Splinter Cell: Conviction PS3 dated?

The previously 360 and PC-only Splinter Cell Conviction is now also set for a simultaneous release on PS3, according major UK retailer GAME.

The site also pens the game to release on all three formats on April 1, despite previous announcements only stating a vague early 2008 release.

No it's not!

First off, it's a video game system!

Second, I could careless if this game is multi-plat. I will be picking it up for the 360 anyway. So what do I care!

And finally it will not be released on all 3 at the same time!

April Fools!

[MJY2K]

Yes I agree it's not...

well not on that date anyway, games in the UK are released on a Friday, 1st of April isn't a Friday so maybe the 4th? Or some complete different date.

[heroman711]

its funny cause i remember ps3 exclusives going multi platform before in 07 and 360 gamers laughing. well it seems the shoe is on the other foot ( and yes i did say the shoe is on the other foot ). i guess developers are starting to realize multiplatform games is a good thing

----------------------

LOL. I love it when what people type gives a completely different impression to the intended message. Objectively read, yes, you do sound scared!!

[solidt12]

why not

[godofthunder10]

i have a 360 and i love it and had 1 since launch and i never had 1 problem with it.i hate sony and i never will own a ps3 but it's a good system and just like the 360 it will be around a long time.
the reason i wrote the first paragraph was to show that i'm not bias like %90 of people that own a system and act like kids.
the last time that they said the same thing about mgs4 all the ps3 fans said that it wasn't true and i knew that it wasn't true because sony already admitted that it was a ps3 exclusive.
now they are saying the same thing about a 360 exclusive that was already admitted by microsoft was an exclusive and now ps3 fans are saying that it's true,well they better make up their minds instead of being bias because it's childish.
i don't understand how ps3 and 360 fanboys thinks(maybe it's because they act like kids)because when it's something that good for the ps3 but it's bad for the 360, ps3 fans say it's true but when the same thing is said about the 360 that's good and bad for the ps3,ps3 fans say it's a lie and i think that it's just childish and stupid the way they act and the same thing for the 360 fansboys.
fanboys from both side might not like it but both systems will be around as long as people want to play games but as far as the ps having over %50 of the market is gone because nitendo and microsoft is finaly giving the ps a race and i don't like the wii but they were smart and the only one out of the 3 that really had something new to give game fans and they proved that graphics isn't everything,hell they proved that graphics isn't the first thing that the majority of game fans look far.
microsoft were smart when they didn't put a br or hd drive in the 360 because they had to keep the 360 cheaper then the ps3 because they knew that they had to compete with sony and that was the only way and it worked.microsoft also knew that games didn't really need br or hd drives for games for at least another 5 to 6 years when they released the 360 and they were right.i know that ps3 fans will say it's not true and we need br drives for games over 2 years ago but they are bias.just think,the 360 been out going on 3 years now and so far out of all the games that came out %99 of them only needed one disc and about %98 that they mention that's coming out in the next 2 years only need one disc,i know that a few games need more then one but the %2 that will that's out and coming out in the next 2 years isn't worth paying another $200 just to put them on 1 disc.so just think in 2 years the 360 would have been out almost 5 years and just like microsoft perdicted the dvd-9 drive was all we needed for games till then and microsoft said that the 360 will last 5 to 6 years(hell about that time the 360 and ps3 will be outdated)and they will release the new xbox and i bet since it look like br won it will have a br drive in it because we will probaly need it for games then.
i think that sony made the biggest mistake that they ever made.if sony would've worried about games instead of trying to use the ps3 to win the format war they probaly would've had the lead when they first came out.sony didn't put the br drive in the ps3 for games,sony forced br drives on the gamers because they figured that since ps always sold a lot that they could get br in homes faster then hd if they but a br drive in the ps3 and it worked because it was the main reason that they won the format war but it hurt them on the ps3 sales.
ps3 fans think that sony own all of the rights to the br drive but they have 100s of investers that own rights in br to,hell just like cds when they first came out,it looked like tishiba owned all the right to cds and they even had a war with sony over the format but cds won and it looked like they owned cds just like sony is with br but now you don't even hear tishiba mentioned in the same sentence as cds because they had 100s on investers just like sony with br and the same thing will happen with br,hell i bet that the majority of people can't even rememberd what company pushed dvds the hardest because dvds had 100s on investers to.

ANYONE HERE HEATH LEDGER DIED YESTERDAY. ANYWAYS I FOR ONE CANT WAIT TO SEE THE UPCOMING FILM "BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN 2: DEAD MOUNTAIN" HAHHAHAHAHA

[ParaDise_LosT]

Will every typo become gaming news now?

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

to go with that WHINE!

did everything bad for the ps3 in 2007 get posted?

@intellegentAJ

yes, they are unconfirmed.

these last few days have made me realize......

The MEDIA has TURNED on 360.

regardless if any of this is true or NOT.

wouldn`t you agree?

Ps. I like you posts aswell.

@skundawhatever.

copyboy?

if you want to blame me, blame me.
but right now, your the one who looks like a b!tch.

now, go TRY to find a negative ps3 story!

good luck!

[IntelligentAj]

Anego. I normally agree with you cause you make sensible posts but he has a good point. These are all unconfirmed rumors but they are dominating the news lately.

EDIT: Yeah good point. Up until November all I could see was bad news being posted about the PS3. The tides certainly have changed though.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Media turns toward POWER!!!

While Microsoft is a big company, their gaming division is nowhere CLOSE to Sony's. SOE, Team Ico, Santa Monica, and all the other Sony devs still have an arsenal to unleash.

Team Ico, Santa Monica, Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Suckerpunch (Infamous looks awesome), and NCSoft will bring it!!!

[Snukadaman]

Im surprised you sony droids dont think microsoft controls the media seeing that they are all powerful and control this hd-dvd format business...but we have been here the past few days and I havent seen this so called turning on the media...whats even funnier is you post news montoya...stop trying too make the news and just post it copyboy.

