Splinter Cell: Conviction - A Letter From The Dev Team

"Hi guys,

It's been a while since our last message but we're happy to say that development of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction is continuing well and the game is shaping up nicely. The team here is very dedicated and focused to making sure that Conviction turns into an amazing experience of Splinter Cell.

There are lots of rumours flying around right now about Conviction's development status and we can tell you that the gameplay has evolved, similar to what happens in every game's development process, and you won't be disappointed. We take your feedback from these forums very seriously and, although we can't respond to each and every thing people say, we do take these posts into consideration when making the game.

Unfortunately we're not able to make Ubidays this year but in the forthcoming months we'll be back in touch to begin showing you this new installment of the Splinter Cell series.

Splinter Cell Conviction Team"

1.2 - I don't get why splinter cell is exclusive?
Have they made a partnership with Microsoft or something?
Why would Microsoft want splinter cell as a exclusive?
Are they trying to attract the ps2 audience who really really like splinter cell?

It's not a console shifter. Plus the team can make more money if gone multi platform. Isn't that what tom clancy's games want? more money. Or maybe they know that anything sells on the xbox, so they didn't make a ps3 version.

I think something like prince of Persia or lots of others series would serve better as exclusive then splinter cell games.

Splinter cell has to do something really dramatic overall if they want to gain any attention from reviewers and the general public. There was time when they were fun, but after u play one or two, then u move on.

Edit: oh ok i see.

splinter cell started out as an xbox game then was ported over to the ps2/pc. i guess this was supposed to be their mgs? not sure, this game didnt really have my interest since it strayed too far from what made this series great in the first place

"Will work for beer" Seriously though, I have always been a big fan of SC when it was done right. SC, SC:Pandora Tomorrow ,and SC:Chaos Theory were some awsome games. Ubi really lost it after Chaos Theory so that was the last one I played.

Installations like SC:Douoble Agent and i forget the name of the lastest one but they both sucked ass and strayed so far away from what made the series awsome thta SC started to look like a old lost dog to me. You ever seen a dog and could tell that he belonged to someone and he was sad because he couldnt find his way home? That what recent versions of SC remind me of.

Ubisoft really needs to get off their asses AND GO LOOK FOR THEIR DOG! He's Lost.. He's Hungry... He's Homeless.. begging for change and..and.and stealing deli meats for petes sake!!! So hopefully this delay will bring back the SC i used to love.

and Ubi........ give the Sam a bath... he looks.... STANK!

Sincerly,
Bellic Jr

Edit- Good lookin out beavis4play :D

"Everything you've heard is true. We pushed the game back until you won't care about the series anymore. We didn't want another Assasin's Creed, so we decided to take it back to square one."

Thanks for playing. Next up, the reacharound.

3.1 - Even
if they did delay the game because rumors were true and it just wasn't fun, I don't see how that's a bad thing. I'm not a Splinter Cell fan, but if I was, I would want them to get it right.

5.1 - Thing is
there has to be some kind of balance. If Konami ported MGS4 to the 360 my blood would fuggin boil and my Blood Pressure would probably shoot through the roof and I can say with 100%certainty that i would be just one of millions who felt this way.

Snake PWNS Sam even on his best day. I'm getting MGS4 so theres no need to worry about the 2nd best in tactical espionage coming to the PS3. #1(MGS4) in this genre is just days away.

Go with that.

5.2 - why would you be so upset?
why does it concern you sooo much if MGS4 gets ported? If Gears got ported to the PS3 I wouldn't really give a toss. The Ps3 would be getting a good game, like they are with bioshock.

Metal gear has always been better than splinter cell, that's a fact, but making Splinter an exclusive seems, unless there is a LOT of money from MS, silly.

7.1 - I really enjoy both series
and in all reality besides from the covert type gameplay they are not similar. MGS always has so much crazy in depth story and cut scenes going on. Splinter Cell is more action based to me. Just the meat and potatoes and skip all the story element for the most part.

At the end of the day if your a MGS fan its not 100% certain you will enjoy splinter cell and if your a splinter cell fan doesnt mean 100% probability that you will like MGS.

Ha that was probably from a long time ago too. I am sure they've been able to figure it out since then. I bet it will come out on both systems, but if not, then we still got MGS4. I guess that game was easier to make, huh...

ok I'll ask the question!! WHY IS MGS4 STILL EXCLUSIVE!!! i bet they can make more money if they made it multiplat also so it work both ways!! you wonder why splinter cell is exclusive an i wonder why MGS4 is exclusive. especially since neither game is being PUBLISHED by MS or SONY.

How about 360 cant run it with their dvd players ? i mean you can start thinking it's BS and that it would easily run on 360 .... i dont believe it would be as good , but i wouldnt bet my life on it for sure .

Bottom line they already said BR was just enough for the content they wanted , so stop asking why it isnt there . meanwhile Ubi cant never give a fricking reason ...
I remember their average naruto game according to them impossible on ps3 , and here we go with a close enough game and far better animated and looking naruto game on ps3 soon ...
If you got a deal with MS , no sweat just say so , got trouble with the PS3 no sweat again just say so ...

As for splinter , i wont miss it , i dislike the serie quite frankly and wont touch it again on any platform .
I would just hope for their sake they remove the hobo look , or rather the Condemmned 2's hero cloned look . I also just hope for actual fan of the series they wont plainly just rehash assassin creed in a modern setting .

I'm not feeling ubi's new titles at all lately ... with a haze that's only better than timeshift in multi , with a new prince of persia looking like a badly cellshaded copy of ninja gaiden and their overall lack of originality .

The quality of Rainbow 6 vegas 2 was an embarassement on both consoles imo

i'm only surprised so far by farcry 2 , who imo still dont get that much positive attraction from the name , and looks actually quite a whole lot better than what the title might suggest .

Right now overall i'm even lamenting , even though i was die hard against it , that EA didnt manage to buy them .

The Splinter Cell series is by far the best pure stealth series on the market...It's a great real world alternative to vampires, floating psychics, fat men on roller blades and ridiculously pretentious stories...And this is coming from a huge Metal Gear fan.

I prefer the gameplay of the series to any of the Metal Gears and I still love Metal Gear. The point of this is to stave off comments of "fanboy" and so on.

That being said, I wasn't excited about Conviction at all because of the new direction the series is taken...I don't want hand to hand combat in a Splinter Cell game. I want to sneak around, unseen and snuff people from afar or behind. I'm hoping the rumors of this game being reworked turn out to be true. I only wish they would at least admit that they had a bad idea and trying to right it.

14.1 - liar
how dare you insult us and say youre a MGS fan and yet claim that the story is ridiculous and pretensious, just shut your trap, SC could never compete with MGS in terms of shear greatness. MGS story is what shines, and no fan would insult its story by calling it ridiculous...
