Splinter Cell "is meant for Xbox and it will show"

CVG: "There's going to be a really strong partnership with Microsoft," producer, Alexandre Parizeau told CVG. "Obviously we'll do everything that we can do to make sure that the experience is indebted with whatever the Xbox has to offer.

"I want to make sure that when the game hits the shelves the disc will 'meld' with your Xbox 360 - it's meant for the Xbox 360 and it will show."

[GWAVE]

I'm eager to see what they do with it.

[gaffyh]

'it's meant for the Xbox 360 and it will show.'

I'm guessing they have an Xbox 360 console in the game, similar to how MGS4 had several references to Playstation and Apple.

[SpoonyRedMage]

Yer but that doesn't mean much. Mass Effect was designed for the 360 and run like crap(despite otherwise being awesome) but the PC version runs like a dream.

I really can't wait for Conviction though! Splinter Cell rocks!

[Greywulf]

So im guessing Rocksteady could say the same. Or Epic..?

[ShabzS]

they are using unreal 2.5 ... its heavily modded though.... they call it the lead engine.. its the same engine from chaos theory from the original xbox now updated for the 360..

but so far the previews have been good... loved the knife through the hand game play

[deadreckoning666]

I guess there serious about it being a "true" 360 exclusive. I don't think they'd make themselves look stupid and announce it for PS3 later, oh well. I wanna play it but I ain't buyin a 360 just ta do so.

[Chubear]

PR Babble

[Shadow Flare]

"the disc will meld with your xbox 360"

..................that's almost like something i'd write......

[mastiffchild]

Exactly Nycredude! This is the game that has had the advabtages of the kind of time and money spent on development that some PS3 exclusives have had. Gears2 should have been the game that challenged the graphics of the likes of KZ2 but for whatever reason Epic or MS seemed to want it rushed to market-which is why I felt it was neither the graphical leap from the first game nor had an issue free MP.

I never doubted that it wouldt stay 360 exclusive as from all the noises they've made, from canning the first effort to this, it seems like MS have pushed Ubi on this one and that's a great thing-I'd have liked it this year, mind, but if they can polish it up some more and make the best looking 360 game yet it's good for all gamers as it'll force devs on both platforms to keep upping the ante. I just wish more 360 exclusives got this chance to shine-looks excellent already and the extra time could see it even prettier.

This is the way, as Sony have proved this generation, to let your devs make an exclusive.

[Greywulf]

I cant even come up with anything that wont get my comment deleted.. so ill just

:)

Edit:

Ok figured it out. Microsoft/Developers problem is that they have the 360's hardware. Which isn't remarkable when compared to others. Its clear that the best efforts in 4 years haven't come up with a title that can compete with others technical wise. -- Ok follow me here --

The 360 doesn't need to compete with others visually. Sales speak, and the user base doesn't require visuals to enjoy games(HaloODST) or even innovation in that realm.

But there is some perverted notion that all MS's developers have to pretend that their games can compete in the visual realm, which they cant. Time and time again its shown that it isn't happening. Instead of promoting just plain strong gameplay without being combined with the next-gen bar of visuals offered other places, they insist that the console can also provide that facet of gameplay to the user base.

We've all heard the same thing from every single exclusive, then they show up and everyone goes "..." and then spouts out how gameplay is more important than graphics, which it is.. but no one makes the observation that gameplay + graphics is enjoyed elsewhere.

The 360 has XBL, and better versions of multiplats. Anyone is a fool to argue that. But its not capable of besting the efforts of other titles when the topic is visuals.

[locos85]

So should I take that as a positive comment?

[Insomnia_84]

I noticed the graphics in this trailer look a bit downgraded compared to those of the E3 gameplay. As long as the gameplay stays the same, no problem.

[DelbertGrady]

Why do guys always have to whine so much when a dev says something good about the 360 or a 360 related game?

When Naughty Dog says similar things you never question them or accuse them of taking bribes. Even when they contradicted themselves by saying Uncharted 3 will push the PS3 further (after saying Uncharted 2 maxed it out) you just agreed with them like the corporate sheep you are.

[pixelsword]

...this will also kill the 4chan thread that some rumor monger posted that stated that he was some ex-worker at UbiSoft and that the game was a timed exclusive (yah, I know it's 4chan, but you know how rumors on the internet spread). If this is as great as the demos I've seen from gaming expos then it should cause some momentum for the 360.