[Kleptic]

while overall I don't really care...there definitely is a trend that started somewhere around the release of CoD 4, where negative PS3 news needs to be dug from the depths of hell...rather than being everywhere all the time...

there is no arguing that 2007 had a "its cool to hate the PS3" mentality for the most part...games that would marginally underperform their 360 counterpart were immediately written of with a big stamp of "the ps3 sucks" from almost every gaming website...but recently, different development tactics have resulted in more and more titles being deemed as identical, and in some cases slightly better on the PS3...

it definitely has not resulted in "the 360 sucks", its more of a "well finally the PS3 version looks better, but it still doesn't have this this this and this, so the 360 version is better"...which before, would have immediately turned an article into a shotcomings-of-the-PS3 rant...

and this stuff has increased exponentially in the last month...all of a sudden the PS3 outsells the 360 worldwide for the last month of 2007, and is continuing to do so...all of a sudden the gaming media has realized that the PS3 has a vastly superior lineup for 2008 on every single level...all of a sudden the stuff that was once not important (open/free online service, standard USB profiles, non-proprietary accessory compatibility, etc.) is making more headlines...and these little things are all stuff that MS has absolutely no answer to...they are tight lipped on UGC distribution, with no decent looking outcome in sight...they have been removing XBL features for silver members (wait a week now for demos?...how is that moving forward?)...

and the now infamous ongoing public hardware beta is finally reaching critical mass...there is no denying that if the PS3 was what had failure rates of even half that of the 360, that it immediately would have been flopped...

MS is in a position they are used to though...they dabble in market after market, holding on until the competition does what they started better...windows is the only thing MS has that has not been beaten on every single level over and over...XBL is acceptable, despite all its annoyances and nickel-and-diming shortcomings, until something else comes along...offering more for less...which is exactly what is setting up with the PSN...the PSN needs two features implemented to match xbl on a user basis...which is unified in game messaging/invites/joining and music access...yet already has features that xbl doesn't support...such as tons of games with dedicated servers (some of which are third party, Epic/midway has over 30 dedicated to the PS3 for UT3)...a much easier and better way of distributing UGC...

not only that but the PSN has shown what it is likely to become in 2008...XBL has no answer for the services of Home...XBL has only grown in terms of content...PSN has/is growing in feature plus content...

in the end none of this really matters...it is simply humorous to watch fanboys have to put new spins on old sayings just to keep up...as well as see 80% of the gaming media try to get the egg off their face...

2008 will have some great times for both systems...its just nice to see that more and more people are seeing that the PS3 isn't anywhere near as bad as it was originally declared...and, dare I say it, it might be the best console to own starting this year...

[pukka_p]

good post. Not sure everyone will agree, but reasoned and well argued. Bubbles deserved (not that you're short of them)...

[Kleptic]

ha thanks man...

while I agree that not everyone will take a post like as a friendly argument...it is worth noting that I am not looking for the tables to be turned on the 360...

nearly every single post I make is pro-Sony, but I only post in response to someone else ranting ignorantly about "sony'droids" and the PS3 in general...the only thing I find funny is towards those who continuously bashed the PS3 all last year, hailing victory in a battle that had never even really begun...that wasn't just fanboys on this stie, but a very large portion of the general media...

I never cared for the conspiracy issues surrounding 1up and other sites...its just very obvious at times where there preferences stand...2008 will be, if nothing else, hilarious in watching sites and editors alike try to apologize for a year of kicking sand in the face of owners of the "other" console...

[Dmack79]

This game has much more of a chance to come over to the PS3, then MGS4 being ported to the 360.

[jwatt]

It's funny though, last year the 360 was taking the ps3 exclusive now this year the ps3 is taking thiers.

[poos3]

in the same thread ubisoft confirmed it was not coming to the ps3 so what the point of this thread ?

[ravinash]

But they said not confirmed, they didn't say no it isn't.
But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[Jamegohanssj5]

Who cares? This game blows.

[heroman711]

so true dude. mgs4 will blow this game away

[Iron Man 2]

Yawn,who needs this game when we have MGS4?;)

[AngryHippo]

.....the ps3 owners that enjoy the splinter cell series as well. How far up your own arse can you be. Think about it muppet.

[calis]

I wouldn't mind having Splinter Cell - Conviction on PS3. I love the Splinter Cell series.

[MikeGdaGod]

and i've never played a Splinter Cell game, but i wouldn't mind it coming to the ps3 so i can try it out.

it won't replace Metal Gear but it doesn't have to. its just another game that can be played on ps3 and one less reason to own a 360 if it turns out to be a good game.

[Kleptic]

I enjoyed the first splinter cell...

with that said though it quickly felt like one of those need for speed franchises...where the originals were great, and then you keep getting lame sequel after lame sequel (if you could even call it that, ist more like need for speed '05, '06, '07, etc.)...

I have not played any since the first game that really caught my attention...and as of right now, have absolutely zero interest in conviction...

lastly...weren't these the devs that said "blah blah blah, but teh cell can't do AI"...or something moronic like that...

[Statix]

Splinter Cell is a dead franchise. It's been basically steadily going downhill ever since the first game, which was very good. Although Double Agent wasn't bad.

Comparing MGS to Splinter Cell is like comparing a B-movie to a highly anticipated blockbuster with huge production values. Nowadays, there's just no quality comparisons between the two franchises.

[Joey Gladstone]

Oh NO, if this is true, ....how will Xbox360 cope with losing another exclusive, they dont have to many as is........
.....
."The JOEY has Spoken"

[Shadow Man]

"The Moron has spoken"
I don't care if is multi, as long is on 360.

[KS1985]

You don't mind games going multiplatform.

If so, what would have happened if HAZE, Assassin's Creed and Unreal Tornament III stayed PS3 Exclusives?

[Iamback]

Same said Surfer Girl few weeks ago

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Splinter: Wanna be Metal Gear.

[DaCandyman]

Ubisoft wants Splinter Cell to compete with MGS4. And what better way to compete with it than on its home console. some developers are trying go beyond hardware vs. hardware, and get back to software vs software. Like the old arcade days.
Then:
Streetfighter vs. MK
MK vs KI
Now:
Fisher vs. Snake
Croft vs. Drake
COD4 vs. GRAW2 vs. R6V1&2
and so on.

[KDash]

this part of "snake wanna be" is better than the last one-

i love the 1st and Chaos Theory.

but the last one was straight sh!t.

