Rumour: Splinter Cell Conviction Going "Back to the Drawing Board"

Metal Gear Solid 4? Big deal, right? Look at the Xbox 360 line-up for 2008; it contains titles like Ninja Gaiden 2, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Gears of War 2, and Splinter Cell Conviction. Oh, wait, one of those titles won't be hitting this year after all. It appears that 360 owners won't be enjoying an espionage experience this year with Splinter Cell Conviction because the title is being taken "back to the drawing board" by Ubisoft Montreal.

1.3 - It uses the Assassin's Creed engine.

I beat AC and the ONLY good thing about it was the graphics and animation. The combat was utterly boring and repetitive. It didn't even feel like a game. SCC uses the same engine. I'm glad they realized the problem.

Why did the title of this article not have the word "Rumor" in it like the original article does?

Oh right. Because it gets more hits that way.

Sigh.

Not saying the news in the article isn't true. It could very well be true. But if you're going to submit an article with the word rumor in the TITLE, then you damn well better include the word in YOUR title as well.

But then I guess N4G has never been the place for anything remotely resembling journalistic integrity. So carry on, I guess.

1.6 - Thank God.

I can't imagine who thought "HAY GUYS U PLAY A BUM WHO SHOOTS HOTDOG STANDS" would make for a good splinter cell game. Honestly, they need to push back to the original, or Chaos Theory. Double Agent was ok, but I hated that "between mission" junk. Give me traditional Tom Clancy: A briefing, get in, do the mission, get out, an after-action report.

If I wanted crowd-based action I'd play GTA. If I wanted urban shooting (a-la Double Agent) I'd play Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon. I play Splinter Cell because I like the challenge of remaining unseen. The stealth is what makes it fun, not the shooting mechanics.

Woah Holiday 2009/Early 2010 is a massive delay, wtf is this Final Fantasy? lol.

I think they are going to put more of the stealth stuff back in, that's the only difference it had between MGS, Splinter Cell used to be very good and complex in the stealth area whereas MGS used a simple form of stealth.

eat some tomatoes, they make you smarter!

lol so what? hiding underneath tables, and ooooooooooo throwing chairs is equal to next gen gameplay? because thats better........LOL

fool

its evident that this game sucks (just like the last couple of them) and is gonna be rebuilt from the ground up, heavily following the next gen barrier that mgs4 will BREAK. Notice i said FOLLOW. therefore following in the footsteps of a innovator and leader but never surpassing the genius behind mgs4.
ubisoft will copy alot of mgs4.....imitation is a form of flattery and sam fisher has lost its roots while attempting to become snake for the past 3 years. SO the comparison doesnt have to be forced its pretty apparent who sam fisher WANTS TO BE.....unfortunately for sc fans, he fails like a blind/mute bum at a shooting range.
Youve got to be kidding me if you cant tell this series was heading down the drains long before they mentioned using a chair as a weapon, to be the most exciting part of the game.

innovation owns imitation...im sure kojima is laughing right now at sc being scrapped and sent back to the drawing board. At the end of the day theyre can only be 1 top spot, and kojima productions have that spot secured for a while to come.

dont believe me, you can witness it starting june 12th.
sam fisher got owned, and so did you right now. trade some of your bubbles for some tomatoes, youll be better off.

1.13 - Actually....

Assassins Creed used the Splinter Cell: Conviction Engine. Then Splinter Cell Conviction was put on ice to complete Assassins Creed. The Engine was further developed during this process.

I'm not exactly sure what good the current engine will do for the Splinter Cell franchise. I can see why, it may be overhauled. I wouldn't doubt it goes back to it's stealth/espionage roots.

WOW. Looks like my SC hating was justified. End of 2009 sucks though. Wouldn't be surprised if a ps3 version found its way in too. If they are going to do splinter cell right, they should definitely put it out on ps3. I played all the splinter cells on playstation except for double agent so i hope they make it happen

In the end, taking that game back to the drawing board was the best decision yet. Not every idea works.

Greysturm - 579 days 11 hours ago

6 - Well....

The problem of ubisoft is that it was obvious after the first 3 installments that they didnt have the slightest idea where they wanted to take the series. The first couple of installments were frankly expansion packs not sequels and when they broke away from it with double agent it was clear that they were out of ideas to improve the series.

Even though mg haters and splintercell fans dont wanna admit it, splinter cell lacks any links between the installments. There is no character development, no backstory and nothing that relates the series besides the same game mechanics and the same main characters. The only redeeming feature of the series was its multiplayer where they actually found a pace and innovation beyond the competition. In my opinion the series should continue with the coop stealth mechanics and refine upon them even if that means leaving fisher behind in the shadows.

I agree. I am a Metal Gear and Splinter Cell fan and for me, the big draw of MG was the story while SC was the gameplay. Each did its thing well, but SC:DA was a misstep and I can see Ubi trying to figure out how to get the series back on track.

6.2 - Yep

That's pretty much it... BUT

I think that if they keep their concept and maybe added a new more interesting simple story, it could be a great game in a FUN sense.

They don't need to re-do the series IMO they can still give us SC fans more of the same, but with more creative ways to spy, or more creative kills and locations etc.

There's much they can do without reinventing the concept or the story.

I always enjoy SC gameplay for its cool way of presenting the spy concept and atmosphere of being undetected.. NOW,for story and epic feeling? I play MGS.

In my opinion SC peaked with Chaos Theory. The first 3 games were excellent to play and each was better than the last but DA really let me down and the way this next one was looking I was really getting disappointed in the series. Hopefully they can put it on the PS3 so I can play the overhauled version when it releases because I still have hope.

