Personally think they're now trying to much to compete with MGS etc and trying too hard to turn it into an actioner to get the mainstream crowd's dollar.

I liked splinter cell originally for what it was, a straight balls to the wall, true stealth game, where if you screwed up, you were gonna get dead fast.

Agreed. I remember playing the original on Xbox, damn that was amazingly hard but extremely fun to stealth.

[BL4CK1E]

Cant wait, Played all Splinter cells and none have disapointed me.
So im sure they didnt go overboard on this one :D

[Shady]

Looks Awesome.. I'll defiantly be getting it even IF the reviews are bad

[syzk]

yea played them all as well never been let down.

Chaos Theory was definitely the best, cant say I was too happy about some of the changes made in double agent to the general Ui/gadget/stealth system seemed a bit simplified compared to the previous games.

I thought Double Agent was poo. I really enjoyed the original one.

A motto to live by...

:P

Drool! I wonder if my lappy will run it, or if I'll have to wait till I can afford a gaming rig.

[BL4CK1E]

Wow Gu^n3r Nice find.
Im so gettin this game loved every single splinter cell so far and this one just looks wicked.

YouTube- Splinter Cell Conviction Interactive Trailer [HD] (Start)

[Psyrus]

Hmm that interactive trailer makes me sad... look how much the 'stealth' trailer fails @ stealth. He like walks right next to two guards in almost complete light, and if that's the 'stealth' approach, I'm literally not even going to bother with the 'action' one. I don't think I'd even shoot 4 guys in a whole level back when I played the originals (1 & 2)

[Gu^n3r]

yeah i know, times changing :(

but then again thats probably on the lowest difficulty.

oh and the silencer never worked it the first couple, it was as loud as most ak's so u would always be spotted which sucked, atleast now they dont know whats going on.

[CDN-SMOKEJUMPER]

This looks very cool.

[aussie_marksman]

It appears to be pretty good game, its just not what I believe "splinter cell" should be.

Also i hope it is supported/patched better than Double agent was on PC, considering how big i imagine the franchise is the amount bugs still apparent in the last patch of double agent is quite disappointing and many of them are large bugs.

[Shady]

The AI looks completely stupid..
I reckon they mastered the AI in no.2...

And he floated to the ground when he dropped off the pipe in the "action" trailer..

Wow, that does look cool!

So this would be played online right?

[Gu^n3r]

Wow, that does look cool!

So this would be played online right?
yeah of course, online, offline, lan :)

[CDN-SMOKEJUMPER]

So me and you could do that coop on our PC's without some stupid split screen, how awesome!

I love technology.

[Jerrif]

So I guess they did away with the whole 'aiming' nuisance. It seems now he just autoshoots anyone who looks at him funny.

Also, 'sonar goggles'? Looks like something out of Batman...

It seems kinda dumbed down compared to the first ones.

[Gu^n3r]

well that is the console version.

so hopefully its less dumbed down for PC and not just a complete port over.

sonar goggles are badass, i can finally see through wall! stupid heat vision never worked before.

TWO EXCLUSIVE IN-GAME CONTENT ITEMS

* Gain first access to the MP5-SD3, a lethal close-quarters submachine gun with an integrated suppressor.
* Customize your multiplayer character with an exclusive 3rd Echelon outfit.

two things you get when you pre-order collectors edition, whats interesting is the multiplayer customisation part, which i assume will be a general feature but a special outfit is available to other. multiplayer hasent been talked about at all other than coop which was just released.

Good News men, a new IGN video showing some sort of new game mode called "Deniable Ops" has debuted and it seems all you have to do is go around and kill people, single player or coop, so yeah fun killing stuff, check the video out here:

[Gu^n3r]

[captncrunch240]

. hopefully they bring it back to the original gameplay


It looks like it will be even less like the originals from the trailers :(

[captncrunch240]

might still be a good game thou

[Gu^n3r]

It looks like it will be even less like the originals from the trailers :(
times have changed.

for the best.

[captncrunch240]

ive liked all the slinter cells to date they are amoungst my favorite games i like how you can play them all stealthy if you want a challenge or if you just want to have fun you can go all out guns a blazing. i like trying to play it with out having to use my guns at all unfortunatley with the new one that dosnt look like it will be to easy

[Wild_Turkey2009]

It looks like it will be even less like the originals from the trailers :(

:(..

[aussie_marksman]

Yeah i totally agree, looks like an awesome game.
It just doesn't look like it should be a Splinter Cell game.

[Gu^n3r]

Yeah i totally agree, looks like an awesome game.
It just doesn't look like it should be a Splinter Cell game.

its just got to do with the story of the game, Sam has changed, hes more agressive and doesnt need to hide as much before, hes angry and wants answers, he doesnt need to be stealthy like he use to.

I think the gameplay changes are well suited to the story line, and they have emphasied that alot in interviews.

If sam was still with third echo then the game would of been alot different gameplay wise.