I like this because when developers like Ubisoft and Sucker Punch and others actually put some TLC in their development it makes everyone in the industry step up their game, which in the end the gamers win from the overflow of great games.

[SevWolf]

Just to say something which may sound obvious and logical, but here goes.....I really wish people would just play games and not care what console...what I mean is when I was a ps3-only owner I used to play a game(like uncharted) and think "Wow, this is one of the greatest exclusives ever", now I love uncharted close to my favorite game, but I realized something wrong with my thinking :P, I bought a 360 a couple of months ago, still getting used to it :D, when I played the Gears games(my first two games on the 360) I thought "Wow, this game is good, but I expected better for a 360 exclusive", I got Mass Effect a couple of days ago, and Im loving it, playing it nonstop, I'm thinking "THIS IS AN AMAZING GAME!" I totally forgot what console Im playing....I know that I'm gonna do the same thing with Splinter Cell, I'm gonna love the game no matter what console it's on, and even though it only runs on Unreal Engine 2.5, and it wont win any graphics awards, it looks great, and the gameplay is looking amazing.........sorry for the rant :P, I just tend to get pissed when Devs HAVE to verify what console they're developing on cause "gamers" can't believe it

[Greywulf]

No one needs to question their statements because they don't talk nonsense without showing anything.

[coolirisGB]

Looks like some fanboys actually thought this was coming to PS3. They were being more honest about the game back then, attacking the game now are we?

[TheBlackSmoke]

I dont get why they cant just say MS paid us for exclusivity instead of giving undefinable reasons like "meld with your xbox 360".

[Jake1111]

The disc will MELT in your xbox? ? ? I knew my machine ran way too hot.....

[thesummerofgeorge]

I love that after the years of ridiculous PS3 and Sony bashing and carving the PS3 for not having the games, and making fun of what Sony and it's developers say, people like yourself "whine" about how the poor 360 and it's poor titles get criticized. The PS3 is now cleafrly coming out with superior games, it's clearly a higher tech machine, and now that there's clear proof and it's Microsofts turn to take some heat, 360 fans panties get in a bunch... Get over it.

[Raf1k1]

is this no longer on PC as well?

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

i wonder what's with the 360 exclusive reassurance it's not like there were rumors about it being on PS3 it's like there purposely doing this like there actually making a PS3 version but wants ppl to think it ain't happening . guys at Ubi either say it's exclusive once and when there a PS3 version rumors but not willy nilly it makes us suspension about a PS3 version

[Bodyboarder_VGamer]

Fanboys man, fanboys... Right now the PS3 has games, the X360 has games and even the Wii has games that some people will find interesting. You just can't go wrong when buying any of the 3... If they can't accept that other consoles have great games too then what can we do? We'll just have to live with it.

It is not that bad. You just need to learn to ignore them, that's all.

[evrfighter]

Probably means it's gonna be heavy on the anti-aliasing. PS3 has shown that it doesn't handle AA well.

[FACTUAL evidence]

aaah, oh well....we all know game of the year 2010 is going to be a ps3 exclusive anyway lmao!

[TK421]

The game looks alright. It looks about on the level of a decent multiplatform game to be honest.

[King_many_layers]

"When Naughty Dog says similar things you never question them or accuse them of taking bribes. Even when they contradicted themselves by saying Uncharted 3 will push the PS3 further (after saying Uncharted 2 maxed it out) you just agreed with them like the corporate sheep you are."

They say they've maxed it out because they most likely have everything working hard most of the time the game is on. So technically they will have maxed out the PS3 in terms of with their engine at this moment, so when a developer says this, you can believe them, but you just need to remember they are talking in terms of their game engine has pushed it this far.

anybody could push the PS3 to its limits, but if the coding gets better, the results will look or run better.

[prowiew]

Cant wait for this game!

[thorstein]

What the hell does that mean? There is 0 substance in that statement. Tell me what to expect when I get the game. Tout the gfx the gameplay whatever, but don't give me an empty statement that means nada.

[Biggunz]

I didn't know a disk could RROD.

[James Bond]

They probably got a crayon and drew a red ring on the disc.

[nycredude]

So this should be like one of the best game on the 360 in terms of total package then right? Maybe finally we can see what the 360 is capable of. Should be interesting.

[El Botto]

Why does xbots suck so much? Is it because:

A) They play a 54.2% heater
B) They are beta gamers
C) They got suckered into buying a HD DVD add on and now cant buy any new movies on HD DVD format
D) They dont have any exclusive games to play with
E) They have to pay-to-play online
F) They get whored and abused around by MS (ie HDMI not needed, digital downloads lies etc.)
G) All of the above

[Aquarius]

G

[TheXgamerLive]

You and other losers like you prove it every Fckin time, so pathetic.

