Ubisoft has once again reaffirmed that Splinter Cell: Conviction is exclusive to Xbox 360 in response to rife rumours of a Sony version over the past few weeks.

The more I think they are lying.

BeaArthur5114d ago

nix...agreed, can we just move on already. This has been going on almost daily for weeks now. Let me know when it's confirmed for the PS3 or shut up about it.

NOOBKILLA5114d ago

We all know that M$ paid Ubi to make Splinter Cell Conviction a timed exclusive. Which was a good move on M$'s part, SC: Conviction is an awesome game.

It's safe to assume that Ubi is under contract that they can't even talk about SC: Conviction on the PS3 until the timed exclusivity is over (just like 2K couldn't with Bioshock). SC: Conviction will probably come on the PS3 around Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Inside_out5114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

No doubt...this game is AMAZING...I hope it comes out for the PS3...they deserve to make as much money as possible...game isn't perfect, but what is there is alot of fun....some of the best game play this gen...Best stealth/action this gen...The game is a big stealth/action playground....sold 500,000 in wk one, came out on a Tuesday...will have a steady increase as more people see/here about it...At the top in euro charts...Definitely coming to the PS3...question is when???....

Check out some vids available...IGN..etc...also, developers released there own walkthroughs of the demo...one stealth, one assault...worth a peek...Many reviews available...

Swiftfox5114d ago

The quote listed is a reads more like a reiteration, not an all out denial. They just mention that it is an exclusive to one console (Xbox 360) and will be coming on the PC next week. Nothing really about if it will remain an exclusive to one console.

I can't really believe any studio that states that they will be making a console exclusive title. This includes all 3rd party studios from Ubi to Square Enix. There is just too much politics and too much business involved to think otherwise.

Raul_75114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

This reminds me of Microsoft's GTA IV exclusive DLC announcements...lol!

and btw i played this game on my 360...its a good game, but no where near great! Previous parts were much better.

Sony this game is very bad, not even a stealth game anymore.

i cant see why people want it
let x box keep it man

they would of been better off with a new rainbow six exclusive

Splinter cell lost it way after splinter cell chaos theory

Natsu X FairyTail5114d ago

How is the game bad? have you played it? you dont even own a xbox360.

THC CELL5114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

What are u on about i have a 360 (THC PRITCHARD)

I was one of the lead players in Rainbow six vegas 1
My clan was THC ( trigger happy clan)

As i moved house i got a ps3 and cause it had free network i never saw the need to connect a xbox again maybe for updates and that's about it

I have rented some of the xbox games including splinter cell
and also i play games way before most people as i work in game
i have also played Alan wake and think its a good game for xbox
not the best but good
i think the guys who made silent hill should steal there engine

So get off my back

Xwow20085114d ago

is coming next month, how u got it?(leaked)?

thereapersson5114d ago

Don't worry, you'll get a ton of disagrees, even though 360 fanboys claim only PS3 fanboys slam the disagree button out of spite.

Oh, and since you talked down upon a 360 game, expect more animosity coming your way; ALSO despite the fact that 360 fanboys are quick to point out how much PS3 fans cry whenever PS3 exclusives are downplayed.

tripewire5114d ago

I played the demo and thought the same thng. I never finished a SC game, but I really enjoyed the time I did spend playing them. The demo was about as much time as I want to spend with Conviction.

Of course not liking a 360 timed exclusive means I also dont own a 360...

MaximusPrime5114d ago

I like all Splinter cells (xbox, PS2)

I would love to see this new one on PS3.

boodybandit5114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

I myself enjoyed the game but was far from blown away by it. The UE engine is completely played out IMHO and I did end up being disappointed in a lot of aspects of the game. I completed it twice but only because I wanted to see how the AI would react/play on realistic difficulty and I completed Hunter mode on realistic to max out most of my weapons. IMHO I would give the game an 8 overall but I am a sucker for shooters and I dig Ironside.

The AI is pretty dumb at times. Stealth is next to none existant but you can use it if you choose to play that way. The story was meh/cliche, graphics were decent but nothing to brag about, sound was decent, voice acting was meh as well (Ironside originally didn't want to do this game and you could hear it in his deliverence), game over all was laid out nicely but the online modes are boring as hell and the game is not without some quirks and flaws.

Anyone that has me on both friends list would tell you I purchase a lot of multiplatform games for both consoles. If this game was eventually released on the PS3 it would not join that list. Unless of course Ubisoft made some tweaks, added some new modes and other enhancements worth while enough to warrant a purchase or even a rental.

@Natsu
You really shouldn't point fingers at who does or does not own a console when you yourself, like most overly vocal members on N4G, don't display your GT for XBL or PSN under your profile. You can gladly check mine and see just how far I got in SCC. I don't voice my opinion on any topic without having hands on experience with it. Prove to us your the same. What is your GT's?

THC CELL5114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

worst splinter cell ever
Ubisoft please go back to the old days

splinter cell chaos theory is well better than this
God u are only disagreeing with me on this game cause its a xbox exclusive

Ubisoft are just rushing games
they did the same with vegas 2
i was a big fan of ubisoft till that game came out

Bluemaster775114d ago

I honestly dont think its going to happen just as MGS4 did/will not even be on 360

gtamike1235114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

But MGS4 can't be done on 360 but Splinter Cell can be done on PS3.

DOMination5114d ago

Splinter Cell Conviction is only possible on Xbox 360. Ubisoft said as much a while back when they stated the PS3 couldn't handle the AI within the game.

ssipmraw5114d ago

lol and you believed them, seriously it can be done on ps3, its just some PR bullsh!t

IdleLeeSiuLung5114d ago

All this, it can only be done on one console is just PR bullshit. If you know anything about how computers work, you will know that.

TreMillz5114d ago

I'm pretty sure the PS3 can handle SC:C's AI. I've yet to hear what the PS3 can't handle. But anyways, Ubisoft I see SC:C on a PS3 case this fall, you really...really lost all your dignity. I bet it will be something like, "the division saw the potential in more sales, so they ported it over."...... C'mon, giva all the SC fanbs a game to play. People on all three sides will love this game.

Demons Souls5114d ago

You're right. Splinter Cell: Conviction is only possible on the 360. However, the PS3 only does everything (including making the impossible, possible).

gtamike1235114d ago

The best AI i've seen/played is in Killzone 2.

Kratos Spartan5114d ago

They accidentally made it for PS3. whoops!!

gtamike1235114d ago

The PS3 version of bioshock has higher res textures then 360 version.
Don't take my word for it check out the IGN review.

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.

Bane351837d ago (Edited 1837d 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

hiawa231837d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351837d ago (Edited 1837d ago )

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

Z5011837d ago

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

Bane351837d ago (Edited 1837d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931836d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011836d ago

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

bluebenjamin1837d ago

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

Gwiz1837d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1837d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1836d ago
Movefasta19931836d 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.

Gaming4Life19811836d 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.

bluebenjamin1837d 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

Movefasta19931836d ago

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

Z5011836d 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.

Gaming4Life19811836d 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.

Hungryalpaca1836d ago

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

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

timotim1837d ago (Edited 1837d 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

lxeasy2126d ago

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

ApexWolf222126d 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.

AG1002126d ago

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

Goldby2126d ago

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

yomfweeee2126d ago

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

BQ322126d ago

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

annoyedgamer2126d ago

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

lxeasy2126d 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."

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