I've been looking forward to this one. Not surprised to see a glowing review for it. I've never been disappointed by any SC game this will be no exception.

omansteveo7071d ago

I'm so pumped for this game and a 9.0 from ign is awesome they review really harshly at times im glad to see they loved it

Nodoze7071d ago

The frame rate has issues (why is this all to common on the 360), and the single player game is only 8 to 10 hours in lenght?? Is this so that the devs can release map packs and charge us for more content?

I think this title holds promise, but a short single campaign, and frame rate issues puts me squarely on the fence. This 'next generation' of gaming appears to be one of nickel and diming the gamers. I hope I am wrong here, bu it does not appear so.

Expect a map pack release in the next 3 months for 12 bux or so (just like with GRAW).

frostbite067071d ago

Framerate. Who cares. Just wait for Splinter Cell 5. It will be made from the ground up for the 360

zypher7071d ago

then you're saying i shouldn't bother with Splinter Cell 4?

power of Green 7071d ago

This guy's a Sony fanboy never mind what he has to say; he's just venting because he's angry from the good news. He don't even have the console

zypher7071d ago (Edited 7071d ago )

um, since you didn't specify what guy you're talking about i'm just gonna assume it wasn't me.

I was TOTALLY STOKED about this game ... THEN ... I played that horid DEMO.

Not only was it to damn dark, but the graphics did not do much for me either. The one thing that really caught my eye was the mussle flashed ... they looked terrible.

For those who have the game .... is the DEMO just a bad demo or is this what I can expect "IF" I was to buy the game???

The fact it was scored so high tells me the Demo MAY NOT be a good guide to judge by.

Myself, I did not see any framrate issues.

If it is .. I will save my money for a different title.

Dusk7071d ago (Edited 7071d ago )

are not necessarily comprised of the final build. Sometimes they are, sometimes they're not. I would never completely judge a game from its demo.

That being said, the videos I've seen look really good. Maybe not GoW good, but pretty frickin' good. I have never been dissapointed by a Splinter Cell game and the fact that this game has gotten all nines so far on its first three reviews doesn't surprise me.

What also reinforces this is that one of the reviews is from IGN, who are notoriously harsh on 360 games. If they give it a 9, then you know it's got to be good.

As far as framerate drops, I'll have to play it for myself first. I've played some games which had garnered complaints about framerate issues and I thought the framerates were a complete non-issue. I guess it just depends on how picky you are. Although I have noticed some games with major issues, others that people complained about I thought were fine. Personally, I can't wait to pick this game up tomorrow.

zypher7071d ago

i haven't even beaten Chaos Theory yet, so i know i'm gonna wait for this one. may get it sometime in December. great score, though i didn't read the entire review. i hope what nodoze says isn't true...that the single-player game is only 8-10 hours? if so then i probably will wait a bit, until Ubisoft release some extra maps, missions etc. via Live.

Nodoze7071d ago

Here is a snip from the IGN review:

Lasting Appeal
The single-player game is about 8-10 hours; but you'll want to play it again. The 3-on-3 MP mode is more accessible than Chaos Theory's co-op mode and is progressively more fun.

We will need to wait for an end user review, but that was from IGN.

Grown Folks Talk7071d ago

i still play chaos theory myself. if you wanna bust out some co-op online, look me up. my gamertags are OUgroundGAME or BaldSamFisher.

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM1d ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum1d 3h ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot1d ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos881d 9h ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

Huey_My_D_Long1d 11h ago

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

ChunkyMonk1d 11h ago

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

chicken_in_the_corn2d ago

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac2d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long1d 11h ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

I've been wanted to revisit the game in the back of my mind for years and this is big. There's still a good handful of 360 games locked to the system I'd love to see now that the seal is broken on decompiling these games.
