I'm proud of Ubisoft on this one. The could have easily done what they did with GRAW2, or what Infinity Ward does with the COD series, and just create some new levels, tweak the graphics, and send the next installment out to the masses where it would surely sell well based on reputation alone.
But, they decided that the CONTENT and the gameplay actually mattered, and they challenged themselves by pushing the boundaries, and implementing a whole new way of thinking about the stealth genre. No more just lurking in the shadows, this game sounds like it has loads of potential.

i will say it again...Boune Identity, lol...this will be fun, so much potential...talk about keeping a franchise fresh!

you will notice that it took one whole core just to run the physics on the 360.

i like what i learned from this statement in article:

"How far do you think you’re going to take advantage of the Xbox 360 hardware?

MF- Being the second game of the franchise operating on the Xbox 360, our technical experience and knowledge improves everyday and this makes a difference in the results. Also, since Conviction is exclusive to X360, there is no need to think about specifications of other consoles and to develop common solutions. This freedom allows more flexibility and it surely shows more of what the Xbox 360 can really perform."

good to go

edit: nice to see for the first time that Montreal studio is handling both the single player and the multiplayer

Grown Folks Talk6604d ago

gamestop/eb taking reserves. it will be mine.

USMChardcharger6604d ago (Edited 6604d ago )

what is up Grown? i hear ya on that buddy.

side note 1 hour after 1st post: wow, when there is nothing to bash one of the consoles about, there are not many post are there?

USMChardcharger6604d ago

one other thing i forgot to mention that has a ton of opportunities to get real interesting...THE Black Market...this will be how sam gets weapons and info.

think of all the possibilities.

man, this game wasn't even on my radar yet. i was really waiting to see what the game was going to offer later on...i mean i knew it would be good.

i was blind sided by all this info and new direction they are going with SC...did i say i can't wait yet?

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.

Bane352258d ago (Edited 2258d 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

hiawa232258d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352258d ago (Edited 2258d ago )

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

Z5012258d ago

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

Bane352258d ago (Edited 2258d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932258d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012257d ago

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

bluebenjamin2258d ago

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

Gwiz2258d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2258d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2258d ago
Movefasta19932258d 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.

Gaming4Life19812257d 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.

bluebenjamin2258d 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

Movefasta19932258d ago

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

Z5012257d 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.

Gaming4Life19812257d 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.

Hungryalpaca2257d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2257d 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

lxeasy2547d ago

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

ApexWolf222547d 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.

AG1002547d ago

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

Goldby2547d ago

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

yomfweeee2547d ago

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

BQ322547d ago

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

annoyedgamer2547d ago

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

lxeasy2547d 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."

TheRealHeisenberg2687d ago

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

Vectrexer2687d ago

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

C-H-E-F2687d ago

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