Viral website features Tom Clancy game


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've been listening to the news on that site on and off for about 45 minutes. I did a write up on gamertagradio.com about some of the info I've learned, but I haven't figured anything out.

IGN calling it a Rainbow logo was funny, but you failed to mention Tom Clancy's Firehawk (tisk tisk)

Hey, well after reading the transcripts it shows diffrent parts from the 3 games, and anyone else thinking a game where all 3 are togeather in some sort of war?

Yes it would be weird, and the games all play each other completely diffrent, but maybe there doing something to link them, anyway less jab more Graw2 to play

Its Scott MITCHELL. Not Scott Michael.

And yeah, this would be pretty cool if this was a GRAW/Splinter Cell like game, since during GRAW 2 they made mention of Third Echelon.

Well, let's see. At the end of GRAW 2, Scott was stuck on a dam, disabled from an EMP that landed a couple meters in front of him. At the end of Rainbow Six: Vegas, it seems like you've foiled their plan, except that Gabe escapes and who knows what he has up his sleeve. I don't know how Double Agent ended, but all of them seem to have to do with people from other countries assaulting the US, so who knows.

If the lady talking and the picture are occuring Simultaneously then it cant be scott, atleast right after the ending of GRAW2

"22 years after the signing of NASFA"

so it cant be exactly after GRAW 2

(sorry if its not NASFA)

totally agree that it can't be Scott mitchell. we all agree that JSF is joint strike fighter which is a military aircraft and i have read some websites that it may be the characters name. however my main point that i am trying to get at is the numbers after the website of rev64 i believe that it is a code, cryptex that provides the title of the game or further clues about the game.

The numbers after JSF when put into google maps bring up a location in India near China and Napal. Not sure if that helps anything

Also it cant be Scott. He was born in 1976 not 1991 and it cant be Fisher he was born in 57. This would have to be a new person all together.

Itd be a lie if I said I wasnt interested in the idea of... whatever the heck rev64 is... Yet the olny speculation I can give was while I was serving in the unit commanded by the founder of DELTA's son, he mentioned the existance of a unit named the joint service force. A black ops unit more secretive than DELTA who takes operatives from all military/government strike services.

I think there was a connection between Ghost Recon and Splinter cell mentioned in Advanced Warfighter 1 or 2.

here it is, under Trivia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_warfighter_2

man Sam Fisher is bad ass, but he is currently out of Third Echelon after what he did in Double Agent.

I think it will take some part on U.S. soil because one the of the clips that you can click on the side plays a video of boy saying by daddy and then you hear gun shots and people saying get down get down.
