I'll be skipping Blacklist since read the article and it states it will play like Conviction

Hufandpuf5095d ago

If it plays like Conviction then Ubi is more desperate than we thought.

NYC_Gamer5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

Ubisoft doesn't care about the Tom Clancy brand anymore....Used to love the tactical/stealth gameplay of these titles....

Rainbow Six
Ghost Recon
Splinter Cell

RioKing5095d ago

It's so sad because the Splinter Cell series was my favorite during the ps2 days...now it's all gone to sh!t :(

Seriously though, how awesome was Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory? God I missed those days....

FarCryLover1825095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

Who in their right mind liked Conviction as a SPLINTER CELL game? It was fun, sure. But I can get third person shooting from other titles. If I play a SPLINTER CELL I want stealth, non-lethal options, ability to sneak past guards, I want to lockpick, I want NIGHT VISION, THERMAL VISION, EMF VISION....not sonar vision. :3

Conviction should just be its own franchise starring Sam Fisher and restart the SC series with a new agent. That'd be good....but will never happen :(

Deputydon5095d ago

If Blacklist comes out on PS3, I'll most definitely be getting it. While it wasn't nearly the same game as the first three Splinter Cell games, it was still an incredibly good game.

Thinking of it as something other than a SC game, it was the perfect blend of stealth, action, and story.

Personally, I don't see why people dislike it so much. I played almost the entire game like a stealth game, and all they really did was take away the instant game over just because you didn't play it perfect. Aside from a few select parts, you can play nearly the entire game as a stealth game.

KingSlayer5095d ago

How about Splinter Cell: Easy Button?

FarCryLover1825095d ago

I'm really loving how everyone disliked Conviction. Glad to know that I'm not the only one.

allyc4t5095d ago

I must be the only one who didn't hate Conviction. It wasn't as good as the first 3 games, but it was leaps and bounds ahead of Double Agent.

I wish they would bring back the 2v2 spies vs. mercs MP mode. I have no clue why they stopped.

FarCryLover1825095d ago

I liked it, but it was no Splinter Cell game. Also, what was that bad with Double Agent? The SC gameplay was still there and the last gen versions were amazing, and the current gen version was still pretty good. I didn't care for the regen health but it was still a "true" SC title.

NoobJobz5095d ago

I don't think people hated Conviction. I think people are disappointed with the direction it is going. It's turning into a shooter. I still thought conviction was fun but not even close to being as good as the originals. Chaos Theory was simply amazing and Double Agent and Conviction left me scratching my head.. Why can't they be more like the first 3 games?

jaymart2k5095d ago

Splinter Cell: ConViction co-op was amazing. Now that mode was classic stealth.

NoobJobz5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

I thought a few months ago that the game was going to be more like the originals. I could have sworn they interviewed the head person and they confirmed that? But if it is a sequel like this site claims then what a letdown.

I'll try to find a link to the video, but I swear that's what I remember hearing.

Video: CVG predicts Microsoft's E3 - Durango, Splinter Cell 6, Ryse

CVG- "Word on the street is that Microsoft has been showing developers its next-generation hardware, and according to multiple sources close to the project the new Xbox console is codenamed Durango.

However, like Sony, Microsoft is still saying it won't be showing off its next home console at E3 next week. So what does it have in store for us? The obvious guesses are a little more Halo 4, perhaps some more Forza and a smidgen of Gears of War. For the less obvious guesses you'll have to watch our E3 prediction videos below."

Regardless of what we see; I'm pumped about Monday's press conference. I fly in tomorrow.

EVILDEAD3605092d ago

I'm impressed as a good a show on MS E# as anything that has been shown thus far. Fair assessments whether they are excited or not. Good stuff CVG..

Hicken5092d ago

... I hate videos that start up on their own.

from the beach5092d ago

I'm surprised they would publish this report AFTER the Judgment leak, which they clearly had no inkling of, despite making very confident predictions.

Just makes then look a bit silly.

interrergator5092d ago

well ubisoft is gona be at microsofts so i think that splinter cell might be there

Go back to roots and make multi-platform

DigitalRaptor5095d ago

I said this when there were rumours about a sequel to Conviction, that there's not much reason for Ubisoft to ignore the PS3 audience. Not anymore, especially when they released the Splinter Cell HD trilogy on PS3 only last year. Any technical reasons? Can't imagine so. Unless Microsoft has handed them a heavy cheque, I see no reason. Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed is good enough for PS3, so Splinter Cell 6 without a release on that platform is an anomaly.

cstyle5095d ago

The same holds true for Metal Gear Solid.

SAE5095d ago

No , the size of the dvd what hold kojima to release his games on the xbox360 but i hope he release his games on all possable consoles to let people experianc his amazing games , i also hope he find a way to not effict the ps3 version of his. Next game

DigitalRaptor5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

And the Metal Gear Solid games are no longer exclusive.

MGS4 is though and I think it would have been on 360 if the game hadn't been big enough to fill a dual layer Blu-ray.

otherZinc5095d ago

Oh please. This game originated on the original XBOX.

The PS3 doesnt have enough RAM to be co-op through a campaign with an open stage. If a PS3 game is to have campaign co-op, its very constricted. People can get mad but its the truth.

Ninja Gaiden 3 & Ghost Recon:Future Soldier is ruined due to simultaneous development & those of us that have relentlessly played these games know the difference.

Rainbow 6:Patriots & Splinter Cell:New, if it isn't exclusive to 360, I'm not buying them for the 1st time in the history of the franchise.

I wont throw my money away.

Solid_Malone5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

whoa dude, if you care about those issues so much, why not get it for pc? The experience will be better, nothing toned down. And plus you can still use a x360 controller.

TheSuperior 5095d ago

I hope so because i really enjoy splinter cell games. :)

bahabeast5095d ago

i need it on ps3 and im still waiting for conviction also.

TENTONGUN5095d ago

i want the same exact thing. on the original xbox it was above and beyond anything graphicaly. coviction was just average. bring back the gadgets, knife and split jump. if they bring in anything from conviction, id say one up it and add multiple enemy takedowns like the bourne movies. ubi montreal was and kinda still is my favorite developer. i hope its them making it and they do it justice

DiRtY5095d ago

UbiSoft will be on MS stage. So probably Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed III or Rainbow Six with exclusive DLC of full exclusives.

Splinter Cell 6 and beyond: five ways to save the stealth game

OXM's Edwin writes: "This was going to be a feature about how to make the stealth game mainstream-friendly, but in the nick of time, I had two Profound Realisations: (1) screw you, lowest common denominator thinking, and (2) there's no way in hell the stealth game will ever be mainstream-friendly."

NYC_Gamer5097d ago

Splinter Cell 6 won't save any type of stealth gameplay since the game will be more action based like Conviction

Kamikaze1355097d ago

Pretty much. I highly doubt it will focus on stealth. Plus...Conviction is a pretty good game.

dirigiblebill5097d ago

I have a feeling you're right. Sigh. There's always Thief 4...

Rampaged Death5097d ago

How do you know this ? I enjoyed Conviction but I'm sure I heard they were going back to its roots.

SPAM-FRITTER-1235097d ago

hey. can you please show me this video,image or article that backs up your statement.

Lord_Sloth5097d ago (Edited 5097d ago )

I hope it goes back to it's roots as a stealth game instead of a TPS with a few stealth elements like Conviction. I'd rather have Chaos Theory the original playstyle.

MisterAV5097d ago

chaos theory was the best, hud meter for with sound and shadow, not that light on the back like double agent

GamingPerson5097d ago (Edited 5097d ago )

Make it for pc first! That way it won't be made for the masses and easy! Solved.

@redDevil87
Published by Devilvision..

Look at counter strike, Arma3, Mech Warrior still sticking to it's roots.

Then look at Ghost Recon .. :(

omi25p5097d ago

Going by the quality of Ghost recon. I doubt it stands a chance of being any good.

solidboss5097d ago

the quality of ghost recon is really good, the only negative complaints that i have with the game is an outdated engine and the mark and execute feature from conviction is way to easily implemented in the game but everything else is down pact

omi25p5097d ago

Its an outdated engine. Multiplayer is awful because only player 1 can do half of the stuff.

The graphics are awful, the story is awful, The gameplay is extreamly adverage and the multiplayer is broken.

solidboss5096d ago

@omni25p
ill give you that it has an outdated engine and the graphics are not up to par but i dont agree when you say the multiplayer is broken, in what way? sure there are games where lag brings those "wtf how did that happen" moment but to me this is one of the most balanced multiplayers out there also i dont understand what you say about only 1 player can do half of the stuff. this is a team oriented game 1 player can not do everything not even half the stuff and help his team win it has to be a coordinated effort.

spirited5097d ago (Edited 5097d ago )

i wish they show it at E3

and i want to see different game engine for it not unreal.