Any and every time there's an Xbox article or peice of news who's the first to comment and try to put it down? .... A sad little sony fan like you.

I know your scared and jealous and so what, give it a rest little girl, sony has games, Xbox has games, STFU!! Damn your all little BTCHES. You give the good sony fans a bad name, cool it already b/c it's getting old.

[xcox]

he means "the disc will melt in your 360"

rofl

[TheBlackSmoke]

Ubisoft are sort of shooting themselves in the foot by declaring this. If this game is tailored for the 360 then it will show the 360s true potential... if it cant match the likes of KZ2 or UC2, you bots need to STFU about superior graphics from now on.

[AngryTypingGuy]

What predictable losers you are. This game is going to be awesome.

[bennyace]

You're absolutely right. PS3 fanboys are always the first to comment and with the same jokes they've been saying for 6 months.(54.2%, burn your house down, RROD well this one they've been saying for 2-3 years, etc...) and then all the other fanboys, that don't seem to have better things to do, all click the agree button. Like a bunch of 12 years old. When you look at the PS3 articles, there are about 50-60 comments and when it s a 360 articles it s like 200 comments!!! but we're the ones doing the damage controle. go figure!

Not only that, when you read their comments they talk like they all have full hd giant screens or super computers that can run the game with all the graphic options to the max. But none of them seem know that most full hd screens don't even keep a full hd resolution when the action on screen is too fast. It usually drops to about 800-900 lines and that's with the higher end models. the ones over $2000. But when a ''AAA'' game comes out that costs $60 they don't seem to have any money to buy it. Because the games don't sell. But they have the money for the full hd screen or the super computer.

[Biggunz]

Sorry kid, you're wrong. Sony has better games and much better hardware and thats a fact!

[-MD-]

That's what we call a worthless bad opinion.

[ZipSpeed]

Of Course. When bad graphics and average story shows up in ratings, you know it's meant for the crapbox 180

[AngryTypingGuy]

@ Bennyace - you're exactly right. We're dealing with little kids here, most of them. You can just tell by their comments.

Everyone was upset when they delayed Splinter Cell, but I wasn't, because I knew that Ubisoft would come out with something kickass like always. Go check out the new trailer and photos on Gamersyde.com. This game looks amazing and looks like a possible GOTY candidate.

Graphically, you can put this up against Uncharted 2. Now before you PS3 fanboys have an aneurysm, I will say that Uncharted 2 looks prettier because it has those jungle levels with the incredible background. Don't worry. Breathe into a paper bag if you need to, it's ok. But go to Gamersyde.com and take a close looks at the scenery texture and the character models.

I'm not saying that Splinter Cell looks better, but certainly comparable.

[El Botto]

360 is more powerfull than the PS3.

Lmao dumb fkers. After 5 years, still no Splinter Cell Convinction. And why is that, you ask? The game sucked so hard, they had to scratch everything they had and go back to the drawing tables.

Thats why.

[AngryTypingGuy]

"After 5 years, still no Splinter Cell Convinction. And why is that, you ask? The game sucked so hard, they had to scratch everything they had and go back to the drawing tables.

Thats why." --

I'm proud of you El Tardo. For the first time in your life, you said something that's partially correct. Go into the kitchen and tell your mommy that you deserve a chocolate chip cookie. The game did in fact not live up to Ubisoft's standards, so instead of releasing a hunk of crap like they could have done, they went back to the drawing board and got it right. Kudos to them for doing right by all of the Splinter Cell fans out there. Well, at least the ones who own an Xbox 360 :-).

[KILLERAPP]

This game will come to the PS3, within a year. Ubi can't deny that the PS3 is selling like hotcakes now that is 299 and they know in order to make the money for that 3 development they have to make this game for the PS3, in the end is all about the money.

shadowwizard:
Didn't they say the same about all those games that now come to the PS3 with more content what makes this game so different from all the other games that are so call exclusive.

Pootangpie:

Like i said is all about the money, like Chubear said tell me what splinter cell have ever been exclusive to any platform? Besides do they hope to make money off this for there 3 years development cycle only be selling it on the 360 and one more important note they could be alienating splinter fans by doing something different and they might not buy it, so this game has a very high chance of coming to the PSE and PC even the wii.

