Retailer Anticipating Splinter Cell: Conviction PS3 Release?

It seems that the guys at online video games retailer and rental service SwapGame are actually expecting the release of Splinter Cell: Conviction on the PlayStation 3.

Conviction – Sam Fisher’s latest outing – has been rumoured to be coming to the PS3 for a long time now. The game was released as a Microsoft exclusive (X360, PC) last month, yet the CV of multiple Ubisoft employees and retail listings have suggested that the game will hit the Sony platform sometime in the future.

That's interesting. I think a PS3 version will be released eventually.

Inside_out5132d ago

Splinter Cell Conviction is one of the best games I've played not only this gen, but all time...Only thing I don't like is the U-play feature implemented to " bribed " people to sign up with Ubisoft...Here's the demo that was released on XBL...it's a developers walk through and there are 2...same demo but many different ways to play it...this is the assault version....ENJOY....

Boody-Bandit5132d ago (Edited 5132d ago )

cez of rage are you saying this tongue in cheek or are you actually being serious? SCC is a decent game, possibly (and this is just my opinion and at the same time I am being overly generous) a great game. But one of the best you have played this generation and possibly one of the best of all time? Come on man. Either you don't play many games, living in the moment kind of gamer or you have to be kidding / sarcastic.

SCC was just an okay game for me. It was really short. Wasn't a fan of the online modes and the characters (voice actors) seemed to just go through the motions but then again the story was so cliche I couldn't blame them for appearing to be disjointed. Even when Sam found out the truth and who was behind it (not to say spoilers for those yet to play it) his rage and overly heavy breathing was laughable. I was embarrassed for Ironside and I dig him in movies.

More of my friends that bought SCC didn't even complete the game then friends that actually did. Most of them were disappointed in the direction TC took Splinter Cell. Me? I never purchase a game and not finish it but I have no desire to play it any more and I polished off most of the achievements in a couple days.

Chubear5132d ago (Edited 5132d ago )

by the end of the year, what true console exclusives will the 360 ACTUALLY have? Aid me in informing me cause the way I see it

PS3: MAG, Heavy Rain, GoW3, 3Dot Heros, Last Guardian, DC Universe, Motorstorm3, MOD Nation Racers, Resistance3, Trinity Universe, SOCOM4,

360: Alan Wake and Halo

..the picture even looks more glum when you ask of platform exclusives

Oh, disagress? Well then inform me; If I've missed out on any 360 exclusive then educate and inform me. I thought of putting down Fable3 but I didn't think that was in anyways said to be coming this year by developers or MS but hey, I might be wrong so pls, give me some info

corneliuscrust5131d ago

Maybe you got disagrees because it's a cheap jab and frankly, no one cares?

People play the system they want, whether you hate on that system or not.

Does the 360 have good games on it? Sure

Is it a cheap way to play some of the great titles of this generation? Sure.

If someone has fun playing it, that's all they really need.

Chubear5131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

Why weren't people like you saying that in the 1st 2/3yrs of the PS3? Why, when every naysayer and media outlet were shouting "THE PS3 HAS NO GAMES! WHY BUY IT!?!" weren't you saying what you just said?

Yeah, mighty convenient now that the 360 in later years is getting an utter beat down with games, and have shown it's the one that truly has no games, do you now get the "Oh, they're both great systems. Be a gamer not a hater" comments

2yrs ago, I was hard pressed to see comments like yours but now they're everywhere. Real convenient. lol

Disagree ALL you want, as long as YOU know the 360 really has no games for a 5yr old console. 4 disagrees but no one gives me the list of all the 360 "exclusives" I missed. Uhmm, yeah, sucks to be on the other end of the shoe uh?... Good.

this title gets overshadowed quite easily.

if i saw this game for 5 dollars at gamestop, i would save the 5 and go home and play metal gear solid 4. ORRRRRRR, just wait for gabe logan. HE is coming, and is bound to push the "standards" bar even higher.

FACTUAL evidence5132d ago

This will be a cool edition to the ps3. I have this on my 360, not the best game, but if you have a friend the co-op could be badass.

aaron58295132d ago (Edited 5132d ago )

... is one of those games that i really would love to play

This and alan wake got my interest.. too bad i got no xbox360

Inside_out5132d ago (Edited 5132d ago )

I thought I'd add the stealth version of the above demo guys...again...this is the developer playing...watch for the different lighting to let you know you are hidden as well as the gadget menu he uses....this was to show the fans that stealth is always an option...Check it out...ENJOY...