You 333 33 33 33 33333 33 333333 33333333333 33 333333 33333.

[Meus Renaissance]

It's not true. Ubisoft say it can't be done on the PlayStation 3, such as the sophistication of the game. Obviously it would cause the console to explode or just spit the disc out - consequently hitting you either in the groin or between the eyes. So for the safety of all involved, this game will not be released.

And if it is released, it'll be a clash of the titans. Consumers will see Splinter Cell on one side of the shelf. And Metal Gear on the opposite. Which to choose..which indeed..Hmm..

Am I being sarcastic? An I indeed..Hmm

[InYourMom]

of course you are being sarcastic.

[ukilnme]

Exclusive or not, I can buy both.

[Vertius]

Meus is more level-headed than most of us around here, hence the ten bubbles.

[games4fun]

not only that people will in droves claim how innovative and classic splinter cell is above mgs4 and its franchise people will buy millions of copies of splinter cell wich we all know sells better than mgs4 the ammount of people who spent all these years saying how splinter will be multiplatform will finally get their game

thanks mues for the laugh it was actually pretty good writing there
clash of the titans was a great touch it made me laugh imagining them side by side it would a no brainer for millions of people

[Meus Renaissance]

YourMom@

It's funny how you have something against the concept of fanboys yet you're probably the most obvious one a person can meet. How does that work?

And you consider me a fanboy? And I care what you think of me because?

I was actually making fun of Ubisoft with their nonsense about how certain games are not possible on the platform.

[IntelligentAj]

Yeah you can see Meus favors the PS3 over the 360 but everyone on this site has a system that they favor. Anybody who says otherwise isn't realistic. Some people who have a bias of one console make sensible statements about said console, while others simply bash the competing console and deny any good news(First Knight, Genuine, Tanod/Shmee/Mr.PS3, Harriet Tubman, etc.. heres looking at you). It's easy to see who fits on which end of this spectrum by looking at people's comments.

[gano]

Lol

[deeznuts]

I only have a PS3, and I still don't really care too much about this game. Does it have any room behind Vegas 2 and MGS4?

Very Good news, if true, for PS3 only Splinter Cell fans.

[games4fun]

fools day cmon ill take this news with a grain of salt and then i will put it in water and evaporate it to get sodium and that grain of sodium will be taken and cut in half and viewed with a microscope and that molecule ill take as true

[Hugh Hefner]

This is a typo and it happens all the time (Remember when MGS 4 was listed for the 360 in one of these gamestores as well?)

[InYourMom]

Read the article!

"However, Ubisoft UK has told CVG that neither a PS3 version of Conviction, or any proposed release date, have been confirmed by the publisher."

No PS3 version and this is from Ubi themselves. Another Type-o turned into a news story..

Splinter Cell is much more appealing to me than MGS. Sorry droids, I know you want to spam up this thread with your d!ck grabbing game but not everyone is into that stuff.

[The_Engineer]

is that most PS3 fans couldn't care less for Ubiturd's latest MGS wannabe offering. This series had promise up until chaos theory. then it went right down the toilet. 360 can keep this one.

[KillaManiac]

I currently only own a PS3, and if this did come to the PS3 it would be a slap in the face at M$, but I am assumbing they paid out BIG $$$$$ to keep this exclusive (Just as Sony did for MGS!).

MSG > Splinter Cell in EVERY way possible tho...Double Agent = INSANELY terrible...

[Jandre02]

And Splinter Cell: Conviction both multiplatform now?
Does it feel like Microsoft is giving up to anyone else? Honestly, failure rates, losing the format war, letting big studios leave MGS.

I'm sure they have SOMETHING up their sleeves, but what is left now? Next thing you know the PS3 will be cheaper with all XBL features and Gears will be multiplatform

Something is fishy.

[InYourMom]

is the FUD that is reported on this site. You will notice how no-one else but N4G will report this stuff.. Both NG 2 and this game are not going to see the PS3.

[Jandre02]

Without someone else reporting it.
(See story source.)

Lol its not like this is a forum. CVG reported this, n4g.com referenced it.

Before that, eurogamer listed NG2 as multiplatform and no one has denied it.

I think in most cases those rumors are shot down a little faster if its a "typo".

Remember when they said a Xbox360 titles was cancelled? How long did that take? Same for the Frontline PS3 cancelled rumors. Thats all im saying, cry and whine and disagree all you want. But its not n4g posting it, its other sites.

[hotshot127]

its like assasins creed with guns and less exploration.

@who ever disagree`s
I like AC

BUT, please state you name if you think AC is NOT repetitive.

so can ignore you for NOT HAVING A BRAIN.

[DarkSniper]

Dark Sniper believes Splinter Cell:Conviction will see release on PLAYSTATION® 3 primarily due to superior hardware functionality. PS3's port of Splinter Cell will undeniably be viewed as the de-facto port because of Microsoft's inability to produce a console that engraves the trust of gamers with gimped hardware, price gouging and a garbage lineup of games.

$niper

[DaCandyman]

You forgot to mention that UBISOFT is pretty much the only developer that has the best method of porting games from one console to the other. If this report stands XBOX 360 can definitely expect HAZE.

[illizit]

Uhm, Haze is made by free Radical , ubisoft is the publisher

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

its not worth the money and time to release this on PS3. I doubt it will sell more then 1000 units on PS3 competing with MGS4

[SoulReaper]

not like i care i got mgs4..
++++++++++

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Wow I thought this game was multiplatform to begin with. I mean, all Splinter Cell games have been....

[hotshot127]

all splinter cells have been multiplat anyway, all microsoft is interested in is making it a system seller.

but seriously guys, this game looks like garbage. it looks so boring. who really wants to walk around as a refugee and do all that boring crap that they've been showing. but w/e makes people happy i guess

[CNIVEK]

...maybe the millions that enjoyed ASSASSIN'S CREED?? This uses the same engine, and will share many gameplay characteristics with AC, but with a much more advanced physics simulation. Pretty much everything in the environment can be used as a weapon, and/or interacted with.

[solidt12]

All the other ones came to the playstaion 2 & 3 so no surprise to me.

