onPause writes: "Ubisoft has released three new screenshots of the upcoming Splinter Cell: Conviction that releases sometime in April. These new images show one spy kicking butt in what looks to be a horde type mode."

heroprotagonist5212d ago

The graphics are shaping up nicely. It already looks amazing.

Rush5212d ago

The game goes for that clean and sharp look like most valve games.

And has strayed away from the dirty gritty look like Unreal 3 games like Gears 2 and UT3.

Its gained plenty of sharpness but sadly at the loss of a little texture. They have really pushed the bar graphically on a console game in terms of clean cut lines and general sharpness.

I would like to see a little more detailed texture though on the scenery. At least that's my general opinion on them 3 screen shots.

DelbertGrady5212d ago

Probably because it's from the multiplayer. Most games have to downgrade the multiplayer graphics a bit in order to avoid performance issues.

starchild5212d ago

@Rush

Oh, I don't know, I think the textures look pretty damn good.

Compare screenshot A (from Conviction) to screenshot B (from GOW3) and tell me which game you think has better textures.

A http://farm5.static.flickr....
B http://ps3.ign.com/dor/obje...

It looks to me that screenshot A has the edge in textures.

Rush5212d ago (Edited 5212d ago )

I think Splinter Cell.

Then again am not trying to but GOW3 down either I simply don't like that type of action game. Thus my opinion is most likely a little bias towards it.

Am not quite sure why you brought GOW3 into this though. Maybe you just though that would generally be a fair comparison which is fine I guess.

But if it was your attempt at some silly fanboy rebuttal I bet your feeling fairly stupid right about now.

DARK WITNESS5212d ago

@ Rush

you can correct me if i am wrong , but I am sure I heard this game was using a heavily modified Unreal2 engine, not the UN3 engine.

http://www.pcgameshardware....

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

UN3 engine has a very particular look that is seen in most games using the engine hence your example with gears and UN3. this is why SC looks so different and prob why ubi didn't want to use unreal 3 and went with 2.

Rush5212d ago

Yeah your right I like that look reminds me of CS:Source which I have played on and off for 4 years.

But I still like the textures of the Unreal 3 Engine better though. That's just my opinion I guess.

Although seriously I can't be bothered getting back into are earlier discussion. So don't try pull me in because I don't actually dislike you.

Your a fairly cool guy and you have your own opinion and I respect that but I still think your wrong not gonna change. xD

DARK WITNESS5212d ago

@ Rush

lolololol, don't worry i wont' try going back into our other discussion.

Likewise I still disagree, but we can agree to disagree - and not bash each other but respect each others opinions.

I am at work now anyway so can only type quick replys. No long a$$ comments.

PS3... the home of the sloppy seconds ports!

Splinter Cell Conviction will never be on the PS3 because the PS3 would run the game like crap. Ubisoft said that they built the engine around the 360's architecture.

dtrain215212d ago

If it did come to PS3.....It Only Does Bad Ports

JasonPC360PS3Wii5212d ago

PS3 home of MAG and White Knight and no games in 2010

Wrathman5212d ago

i dont buy games that often but splintercell will be bought.

old ps titles that wont be be bought by me....MGS and FF.

WHY?they died on the ps2 just like all japanese games.RIP.

The multiplayer will be awesome!

stonecold15212d ago

game the graphics are nowhere no metal gear 4 level the crapbox couldnt handle metal gear 4 unless they have to scale the graphics down then therewill be no towns thought hehehehe and running on 10 last gen dvds and thing would be takingh out of the game because the 360 just couldnt handle it

gamer20105212d ago

Dude, are you blind as a bat? This blows MGS4 out of the water.

BX815212d ago

@gamer2010 LMAO! Some people are soo brainwashed that they believe what they want to. The proof is in the pics. Yes MGS4 had it's day but that day has come and gone, it's a new year and new better looking games are every where. Good scans.

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.

Bane351852d ago (Edited 1852d 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

hiawa231852d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351852d ago (Edited 1852d ago )

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

Z5011852d ago

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

Bane351852d ago (Edited 1852d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931852d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011852d ago

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

bluebenjamin1852d ago

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

Gwiz1852d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1852d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1852d ago
Movefasta19931852d 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.

Gaming4Life19811852d 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.

bluebenjamin1852d 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

Movefasta19931852d ago

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

Z5011852d 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.

Gaming4Life19811852d 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.

Hungryalpaca1852d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1851d ago

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

timotim1852d ago (Edited 1852d 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

lxeasy2142d ago

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

ApexWolf222142d 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.

AG1002142d ago

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

Goldby2141d ago

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

yomfweeee2142d ago

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

BQ322141d ago

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

annoyedgamer2141d ago

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

lxeasy2141d 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."
