OXCGN's Eye Spy with Splinter Cell: Conviction - we sneak into Ubi at night play new DEMO

OXCGN:

"The latest demo is the exact same level as the one that has been demoed at the last few UbiNights except this time around it features a lot more content so as to give the player a good indication of what they should expect of the final game. It's been streamlined but still features quite a good chunk of content.

After so many delays and different changes in direction and gameplay I am pleased so say that this is going to be an amazing game, mainly based on the fact that you have so many options for attacking any given situation."

I can't wait until this game comes out. It looks good.

REALgamer5305d ago

Wasn't really interested in the previous ones, and didn't like Metal Gears Solid 4 but from what I've seen Conviction seems more up my alley.

Hope they can pull it off!

It felt very weird walking around inside Ubi's Sydney offices at night, especially hearing the game going 'off' in the distant room. Dim lights, the flicker of the screens, muted sounds from the other 2 guys there, getting some hands-on was excellent.

The game really has taken shape, and will certainly make an impression on any new Splinter Cell gamer, as well as the old-school Splinter Cell fans.

The demo is short, but you have the ability to replay it as many times as you want, and there's multiple entries and ways of going about any of the sections, or taking ppl out.

it's only limited by the way you think and play.

Cueil5305d ago

you can totally go old school

XboxOZ3605305d ago

I was initially worried about it, having been postponed several times, different gameplay mechanics in some areas, the different story slant, but not any more.

There's just WAY too many good, no, great games coming out this year, it's making it much harder to pick the ones I want, at least a few years ago, you could grab almost all the main AAA titles without really damaging the bank, now it's impossible.

Grown Folks Talk5305d ago

the demo will be up on Live. Sleep while it downloads, then arise to glorious revenge. Sarah... I shall make them pay.

XboxOZ3605305d ago

NOt certain if it does go live on the 19th, as of two days ago, Ubi were saying they weren't 100% sure of the 19th at that time, so if it's not, don't be alarmed, it won't be far away.

gaminoz5305d ago

Is it a multiplayer only demo? I'm getting sick of those.

XboxOZ3605305d ago

Nope, singleplayer all the way mate - thank god, . . how can you get to know Sam Fisher in MP . . . you can't.

Immortal Kaim5305d ago

Looking forward to giving it a try. So 19th in Aus or US?

Cueil5305d ago

in the US... downloaded and played it... it's great... you can play it in so many ways

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.

Bane351988d ago (Edited 1988d 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

hiawa231988d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351988d ago (Edited 1988d ago )

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

Z5011988d ago

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

Bane351988d ago (Edited 1988d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931988d 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

Gwiz1988d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1988d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1988d ago
Movefasta19931988d 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.

bluebenjamin1988d 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

Movefasta19931988d 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

timotim1988d ago (Edited 1988d 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

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

Goldby2277d 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."

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

Vectrexer2417d ago

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

C-H-E-F2417d ago
