RB6 Vegas Digimask feature to map your face onto your multiplayer char

[OSPerry]

With the customizable multiplayer creation in RB6 Vegas, I would have figured that GRAW 2 would have went this direction, at least borrowing some ideas from it, it seems like it was a pretty popular feature, in that a lot of people liked it in concept. Why not have the digimask tech in GRAW 2 to enable you to use the vision camera to map your own face on to your character in GRAW2? Do the studios who created GRAW 2 and RB6 Vegas not talk? Since they are both Ubisoft/Clancy games, you would have thought this feature would have made it in. Or some code would have been easily shared. Opinions?

I thought this was a pretty cool concept, and helped validate the purchase of the Vision Camera. Only 2 games use it currently correct? World Series of Poker and RB6 Vegas? I liked the RB6 multiplayer customizable options and would have thought this feature would have been picked up by GRAW2, especially it being a sequel, it being after the camera's release, wow factor, it being an Ubisoft title. Seems like these studios don't talk much to one another.

What do/did you think of RB6 Vegas Vision Cam Custom face option. Buggy yes, didn't work at first yes, but would have been a cool bell/whistle for GRAW2.

I think the face masking is a waste of developer time and a waste of bandwidth. It adds nothing to the game. Personally I hope they keep GRAW as distinct from RB6 as possible.

exactly, sometimes too much customization can be a bad thing. a lot of people got carried away in r6 vegas. i like the way recon approaches combat customization based on the map or mission and not to mention realism. i really don' t wanna see someone wearing purple or pink camo in a forrest or jungle rich map.

Agreed. I scanned my face in, played 5 games, then went back to the standard gal's face. I would much rather look at her.

It is a novelty that detracts from the game....and like somebody said....I would rather have them spend that time developing an additional map than screwing with this feature.

For that matter, custom skinds and colors I feel the same way about. Sure it is neat...but spend more time on what matters....not the ability for me to come up with camo colors that match my favorite NFL team.

Well said ick. And I'll add you could scan your face but then could not use any of the face related items such as glasses maskes etc.

The function was definitely cool, yes but you might consider the following:

- the game is using a completely different engine, than the one used for Vegas

- the Team is a completely different one

- the devs had to meet their publisher's release date

- if the game would use all features of the previous Tom Clancy Title - what would be unique?

Yeah, the face masking and moving lips are interesting tricks, but don't really bring anything to the game. Would be fine with me if it was dropped from Rainbow next time. I'd rather bring back team radio chatter in SP to the headset the way it was before.

they're 2 separate games with 2 separate styles. vegas is arcady and the recon is more tactical, imo. the only thing i would like to see brought over from r6 would be the WEAPON customization and reticle sensitivity setting. i believe those 2 things would not upset the integrity of ghost recon and it's fans. nothing else should be copied, otherwise we could just call it RAINBOW RECON.

I wouldn't call Rainbow arcadey by any means, it's just a different type of combat.