[shadowwizard]

O rly?

[Chubear]

.. yes really. How many Splinter Cell games do you know are exclusive to one platform?

[Pootangpie]

and besides ubisoft won't stoop as low to allow anime loving ***get worshippers to talk about it with imaginary charcters in anime land then ***** and throw hissyfits later and btw since you do fall into that catagory killer app you are not allowed to have that icon

[whothedog]

Yeah I think the chances of this going to the PS3 are pretty good, as a timed exclusive if anything.

ME2 anyone? :) anyone read segas note?

[beans]

I'm not going to doubt this game is going to ps3 one day because it really is about the deniro. As much as it would be nice if this were exclusive I could care less just so long as I got the chance to play this game built from the ground up for 360. Really i could careless who plays it as long as the dev don't give the ps3 version only extra goodies over it's already established fanbase.

[mastiffchild]

I don't think SC:C will go to PS3 myself but devs don't give the PS3 versions of former 360 exclusives extras because they like the gamers! Without an extra incentive why would/should PS3 gamers go for a game that a year old?

In the lapsed timed exclusive scenario they NEED the extras and always will-leaving it as it is just won't cut it and devs know this now. It's annoying, I agree , but put yourself in the other camp for a minute-would you then think waiting an extra year for the same game was a fair thing? It's the timed exclusive itself that causes this issue and til they stop being so prevalent this will just go on and on I'm afraid.

[StanLee]

Totally agree with you Mastiffchild. The problem is, what's added is never enough to warrant multiplatform owners, of which this generation has many, purchasing the game a second time and a year later, the PS3 usually has great new titles being released so why purchase a year old game for just as much. Why buy Bioshock when LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift and Resistance 2 are being released in weeks time? Why purchase Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 when Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank are being released in the same month? The majority just wont do and haven't as shown by poor sales of timed releases. I don't know if these ports even recoup the cost of development and marketing. Timed exclusives are just ridiculous. If you're going to release a game on both console do it day and date on BOTH consoles so fans can embrace a title without this negativity and speculation.

[Odin777]

Ha ha Pootangpie what the f*ck are you talking about?

[Raider69]

Indeed just like MGS4 went from the PS3 to the 360 right.

I have just remainde my self that it never happen that!Just like S.C Conviction will never jump the other way!If you dont have the option of playing on the 360 you can always play on PC!If you are one of does PS3 fanboys you certainly can start playing SPLINTER CELL CONVICTION right now,in your dreams!

[Shadowstar]

@deadlybrand: except that MGS has previously been an actual exclusive, while SC has always been ported everywhere. MGS2 made it to the 360, but MGS3 stayed exclusive, so it was reasonable to believe that MGS4 would end up staying exclusive. Kojima doesn't tend to lie-- misdirect, absolutely, but not lie. The last Splinter Cell "wasn't coming to PS3" so I bought it for PS2... and then it came out. I don't trust Ubisoft when they say exclusive. I'll be waiting for the PS3 port this time.

[The_Nameless_One]

I wonder how much cash MS crammed down Ubisoft's throat until they had no other choice but to say the word exclusive.

[KILLERAPP]

Splinter cell has always been time exclusive on the xbox first and then revise on the PS2 or PS3 latter, this time around is no different.

[otherZinc]

when they stole FF from Nintendo years ago & kept going with Resident Evil, Tomb Raider & Madden. Now the tables have turned & you people that dont know the history claim M$ started this ****!, they didnt, SONY did & dont you forget it!

Now that others can play the SONY buying game you *****, please, its business.

Also, Splinter Cell:Conviction will sell like crazy on the 360 because it will be high quality, just like the other 360 games that sell in the millions.

[Kushan]

It's not always about cash you know. When you do an exclusive deal with anyone, you get preferential treatment. Most likely, Ubisoft has had MS engineers flown over to work directly with them on several occasions. Microsoft will be marketing SC:C heavily without costing Ubisoft a penny and so on.

[whothedog]

Is there any info on multiplayer yet?

I thought the spy's vs mercs was kickass in one of the older splinter cells.

[SuperM]

Must be frustrating for the developer then that 360 really doesnt offer anything the PS3 doesnt. If it was PS3 exclusive they could at the very least utilize the harddrive and the bluray. I wonder what kind of magical device inside the 360 they intend to take advantage off.

Sounds more like they are making a shooting gallery that will fit perfectly with the rest of the 360 library.

