I like the idea of the destructible scenery, seems to be one of this year's must have features along with BF Bad Company among others.

sadly even though Vegas2 will be a good game its no step up at all graphics wise from the first game according to OXM. Pitty, would have looked sooo much better using the latest Unreal engine.

I am looking forward to GOW1's ending was crud - just on a chain gun on that train!

Cant wait though, but GTA is more important at the moment!

Agreed about both. I think with 1 it was meant to leave you skeptical on whether or not they'd be a sequel.

True, very true indeed! I loved the game, multiplayer was a blast! I still play it now and again, but in favour of COD4 at the mo!

Preordered my copy of GTA !!! £35 from Amazon cheaper than Game!

I was under the impression vegas used UE3, and so is wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Six_Vegas

I thought the graphics look a lot better than the first Vegas.

Yes it does apparently after re-reading the article from what I had remembered.

Not so according to the article..

Just to clarify what was written in OXM:-

Quote:

Yes, it's visually identical to the first Vegas game and while still handsome, its starting to look just a bit yesteryear in the texture department. Which it is - Vegas 2 clearly isn't making full use of the latest Unreal technology, but sticking with whatever custom package Ubisoft licensed from EPIC last time. It also remains in Las Vagas, which smacks of economic adaptation of levels missed the 2006 release,......
