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"

F*ckin might as well wait next year for this game

LenHart5847d ago

since UBI makes most of their money from europe and PS3 is the only next gen console besides wii which sells in europe .

By next year PS3 would have 2x/3x the base as x360 in europe.

wait for ur other games on BROKENBOX 3fixme

Alan wake/halo wars are also delayed to next year

oh wait what happened to Ninja Giaden 2/warlords/Lost planet colonies??

JOLLY15847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

Wait...now most are 5's? Weird, yesterday it was 8's now 5's.....buy a clue nasim!

This is from all 10 reviews

90VideoGamer
This is action gaming at its very best.

90GameDaily
If you're a hardcore player, you owe it to yourself to pick it up and dominate it. If you're a rookie, this is a fine place to start earning your stripes.

90GameTap
While Ninja Gaiden II is a difficult game, it's also far more forgiving than the original (particularly on the acolyte setting) and it gives you ample opportunities to beef up your skills and become a master ninja.

88Game Informer
If there ever was a game developed for the attention deficient, this is it. Ninja Gaiden's action is so fast bullets would have trouble keeping up. But since it's is action game and not a round of golf, this intensity is pretty flippin' awesome.

87IGN
Ninja Gaiden II is easily one of the best action games on Xbox 360.

80Destructoid
Fans of high-speed action titles can't go wrong; in fact, they'd be foolish to look anywhere else for anything better this generation. It's just disappointing that Ninja Gaiden II -- which is said to be the last in the series -- isn't quite the flawless masterpiece I’d hoped for

80Computer and Video Games
The sequel packs the same punch as the original but it's just not different enough.

70Games Radar
So those of us who aren't down with the difficulty level are going to want to play a game that utilizes the Xbox 360's potential with a balanced difficulty level that compliments the solid gameplay - and thereby restore self esteem - leaving Itagaki's insatiable bloodlust to the hardcore crowd that loves it so.

70EuroGamer
There's a difference between kicking your arse until you learn from it, and kicking your arse until you get lucky, and Ninja Gaiden 2 fails that crucial test all too often.

671UP
This is a game for Ninja Gaiden fans, who will play it on the toughest difficulties and upload their best playthrough videos online. For those purposes, it excels; for less devoted action-adventure fans, it's more of a violent curiosity than something to get invested in.

That's only 3 at 70 or below...Oh noes....facts!!!! *watches nasim start to melt*

PR0NE5847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

who is the hell nasim? everytime someone speaks words that don't fit the x360 fans aspirations, they accuse him of being nasim, get another excuse, o_O and am i going to be called nasim? now that would be funny...

JOLLY15847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

nasim is one guy that gets down to one bubble, then creates a new account. If you read his comments he spams the exact same stuff over and over. That is how we all figure out it is him. nasim was his first name (that I know of). Since I have been on the site he has had over 5 different accounts. If you watch you will easily be able to pick out his rants. He always runs off when people show him that he is an idiot. You will always find him talking about how the 360 is completely dead everywhere. You will see him talking about false numbers. How he predicts "game x" is going to sell 1,000,000,000 more on ps3. They are comical at first...then you read it in the same story 5 times!!!! (or 4....or 3....depending on how many bubbles he has)

PR0NE5847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

[sarcasm]k thanks for your insightful argument...[/sarcasm]

[another shot at sarcasm]but J.V. i didn't know that you're nasim, man why are you doing that?[/sarcasm]

hey J.V.(Lenhart), if you bother, would you mind clearing that out for the folks here?

@Jolly1, if you disagree with someone, show where he's wrong by facts and don't just make accusations....

6/10 for NG2 from Gamereactor

Oh yea it got 67% from 1up too

so that makes it 4 websites

CVG gave it 8/10 and so it one other websites

But wait not all are like IGN

they wont give it even 6/10

as soon as a new NG2 review comes out i am gonna post it here

:)

U heard that JOLLY aka ROUNDPEG

6/10 from Gamereactor

PR0NE5847d ago

hey dude, don't play the same game as him, just ignore it...

JOLLY15847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

either you suck at sarcasm, or I am sleepy, but that made no sense. It isn't on metacritic nasim. but if you have to have a 6/10...fine! there are 4/11 reviews for NG2 at 70% or under....That is still less than 50%, but as long as you are happy kid.