I didn't like the direction they were taking with Sam with the whole blending in to society thing with no stealth. Now I find out the were using the Assassins Creed Engine and it makes since what they were doing. I think they need to stick with tradition and not make a Assassins Sam Fisher game.

MGS4 had very little impact on conviction because they are completely different games. The only way MGS4 could have impact is if they were afraid to be eclipsed by MGS4 sales. However that wouldn't necessarily mean going back to the drawing board because they could just release it a couple of months after MGS4.

They did however get a good look at MGS4 with the whole assassins creed MGS4 deal. So maybe they were intimidated by a lot of that stuff or they got a lot of really good ideas from it and they decided to re do their game

Splinter Cell Conviction is supposed to be a pretty big title. Releasing it as is and having it suck or not be fun would be getting owned, Homicide. After all, who wants another Lair? Having games be chronically delayed because the console is difficult to program for would be a problem, but the occasional delaying of a 360 exclusive for quality assurance reasons is no big deal.

Yeah it sucks that it won't be out anytime soon, but the end result is that we will get a much better Splinter Cell Conviction because of it, so 360 owners will be better off in the end.

We won't have any shortage of games this year, especially in the fall. I'm sure there's a couple yet-to-be-announced treats in there as well. Now go play MGS and LBP and quit worrying about us :-D

"Do you know what happens when you rush things? RROD happens!!!"

-- You're absolutely right. There is a bright side to MS rushing out the 360 to market though. Thanks to all of the negative RROD press, you can bet that future Xbox designs will be put through the ringer before being rushed to market. MS deserved to have to set aside a billion bucks for rushing out the 360. Thank God my 360 runs cool to the touch and is kept well-ventilated. Mine was bought in late Jan. '06.

If there's a 30% failure rate for the EARLY systems though, that means the majority work. Most people that have a 360 will tell you that the gaming experience simply cannot be beat, and it is very true. The unmatched game catalog and Live make the system.

And yes, patience is definitely a virtue. I encourage games being delayed ALWAYS, rather than having a product released that sucks.

LOL @ AngryXbot - Trust me friend, I'm a very happy 360 customer. One of the reasons I like the 360 better is because I like its style of game play better. It's more of a western themed console (hey, it's from the west, go figure). Not to mention, I think most games look and run better on the 360. I like the way the handle with the controller better too. I was never a fan of the PS controller.

The whole 2008 lineup issue is your opinion. Gears 1.5? Wait and see my friend. I've seen the videos on my 1080P TV, and it's breathtaking. Let's save the arguing until AFTER it comes out. Ninja Gaiden II? You're just jealous that the true sequel is on Xbox. Banjo Kazooie? I've never played any version in this franchise, maybe I'll check out a demo if they have one. This isn't usually the type of game I'd buy.

By the way, Splinter Cell isn't "gone", it's delayed. There's a difference. I'm sure you know about delays all to well. In the end though, if delaying means producing a better game, it's a good thing isn't it? Think of how many classic games wouldn't be as good if they stuck to the original deadlines.

If you like your PS3 lineup, then that's great. I'm not saying it doesn't have a stronger lineup. It's unrealistic to expect your console of choice to have a stronger lineup every year, or on a monthly basis. It just ain't gonna happen.

Back to your question, am I discouraged I didn't get a PS3? If I had a PS3 right now, along side my 360, I'd still play my 360 more. I like raising my Gamerscore, not to mention most of my friends are on Live.

But the difference is that programmers don't have to learn a whole new type of code to program for with the 360. The sole reason the 360 games are delayed is because they simply are behind schedule or want to change the way the game is, not because of programming issues. When the games finally get here, the added quality of the titles will be worth the wait. Not to mention, it just makes next year's lineup that much stronger!

Microslaves continue to wait for a quality product for their Waitbox 360. Dark Sniper will be enjoying the remainder of this 2008 onslaught that PLAYSTATION®3 is placing on the inferior platform.

Wait In.

Snake could care less. Ubi won't come close. The best they can hope for is to recover the series after the monumental damage they did with that piece of crap DA.

19 - DAm, That was a game worth waiting for.

im actually pretty upset to hear ubisoft screwed themselves modeling the game after assasins creed.

When I used to have a xbox i loved the splinter cell games. Every single game! I hope that going back to the drawing board means they are gonna multi-plat this splinter cell game. When looking at a business stand-point XBOX 360 is losing stock with the people who now hate the xbox 360. It makes sense to let the xbox 360 die properly then put a multi-plat splinter cell game out.Hell, What ps3 did for EA can be done for Ubisoft!

Im rally curious to know why Sam would help Anna with anything. Especially, since he lost everything for his country. If I were Sam I would probly wait to die and become a Burglar.

I think ubisoft is the next EA because their games are being watered down & people still believe in them. I think they suck now & Im not holding there studios in high regard for games I want. They make games to rent.

Splinter Cell always has been and will forever be a second rate, Madden-style churn it out every year franchise. Tossing a few kibbles of new gameplay to the ravenous junkies that buy the same crap ad naseum. Ever since its debut, I find it underwhelming. The game tops tiresome, exacting repetition with garbage controls. I could never have fun simply screwing around in the stages and with the enemies as I could in the MSG titles. I remember in "Chaos Theory" you were tasked with sneaking into a gaurded mansion, if one camera saw you it was a wrap. Oh, and by the way: the cameras were bulletproof and indestructible. That is a perfect example of why Spinter cell is sh!t, right there.
