PlayTM writes: "The definition of stealth-action gaming, Splinter Cell, is getting a major gameplay overhaul. The last game in the series, designed by Ubisoft's Shanghai office, was relatively received as possibly the worst yet. This time round Sam Fischer is coming back home to Ubisoft Montreal. Drawing inspiration from their recent hit Assassins' Creed, lead producer Mathieu Ferland intends to take things in a new direction.
The ups and downs of this relatively newish genre should, by now, be well known to all gaming enthusiasts. The giddy heights of the early Metal Gear Solid games and the likes of Thief: The Dark Age have been met equally in an opposing-manner by some horrendous fad-like releases which the ever vigilant gaming press quickly recognised as new internments of the gameplay graveyard. Indeed this is a genre which has begun to grate a little in recent years, the novelty of sneaking through shadows and whacking guards on the back of the head (over and over and over again) has worn off, it needs something new."
Microsoft presented a new batch of Xbox 360 games that received Xbox One X enhancements via Xbox One backward compatibility, and here you can watch how they run.
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.
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
Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne
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.
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.
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
I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable
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.
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.
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!

"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
Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.
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.
Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely
Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.
No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.
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."
Don't confuse the Xbox gamers. They have enough problems to deal with... : P'
No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.
"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"
*Fixed*
"The control system has had a complete overhaul. Splinter Cell had previously been renown as a game which made use of almost every button and controllable function of the Xbox controller to have Sam use the huge array of equipment available to him. The new incarnation, if we can truly believe this, is only going to use three buttons (not including, we assume, an analogue stick or two)."
Further proof of the game being assassins creed in modern day.
You may continue to attack me for my lack of enthusiasm for the new Splinter cell game. However based on the evidence i have seen, i can already tell I(as in ME maybe not YOU) will hate the game.
Every Ubisoft Montreal Splinter Cell has been great, and I'm really looking forward to this one.
And Sonarus - wait for the demo before you judge.
There is a chance i may pick up this game. However, i need to wait longer and see more information on it.
i must admit, the whole Jason Bourne angle with this game has somewhat thrown me off. to be honest, now that MGS4 has incorporated an over-the-shoulder control-scheme, i'm more interested in Solid Snake's outing than Sam Fisher's this generation. hopefully Conviction will turn out good though, because nothing would be better than having two completely different but equally good stealth games.
Each splinter cell after Chaos Theory (which I think was the peak of the series) has gotten progressively worse. Yeah, the graphics have gotten a little shinier....but the gameplay hasn't given me the excitement it did since the first 3 games.
