NowGamer: Splinter Cell: Conviction Preview

Sam Fisher has come a long way in the last two years. Back then, he was shambling around crowded parks in broad daylight; attempting to blend seamlessly into the throngs of people, but looking more likely to root through the nearest bin for a half-eaten sandwich. Yes friends, in 2007 Splinter Cell: Conviction was an altogether different beast, and little more than a raving derelict when compared to the lean, gruff action dynamo that burst forth from this year's E3, leaving critics and gamers gasping with admiration.

Nothing more than a poor mans Metal Gear Solid

WMW5469d ago

this game looks ok but it has some big flaws the mark an execute should not be replenished with one melee knockout also you shouldn't be able to mark enemies till you have it. you can run in to a room with 30 guys mark them before you enter knock 1 out then take the other 29 out in seconds. also the last known location is a big AI flaw you get spotted go back into hiding flank them an there still just standing there in the same spot waiting for you instead of looking for you somewhere else like the AI do in UC2.

GiantEnemyCrab5469d ago

You can only mark and execute up to 3 people that one time so the scenario you present would not happen.

Also, I read that much like Fallout 3's VATS system just because you do a mark and execute doesn't always mean a sure kill.

The AI scenario with breaking line of sight actually seems more realistic and not something to complain about. I have no idea how the AI will react and if all AI will focus on the last spotted position or just some.. I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that it's flawed.

WMW5469d ago

yes i know 30 is extreme but still you can clear a room in seconds also so far most of the shots seem to kill with one hit. the last known location is flawed from what i seen in the video interview about tactics it showed sam shoot one guy everyone started shooting back he crawled in this vent in the floor and came out behind them and all they were doing was looking in the vent no one jumped down to follow or look anywhere else in the room they just stood there. also in that same video he was spotted ducked behind cover flanked the enemies and they never moved once.

It may look easy when developers demo the game in their God Mode. But I'm sure incapacitating/executing is a whole other ballgame when you're playing on realistic difficulty.

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.

Bane351987d ago (Edited 1987d 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

hiawa231987d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351987d ago (Edited 1987d ago )

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

Z5011987d ago

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

Bane351987d ago (Edited 1987d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931987d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011987d ago

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

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

Gwiz1987d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1987d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1987d ago
Movefasta19931987d 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.

Gaming4Life19811987d 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.

bluebenjamin1987d 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

Movefasta19931987d ago

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

Z5011987d 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.

Gaming4Life19811987d 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.

Hungryalpaca1987d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1987d ago

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

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

lxeasy2277d ago

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

ApexWolf222277d 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.

AG1002277d ago

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

Goldby2276d ago

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

yomfweeee2277d ago

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

BQ322277d ago

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

annoyedgamer2277d ago

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

lxeasy2277d 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."

TheRealHeisenberg2417d ago

No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.

Vectrexer2416d ago

Are we confused? We get games that we've been enjoyed before at no cost to us!

C-H-E-F2417d ago