[KILLERAPP]

This is actually good, since some fan boys say that the 360 doest have games that look as good as the PS3 exclusives since MS does have a first party and Sony does and they push the PS3 since is there only platform, may Splinter cell show us what the 360 can do, and the when it comes out on the PS3 may the PS3 show that it can handle it and it can have more content that the 360 version, why do people expect any different from MS they don’t buy exclusives they buy time exclusives, just look up there history with splinter cell and you will see the light.

[Ju]

I'm just curious what they are gonna say, when they'll realize that the final game looks like RB6 (at least that's how the gameplay videos look like to me, not the brushed up CGIs).

[CreepyB]

i am looking forward to playing the superior pc version.

[Narutone66]

and the xbox 360 fans are going to beta test this game for bugs when this game comes out. Just wait for the complete game to come out later on. ;P

[KingKionic]

Must be talking about it being a xbox 360 exclusive .

[MetalGearBear]

MGS4> Splinter Cell

[onevictor]

No.

[CreepyB]

yes.

[patterson]

YES

[evilmonkey501]

yes

[TheOutsider]

YES!! OH HELL YES!! METAL GEAR EATS THIS HOMELESS LOOKING FOOL FOR DINNER!!

[chak_]

delayed on PC then?

[mastiffchild]

I'd imagine so. Think yourself fortunate if it even comes out on PC my friend as, imo, there's a trend at MS for stopping 360 exclusives going that way these days. It started with Gears2 and Fable2 and I don't want to bet the house on AW coming to PC anymore.

I actually doubt Ubi will leave the PC out of it but do expect more and more 360 exclusives to miss the PC out.

[ShabzS]

well this is being published by ubi and not ms game studios unlike fable 2 gears 2 and alan wake ... so i'd expect it to release on pc day and date of the 360...

[ReviewsArePolitics]

So it'll have online play? That's the only potential strength I see in 360 and even then it fails to have many players online at the same time.

[36T]

LOL.. wow you are such a loser. Why so frustrated all the time? Not happy with your sh1tty gaming experience on the PS3rd?

The 360 fails to have many players online at the same time? Tell me you are joking? Go check out how many players are playing Killzone 2 and compare it with Halo 3 (2007) and come back to me. This douchebag has no idea what the hell he's talking about, like most PS3 fans.

Honestly, i must say, there's nothing better then watching PS3 fanboys go ape sh1t over 360 games. Games they supposably don't care about. It's just too funny!

You're all fake ass mutha fvckers that don't buy games.

buuu buuu buuu imma play it on PC!! have fun with that! lol

[talltony]

"The 360 fails to have many players online at the same time? Tell me you are joking? Go check out how many players are playing Killzone 2 and compare it with Halo 3 (2007) and come back to me. This douchebag has no idea what the hell he's talking about, like most PS3 fans."

Lmao I think he means the amount of players ingame at once and not in the entire game universe. lol ur funny.

[36T]

LOL! thanks.. i know i am. It's friday and i'm tired. I had a feeling i was in the wrong but i just didn't give a fvck :P

I had to slip in Killzone 2 somewhere. lol

it's all about reactions t-tony ;)
i did fvck up though. I'll take a ban for that. lol

[BYE]

How? By the short playtime due to DVD?

[LukaX23]

Why? Because the story is so short and can't fit on one DVD? ;-) Stupid PR.

[Double Toasted]

meaning "timed" doesn't exist on this one...

[ShabzS]

hmm i dont know ... third party publishers arent exactly reliable these days ... once a contract expires anything is possible ... but as long as this game is coming to 360 its all good..

[Double Toasted]

Its possible that its timed, but I'm willing to bet that it won't see the PS3 before the new Xbox comes. I'm going to see if someone I know will take me up on that bet. Anyway, seeing as though it is a 360 exclusive, I'm thinking that it won't be worth it for Ubi to port it later, because I haven't seen the sales of a ported game from the 360 to the PS3 sell well. Correct me if I'm wrong...

[Natsu X FairyTail]

lol all the ps3 fanboys talking down the game. STFU man if the devs say that the game will shine and show the x360 good side why you guys have to go and contradict their words?

[LukaX23]

Because we've heard it before.

PS: Splinter Cell was originally a PlayStation game. So you can see why some Sony fans are pissed. We're not bashing the game, just the dumb PR.

[mastiffchild]

I thought that was an odd comment Natsu. I don't think there's much question that most people feel it's going to be a good game-there's just some dispute over whether to believe the PR, that's all though.

