never got to play all of the old splinter cells (the best) in my opinion double agent and conviction majorly sucked. good these are coming. underrated games, and i see this is a ps3 exclusive, is this coming for pc?

kramun4734d ago

Nah, pc gamers got the HD versions years ago, and the MP that went with them.

saladthieves4734d ago

Delayed. Damn it! The problem is these games are coming towards the holidays, and they are A LOT.

I_find_it_funny4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

underrated games? they are everything but underrated

played all three multiple times, you could play them like Hitman

ViserysTargaryen4734d ago

Best Splinter Cell = Chaos Theory. Thats all you need.

saladthieves4734d ago

Vis, you died remember? Drogo poured hot gold wax over your head. What are you doing here??

ViserysTargaryen4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

You presume to command me!? I don't take orders from the sluts and their Dothraki dogs! Now excuse me...where is that cart, my feet are killing me.

saladthieves4734d ago

Haha, typical Vis. At least you had the balls to stand up to some stranger who wasn't the rightful heir and I applaud you for that!

Bolts4733d ago

Lulz :) You are a shadow of a snake Visery.

firemassacre4734d ago

in a way its a good thing, more time for more games, but for hardcore splinter cell fans this could get fugly

LeonhartX4734d ago

Just don't delay it till November or i am gonna be broke !!!

bestofthebest4734d ago

they keep pushing this back a month at a time I had this preordered since february and its been delayed like 4times

morganfell4734d ago

It is being delayed for marketing reasons. The conversion is actually complete. If they are looking for a loop hole in the calendar to assist sales they aren't going to find one.

Splinter Cell Trilogy was excellent, as was the MGS HD collection. Stealth ftw!

I’d love to see a Ghost Recon/SOCOM/Rainbow Six collection as well, all great military franchises

Liner Notes XIX: The paranoiac beats of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

(Editor’s note: From Metal Gear Solid to Tenchu, everyone’s got at least one videogame tune stuck in their heads. Enter Liner Notes: a Pixelitis feature in which our writers discuss their favorite videogame soundtracks.)

"Forget that Sam Fisher had ever turned into a disgruntled ex-agent with nothing to lose. Before all that, the wise-cracking stealth operative snuck his way into one of 2005′s greatest games, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

Ubisoft Montreal tapped Brazilian electronica maestro Amon Tobin to craft the music for the third entry in the stealth action series. You could tell that the company was proud of the soundtrack, given that the album was released two months before the game was even out."

To this day I still find myself humming the tune from the cargo ship level, great game and great soundtrack :)

Dr Pepper4048d ago

The ambient/subtle music was (and still it) always nice to listen to in the first 3 games. Perfect for setting the stealthy mood, while not overpowering the other aspects of the game (unless you got caught, then that music blared adding nicely to the chaos).

ape0074048d ago

chaos theory....one of the greatest games ever

MAULxx4048d ago (Edited 4048d ago )

Im not a big SC fan but I own the game because of the soundtrack. I was into electronic music at the time & buying Tobin albums. Never finished the game. Maybe I should have just bought the OST. I just get impatient with sneaky deaky games in general.

I just played Chaos Theory HD. It was a good buy for 9 bucks and is clearly the best game in the series. I really hope the new game gets back to its roots.

FarCryLover1824420d ago

Sadly, it will not. I wish it would be like PT or CT but it will be like ConViction. However, I think they will add a tiny bit more stealth, but if they leave Mark and execute, black and white, x ray goggles, no dragging and hiding bodies, then count me out!

Bathyj4420d ago

I could not believe you couldnt drag bodies. I mean, WTF? If you wanted to move them you had to take them hostage and then drag them away before killing them. Serious design flaw for a stealth game.

And who wants to spend 90% of a game in black and white? I nice dark moonlight blue would have been better, or better yet, just leave the light and sound meter from the previous games. They were a much better system.

FarCryLover1824420d ago

They said that the new Splinter Cell will "explore old themes of SC, yet still focus on action." My expectations are very low, but I hope that they wow me and make a game comparable to CT. It's funny, they made the game like that to appeal to a wider audience...and it failed to sell as much as SC 1 which sold several million and ConViction almost sold 2 million. It's funny because the old version of ConViction was scrapped and developing the game in a 5 year span must have been costly, especially getting rid of the first version of ConViction.
If they would have kept the game similar to the old ones, development costs would have been cheaper and it would have sold more.

TriangleOffense4420d ago

Im still waiting on ICO & SOTC to be $20. I have no interest in these 3

MrBeatdown4420d ago

Splinter Cell HD is actually cheaper at Newegg...

http://www.newegg.com/Produ...

Only $15.99 and unlike Amazon, you get free shipping without having to spend over $25.

Wagz224420d ago

I was just going to add that, ordered it as soon as I got the email from newegg this morning. Awesome deal.

Skate-AK4420d ago

I was so pissed when I was only 40 cents short from getting it back when it was $20 on the PSN store if you had PS+

Dark_Overlord4420d ago

I would advise anyone against getting the Splinter Cell and Prince Of Persia Trilogys until UBI can be arsed to fix them (which seems extremely unlikely)
