We all love games, this is obvious, but do you love games enough to want to play for 24 hours… continuously? It’s not an easy feat by any means - even staying awake for 24 hours can be tough for some people but to have to concentrate for the entire time? Dedication. That’s what you need.
At i33 the Frag Dolls are making a Guinness World Record attempt for “the longest continuous play of an FPS”. The Dolls will be there in conjunction with Ubisoft and Xbox 360®, Guinness World Records will be there - where will you be?
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is the game the record will be set on, the latest title in the highly acclaimed R6 series. Released on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft® only a day before the event (20th March), the Frag Dolls will have plenty of time to get accustomed to the game as they pace themselves for a solid 24 hours of good, clean terrorist slaughter
Starting at 10am on Saturday 22nd, the Frag Dolls will play for as long as they can on the Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network - if you’re at i33 or even at home, you can be a part of the record attempt by challenging them to a game. If successful the record will be going into the Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2009.
Ubisoft are also showcasing R6: Vegas 2 at i33, bringing along a further eight Xbox 360 consoles and giving you the chance to sample what’s set to be one of the most popular titles of the year so far. Come along and play anytime during i33, and speak to the guys from Ubisoft in person about R6: Vegas 2. Oh and bring caffeine - the Frag Dolls are probably going to need it!
Update 23/03/06
Ubisoft’s crack team of console-loving girls has set the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous play of a single FPS at 24 hours.
Starting at 10am on Saturday morning the intrepid three - Sarin, Jam and Kitt - played Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 for the whole 24 hours until 10am today. By 5-6am they certainly looked to be slowing slightly but received their second wind just in time to see them through to the end. Well done from all at Multiplay, we’re proud to have had another Guinness World Record broken at the i-Series!