Personally I think it will stay exclusive to 360(console wise)and that giving a dev the time to make something really great for the 360 is a really good thing even if I'd rather play it with a DS3 than my 360 pad. I honestly think everyone(or nearly)thinks the game looks fine so don't get so het up mate.

[Ju]

Because its just marketing bubbles. Put up or shut up, simple. I'll shut up when it'll show something which KZ2 or UC2 (or...) doesn't. Until then, its just trying to hype the game. That's all.

If I want to play Splinter Cell, I'd probably get 360 (the first one on PS3 was a broken disaster anyway). But I'm not a big SC fan, so I probably can live without (or maybe I'll get it for the PC). I like stealth games (or tactical games), and the only one on the PS3 is RB6/Graw (if you don't want to go through the length of MGS4). So, would be nice to have, for sure.

[ShabzS]

and then an xbox game originally developed by ubi montreal ... later on ubi soft shanghai ported the ps 2 and gamecube versions

[Natsu X FairyTail]

yeah well metal gear was on NES back in the days So now I want it to be on the Wii X nintendo DS..

see ?

stop complaning .

[Infernostew]

Metal Gear was actually originally on MSX2 and ported (horribly) to the NES. I see you point but metal gear was not a good example. Final Fantasy on the other hand... but that was kinda nintendo's fault for not going with disc format.

[likedamaster]

Everyone knows it originated on Xbox(for consoles) and not the other way around. LOL. Nice try.

It was ported over to ps2/gamecube and much later than expected. From my knowledge it has always released day and date with the PC version. And although the pc version had higher res, the xbox versions were one of the best looking games on the console receiving some of the highest scores for graphics at that time.

[drdre74]

"the disc will melt your xbox 360" is what it should say. The game looks good but its NOT great like UNCHARTED 2. I'm going to buy the game but right now PS3 graphic wise and game wise is killing the 360. I'm glad I'll have a game worth buying on my 360 since Mass Effect

[beans]

What does splinter cell have to do with UC2? Well since you brought it up I'm liking the look and gameplay in conviction more than UC2. Sure UC2 has gotten great reviews but it just doesn't blow me away at all like many other Ps3 titles.

"but right now PS3 graphic wise and game wise is killing the 360."

I don't think it's really killing the 360 graphics wise but it is killing it in many areas like lighting and other effects that make there exclusives look more realistic. I'm sure something will come out soon to really show what 360 can do but until then my visuals look perfectly fine for now.

[Grandreaper9999]

I hate hate hate Splinter Cell games, but I will say Conviction LOOKS nice. Like I said, it's not my bag, but what they've shown looks promising.

As for it being exclusive, there's a 50/50 chance it could go MP I think. I mean, the devs HAVE to pretend with MS that it's an exclusive. It's a disgusting practice, having to watch a developer shift in their seat, dodge questions and bite their lips for 6-10 months nodding whenever MS flaps their mouth about exclusives... Ugh..Timed exclusives..... *puke*.

I think it'll stay exclusive though.

EDIT: timed exclusives for both consoles are bad. I mentioned MS because we're talking about SCC being/staying only on 360.

[Pootangpie]

splinter cell has always sucked on The PS2 the only place it shined was on the Xbox and PC it may have been on the PS2 last gen but it was a completly butchered in comparsion to the Xbox and PC versions

[4Sh0w]

Splinter Cell games are always good, this one looks like it will be the best of 'em all.

[CAPT IRISH]

just release it already

[TheMailman]

"I want to make sure that when the game hits the shelves the disc will 'meld' with your Xbox 360 - it's meant for the Xbox 360 and it will show," he said somewhat enthusiastically.

Oh yeh!! Just like forza 3, the definitive racing simulator...

These guys surely talk the talk, but can they walk the walk? I´m afraid not…

[Elven6]

Ubisoft Montreal, you mean the same people behind Splinter Cell, Assassins Creed, Prince of Persia, Shaun White, Far Cry, etc, the series that have sold millions of copies each? One of the largest Ubisoft subsidiaries and a influential and respected developer in Canada.

Yea, what the hell have they done anyway? How dare they talk about their game so positively!

[NecrumSlavery]

The same guys who said this would of been an outstanding PS3 game but went 360 do to a business decision.

How can it be one with the 360? MGS used sixaxis and multilayered content. Hell remember when you fought mantis in 4. I paused the game and reassiged the controller to 2 thinking about classic mgs mantis fight and otacon came up and told me that I couldn't fight the same way I fought before against psycho mantis. That's system exclusive content. I'm sure that Conviction will just red ring as a joke.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

This game is looking freakin' awesome!

