Ubisoft released some ne Comparison Screenshots of Splinter Cell HD that coming to PS3 this Spring.
We've worked out which remaster collections are the best of the best.
I’d love to see a Ghost Recon/SOCOM/Rainbow Six collection as well, all great military franchises
(Editor’s note: From Metal Gear Solid to Tenchu, everyone’s got at least one videogame tune stuck in their heads. Enter Liner Notes: a Pixelitis feature in which our writers discuss their favorite videogame soundtracks.)
"Forget that Sam Fisher had ever turned into a disgruntled ex-agent with nothing to lose. Before all that, the wise-cracking stealth operative snuck his way into one of 2005′s greatest games, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.
Ubisoft Montreal tapped Brazilian electronica maestro Amon Tobin to craft the music for the third entry in the stealth action series. You could tell that the company was proud of the soundtrack, given that the album was released two months before the game was even out."

To this day I still find myself humming the tune from the cargo ship level, great game and great soundtrack :)
The ambient/subtle music was (and still it) always nice to listen to in the first 3 games. Perfect for setting the stealthy mood, while not overpowering the other aspects of the game (unless you got caught, then that music blared adding nicely to the chaos).
Im not a big SC fan but I own the game because of the soundtrack. I was into electronic music at the time & buying Tobin albums. Never finished the game. Maybe I should have just bought the OST. I just get impatient with sneaky deaky games in general.
An online retailer is currently offering big discounts for Prince of Persia Trilogy HD, The Tomb Raider Trilogy and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Classic Trilogy HD on the Playstation 3.
I just played Chaos Theory HD. It was a good buy for 9 bucks and is clearly the best game in the series. I really hope the new game gets back to its roots.
Sadly, it will not. I wish it would be like PT or CT but it will be like ConViction. However, I think they will add a tiny bit more stealth, but if they leave Mark and execute, black and white, x ray goggles, no dragging and hiding bodies, then count me out!
I could not believe you couldnt drag bodies. I mean, WTF? If you wanted to move them you had to take them hostage and then drag them away before killing them. Serious design flaw for a stealth game.
And who wants to spend 90% of a game in black and white? I nice dark moonlight blue would have been better, or better yet, just leave the light and sound meter from the previous games. They were a much better system.
They said that the new Splinter Cell will "explore old themes of SC, yet still focus on action." My expectations are very low, but I hope that they wow me and make a game comparable to CT. It's funny, they made the game like that to appeal to a wider audience...and it failed to sell as much as SC 1 which sold several million and ConViction almost sold 2 million. It's funny because the old version of ConViction was scrapped and developing the game in a 5 year span must have been costly, especially getting rid of the first version of ConViction.
If they would have kept the game similar to the old ones, development costs would have been cheaper and it would have sold more.
Splinter Cell HD is actually cheaper at Newegg...
http://www.newegg.com/Produ...
Only $15.99 and unlike Amazon, you get free shipping without having to spend over $25.
I was just going to add that, ordered it as soon as I got the email from newegg this morning. Awesome deal.
I was so pissed when I was only 40 cents short from getting it back when it was $20 on the PSN store if you had PS+
I would advise anyone against getting the Splinter Cell and Prince Of Persia Trilogys until UBI can be arsed to fix them (which seems extremely unlikely)
looks really good... defiantly picking it up.
SOLD
wow. what a difference
Wow, now THIS is what an HD remake is all about. Rebuilt right from the ground up. Well, at least all new high resolution textures throughout the whole game and updated lighting techniques. This is not the half-assed lazy direct port (basically) of RE4 that Capcom is trying to pass off as a HD remake where they have to make the PS2 screens look like crap to make the pseudo-HD version look good.
Well done Ubisoft, for actually putting in some effort (and they obviously put in quite alot) on your HD remake and providing a reason to purchase, instead of taking the lazy, money-grabbing Capcon way out. Kudos!!!
Actually looks really good compared to other HD remakes.
