IGN: Splinter Cell: Conviction - All the Right Moves

It's been a long time between missions, but Sam Fisher is back – and thankfully sans-hobo beard. Revealed officially at Microsoft's E3 2009 press conference and later replayed at Ubisoft's, Splinter Cell: Conviction looks like the fresh direction the series desperately needed – but it goes even further, pointing the way forward for cinematic and practical storytelling and stealth gameplay.

I'm going to see if I can pre-order this tomorrow.

really duh5451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

Thanks man.

Kind of strange the PC channel on IGN was used when the article and video are of the 360 version. The article doesn't matter but the video is from the 360 version. Anyways the other E3 footage didn't do this game justice when talking about the graphics this game is stunning looking. After watching I can say this game is jaw dropping the detail is crazy.

KingKionic 5451d ago

Yeah i noticed.

Hopefully multiplayer gameplay is coming soon.

Blaze9295451d ago

Man I cannot wait for this game. Just pre-ordered the title myself with release date-delivery. Always been a fan of the Splinter Cell series and its finally nice to have Sam Fisher back. Chaos Theory is still freaking amazing and the best in my books, hopefully this becomes the new best Splinter Cell.

Jim Hawking5451d ago

This was one of my top 3 picks from e3. Looks very good.

Is multiplayer confirmed?

really duh5451d ago

Who in the hell keeps disagreeing?

This is the channel *COLUMBO* should have used

Jaces5451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

Was never interested in any of the Splinter Cell games, have played Pandora tomorrow, didn't like it but I'm willing to give Fisher another chance.

Seeing how this is shaping up it'll be a rent to see if it's a go or no go for me. Hopefully it'll be great, been awhile since I've played anything stealthy lately.

EDIT: lol at the disagrees, oh I'm sorry if I've hurt someones feelings for not liking the previous SC games. Dear me, I apologize.

BaSeBaLlKiD7215451d ago

i have a 360 and do not plan on getting SC:C

TheReaper425451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

looks interesting enough to purchase. SC and uncharted 2. the good games keep on coming.

Your A Towel5451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

Dude it's cool not your cup of tea, but im talking about the people i hang out with.
Bet your still a cool dude just dont want this game.

Everybody love Everybody!

ChrisGTR15451d ago

meh... i like splintercell alot and all but pre ordering is for suckers. just go to bestbuy and get it, usually has like 10$ off or a giftcard. gaystop never has anything like that on new games.

Marceles5451d ago

Nice, looks like I'll be back playing Splinter Cell again. I haven't played the series since the first one on Xbox, but this is definitely reminding me of the fun times I had with it while adding new elements to the gameplay. I like the addition of crowds too, and that you don't just start off at the mission with 2 guards talking to each other with their backs turned.

poopface15451d ago

this one looks good too. finally you can kill everyone who gets n your way.

The footage is all from the PC version...but I hope the 360 version looks just as good. One can only hope though...

really duh5451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

Good looking out. Columbo is a PRO SONY contributor he always posts negative 360 stories things like low review scores for 360 games or speculation pieces. He posts in ways that are confusing either trying to make PS3 look good or to downplay the 360.

Here
http://xbox360.ign.com/arti...

He simply choose the PC channel due to his agenda.

Major_Tom5451d ago

You really are delusional aren't you.

commodore645451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

Well you can't blame him for thinking it was the PC version being shown, because it really has raised the bar for graphical standards.

I encourage all gamers out there to check the video out.
It really is marvellous what great graphics the 360 is capable of with the right developers.

The quality of this game looks sure to have benefitted from being 360 and PC only.

Can't wait for it to come out.

All Time Greatness5451d ago

Lmao, he thought it was running on PC.

Xbox 360 ftw ;)

Obama5451d ago

"really has raised the bar for graphical standards. " Of the 360 u mean, since noone ever mention that it is the best looking game.

commodore645451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

No, i meant the ps3 too of course.
Graphics like this are a cross between UC2 and Alan wake.

Bar has been raised.
IS good.

Obama5451d ago

You don't seriously believe that this looks better than UC2? No media outlet is even tempting to spread that lie.

likedamaster5451d ago

You can't say that bathroom scene doesn't look impressive. Gritty as can be, I love it!!!!!

@Naysayers
You can knock it all you want comparing it to every high value exclusive out there, doesn't change the fact this is a must-play game this year whether you have an xbox or a pc. Stealth/action at its best.

If you have a GameStop where you live, I know for sure you can reserve it. Other stores I would think so as well. I can't wait to get it. Hopefully the knife remains so I can stealthily slice throats like Chaos Theory. I hope the Avatar item from achievements applies to this game. Gotta hook my avi up with the goggles.

CaptainHowdy5451d ago

best path the game could have taken

really duh5451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

Perhaps they stuck with some of the old and SAM will become a hobo on the run later in the game or starts out as one. Well if anything they sure have worked on that advanced lighting engine they were so proud of with the older version.

DelbertGrady5451d ago

Hobo > old man in g-string with Freddy Mercury moustache.

CaptainHowdy5451d ago

an idiot was gonna bring up a non-related game. *rollseyes* the pic says it all.

Watch Ninja Gaiden II, Fable 2, Fable 3, and Splinter Cell Games Enhanced for Xbox One X in Action

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.

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d 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

hiawa231865d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

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

Z5011865d ago

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

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931865d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011865d ago

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

bluebenjamin1865d ago

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

Gwiz1865d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1865d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1865d ago
Movefasta19931865d 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.

Gaming4Life19811865d 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.

bluebenjamin1865d 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

1865d ago
1865d ago
Movefasta19931865d ago

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

Z5011865d 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.

Gaming4Life19811865d 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.

Hungryalpaca1865d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

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

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

lxeasy2155d ago

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

ApexWolf222155d 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.

AG1002155d ago

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

Goldby2154d ago

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

yomfweeee2155d ago

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

BQ322155d ago

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

annoyedgamer2155d ago

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

lxeasy2155d 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."