*edit* Oh goody! I am now roundpeg too! I don't talk bad about the ps3 though. I give it props, I only talk bad about you.

Prone, I did show facts. He said that NG2 had mostly 5's. I didn't know if he was right, so I went to metacritic and got all of that websites review score. I proved that he was wrong.

PR0NE5847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

well let me show where you're wrong...
quote:"nasim is one guy that gets down to one bubble, then creates a new account" Lenhart still has five bubbles, and 6 CRank, and in a matter of fact i know Lenhart since some time now... and my sarcasm was intended at your reasoning which failed to prove that Lenhart is another accounts of the guy so called Nasim, and the other part of sarcasm was intended at Len because he didn't bother arguing, but perhaps he's right, sometimes things should be ignored and not be stirred... anyway, we're in the open zone,SO hello name calling...

So, i don't like the way discussion is made here even if it's called open zone, there should be some mutual respect between members... and i am not saying that the mistakes lies on one side, but if this continues more people will be carried away with this, and the quality will become even lower.

JOLLY15847d ago

since he created his NEW account this month when his old account went down to only 1 bubble.

PR0NE5847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

supposing that you're right, and i highly doubt it(i know you're not), what good can come out of accusations? you call him NSM and he calls you POG(no pun intended) so both of you don't prove anything, and it's just annoying to people reading comments...

@below: okay this conversation is fruitless, but i don't think that you proved anything...

JOLLY15847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

It's fine that I PROVED you wrong also. I just talk to him in his first name, so it's easier for me. I don't have to try and remember a different name every month.

You might not think, but I know.

LenHart5847d ago

this JOLLY is the new account of SNUKADAMAN /SNUKADAWOMAN actually

She has other accounts too --GAM71 and ARIEXV

You will always see her answering AFTER SNUKADAMAN /Gam71/Ariexv

JOLLY15847d ago

I don't think I have ever posted after these people. New account? from '06? Good try little guy..

caffman5846d ago

I wouldn't defend nasim, he is pretty much hated across the board by 360 and PS3 fans. And he does have a very distinct way of writing that is quite obvious. Like Darksniper

I just don't know why Ubisoft wont comment on the rumors about Conviction "Going back to the drawing board". But I think that it's safe to say that Conviction wont be coming out until mid-late 2009 or possibly later. But I'm pretty sure that Conviction will be at E3... I guess, ha ha!

Bellic Jr5847d ago

Conviction looked like a hobo simulator. Come correct now.

ustayclassyn4g5847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

spare change lol
it's good they're able to take their time with the gane and not have it rushed out like ubi did with AC.

chaosatom3335847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

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.

iNcRiMiNaTi5847d ago

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

beavis4play5847d ago

i'm putting that phrase in my "keepin it real" dictionary. bubbles for you!

Bellic Jr5847d ago (Edited 5847d ago )

"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

hahahah i think they are cookiging up something special=) and itsonly on the 360 ps splinter cell franshice is better than mgs franchise fact wayyyy more in depth and realistic

Alexander Roy5847d ago

"hahahah i think they are cookiging up something special=) and itsonly on the 360 ps splinter cell franshice is better than mgs franchise fact wayyyy more in depth and realistic"

Fun fact: "shice" is a modern german bastardization of "Scheiße", which means sh|t - as most know, I think.
Yeah, I agree that SC is (a) "franshice". But hey, what do I expect when the biggest fan of the "franshice" never attended grammar school - pun intended.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

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

hiawa231873d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351873d ago (Edited 1873d ago )

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

Z5011873d ago

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

Bane351873d ago (Edited 1873d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931873d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

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

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

Gwiz1873d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1873d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1873d ago
Movefasta19931873d 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.

Gaming4Life19811872d 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.

bluebenjamin1873d 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

Movefasta19931873d ago

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

Z5011872d 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.

Gaming4Life19811872d 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.

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

lxeasy2162d ago

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

ApexWolf222162d 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.

AG1002162d ago

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

Goldby2162d ago

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

yomfweeee2162d ago

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

BQ322162d ago

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

annoyedgamer2162d ago

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

lxeasy2162d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome
