Ubisoft is uncharacteristically up to some viral marketing antics, hosting some teaser for an unannounced game over at www.rev64.com. The website features the face of a man who winces and grimaces and a news stream heard in the background talking about OPEC and its affect on the US. There's a whole bunch of text flanking the right side of the page with clickable links that either play news clips, make the man's face cringe, or play weird sounds. Again, we're not professionals at figuring this viral stuff out, so we'll leave it up to you guys. But we do know that all of Ubisoft's fingerprints are on the site (that's the easy part) and it also showcases the Tom Clancy logo at the bottom of the page (even though IGN reports it as a Rainbow Six logo ... tisk, tisk). Is it a new Rainbow Six game or maybe it's the next Splinter Cell installment, we just can't tell. We'll just have to wait this one out, unless someone wants to spend hours analyzing the website and report back to us. Please?

I would say this is some sort of compilation of all 3 franchises.
In the audio clips it mentions Ghosts, Splinter Cell's, and Tactical Squad Groups. And this man was born in 91 and looks around 30 which would set the game around 2020.
Who knows but let the excitement build.

Browsing the forums of the Rev64 site...I came across this...
"Revalation 6:4: And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat theron to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."
"I was looking through the radio transmissions on the website, and yes there have been many references to a "Red Horse."
People seem to think its a world-wide war game on US soil....
sounds freakin sweet!!

An idea that I have had for a while now was: "Wouldn't it be cool to have all the Tom Clancy games (RB6, GR, SC) playing through the same storyline at the same time in each title!" Maybe this is the time. I think it would be cool for Sam Fisher getting backup from Scott Mitchell. I do suspect a new title on the horizon though.

Revaltion 6 is the traditional appocolypse story (the horsemen and all that jazz)...
Politically/militarily there are a couple things to take place in 2020 -
1. a Presidential election if my math is right
2. Deployment of the furture force warior into the US military (think Ghost Recon).
3. A Guy named Chittom (sp?) has been predicting a civil war in the United States
4. China has stated it will retake Taiwan

UPdiznate - After reading the IGN article I am willing to make the leap that this will be a Civil War in the US - lone man stopping it type thing. Maybe a new Arc of Splinter Cell?

Oh my god. I just got finished watching all of the yellow click events, and this game definitely features Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon, as the words "Splinter Cell" and "Cross Com" are mentioned specifically. I really have no idea which takes precedence though, because the main game storyline makes it seem like you will take the role of a general of some sort. Maybe this suggestion is a bit out there, but could this be an RTS? I can't wait to find out more about this game.

This definetely seems like some sort of worldwide huge war.
In one of the news feeds an anchorwoman says "UK Forces dead, spanish forces dead," and she comment on the different attacks by the US and terrorists.. Outisde 'former us capital of washington DC suffered heavy casualties. Death tolls cannot be confirmed." Then she talks about stuff happening in france about suprise offences and the such. European groundforces, lengthy seige, etc. London incendianery air strikes: another major civilian center effected in the conflict. Tower of parliament fallen, refugees, US senate debates expansion of republic infastruucture in boston, seneter kennedy, the euro drops three points, evacuations..
In another it has a male and female talking in a foreign language.
Ghost leader needs to disable drones, Osprey from spinter cell visible in some flashes, and ghost member's helmets in some. The dude is scarred n shit so he seems to be remembering all the terrible crap that has happened.
In another one 'splinter cell is in the field,' is clearly said, followed by Russiana (i think) tanlking.
Whatever this is, it's going to be epic.

This has splinter cell all over it. If this was a multiplayer games you would've seen more characters i.e: team mates. It looks to be sam's little boy/girl or family got killed and from his last mission he got beat up pretty good. When the games comes out we'll find out he got caught doing a mission, then landed in the hospital, then they went after his family and killed them, and now he has to go and find the killer(s).

Here is my guess,
Scott Mitchell was captured in mexico, right after the air sopport carpet bombed the Nuke,(at the end of GRAW 2) and World War 3 starts over one man. Maybe? sounds like tom clancy's style to me.
While in game you do Dual-playing, one side, splinter cell type, tring to get intel on his ware abouts, and then cut to the rescues and raids Ghost recon style, sort of a Halo 2 duel point of view game play.

The two people talking in Russian are saying "Even though it has been compromised everything should go as planned" and "It has to be spread out"
it was kind of hard to make out...

Dude that's Scott Michaels. Hes in the hospital after the Nuke exploded in Ghost Recon 2. The televisions around him are on the news stations. This gunna be epic, at this point I dont care what it is, Im so excited I think this may be as huge as Halo 3 if they market it right. . .
