They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.
Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
oo, i like
how is UMD useless if it's delivered millions and millions of games to millions of PSP owners?
Those sticks are in horrible posistions, if they are going to include dual sticks in the next PSP - then they really need to change the shape of the actual PSP to make it easier to hold.
I can't see getting rid of the UMD. I would have no issue. However, not everyone has home access to the Internets believe it on not. The only way I see this happening is some sort of kiosk for those who don't have a SAFE/Secure connection to the Internet to download games.
I still disagree with the UMD being taken out. Every problem resulted from th UMD can be fixed:
Battery life can be enhanced with a better and powerful battery.
Size is not an overly major concern, the PSP-3000 is a nice size and weight, though if they did want ti much smaller I can see the UMD part being a problem.
Loading times can be curtailed as well with a stronger processor, RAM etc. Coupled with a better batter that will be more able to run the operations I don't see this as a major problem with the PSP2.
I personally believe that these issues can be fixed without getting rid of the UMD. Likewise pure DD is not going to be the future for a good few years. Not everyone is willing to download all their games, and not every is capable of doing so. The two way option of UMD and DD is a workable solution.
However beyond that, I think a sliding screen would be nice, if not entirely high priority, and reworked controls to include all the buttons of a PS console would be great: it would allow users of the PSP2 and PS3, to use the PSP2 as a controller for the PS3.
The flash memory would also be great but Sony need to make sure they don't have a hand held that is too expensive. In fact, a non-UMD PSP2 which is expensive wud surely not work, or maybe they could offer 2 SKU's.