BTW...you can't pass the 2 guys in the beginning of the demo...lol...Mark n execute never gets old....AWESOME game...I tried at least 10 times to sneak by those guys in the factory the same way he did and always got spotted...the AI goes crazy when they smell blood....LMAO...

Game took me 8+ hrs on realistic....INCREDIBLE story with a WTF moment a couple hrs in...Loved every minute....

Sarcasm5132d ago

When will this end? The game is average.

Christopher5132d ago (Edited 5132d ago )

I'm thinking November release, making that the 6-month mark for a timed exclusive. Perfect time for Holiday shopping.

@Sarcasm: Any game that can reach more gamers, regardless if it's the best thing since sliced bread or not, is always good news. Heavy Rain on 360 would be a boon, so would SC:C on the PS3.

avengers19785132d ago

Hopefully they improve the game for the PS3 version. If they just port that crappy game then no thanks I'll pass.

Convas5132d ago

You know, the only people who are REALLY interested in the amount of exclusives are the people on this site. Most folks, just wanna play games.

So, no, I'm not going to give you a damn thing. You enjoy your exclusives, and I'll enjoy GAMES, Exclusives, Multiplats, Arcade Games, whatever the hell I want.

Oh, and by the way, half the exclusives you named haven't even been released yet. Talk about blowing your load prematurely.

I used to have an xbox 360. And man, do i ever want SC to come to PS3. The only 2 games i'll miss are Gears Of War and Splinter Cell! PLEASE COME TO PS3!

Xulap5132d ago

I also used to own a 360, and I really would like to play Splinter Cell: Conviction on my PS3. Oh, and Mass Effect 2!(since I beat the first on the 360)

N4GAddict5132d ago

I don't see why not if Ubisoft wants more money.

THC CELL5132d ago

I want new rainbow six not splinter cell

DelbertGrady5132d ago

Amen to that! I think I've read somewhere that a new Rainbow Six is in development. Terrorist hunt ftw!

aaron58295132d ago

but did Vegas 2 ended the story ?

CyberCam5132d ago (Edited 5132d ago )

I would much rather another publisher/developer make the game because Ubisoft have screwed up the R6 franchise (with the exception of Raven Shield). Also, I really wish the game was developed using another engine besides the UE3!!! I would be interested in seeing it use the CE3!

Actually they should give that franchise back to Red Storm Entertainment!

CyberCam5132d ago

According to VGCharts SCC sold (to date) just under the 1 million mark... not the greatest numbers for a AAA game exclusive, especially how much $$$ it took and how long it's been in development. I would be willing to bet that they (Ubisoft) would want to make a profit from all that time developing the game!

Doc Sony5132d ago

Under the million ?

But I thought 360 exclusives were supposed to sell 4-5 million on day one.

A massive flop by xbot standards.

BeaArthur5132d ago

Poster boy for the open zone.

Hank Hill5132d ago

How is that an open zone post Bea, he's telling the truth.

aaron58295132d ago

I dont know the exact numbers.. but, really, if i have an xbox.. i'd definately buy the game... looks fun.

CyberCam5132d ago (Edited 5132d ago )

VGCharts says the sales are around 980,000 worldwide. Of course we know that VGC aren't the most reliable sources, however they are never too far off, one way or another.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

I don't own a 360 myself but that doesn't mean I wish for their exclusives to fail. I like to see both consoles do well because competition breeds better games!

We can hope. Especially if the rumors of Cillian Murphy and Alaska are true.

RaidenBlack5d ago

That'd be too good if true.
But Henderson also leaked that next Far Cry setting was targeting some asian island.

jznrpg4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

With their shitty practices I really don’t care what Ubisoft announces until they reverse their course

Relientk775d ago

Assassin's Creed Hexe is what I wanna hear about most. Yes I wanna play as a witch with magic during the 16 century witch trials in Germany (as per rumors). Sign me up

Huey_My_D_Long5d ago

Yeah, Hex sounds amazing to me as well, and I've been playing since AC 1. I'm real curious how are they gonna fit the magic into the game, maybe in similar way the dlc introduced gods and god abilities. but I love that I've heard its gonna have a horror vibe.

Garethvk5d ago

Hopefully it is full of good stuff.

