HD-enabled television sets are all the rage these days, but HD programming itself hasn't yet picked up to the same extent, according to an online survey by ABI Research.

They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.
Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Xbox and EA have recently made baffling moves that define how bleak the future of the gaming industry is with major companies at the helm. Ryan Bates from "Last Word on Gaming" posits in this op-ed that maybe it's not ineptitude, but intention.
Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.
Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.
If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard
As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
I have a few select channels that are in HD Signal. i'm just waiting for 100% HD ;D
I'm waiting for digital to kick in, in 2009. I'm also not interested in paying for a cable box then paying like $20 a month for 20 hd channels. HD programming is a rip-off right now. Plain and simple.
Whats wierd is, my two cousins have Samsung HDTV's. On non cable channels like FOX and KCAL9 and abc, the picture on their 1080p TV's is grainy and color is messed up and crappy
Whereas on my 7 year old Panasonic SDTV the picture on these channels is fine
You could even say, TV producers are working with cable providers to give us a helluva price to pay, after spending thousands on overpriced HDTV's
The situation in Canada is even more grim for those that want to receive HDTV signals in that unless you live close to the border and install a roof top antenna (to pick up over-the-air American HD broadcasts) or are willing to subscribe to digital satellite or cable, you are SOL. Broadcasters in Canada will start broadcasting HDTV over-the-air in select markets starting this summer, but I am not holding my breath.
Programming is really lacking (trust me I've had my plasma since returning to the states in '03 and there wasn't anything back then), but at least there is something.
This info might explain why DirecTV has that completely ridiculous ad with the lady saying she didn't know that she needed HD programming when she bought her HD set...WTF? Could be people are buying these sets with no clue about HD or the programming. Can't tell you how excited I get when I see that Comcast has added some more channels...
