Ubisoft's Guillemot explains Splinter Cell, Red Steel delays

Joystiq: When asked why these two games were being delayed, Guillemot explained, "The changes on Splinter Cell and Red Steel – it's just a question of polish. The team was asking that they couldn't be with the level of quality on all the maps and all the game for the end of the year, so they had asked for more time to be able to come with a better product, for both of those games.

*Translation*

"Modern warefare 2 made me do it ok !!!!!

RememberThe3575400d ago (Edited 5400d ago )

That would be one hell of a pu$$y move. Splinter Cell would do fine this holiday.

Of course they might not need it if Assassin's Creed 2 does the same kind of numbers the original did.

KingKionic 5400d ago

yeah..surrrre.

And the other games just decided to delay as well ?

RememberThe3575400d ago

really effect Red Steal sales?

KingKionic 5400d ago

....No... no it wouldn't .

Im just disappointed .

FamilyGuy5400d ago

They want to be a true contender for game of the year but they know 2009 is a lost cause. It looked polished enough, from what he said it sounds like level polishing. Like some levels looks way better than others.

Ausbo5399d ago (Edited 5399d ago )

360- Alan Wake, Mass Effect, Splinter Cell, Reach(later 2010), Crackdown

Ps3- God of War, Heavy Rain, GT(maybe), MAG, Agency.

2010>2009

N4g_null5399d ago

LOL activision can just use modernwarfare.activision.com LOL If they start this now then it will get the MW3 and 4 players ready. Seriously lame.

Basically the entire game was not of the quality shown in the E3 footage, so were gonna delay the release a few months to polish it up.

coolirisGB5400d ago

And they delayed Wii's biggest game to make it seem more convincing. RLMAO

Natsu X FairyTail5400d ago

It's obvious they delayed those games Mainly because of MW2 coming out this holiday.

WHy is it that they'Re releasing thse Right After the 2009 Holidays?

IaMs125400d ago

I think MW2 has something to do it with it but i dont think its the main reason tho. I mean Holidays are 5 months out which is plenty of time to Polish up. I bet they want to wait it out too and also polish so that it looks even better to hopefully contend, which i think it will. But its being released in March quarter of 2010 thats 3 months out of the holidays not that close...

Hopefully they can get a polish on those graphics because I personally felt they were lacking. other than that it looked like a quality gaming experience.

DelbertGrady5400d ago

Sounds good to me. Don't want it to look anything like MAG or some other rushed PS3 exclusive.

lokiroo4205400d ago

All the polish in the world isnt going to get it like U2, sorry.

commodore645399d ago

well i have seen all the videos of both games....
and i have to say it already looks better than u2.

It's time to bring back The Most Improved Video Game Sequels (you can read part one here) to check out these sensational sequels that delivered and did so in a deliciously delightful manner."

Resident Evil 4
Ratchet & Clank 2
Silent Hill 2
Street fighter 2
Castlevania: Symphony of the night
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Assassins Creed 2
Metal Gear Solid (not first game in the series)
Tekken 3
God of War (2018)
Mortal Kombat 9
Devil May Cry 3
Virtua Fighter 4

Luigis Mansion 3 doesn’t really belong in that list because the first game was great and it’s sequels didn’t really redefine the series.

Onimusha 2
but hey, we can make 1k improved sequel if we keep going on 😂

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.

Bane351850d ago (Edited 1850d 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

hiawa231850d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351850d ago (Edited 1850d ago )

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

Z5011850d ago

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

Bane351850d ago (Edited 1850d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931849d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011849d ago

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

bluebenjamin1850d ago

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

Gwiz1850d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1850d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1849d ago
Movefasta19931849d 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.

Gaming4Life19811849d 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.

bluebenjamin1850d 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

Movefasta19931849d ago

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

Z5011849d 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.

Gaming4Life19811849d 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.

Hungryalpaca1849d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1849d ago

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

timotim1850d ago (Edited 1850d 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!

After Assassin’s Creed III, these 7 Ubisoft games need a remaster

There’s more to Ubisoft’s back catalogue than its Templar-bothering flagship franchise and we’re here to prove it. By grovelling for remasters, of course.
