360 Gamer: Splinter Cell: Conviction Preview

This is a game which will turn the series on its head. Conviction is designed to make stealth a matter of setting up diversions and dealing with fluid enemies rather than tracking their movements to sneak under their radar. To put it crudely, from what Ubisoft has been willing to show so far, Conviction will take Assassin's Creed's ethos and put it in a modern day setting.

On the run following the events of Double Agent, Conviction catches up with a retired Sam, living out his days quietly in the Mediterranean, but tempted out of hiding to protect his friend Anna Grimsdóttír from a danger unknown. Hooking back up with Third Echelon proves less than rewarding, however, with Sam finding it riddled with red tape and mistrust. Play therefore follows Sam as he goes it alone, giving gamers their first real look in six years of Splinter Cell at what lies beneath his surface.

hope this has 2 player co-op but other then that the game sounds like it's going to be fun.

sonarus5849d ago

Sorry to be so pessimistic but i sincerely doubt it. I would be surprised if multiplayer of any form makes it in

Dr Pepper5849d ago

You know Sonarus, for hating on this game so much, you sure do love to post in the threads. By the way, they said aspects from the single player would be in the multiplayer. Strange they would say that and not include multiplayer. Do your research before you post.

sonarus5849d ago (Edited 5849d ago )

lol well i guess i am surprised then. But yea you are right i hate this game. Not hating just to hate it, just genuinely dislike the direction the SC series is going. Its beginning to feel less and less like a stealth game with every iteration

InMyOpinion5849d ago

I think this game will have 2 player co-op as much as Metal Gear Solid 4 will have it. It isn't suited for either game.

crunchie1015849d ago

I think co-op would be perfect Chaos Theory style, with you and a friend playing two rookies working for Third Echelon, trying to hunt down Sam Fisher.

Double Agent was ok...

I might rent this one before I buy... or they release a demo I'll base it off that. Hopefully multiplayer is better too.

power of Green 5849d ago (Edited 5849d ago )

This game is nothing like Double Agent. Like saying PGR4 is ok when talking about Forza 2.

This has Alone in the Dark-like gameplay where you use environmental objects like chairs etc to brace against doors and stuff and it has the action of the older games.

Saying this is like Assasin's Creed doesn't even do it justice. Its more like an action packed stealth *Alone in the Dark*.

Deadman645849d ago

true but UBI lose my trust with their previous game, it was good but only a rent i felt. I realize that the better Splinter Cell studio is working on this one too so it should be better.

power of Green 5849d ago (Edited 5849d ago )

From the video I seen from *Ubi days* the gameplay is more like THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM with Assasin's Creed-like AI thats more advanced and the humun interactions more indepth. I seen Sam being chashed into a room and Sam grabbed a chair and propped it against the door so the police couldn't get in the room. It has Dead Riseing-like interactions with environmental objects.

This will be a hit amoung adult gamers all over the world.

The physics are far more advanced than 99% of games I'v seen.

pp5849d ago

this games going to be way more fun than this other game i don't want to mention

heyheyhey5849d ago

what Babies Horse Adventure? yeah i guess your right

come on dont be annoying, just say MGS4 if you really have to

Grown Folks Talk5849d ago

Either way, I can't wait for this game. Should have been playing it last month, but the extra time will only make it better I hope. At least let me keep the knife. = }

Breakfast5849d ago

What the hell...? This game came back out of nowhere

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane351835d ago (Edited 1835d ago )

Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead

hiawa231835d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351835d ago (Edited 1835d ago )

@hiawa23 i think R* has plans to remaster MP3 at this point

Z5011835d ago

You couldn't play your copy of NG2 before this announcement?

Bane351835d ago (Edited 1835d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931835d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011834d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

bluebenjamin1835d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz1835d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1835d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1835d ago
Movefasta19931835d ago

facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.

Gaming4Life19811834d ago

Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.

What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.

bluebenjamin1835d ago

Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes

Movefasta19931835d ago

I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable

Z5011834d ago

Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.

You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.

What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.

Gaming4Life19811834d ago

I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.

Hungryalpaca1834d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1834d ago

No Mario Kart is the best racer ever almost anyone can play

timotim1835d ago (Edited 1835d ago )

Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏

Keep it coming Xbox!

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2018 any good?

Neil writes: "Every single month we hear the same old thing about the Xbox Games With Gold titles. "We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2124d ago

Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.

ApexWolf222124d ago

Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.

AG1002124d ago

at least you can play the 360 games on xb1 too lol

Goldby2124d ago

Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely

yomfweeee2124d ago

I though Plus was lackluster this month. Gold is way worse.

BQ322124d ago

Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.

annoyedgamer2124d ago

No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

lxeasy2124d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."

Vectrexer2264d ago

C-H-E-F2264d ago

"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"
