Subject: Rainbow Six Extraction - official trailer + gameplay footage
After a long period of silence, Ubi's finally releasing gameplay footage of their upcoming 3 player coop shooter:
Siege it ain't, but the Operation Chimera content was fun and played well enough using the mechanics of the core game.
Operators available in the game at launch:
Hibana
Pulse
Doc
Gridlock
Ela
Finka
Alibi
Capitao
Lion
Sledge
Vigil
Nomad
Rook
Jager
IQ
Fuse
Tachanka
Smoke
Mostly they've gone with fraggers, breachers, area denial and support, but with all gadgets reworked to fit the sci-fi setting more. Chuffed that IQ is part of the team, though odd that they've left Buck, one of the better Operation Chimera ops, out of this one.

The visuals and skins shown so far are not ticking off any boxes for me. It's all way too sterile and bright neon, exchanging the mutated humans for generic aliens is a massive step back as well. Dearly hoping, that if I read that right, skins from Siege can be ported over to Extraction, I've got quite a few unique options for the ops included that I'd love to run instead of the REACT skins.
It looks fun, but not full retail price fun, especially not when I need two extra players to get the most out of the experience. Also, not long after this one is released Far Cry 6 is up for release as well, so I already know where my gaming budget will go towards for that quarter of the year.

From what I've been able to figure out, those two sets of skins are basically "freebies" for if you play R6:Extraction on the same account as R6: Siege? You get the Pulse and Smoke skins in R6: Siege and the Lion and Finka skins for R6: Extraction.
Additionally, if you play Siege and Extraction on the same account it unlocks all the Operators from Extraction in Siege.

Useless it is then, as most people picking this up will already have unlocked most, if not all Year One and beyond operators to date through previous season passes or play.
But at least it can be played solo according to the latest trailer, so a friendless shill like me can still enjoy it somehow.

Did they say it has cross-platform play now? Cause, well...that might be A Thing if it is.
Also: I stopped playing Siege a few years ago. I think I was up to Alibi/Nomad? Maybe? There's def a few characters there I do not have myself on Siege.

I wouldn't count on cross-platform play becoming a thing by launch. It's been hinted at as a possible feature for Siege itself to prop up the flagging numbers, but all one has to do is point towards the disastrous Shadowrun shooter to see that cross-platform play is never a good idea concerning first person shooters.