RaidenBlack5d ago

The studio just completed Avatar and busy with Outlaws and also got their F2P Heartland cancelled ... IMO, Division 3 will surely come but it'll take more time.
I'd be most thrilled if Ubisoft greenlits a sequel or at least a remake of the studio's first game i.e World in Conflict

anast5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

I would get hyped about Hexe. If the rumors are true, UBI might get a gold edition purchase out of me.

Demetrius5d ago

Hopefully gameplay of ac shadows or star wars outlaws, if they finally announce the new far cry I'm definitely getting that, far cry still fun af and gorgeous games, yeah ubisoft has their faults but atleast they're not copying souls like games their titles still have identity

neutralgamer19925d ago

We will definitely see gameplay for star wars and AC. Farcry let's see

OtterX5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

I'm going to be an outlier amongst the rest of these comments.... give us something NEW! I'm pretty burnt out on Ubisoft franchises, unless you're giving us a new Rayman game!

*Edit - imagine what they could do with a Rayman 3D game in this day and age. I say now is the time to revisit the series.

RaidenBlack5d ago

Would love a AAA PoP too or a back to roots Ghost Recon (none of the open world stuff)

MeatyUrologist5d ago

Hell yes! Ghost recon in the style of the originals with real consequences, permanent and all!

jznrpg4d ago

I love Rayman, played it a ton with my kids years ago. But Ubisoft puts dumb crap in their games. MTs , paid tiers , always online requirement for single player games and as they stand now I could see them doing that to Rayman

OtterX4d ago

Yea unfortunately, you're right. :'(

Garethvk5d ago

Beyond Good and Evil 2: It is coming really; we promise.

OtterX5d ago

Their microtransaction monetization scheme on it will lie somewhere between good and evil!

Haha JK.... it'll be completely evil. 🙃

That should please everyone I'm sure...

RpgSama12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Feudal Japan DEI LGBTQ+ Samurai, sounds very accurate for the time period. Surely a decision made only with historical accuracy in mind.

Crows9012d ago

Or even modern day accuracy.....

Lexreborn212d ago

You have no idea what you are talking about, bet you didn’t know nobunaga was bi-sexual. Or ran maru his is often depicted as androgynous was a “beautiful boy”.

So yeah, feudal Japan had tons of lgbtq and kawaii enough… A BLACK SAMURAI! All without the need of offending a Caucasian because the world is diverse.

VenomUK12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

This story has cracked me up so much! Bravo Ubisoft, bravo! 🤣. So last week everyone was upset that in the long-awaited first Assassin’s Creed: Japan game the protagonist is black. But NOW he is also LGBTQ+ ! It’s like the Ubisoft creative team sat around a table and said “How can we best impress our Kotaku/IGN/Polygon friends and antagonise gamers? Let’s make it woke x 100!’ And then they all silent clapped!

Just you wait until the Star Wars: Outlaws details come out, there better not be anybody complaining about Kay Vess’ dating preferences and the gay droid armies.

Christopher12d ago

It actually is.

Japanese were very Greek in their sexual experiences.

lodossrage12d ago

Lexreborn2 is right

Go read up on Japan's feudal era homosexuality and bisexuality was a very common thing in that time.

I just have to laugh because the same people complaining about this are the same ones crying about wanting "historical accuracy". When it's clear most of the whiners don't even know history themselves.

Christopher12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Facts don't care about downvotes, btw. You either claim to understand historical accuracy or you just admit you don't like the stuff people did throughout history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

thorstein12d ago

Japan had no Christian stupidity about sexuality.

That's where your nonsensical puritanical view comes from: the Abraham's faiths.

It's feudal Japan, they don't believe in your religion's made up nonsense.

I mean, if you're going to embrace a particular viewpoint, you should at least be aware of where it comes from. Most of the world doesn't care about your ideals.

In those days, they certainly didn't care about your religion.

Get over yourself.

RpgSama12d ago

All of you guys missed the point, I even said I'm very sure they did it ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate. Stop defending this, we all know why they did it and who they want to pander, it's not out newfound respect for history.

lodossrage12d ago

@RpgSama

Nobody is defending anything.