[mullet]

Splinter Cell is the poor man's MGS and I don't want it on my PS3.

[dark loard]

iv got a ps3 and i played all the splinter cell games on the Xbox 1 i found them to be pretty good games hope its true

psn darkloard1981

[smokeymicpot]

The splinter games are cool. Who honestly doesn't like sam fisher he is the man. If this is true that would be cool.

[prowiew]

Splinter Cell is a game with good gameplay with bad presentation.
MGS is a game with good presentation with bad gameplay.

[ThaGeNeCySt]

so what was all that Peter Moore rubbish about "exclusive to the xbox360 and Games for Windows"

[Diugu]

Hope it wont come to PS3... this series is terrible. At least for me. Anyways... it wouldnt hurt, I would just not get it. So... whatever.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Why enemies don't spot you in the dark with 3 huge green lights on your head!

[Bender]

Ha, it should be 3 RED lights.

[ThaGeNeCySt]

The same reason Snake can pull a box out of his back pocket, hide in it, and move to avoid being detected by Genome Solders.

*EXCLAMATION POINT* What's the box.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Touche; but check out the video, Naked Snake explains why he likes going into the box in the first place, hehe funny stuff.

Like father like son eh? =P

[ThaGeNeCySt]

I didn't mean to seem like a fanboy if i came across that way.. I enjoy the metal gear series far more than I enjoy Splinter Cell... just needed a smart retort

[to407]

Maybe you are just taking the mickey out of Sam Fisher's Night vision goggles. But anyway, I will tell you. It is the same technology used by the U.S marine Corps and S.A.S at night. It uses IR illuminators. Night vision devices (NVD) work in the near-infrared band at a wavelength of about 1 micrometer.They also generally come with an infrared light source of their own. Light strikes a metal grid that is charged with high voltage electricity. it causes electrons to fly off and strike a nearby phosphorescent screen, causing a GREEN glow that the wearer can see

Hence, Infrared is used because the wearer of the NVGs will not give himself away to others who are not using night vision technology.

[Ignorant Fanboy]

exactly, but the real reason is to have less clutter on the screen, taking away the meter.

Its like the AC130 mission on COD4, you can see the blinking lights on friendlys, but the enemies cant see them.

Look up any night-time video on youtube, they usually have the lights on, usually, depends on the mission, and chances for friendly fire.

[titntin]

Wow! Every typo IS becoming news! :)

[Meus Renaissance]

I wasn't here involved around the submission of the story so I can't be held responsible for this but I do feel that some people are trying to pull some legs here. These stories will upset people and everyone here who is expecting it to be true doesn't really.

Probably because alot of 360 fans did similar during 2007, in regards to the PS3 and the PlayStation fans had to take it. Now roles are reversed and N4G has become an army camp site for PlayStation fans.

Stating this fact doesn't mean I support it, neither does it mean I do not support it, I'm just saying what's true. There is bias on both sides but it seems that the tide is favouring one side now. You cant do anything about it but just wait for the "right type" of news.

[games4fun]

seem that the M$ fanboys are getting a little bit of their own medicine with these news articles but it probably wouldn't have been posted if they hadn't done the same thing also how many times did mgs4 get debunked but they continue saying it will come

[SoulReaper]

Well the PS3 future looks bright and it will take the crown back..Because of all the Ps3 exclusive games..

Last year the 360 win..but now i dont see it do anythin ...

[jcgamer]

lol...bubbles up...and you might need to snatch bladestar's Mr. Bubbles avatar soon...lol

[captainpwn]

Whoo, too many games this year! And now that Ubisoft realizes that this game belongs on PS3, they're ditching 360 exclusitivity and are starting to PLAY B3YOND.

[jcgamer]

:)

[mighty_douche]

just gonna say the same thing...

we'll probably get a torrent of hate for saying it, oh well, ill go crouch in a shaded corner, thats better than invisible....

[ukilnme]

Buy both if they are good.

[Bleucrunch]

I still love my pandora tomorrow so I will get this game.

[Gaara_724]

ooooooo and i thoght the ps3 couldn't handle the amount of people on the screen i think they have finaly grown up and played heavenly sword

[ukilnme]

Crap, I still can't get past the catapults.

[Trick Nolte]

Paying $399-$599 to play as Sam the hobo. Give me MGS4 aand keep your rumor.

[tatotiburon]

sonyretards are desperate for games, firts EGM with Ninja Gaiden 2, now this....sad very sad

[destroyah]

To be desperate. All the BIG exclusives this year are on PS3. Conviction is just an unwanted bonus. Just like Ninja Gayden 2. 360 owners are the one's being desperate this year. Nothing good on 360 anymore. Everything is multiplat. Microsoft rushed the developers to release all the big games they had in just one year (07). Dumb strategy because now they've been left with nothing. So sad. Have fun having no good games to play this year. 360 is old news.

[HarryEtTubMan]

LOL No you are just mad at how many good games we ALREADY have coming and the PS3 is taking alot of Exclusives from the RRODbox too!

This is true and the Mass Effect Series(EA) and the Bioshock series(2k) will also be coming to the PS3... just like Patcher said... why wouldnt they? There are no buisness agreements. Just Timed Exclusives.

The Truth: Solid Snake and MGS>>>>>>> ;>>>> Sam "wannabe a" Fisher

Snake will PWN Sam so hard.

[Nykamari]

Everything that going multiplat is a typo get real you microwave 3fixme fans! Face it the end is near and you guy had a 1 YEAR lead. Peace (Kaos)Nykamari

[Torch]

Bubble-up as previously promised!

[2 cents]

Common people, it`s Jan, the gaming industry is dead, so don`t expect too many gaming news. Typo or not, it makes you wonder what if?? Nah, the damage to MS will be too big, they`ll never let that happen.

[GITPWNED]

lol. stupid fanboys.

[The_Engineer]

says the fanboy....this place is comedy gold.

[rushbd]

I dont want Splinter Cell. I'll play MGS4 . Conviction is heading towards the way of Assassins Creed.

[THE_JUDGE]

on a website isn't news!!!!! I'll believe it when I see Ubisoft come out and say its going to be on PS3. Stop with the speculation posts already.