I hope they can push the hardware further than anyone has.

[Consoldtobots]

I've always been a big fan of splinter cell ever since the first one on PC. Played both PC and xbox versions of chaos theory and even had the PS2 version of pandora tommorrow. As long as they give me good missions and cool weapons I could care less about wether it beats title X in graphics. That's just for silly fanboys looking to have pissing matches.

[xg-ei8ht]

Right now we have it.

Both games made for exclusive platforms, pushing the tech.

So it's.

UNCHARTED 2

VS

SPLINTER CELL

GAME ON

[Consoldtobots]

no its not you silly fanboy, both are great titles and deserve recognition of their own. All this fanboy crap is getting old, give it a rest already.

[Nelson M]

In the Picture

[xxReaper47xx]

Always have played Splinter Cell on Pc and it will stay that way.Best series there is imo.

[BrianC6234]

Just think how great it could be if it was done on the PS3 and everything the PS3 offers.

[PoisonedTea]

I think the melding is what we're (well XBox360 owners) worried about. Nevertheless, I'm definitely picking this one up on release - if my console can hold out till then.

[artsaber]

Remember that once these devs saw MGS4, they sent this game back to the drawing board. Hopefully it will be good, I liked the original Splinter Cell games... they were fun.

Just pray for your 360s because this game is guaranteed to RROD a record number of machines... I hope mine survives.

[Shendow]

Wait what happens if MGS:R comes out a month before it? would that mean they are going to delay is again?

[maniacmayhem]

I saw this at PAX and it looked fantastic. Can't wait to get it.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

Compare killzone 2 to halo 3 (2007)?
Halo 3 is years old.

Killzone 2 just came out a few months ago duh.
Also, what else are we comparing ?
Gameplay
Graphics
Fun
Matchmaking
Story
WTF?

There is no comparison little buddy. Halo is for kids, LOL!
If you're a kid then I understand that you like cartoons & auto aim with some
Marshmellow jumping & slow shooting but if you're a guy then you're pretty ghay... Like
Soilderboy.

[vandaLl_L]

Will definitely get this for PC.

[Thoreau]

devs have the option to max out a consoles potential. splinter cell, my 360 is waiting for your release.

[Shane Kim]

I'll laugh at this article when this game ends up on PS3 6 months after release.

[foreverflame]

Well i don't blame them. PS3 is a piece of crap console.Splinter cell never sold well on the ps consoles all of them have bombed and looked inferior

[LTC]

With cr@p low resolution graphics (560p)
short gameplay, low quality sound due to DVD.
A glitchy and bug ridden mess.

It will get high praise from MS c0cksucking websites so u do have that to fall back on.

[PELVIC THRUST ACTION]

Does that mean it's going to shimmer like hell and look like plastic like every other Unreal Engine game? I hope they cut the Unreal engine and make their own engine for this game. And for the love of god do NOT use the Farcry 2 engine. Use the ASS CREED engine.

[spektical]

yea SCC will show the 360's true colors.... THE RED ONES!!!
haha i made it funny xD

[Grandreaper9999]

*gasp*

:O

[Ron_Burgundy]

that's not necessarily a good thing :P

[patterson]

lol

[lonix]

He wants it to melt like an xbox

[patterson]

I know poor choice of words given its history xD

[TheDesperado]

Just kidding, I can wait. I have other games to play while 360 loses this "exclusive."

[click 2 get virus]

i stoped playing Splinter Cell years ago

[monkeybizz]

Maybe it will be digital distribution, hence meld...

You never know, it would kill piracy, and a big title would put the digital download theory to the test.

[patterson]

I'll laugh my @ss off if they end up using Unreal Engine 3 code.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[air1]

damn...

just look at all these sony groupies agreeing with each other.. crazy!

[GiantEnemyCrab]

They've said the same old tired sh*t for some long their bite has no venom. They are just laughing stocks now and not just on N4G, they seem to be universally recognized as idiots(besides among themselves) in just about any game related site on the internet.

There nothing but laughs now.

[dustgavin]

"They've said the same old tired sh*t for some long their bite has no venom. They are just laughing stocks now and not just on N4G, they seem to be universally recognized as idiots. There nothing but laughs now"

some=so
There=They're

Who is the idiot?

[NJShadow]

LOL, he just said he wants the game to "meld" with the often overheated Xbox 360. ^_^ I'd say that will happen.

