzkier]

I hope those early concept make it to Siege as a new season maps or something. Because that's actually interesting to play.

[@Jmcgee1125]

Persistent damage would have been a really interesting concept but you do raise some good points. Maybe add it as a custom gamemode.

[@PowerrangerInWhite]

this is most interesting r6 ever! I love to see old vanilla ganeplays and all these infos where those things came from! BUT where did you get the r6 invitational orchestra audio from? I NEED IT

[@samuraimedi4061]

Very well put together

[@yanshinesandium3856]

Look, you're basically the community's big brain of stats. Do us all a favour and convince ubisoft to cancel a season to give us a loooong Operation Health 2.

[@thewhitewolf58]

Yanshine Sandium yes please I want new maps not maps with 10 small mods each that’s going to get old quickly as fuck

[@bandarsalh1338]

Agreed That would fix operators like finka and lion

[@blaster5685]

Please do 😂😂

[@oliviamoose9641]

I've had to take a break, the sound bugs, the latency issues, the random wtf deaths all are too much for me

[@DwarfElvishDiplomacy]

Ubi doesnt listen to streamers and youtubers, they only look at the stats and reddit, which gave us 2 speed blitzmaschine

[@bez1l654]

6:14 There's the garage that is showing up in Operation Ember Rise TTS...

[@MonkeyManAB]

Watching this video kinda blew my mind. Especially the recordings for the animations.

[@dylanhale7300]

This is very cool to see, also cool to see the weapons that might be coming one day... ARX160, AKM, Attacker SMG's...

[@Carson878]

I think the damage did to the map can stay for 1 more round but need to be fair to both teams, which means at least 4 rounds players need to play. First round, A team ATK damage to the map stay and need to DEF it in the next round. Then reset, B team ATK and again the damage to the map stay and B team DEF. If the game draw, there will be a 5th round with everything reset. Since it needs you to stay at least 4 rounds so I think it might be good to be a separate casual mode or in ranking.

[@Castrated__]

Shield that can go through walls?? Blitz: *_Hold my shield_*

[@BananaGamingMatthew]

Great informative video!

[@alecrobertson8591]

there were 2 features i like. one was the smoke drone and the other is what looked like attackers being able to hide behind a shield ( like in 5:50) instead of just standing behind

[@noahklugsberger3328]

Very interesting video, it is interesting to see how much planning goes into games and how many interesting ideas and concepts get scrapped. But I think that everything scrapped was for the better. Loved the vid, maybe make more like these?

[@paolocannizzaro11]

This is HUGE content Rogue. Thank you. Cheers

[@Rogue9]

Thanks, glad you liked it! :D

[@trashcompactorYT]

4:56 I like the old pistol recoil animations. Much more realistic than what we currently have

[@SGBanny]

Thank you for this video, that’s awesome.

[@user-lk8hi3bo5v]

19:35 what is this pattern in the wall XD (it does look strange)

[@lyonixx9886]

no way xD

[@sschannel4550]

Ffs xddddd it's a damn piness

[@truegopnik4492]

They didn’t know how accurate that would become

[@lyonixx9886]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKjPp4yeZc1pac0 5:42 xDDDDD

[@RAYTHEONGAMING]

Siege should have had doors. It's one fundamental part of the Rainbow Six series that made tactical gameplay great in early titles

[@maxglaak5317]

RaytheonGaming yeah would have made it more fun I think

[@abauchu]

Excellent research and video ! Thanks

[@Rogue9]

You are welcome!

[@wilshirelive1014]

This is the pinnacle of an r6 video well done!

[@GyLala]

E3 is Expectation (Full) Gameplay is Reality (No Texture No Shadow No Animation... etc)

[@baturalpcrimsondawn9907]

I guess ubi is planning to serve these graphics in next game R6 Quarentine.

[@f333g5]

"Intel" *my mind* "I think it isn't a CPU"

[@TheDandonian]

That was an unbelievably good video.

[@onlyme0349]

This is a really unique view of the game development process, thank you
