Christopher3045d ago

I don't know whether to be disappointed that Jade Empire isn't #1 and Morrowind isn't #2 or amazed that someone actually knows about Blinx and Mace Griffin.

darthv723045d ago

I'd like quantum redshift and bloodwake to be part of the program at some point.

optimus3045d ago

I doubt they would offer conker when it's in rare replay.

darthv723045d ago

Grabbed by the Ghoulies was part of Rare Replay and it is on the og BC list.

Sciurus_vulgaris3045d ago

Conker: Live and Reloaded, was not included with Rare Replay.

bloodyspasm3045d ago

as said by others: Grabbed by the ghoulies was also in Rare Replay and that didn't stop them + it would be like a reward for people who own the disc as they can now play it in 4K on their Xbox One X. Also: Live and Reloaded had Multiplayer, Bad Fur Day did not

bloodyspasm3045d ago

Time Splitters 2 is one of my favourite console shooters ever! that opening level is the closest we'll ever get to a GoldenEye 64 remake :p

Sgt_Slaughter3045d ago

Why so much time in between?

Should be every few weeks or so.

Cy3045d ago

Because it takes time to sort out licensing/legal issues and to iron out all the bugs that comes from getting 15+ year old software to run on hardware it was never designed for.

TGG233045d ago

Pretty much there's not as many OG Xbox BC titles compared to 360 so it's not possible to do new titles every week. It seems like they want to go with the batches route. I guess it's going to be 13 or so at a time.

Ubisoft Worked on New Splinter Cell Game That Spiraled Into XDefiant Thanks to Live Service Goals

Ubisoft cancelled the new Splinter Cell project and shifted it into XDefiant, due to live service ambitions.

P_Bomb103d ago

“However, over time, Ubisoft lost interest in the Splinter Cell game and shifted it into something designed to compete with Call of Duty.”

Omfg.

Wonder how many times this kinda thing has happened. The games we lost.

1nsomniac101d ago

How can these people get it so wrong. People really want a new Splinter Cell. Is that because they want a game that plays like another game….. no, it’s because they want a Splinter Cell game that plays like… you guessed it, a splinter cell game. I really cannot comprehend how the people in this industry have become so utterly useless.

CrimsonWing69101d ago (Edited 101d ago )

I hate GaaS so much. Like the whole model, the purpose around why it exists, and how they literally can’t f*cking make a game without it just adds to the mess of it.

BlackCountryBob101d ago

Live service games aren’t for me, though I don’t hate on anyone who decides to try to develop one of these games. However, I really wish some developers would realise not all the games need to be live service.

While I loved the original Splinter Cell trilogy, and Double Agent was good too (everything after that less so), 20 years later it’s bad that Ubisoft hasn’t been able to produce a remake or decent sequel, but I’m even more confused that no other developer has been able to make a decent knock off / spiritual sequel to a series which was so beloved. Surely anyone who tried to Kickstarter a spiritual sequel would blow past their stretch targets in only a few days.

Software_Lover100d ago

Exactly. Just completely remake the first 3 Splinter Cell games with new (better) textures, better lighting, etc etc. Redo some of the cut scenes. Sell them as a trilogy. Make money. It's that simple.

BlackCountryBob100d ago

I can’t work out why they haven’t even done the cheap option of just porting the PS3 era HD Trilogy Collection to PS4, would surely be a licence to print money. While I’d love a proper remaster, especially to add HDR as that would really pop visually with the shadow / light detail, I would settle for being able to play on a modern system (I have a PS3 but the system itself is so sluggish, and the Sixaxis controller so poor, I would always choose a zippy modern port with a PS5 controller).

isarai100d ago

I also hate when a small but super talented studio gambles their livelyhood on a GAAA totle like remedy with firebreak and mucurysteam with spacelords, or united front with triad wars

BlackCountryBob100d ago

If it is a success then I imagine those small companies are now huge companies, but so rare it will happen. What I don’t get is artistically for the development team, once they launch a live service game and it beats the odds to become successful, those devs now are purely focused on how to get more from their players, maintain engagement and find a way to slot in brand partnerships. Have to imagine they would hope the success would mean they have more freedom in future projects, instead they become more creatively unfulfilled than ever

shinXseijuro101d ago

Last good splinter cell was conviction in 08 -09

boing1101d ago

How??? Would love to hear the pitch.

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Trailer

The new trailer for the game based series has been released.

Software_Lover188d ago

.................... Man, I thought it was a game. How can Ubisoft sit on this franchise for so long????

Garethvk188d ago

I think they are hoping this Jumpstart the interest in the franchise and brings new people to the game.

victorMaje188d ago

I clicked so fast I didn’t even notice the “a netflix series” in the thumbnail.

Garethvk188d ago

Ubisoft has a movie and television division and they haveban Assassin’s Creed project and others coming to hopefully increase the audiences for their franchises.

Noskypeno187d ago

They've been working on a remake for 5 years, and no updates since they said they're working on it. This and the Tomb Raider game that had a "sort of announcement with one concept art that it's in UE5" back in 2020 are really just taking longer than it needs to. Give us concept art or something. I enjoyed when devs like Bungie would give community updates on their projects and keep the community in the loop even if it's very vague like saying "our buddy Dave here is testing out this gun on this yet to be revealed monster in this secret location that we're working on".

SimpleSlave187d ago

After all these years, we get an animated show... 🙄

shinXseijuro187d ago

So it’s like conviction but animated