[baph777]

I guess I won't be getting Conviction, then unless they change their mind. I'm looking forward to Uncharted 2, The Last Guardian, and God of War III more anyway.

I hope it doesn't meld to closely with the 360s otherwise they will be getting rrods.

[kidalot]

for supporting one console, most their games have come to as many consoles as possible, they even made a splinter cell for the psp. This isn't even a new ip, how on earth can sequels become Console exclusives all of a sudden? I've heard of sequels going mulit-plat before. How many game sequels have gone from multi-plat to exclusive this gen?
What if like me there were people who bought the PS3 assuming splinter cell would always be released on the console since the last one did. Imagine if GTA V were PS3 or 360 exclusive.

[cmrbe]

What they meant to say is that SC is meant for BETA on the xbox. Yes xbot's do a proper beta testing for us.

[badbond1]

are the real losers in 2009-2010. Uncharted 2, R&C, Demons Souls, GT5, and GOWIII end all talk about who is the best!

[sdm123]

this is going to be a huge change in the gameplay of splinter cell .

if you guys watched E3 then you should know this already and should be looking forward to the game .

I was thrilled to see them take the game in a different direction .

There are different ways to sneak around and Ect.

I hope this game does well and gets a good reivew when its released .

[Obama]

Just find it interesting that it still looks worse than mgs4.

[Hiruu]

Since when does N4G post stories not slamming the xbox 360...somebody had better call the editor...fox news of gaming isn't posting a rah rah sony rah article.

[Staude]

Hopefully they don't mean that literally XD

[TheDesperado]

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[Lets-Game]

funny thing is, for years splintercell was an average game, but now since its exclusive people go crazy over it. Sorry Im not so easy to fool.

I think I tried every splintercell there was and never liked it nor did any of my friends. Its not a title anyone would ever mention when talking about great games. Pure fanboy love is filling this hype engine.

when you are dieing from hunger any otherwise hated food will taste good, and that's what xbox only owners are experiencing.

[mebob]

360 fanboys are goin crazy about it cause they get a semi exclusive game for their system to brag about.

Ps3 fanboys are going crazy because M$ and their big fat check book shafted them again.....

[gameman]

well but ofcoures it should be there the ps3 is too hard for them to handle + MGS4 is there and they know very will the ps3 owners will not buy this peace of cr@p

[hoops]

I am new to this site and all i can say its FULL of fanboys of MS and Sony. Sad.

[mebob]

then leave :D

[hoops]

"But there is some perverted notion that all MS's developers have to pretend that their games can compete in the visual realm, which they cant."

Notice how last generation it was the PS2 in this position of less graphic capabilities and they said the same things now abut game play over graphics. Very interesting. More so that the level of graphic advantage the PS3 has over the Xbox360 is not as big as the Xbox1 had over the PS2.
In the end. Really? Who cares about visuals compared to graphics. If the game play is solid, that is all that matters.
If anyone wants to be a graphic whore, buy a PC. The PC has no match for graphics.

[Bumpmapping]

1.Texture pop-ins
2.My name says it all
3.Choppy framerate
4.Low poly characters
5.Bloom ( Lots of it)
6.Retarded AI
7.Lack of content ( Thanks too DV9)
8.Multiplayer ( 360 owners don't play SP only reason they bought it for was MP)
9.Freezing your console
10.50$ renew your subscription....BAM RROD!!!

[kaz-hirai]

"Splinter Cell is meant for Xbox and it will show"

Hmmm iv just pre orderd this for my PC ;-D!!!!!

Is my PC an Xbox ? No ;-}

So how is this an Xbox exclusive ? ;-D!!!!!

[mebob]

"Splinter Cell is meant for Xbox and it will show"

Gimped on PC confirmed?

i'm not a big fan of steath games especially Splintercell, but i've notice alot of console ports to PC are gimped, like some of them don't even have AA or AF and have extremely horrible textures(GTA4, Red faction etc...) hopefully they don't mean "Splinter Cell is meant for Xbox and it will show" literally or else pc gamers will be looking at a gimped version.....

[trounbyfire]

The game really does not look that great plus the head is way to big. i can't be the only one to see that.

[Comet]

Spinter Cell, I'm proud of you and all, and Ima let you finish, but Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best stealth game of all time!!, OF ALL TIME!!!!
*Oh, and it's on PS3 :D

[bjornbear]

And the PS3 port will be meant for PS3...duh