[nn]

had any of you checked the Game site?
http://www.game.co.uk/searc...
and you forgot this one?
http://www.computerandvideo...

[Sevir04]

but i'm sure ubisoft seeing the sales of AC on PS3 i'm sure they'll be willing to put some more love on the ps3 with SC:C.... personally though i couldn't give a rats ASS about this game, i've played all the splinter cells on the propper console to play them which is the xbox, and really it's a no brainer for me. this series just doesn't compare with MGS with that being said... i'll take Snake and Meryll and Liquid over Sam and what ever else characters that plays in SC... still it's been quite something

in the first month of 08 Sony has sky rocket to one of the top position, with winning the format war, and what by just a glance stealing xbox exclusives like NG2 and this sopposed SC:C. we'll see though.

[OOG FunK]

and here we go again with mis prints and etc which people will blow out of context.....

Guess what the game isnt even suppose to come in April so what ya gots to say about that???

[RacingX]

If this game does get released on PS3 its because UBI were surprised with Assassins Creed sales on PS3 and just figure they can make some more $$$ with a PS3 version. Double Agent was on PS3, why not. Although it probably won't be released on April 1 on either system as thats usually a placeholder date for a 2nd quarter release. For most publishers April 1 is the start of the fiscal 1st quarter for them. Same would go for Ninja Gaiden II, Tecmo were surprised with Sigmas sales and will let M$ publish NG II, Tecmo will publish it as Sigma II add or subtract a few things and voila....

Sorry this looks like a double post...Sevir you stole some of my thunder :-)

[DJ]

Actually, no one I know is a splinter cell fan. Ubisoft would have to do something really drastic to get me interested in this franchise.

[lesferdinand]

no?

Though it might be that they pulled a little 'Assasins Creed'. It is Ubi after all..

[liquidsnake]

I couldn't care less about this MGS copy. I played the original SC and pandora tomorrow. After that the successors blew more then Pamela on a big c0ck. However if this is true, this only hurts xbox/MS alot more than it will benefit the Ps3, since now we've heard that this game and NG2 will be multiplat, adn it is never good when a console is starting to loose exclusive games.

Below: MAte, first if all I'm a singleplayer guy. Now MGS has a better gameplay couse... 1) It mixes both stealth and some heavy shooting, im SC you have to take yourself from point A to point B and all you can do is to move quietly and toss cans. MGS provides both stealth and shooting as I pointed earlier. 2) Just because you can do more moves in SC it doesn't automatically mean that its a better game 3) The story and the voice acting in MGS is just beyond anything anyone have seen, and anyone who says anything else are blinded by fanboyism/haven't played the games.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Are you saying that Chaos Theory DIDN'T have some of the best multi-player ever created?

Dude, it was AWESOME! It was like your own comedy show!

MGS4 will make this thing suffer though...I agree.

[HCS]

But if it comes out for ps3, watch every single of you reccomend it.

[destroyah]

That is all. Splinter Cell is just a crappy, boring stealth game with no style.

Splinter Cell = Boring gameplay, boring cutscenes, boring dialogue, boring main character.
Metal Gear Solid = Legendary.

Don't embarrass yourself, douche bag.

[mullet]

How many times are you going to edit your post you 3 bubble turd?

The Splinter Cell devs were inspired by MGS you moron. And Double Agent sucked so bad.

[Figboy]

but i guess this would be good news for my fellow Playstation 3 gamers out there.

unlike Metal Gear, Splinter Cell has been rather hit and miss gameplay wise (even thought MGS2 is considered the weakest of the series, the gameplay was a step *UP from the seminal Metal Gear Solid, althought MGS3 was even *BETTER in all areas, from story, to visuals, to gameplay. i have high hopes for MGS4, and every gameplay video i see reinforces that hope).

Chaos Theory is, i think, inarguably the best in the series, from what i've seen, and what i played, and i honestly haven't been following Conviction after playing Double Agent, but who knows. it's not like Sam Fisher is a sh*tty character, he just has spotty luck with his games.

[BlackCountryBob]

Considering the business Ubisoft did with Assassins Creed on PS3 and that Splinter Cell will be using the same engine it does seem like kind of an inevitability especially when you take into account the price of developing games nowadays.

The third party exclusive is a dying breed, even the timed exclusive is becoming increasingly rare because of the cost of advertising the same game twice, and its about time too.

[leonflux]

i thought it was already coming for ps3 >.< shows how good i am keeping up-to-date, i would of been surprised if this didnt come out on ps3 anyway. but heres to no social life this year! :P

[HCS]

whats with the immature name calling on here? ya cant take the heat then shut the hell up.

Beg ya pardon but what is mgs4 finnaly using? a controllable camera and a third person perspective. WHo thought of that????? Ubisoft???? Jeez i wonder.....

[heyheyhey]

you continue to prove how retarded you are......

"MGS was inspired by Splinter Cell"

how did you figure that one out dumbass?, since MGS started way before SC did- unless kojima skipped over to the future to copy some game

oh yeah and you don't see snake as a homeless convict taking his anger out on park rangers- so how the hell is MGS4 inspired by splinter cell

god you talk some much sh!t it's ridiculous- you were the one that said FF10 and 12 were boring and you contradict yourself a lot

please if your going to be a fanboy- at least drop a valid point once in a while

[heyheyhey]

even if this is a typo of some sort, conviction will come to PS3- i always knew this would happen ever since i found about the game being 360 exclusive

why wouldn't it? SC started on the playstation so why would it end on the 360? M$ isn't publishing it, any game 360 can do- ps3 can do as well- so why keep it 360 exclusive?

this is a timed exclusive at most, but personally i don't care either way- SC is dead to me- it went from being a great throat-slitter and fisher looked cool- now it's about some hobo pushing guards around

MGS is my stealth game of choice, it has always been that way- and it will never change (ok fine so there won't be another MGS game, but unless Ubi make SC how it was in the chaos theory days then il jump back on board, but until then- nada for fisher)

[Jack Bauer]

omg retailers are almost always wrong with stuff like this... why? cause they are typos! written by somebody who is not a gamer and doesnt know it is exclusive...

[HCS]

NEWSFLASH Splinter Cell started on Xbox not Playstation.