People are just pointing out the fact that after they just cried about the game not being historically accurate, when they SHOW they're accurate, they cry about it because they don't like certain parts of history

Not to mention you contradicted yourself RPGSama. You just pointed out you said they "ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate". Then turn around and accuse them of pandering and/or having an agenda. Those two things are opposing statements

Cacabunga12d ago

Dumbest decision ever.. always online was a pass for me but now not even for free I’ll try it..

LordoftheCritics12d ago

It's made by Ubisoft Montreal.

Obviously we'll be allowed to bang anything that moves.

RiseNShine12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Yeha pretty sure.

H911d ago

People actually telling you that Japan had sexual deviancy which is correct however what's hilarious is that they will act as if it holds the same moral value that the LGBT community holds today, oh the things men used to say about themselves when they are attracted to other men, it's not empowering in the least bit

senorfartcushion11d ago

It was more common to be attracted to the same sex before the crusades.

11d ago
Tapani11d ago

You are completely lost on Japanese history. Japan was one of the most liberal places in the world, and in many ways still is. You can slice and dice it from your western hubris and whatever point of view, but the reality is that history tells great stories about freedom of choice and people not being judgemental on this island. Also one of the reasons I want to raise my family here, no need to have those whatever Western woke bullshit here, because everyone just respects each other without using all that nonsense.

PRIMORDUS12d ago

Barlos12d ago

Hell no. A good game or film is secondary now to the agenda and the 'message'.

It's not enough to be simply entertained these days, there has to be an overarching real world narrative. I mean look at Dr Who as a recent example. Disney have completely destroyed it all in the name of 'diversity'.

senorfartcushion11d ago

You sound like you don't have a very active sex life ,😅

CrimsonWing6911d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Are you projecting? 😝

senorfartcushion11d ago

It's the only thing that explains the incel crap. They can't simply be angry virgins who don't get any, so then a lack of a sex life i.e. a dad of three or something, is also a good additional explanation. They're either lonely and don't get any or too busy to get any. There's a horrible news for sexual control with incels, and they're angry because they simply aren't the right people to achieve that control. They're weaker animals.

notachance11d ago

dude’s too busy commenting on other people’s sex life to actually stay on topic.

That or he’s angry but didn’t have half the brain needed to refute back so he went for the classic ad hominem fallacy.

senorfartcushion11d ago

Notachance

It's a fact that remains true. The only way it can't be true is if humans were not greedy and heavily reliant on procreation.

Your username is fitting.

CrimsonWing6911d ago (Edited 11d ago )

dude, let’s be real, you’re on a video game news site going into the comments section and taking time out of your life to go to war with people you think don’t f*ck. You sound as much of a virgin as any incel does.

Let’s be real, bub you’re just as pathetic as the rest of them. Anyone who would look at this who doesn’t waste their time on a video game news site or video games in general probably thinks the only thing you f*ck is your crusty ass pillow.

C’mon, man. Anyone who f*cks doesn’t immediately go into a comment section claiming others have no sex life. It’s just one of those things if you are getting your d*ck wet. It just comes off like you’re projecting in hopes to god nobody figures out you can’t get any, so you try to flex, even though you’re completely full of sh*t.

I mean, that’s the only thing that makes sense to me 😅.

senorfartcushion10d ago

I'm engaged without children - I'm doing just fine.

This is just nerd sites now. Users are just so angry and for basically the same reasons. Most people go through phases with this type of stuff but it's scary seeing the same attitudes being regurgitated over and over again. From what I've seen it's a strange mix of sexual frustration, lack of proper financing and the need to have 100% control over both so that they aren't taken away from the users.

CrimsonWing6910d ago

@fartcushion

Look, man, people are allowed to have opinions and show frustration with stuff. It has no bearing on them not getting sex or not making money.

I have no idea how people commenting on being tired of hearing about SJW sh*t being shown in the spotlight like some carnival sideshow where publishers are wanting some pat on the back for means they’re financially unstable and don’t have a sexual relationship.

What, are you on the spectrum? Like how do you come to that conclusion and make multiple responses to the discourse with “virgin alert” or “you need to have sex?” That right there is kind of sus to me.

I don’t know in what world you lived in where this hasn’t been a nerd site, but people are allowed to comment their thoughts on things and still have relationships. You’re just as much of a nerd as everyone in here.

Ubisoft to Focus on "Return to Leadership" in Open World Genre, Expand Live Service Experiences

Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.

Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.

excaliburps20d ago

Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.

shinoff218319d ago

What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen

If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?