^^ woo can't wait its about time fps's/shooters in general had personalized avatars. as long as games dont go crazy like r6v's camo schemes i think its great being able to choose what vest's,helmets and other peices of kit that effect gameplay.

[captncrunch240]

definatly buying an xbox to play this

here comes sam...

[Gu^n3r]

just on the downlow PC apparently will wait until the 27th until it gets its release...though im hoping thats something digital distributors dont have to worry about since steam hasent altered its RD for it yet.

[Bigsmokeee]

It looks like Ubisoft has learned a thing or two from EA's free downloadable content incentive plans -- but instead of including club access for new purchasers, the company is offering goodies for free to all comers. Ubisoft sends word that the first, a MP7A1 Machine Pistol, will be available through the game's "Extras" menu starting tomorrow. Other planned bits of content will hit on Thursdays, and include other weapons, skins, and a Deniable Ops map.

cool cool

[Gu^n3r]

cool cool

still waiting for PC version.

[captncrunch240]

i was hopping that they was going to do a ps3 version like was origanle stated but that got changed didnt it

[Gu^n3r]

xbox and pc only.

Promotions prank ends in armed police callout

A marketing stunt to promote a video game sparked an armed police callout after an actor pointed a fake gun at terrified pubgoers in Auckland's Viaduct Basin.

About 20 revellers drinking outside Degree bar dived for cover after the promotions worker threatened them with a black imitation pistol about 8pm on Friday.

Witnesses said they heard someone shout "he's got a gun" and outdoor drinkers dived behind their tables.

Degree manager Steph Kurtovich said: "This guy with bandages on his hands pointed a gun at customers sitting outside. They were pretty terrified."

The stunt, to promote the release of Xbox title Splinter Cell Evolution :rolleyessmileyanim: was condemned by police.

Senior Sergeant Ben Offner said officers could not tell the gun was made of plastic until they had taken it from the actor.

"We consider these types of stunts to be very ill-advised and have real concerns a similar one may one day end in tragedy."

Game promoters Monaco Corporation said they hired another marketing company to organise the event and had no idea that a gun would be used.

"This was by no means an attempt to get cops down there and get this sort of exposure.

Article continues below

We do apologise, we shouldn't have had guns down there," said Duane Mutu, Monaco's marketing manager. "It was just marketing gone wrong."

Police said two men were cautioned at the scene.

ROFL.

[Gu^n3r]

haha what an idiot.

[icehollowpoint]

Well, I've hired it out on 360 and played it now. I will say this: The controls are very, very slick, and the presentation is smooth.

Fun for sure, coop is probably even better, but it's just not Splinter Cell for me. BRB going to cry myself to sleep while replaying SC1 on xbox.

[sabre19]

This looks really good, I own and love all the Splinter Cell's upto Chaos Theory, but then i wasnt so sure about the the story change, but they do still look good, might have to get this one.

[Gu^n3r]

now available on Steam for pre order

[BL4CK1E]

Very Very Very Fun game :D

[Rhodesy_77]

indeed, been playing it for the last 7 or so hours (within the last 28 hours lol) and still working on the sp part of the game :) and loving all of it so far, very engaging and a terrific story line (IMHO)

I would have thought the more action to the game would ruin the game play but it actually just added a whole new element and you can still be sneaky sneaky. :D

Btw Whats everyones UBI Username so we can get some people on friends list for co-op and try out some of the multi player game types

[Ballistic]

Just finished it. Pretty good story, just too damn short, WAY too short. Sort of a mix between Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer, was actually not too bad, but it isn't Splinter Cell of the past. I don't get Ubisofts retarded dumbing down of every good Tom Clancy title in the last few years, but I can only see it getting worse and worse. They really love that lowest common denominator.

I wasn't too keen on the original elements of the SC series being removed. This is a far more action oriented romp. It takes very little thinking to complete the missions in this game. Just go for head shots and stay in the dark, get some hand to hand take downs for the uber aimbot and if you get shot too much go and hide for the health regen to kick in.

It's essentially a "stealthy" action game stuck on top of Gears of War. As a matter of fact, there is very little stealth to this game (SP story anyway), it just feels tacked on and comes in as second place to the action side of the story.

I'd give it an overall of 7/10 (SP only). Graphics are fantastic, really nice artwork. Sound is good and voice work is typical of SC. Michael Ironside is the master. Gameplay... well that's the let down for this game, but like I said it wasn't too bad. Haven't played Deniable Ops or Co-op/MP yet, so half the game is yet to be played really.

DRM... well it was fine until I turned on my torrent program to download some tv shows. After that, every damn second the connection issues message popped up without delay. Real massive pain the arse. Score with DRM taken in to account... 5/10.

Buy it if you like action/stealth-lite.

havent finished SP yet, but god ive been enjoying it, gameplay mechanics, cinematics, voice actors(iron side you sexy machine) and the plot is just awesome.

[Gu^n3r]

Ubisoft servers have always had issues with trying to connect to each other, its a real pain in the ass failure of a port from a console to PC.

we had better luck playing on hamachi, but i might give it a go tonight, just gotta redownload it.