MGS and Montreal Studios Inspired each other.

MGS inspired Montreal to make SC.

and SC inspired Kojima to change his view to a third person perspective and controllable camera becuz it is much easier to play then a isometric view game like mgs 1,2 and 3.

It's about time too, mgs4 should kick ass. But it's not going to be the game to END THE WORLD despite some of what you fangoofs think.

[heyheyhey]

do you not know how to edit posts?

anyway so SC inspired a different camera perspective, big deal- MGS has a legendary style, and oozes innovation

besides how do you know that Kojima changed the camera view because of SC? hundreds of games use the 3rd person view so Koj probably thought that it's about time he does the same thing

maybe GTA inspired it? maybe Spiderman 3 inspired it? it doesn't have to be splinter cell

MGS is nothing like splinter cell anyway- it's in the some sort of genre (stealth) but thats about it- that's when the comparisons end

[Spike47]

of what happens, I just like seeing the tables turned.

now xbox360 owners know how it feels when they're system is bashed because of some stupid rumor.

Maybe this can serve as a warning so that u guys will pull you're head out of your arses about mgs4.

Thing is nobody cares anyway about splinter cell or ninja gaiden atleast not when compared to mgs4.

[devilhunterx]

April 1 = April Fools' Day

[dork0783]

ARE these people stupid IT'S NOT COMING TO PS3!

[DeZimatoR]

Talk about a 180º turn by the media.

A 'typo' like this would be impossible to happen in 2007...I mean, something actually favouring the PS3? Actually, make that two 'typos'...NG 2 is coming to the PS3 too now?

Honestly, I couldn't care less about these two games, but its seriously hilarious to see the tables turn completly. I mean, the 360 fanboys must really be losing it! xD

Guess its time for the PS3 to steal 360's exclusives. That's 2008 for you, bots, and we're only still in January! :p

[Hades1337]

Spinter Cell has gone through so many image changes since its inception, I hardly recognise it anymore. Though they are good games, the gameplay isnt that special compared to the innovative style of Metal Gear.

[cmrbe]

Don't care about this game as MGS4 is more than enough for me. However by saying that. I hope its true for PS Splinter Cell fans. Whats the big deal with this game anyways?

[gnosis]

Oops, I was trying to search n4g, not comment. I fail.

I was a big fan of the Splinter Call series on the PC, didn't even make it half way into the most recent 360 port though. Too consoly for a PC game and the bugs, the bugs.

I'll have to start looking into conviction, I have completely ignored it up to this point. Cheers!

[zonetrooper5]

Sigh...you people are very dumb and its annoying me. Some of you make me want to come up to you and punch you in the head to knock some sense into you. NG2 is not going to the PS3, MS is the publisher so get over that. Splinter Cell: Conviction is going to be 360/PC time exclusive tbh and I'm getting MGS4 for my PS3 anyways. Oh well, stupid consoles, running on weak hardware unlike the PC. =)

[cmrbe]

PS fans posts the majority agree that NG2 is not coming to PS3. Unlike the majority of x360 fans that refuse to believe MGS4 is exclusive to PS3. As for Splinter Cell. At best its a timed exclusive like Haze will be but i am not holding my breath, don't care anyways.

[gnosis]

I swear ... sorry, please delete.

[power of Green]

Comes out on June 3rd for the 360 only. I just got through talking to one of my pals that works at Gamestop about upcomming games this morning asking about Too Human DMC4 etc. lol

Ninja Gaiden 2 and now this game WoW, looks like the PS3 community isn't as secure as they claim with the PS3's titles.

Just read #17's post as you can see "Jandre02" claiming what he did is malice trying to anger people.

NG2 is published by MSFT and I doubt the devs would have change their minds about their claims that they were not going to release this on PS3 and was going to build it around the 360's hardware hell they claimed the PS3 couldn't even do some of the things in SCC.

MGS4 is comming out for PS3 lol why waste the money.

Expect sh*t loads of hype and attacks and rumors from the simplest typo's and ignorance blown to new levels when in any other case would be ignored. Getting close to game releases and game shows the year is about to get hairy.

[Tsukasah]

It's not us PS3 fans that are making it seem like you're losing exclusives. It's magazines(NG2, for example, and it was a typo), and now a retailer. Most of us PS3 fans don't really care about this game as we have MGS4. It's only the rabid ones who're going "HAHAHAHAHA Z0MGZ J00 L0ZD3D T3H EXCLUZIVEZ! OMGZLOLOZ!" And I think Ubi may want to compete against MGS4 possibly, though I'm sure more PS3 users would get MGS4 than SCC.

[Dacapn]

Uhhhhh...who cares if this game comes out for PS3. I'd rather play MGS4. Isn't this new splinter cell about a bum? So that's your MGS4 killer? A bum? As I've said, I don't care when sub par games come to PS3. GOW>NG...don't need NG2. MGS4>Conviction...don't need conviction. COD4>Halo 3...don't need Halo 3. Ya see the pattern?

[The_Engineer]

I actually spoke to someone at gamestop IN PERSON who asked me if I wanted to reserve Conviction for THE PS3.... I looked at him funny and said you mean the 360. NOOOO he said it's listed right here for PS3.

the look on your dumb xbot face when this comes out on PS3 = priceless.

[HuntTheWumpus]

100 comments. Looks like this game is going to be huge with all the attention a simple typeO has received.

CVG just lost major reputation points with me for this story. I use to really respect that site but I think it's time to remove them from the favorites.

[SuperSaiyan4]

PS3 owners getting desperate for games now are trying to get Xbox 360 exclusives LOL what war you want to win? blu-ray? PS3 games? Huh? Huh? Neither.

[Tsukasah]

What about last year when you guys seemed to act just the same way when we lost exclusives. I thought you guys had the "best gaming lineup in history!" Guess I was wrong. Stop being a hypocrite. Also, why cant we win both wars? Maybe we want to win them both, it's not like "WIN THIS WAR, LOSE THE OTHER!" kinda deal. And notice that most of us PS3 gamers don't really care for this game, other than "HAHA YOU LOST ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE!!!" I believe the PS3 fanboys will be acting exactly the same as 360 fanboys were last year. The tides have turned, there's no denying it.

