Rainbow Six: Patriots Goes Back to Drawing Board, What Went Wrong?

Game publisher Ubisoft has announced that its upcoming first person shooter (fps) video game that was part of the earlier announced Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series will have to be "remade".

Ubisoft had released a teaser trailer for the game in 2011 where it showed off the negative characters titled Treadway with an interesting concept of organised domestic militia. Though there was a good reason that the game should have headed for the reboot way earlier, it was reportedly held back by the editorial group. It was later realised that the game was not delivering its promises and thus has to be re-developed.

Laurent Detoc, president of Ubisoft North America, said, "We had a core team. They had a good vision. They got started, and then the game wasn't working. So [they had] to start again," IGN reported.

"There's an editorial group in Ubisoft, a big group, very influential. If the game is not good enough, they say it's not good enough. Most of the time, the team will say, 'yeah, I know.' But sometimes they want to continue in a direction where you say, 'no, it's not going to work.'"

He further said that the development and launch of next-generation video game consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will improve the game's development.

"Rainbow had to be remade," he said. "Now they're going to have the benefit of the new consoles, if and when it comes out. It's one of those examples where you try, it doesn't work, you try again. If it doesn't work, we're not going to bring it to you."

Detoc has confirmed that the game will release for next-generation consoles too. However, there was no information relating to its arrival date. There is also possibility that the concept and subject matter of the game might be changed.
