No Nintendo Wii version and no demo planned for Rainbow Six Vegas 2


Ubisoft will likely steer clear of hardcore shooters because the market is too narrow for it to be a viable business choice said Rainbow Six Vegas 2 game designer Phil Therien.

Therien had been asked whether the company planned to reintroduce more realistic shooters such as the original Ghost Recon on current-generation hardware.

He also revealed that there won't be a demo version of Vegas 2.

"We took the decision to spend our time on polishing the game and the demo option was cut," he said.

"It's really time-consuming to create a demo and we needed the dev time to finish our game."

He also explained that four-player co-op was reduced to two-player because the single-player levels couldn't easily support four players.

Therien says that there are virtually no differences between the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Vegas 2 - and at the moment there are no plans for working on the Nintendo Wii.