[vloeistof]

^^^huh why we have enough games this year already

[Bonsai1214]

personally i don't care about this game. it'll probably suffer an identity crisis because its too similar to assassin's creed.

[Tsukasah]

Not so sure I believe this yet. When I hear it straight from a dev's mouth or from other sources I'll believe it. I don't really care. MGS4 is all that matters to me in that genre of games, other than SOCOM. Of course, SOCOM: Confrontation is online-only and not stealth based. Either way the only stealth-based games I like are MGS4 and SOCOM. Any new news on Confrontation?

[mintaro]

if it does manage to go multi-plat than that'll be good for both PS3 and 360 owners, although there'll be a helluva lot of flaming.........but ill reserve judgment until i hear this from another source, dont seem to trust this one for some reason......

[power of Green]

Thats your opinion. MGS4 has silly ass gameplay its fantastic Japanese poop.

The AI looks like robot mice in a maze with the ridiculous over the head oldschool symbols. The AI seems so boring and stupid its just a crazy overhyped silly game, is that robot G@Y? or snake for that matter.

Man that Robo wolf howling maked me angry and the flying robo Chicken with strings makes me laugh.

MGS4 has its cult following but its just plain stupid.

*Splinter Cell=real
*MGS4= fanatics that like Japanese silly sh*t.

Snake and his magic boxes and barrels he can pull out of his magic Zelda pouch is classic.

Splinter Cell= real= challenging= adult..

MGS4=silly=stupid mouse like AI running patterns in the map waiting for you to use silly ass gadgets on them=stupid ass Halo's of symbols for reading the charactors mood etc over their heads=AI so dumb you can be rolling with your magic barrel to run bad guys over!?. MGS4 is painfull to watch.

[Chaos Striker]

I thought the purpose of a game was to 'play' not to 'watch'. Everything you assert is based on what you see, not by what you have played. That being said, making judgments on something that has not been made playable to the community is simply biased and baseless.

[Ri0tSquad]

What did you guys expect POG to say? Hes a hater, hes a child, hes delusional. Hes still whipped by Microsoft's Xbox 360 hence his behavior & emotional attachment to a system which makes him anything but a "gamer". Pretty sad.

[Dacapn]

Who cares if Splinter Cell is more realistic. MGS is simply more fun to play (which is why ya play games). If ya want a real game, go find one without respawns and no continues. You were probably that kid looking for a game about a real italian plumber who actually works on pipes. Besides...conviction is about a bum.

Ima lay down the problem with your pathetic argument. First, you're trying to talk up Conviction to be some kinda game PS3 owners want that can't have. If Metal Gear is a better game, I don't need a bum game. Second, if the game's coming out for PS3, what does it matter to you? Are you not gonna be able to play it on your 360? Go buy Conviction and stfu.

[Bubble Buddy]

They kinda copied Jason Bourne, for those that watch or read the book/movie.

[mighty_douche]

pfft....

[lodossrage]

But in all honesty, Id rather stick with metal gear. Splinter cell was always the "B" version to the metal gear games.

But like I said, I could care less about splinter cell coming to the ps3 since I wouldn't spend my money on the game in the first place

[bootsielon]

I'd call it "The poor man's MGS4"

[lodossrage]

Dude, I was trying to be nice. That's why I said B version rather than "poor man's version"

[FirstknighT]

Sorry Sony but the developer said this game is not possible on the ps3. Advanced AI and physics only possible on the 360!

Stick with your MGS and its laughable AI and physics.

[bootsielon]

360 will never be able to emulate the Cell's capabilities for physics. It's funny that a kids game, Little Big Planet, can't even be emulated on 360. As for the AI claim, I would have believed you had I not played Heavenly Sword with 1000 enemies attacking at once.

Anyway, don't be scared about losing exclusives, my little friend. You're gonna get a better 720 machine next year.

[Ri0tSquad]

If you weren't such a fanboy, I'm pretty sure you would enjoy this game. But yeah, maybe one day you'll get out of that stage and learn MGS4 is just another video game and not your fight or competition but Microsofts.

[andron]

I guess thats why scientists network PS3's running Linux, to do calculations and research and not 360's... or ?

[THAMMER1]

This rumor is so far fetched that it has to be a total practical joke. I feel kind of sorry for any one who endorses this or believes this bull $#!t. This is only going to back fire and make you all look stupid.

[Bill Gates]

AAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHHAHAHAHHA.. ...

That is the FUNNIEST VIDEO of 2000 and 8....AHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAH

What a dumbASS!!....AAHAHAHAHHAA

MY GOSH, I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING!!!.....AHAHAHAHAHHHAH AHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHA

Thanks for the great laugh bro.

[TwissT]

I really do not care about this game from look at alot of conviction gameplay vids it doesn't look that ground breaking at all.

[zonetrooper5]

LOOK WHAT I FOUND OH MY!?

[UltramanJ]

Microsoft is doing a great job of blowing their early lead. Losing their biggest second party partners to other publishers, losing exclusive games, and losing Bungie.
The pecking order of the last gen is returning.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Oh No! If this is true this is terrible news!! Ps3 fans don't want such a crappy game on their system! I mean that was the sentiment a year ago right? People are such blind lemmings on this site.

[Diugu]

You're so right. If this one is anything like the others... I dont want it on my system.

Thank you for defending my cause.

Just joking... I didnt like the series but maybe this one will be good. And as I am pretty sure it wont come to my ps3 I hope my xbox owning friends enjoy it. And maybe.. just maybe I will try to surpass my past experiences with this title and give it a try.

[PS360PCROCKS]

haha I was just trying to point out the change of mind we see everyday on this site. A year ago it was "this game sucks yada yada" and now it's "Haha ps3 this ps3 that" I dunna it's annoying

[PirateThom]

I'm not buying this for 360, so there's no way I'd buy a PS3 port of a 360 game.

Splinter Cell started off as a respectable MGS-rip off and now it's a 24 rip-off with terrible looking gameplay, which is the reason it was delayed in the first place, according to the QA team, it wasn't fun.

[BLuKhaos]

I think SC should stay on the 360,that way I can MGS 4 for my PS3 and SC:C for the 360 when I get one.

[Samer305]

Haha wasnt this game supposedly supposed to rival metal gear solid 4?? Haha funny stuff. Looks like the 360 is the one losing exclusives.

[Foliage]

It probably wouldn't make my list of PS3 games to buy. I've played the other games in the franchise and I don't get the hype surrounding it.

[stuntman_mike]

i heard it was a timed exclusive??

[JBaby343]

I have always liked the Spinter Cell series more than the metal gear series. Although I didn't care much for the last one and this one does not impress me I would still like to try it. Chaos Theory was the best. I want the old ones back.

[Rice]

WTF is happening, a few hours ago my friend was bragging how Conviction was 360 only... HA!

[solidt12]

WOW

[SpikeSpiegel]

I would have to see it to believe it.. One thing if it did though would be the change in forum posts. Instead of "Rumor:Conviction Coming to PS3", we will see "Comparsion Videos: Splinter Cell Conviction PS3 vs. 360 courtesy of Game Trailers!! Now showing PS3 videos in super white RGB HD!!!"

[HeavyweightInTheGame]

This is exactly the same situation we had last year with MGS4 being poted for 360 on HMV's website.

[nice_cuppa]

if i had known it was news as opposed to an obvious typo i would have posted it !

sorry for letting you guys down.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Droids are on the dream fantasy land with these rumors. Guess they realy don't like those games Sony has for them, so they want to dream of Xbot games.

[mistertwoturbo]

actually the general consensus from the "droids" from my observation, is that they really don't care if this game came to PS3 or not. PS3 owners in general just want MGS4, the actual game. Not stupid fanboy debate. They want MGS4 to play MGS4.

I personally don't care about splinter cell the series. It's incredibly boring to me.

MGS's main beef is the storyline, and how it's truely like watching a interactive movie. It's not the most anticipated game for 2008 for nothing. If anything, 360 owners want MGS4 only to say "nyah nyah we get it too" with no regards to the actual game.

So 360 fanboys, keep your precious Splinter Cell game, as it's the only thing you guys will come close to the magical wonders of the Metal Gear series.

[Lord Cheese]

why not someone just check the ubisoft website and stop the dumb fanboy wars?

[InMyOpinion]

Lol! You never learn do you? Trust the retailer...

[chrno6]

No thanks, don't want to be a begger on a street pushing people around...

[TheMART]

APRILS FOOL

This game is 360 exclusive. Sorry Fony Fanboys!

[andron]

But time will tell.

[dalibor]

What metal gear has always lacked was online play. Now that metal gear solid 4 is going to have online play... i could seriously say that mgs4 has everything in one package. A great solid story like the counterparts before & now online is introduced to a new, greater depth unlike before in other mgs games. Heres hoping that the online aspect of mgs4 is going to be fun to play :)

"math is like sex, you + the bed, - the clothes, DIVIDE the legs and hope you don't MULTIPLY"

[giovonni]

Can't honestly think the MGS4 All my Children story lines are solid? Spilinter Cell has always been a better game in the lines of story, and Steath. Not saying that some of it isn't bull, but it's more hands on then M.G. I think thats what sets the two apart.

[Legion]

Look at the rules on N4G on how you get points... if you get a lot of interest then you get more power. So all people do anymore is speculate on a subject that they KNOW will stir the fanboys and they get more points and supposed cred. It is a vicious circle of ill.

And they get their circle jerk friends to approve the story. It is just stupid. Nobody controls this forum and it has gotten out of hand.

[Saint Sony]

Like the developers said by themselves, lighting the game will have /already has can't be done with PS3. They would have to make it totally from the scratch if they do it for PS3. It's a money issue, is it really worth making to PS3?

It is not like it would not run on PS3, of course it would, but the code it now has suits only 360.

Therefore I suspect this news to be bogus.
Maybe it comes later, but not at least this year.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

kinda sketchy but whatever, i guess people will do just about anything to attract attention these days. so many rumors but wheres the truth?

[dalibor]

It sounds like the x-files... the truth is out there. There are so many rumors now its crazy but the truth is now where to be found.

giovonni i see your point bro. I like the story for mgs games just like you like the story for splinter cell games. At least give mgs4 a twirl and see if you like it when it comes out. If another splinter cell game does come out for the ps3 i sure as hell would give it a try unless my cousin gets it for his 360.

"math is like sex, you + the bed, - the clothes, DIVIDE the legs and hope you dont MULTIPLY"

[giovonni]

I am going to give it a try. I just like the spinter cell's way of doing things. breaking into safes, picking locks it's all cool to me. I like MGS games,I just don't like the story line or the recycled characters

[jtorry]

Looks like this isn't true.

http://n4g.com/News-103156....

[Keowrath]

Never actually liked Splinter Cell. A few of my mates bought previous versions and I had a go on them and it was ok but I had already been sold on Metal gear and Splinter Cell always seemed to me as a fairly blah copy that was too "normal". (I'm an anime fan too so the bizarre story and plot twists of Kojimas masterpieces have appealed more than the more realistic Splinter Cell series)

I'm fine with this being an X360 exclusive and I hope those that enjoy the game have a blast. This rumour doesn't affect me as I won't be buying the game even IF it does come to the PS3.

Just like the Ninja Gaiden rumour though, I think it's just a typo. Microsoft would be absolutely insane not to do absolutely EVERYTHING in their power to stop Sony from getting the 360's Biggest action game and Microsofts answer to Metal Gear.

EDIT: Just seen the rumour debunkers for both NG2 and SP:C. DOH! Running a bit behind today =/

[Diugu]

It is true. It is all true.

I just got off the phone with Bill. Mass Effect, Bioshock, Gears of War, Splinter Cell and all the other 360 titles will come to ps3.

He will also marry Sony's president and will move to Japan.

Now someone post this comment as News because this is hot stuff.

[richie007bond]

Your nothing but a scumbag and a low life!!!!!!Do you have no respect.Its fooking assh@les like you that me realise that the world is such a fooked up place..............somebody has lost their life at a young age and all you can do is crack a joke and laugh..

[Trick Nolte]

Utterly shameful this kid is.
