Splinter Cell Conviction coming for Christmas

OXM UK: Ubisoft's financial statement has confirmed that long-delayed Xbox 360 exclusive Splinter Cell: Conviction exists and will be released at Christmas.

GWAVE6237d ago

Pretty cool if true. There's so little info released for this game. I hope it turns out.

gaffyh6237d ago

Thank God for some info on this game finally. Been waiting for a new Splinter Cell for ages, I just hope it has stuck to it's Stealth aspect

Killjoy30006237d ago

It seems as though Microsoft is making little to no effort in terms of first party support, so this is very, very good news for 360 owners. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but you guys really need something to play.

u got owned6237d ago

Oooooooohhh yeaaaahhhhhhh!!!! Good news for X360 owners.

Bnet3436237d ago

Well at least Microsoft now has an exclusive coming out this year besides Halo 3 ODST. Can't wait. I like Splinter Cell, very nice stealth game.

HighDefinition6237d ago

This is the next game I`ll be getting for 360 (most likely).

socomnick6237d ago

Now i really cant wait for e3. If they plan on releasing the game this year then it must shown there. I just hope they go back to classic splinter cell gameplay not that double agent crap and definitely not that wana be assasins creed footage we seen before.

solidjun56237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

Said that dribble as your first comment, which to me implied that you have another account. Why didn't you just used that one.

Anyway, On topic with the story. I'm glad it's coming out this year. I want to see what changes they made to the build shown a while back.

u got owned6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

@ Fleet Fox

You better watch out, you could loose all your bubbles just for talking sense.

Anyway this is great news, MS need this kind of news because as of right now Sony is kicking their butt on the exclusives department.

QSPR6237d ago

FINALLY!!! you guys deserved it and hope you guys enjoy it!! congrats..

Dread6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

more great news for 360 owners.

i can't wait.

@fox

i agree that the 360 has a stellar line up, but the Sony fans have this belief system that does not allow them to see anything good if it does not say "sony exclusive" and then when the games finally come out, after years of hype, they do not buy them.. go figure.

I for one can appreciate that Sony does have a good line up for 09. Which is better? well will see at the end of the year.

Sony Rep6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

ahhh

I love how 360 fanboys like to downplay PS3 exclusives. Let me put things into perspective here...

Uncharted 2 - sequel to the best action adventure game out, with a fresh spin on coop and multiplayer modes- potential Goty

Heavy Rain - A genre defining action, supense, adventure game with unique game mechanics, unmatched graphics, and branching storytelling- potential sleeper hit of 09

Killzone 2- Highest rated exclusive FPS this year with intense action and graphics only possible on the PlayStation 3- potential Goty

inFamous - A platformer heavily influenced by comic book themes, from the great developers at Sucker Punch - potential sleeper hit of 09

MLB 09 The Show - From Sony's San Diego studio. The first AAA sports title this generation of consoles has seen and the best baseball game on the market- potential Goty

MAG - From early previews , we have a game that is once again only possible on the PlayStation 3. This futuristic FPS game pits three factions, 256 players against each other in a battle for supremacy. Early talk, has this FPS pegged as the game to beat.

Quantum Theory - A fresh take on the third person action shooter; Quantum Theory is an exclusive from Tecmo that has two protagonist in a tower-- each with there own motives. A cover based shooter that introduces unique game play in the form of a living toer that transforms solid cover into an exposed area, as you are kept on your toes and look for the next cover point.

iDystopia6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

Just take a look how Sony extremists have reacted to news of another 360 game gearing up for launch. They are foaming from the mouth.

Some facts were made from OUR angle, which are true and look at the desperate Sony fanboys attack him!!!

I have a PS3(and love it), BUT THIS IS EMBARASSING.

Guys you have made is sooooooo obvious.

PS3 fanboys fear/loathe the Xbox 360.

DUHH6237d ago

It's about freaking time. I was beginning to think they forgot or ditched this title!

Dread6237d ago

@sony rep

heavy rain has not come out yet and we know almost nothing about it and yet you are claiming that

"A genre defining action, supense, adventure game with unique game mechanics, unmatched graphics, and branching storytelling- potential sleeper hit of 09"

wow! a bit much dont u think?

and uncharted the best action game? i am not so sure i can agree to that.. the game is awesome, and i cannot wait for the sequel, but the bets action game out..not so sure bud.

and did u mention a baseball game in there?

again Sony has a good line up, but this claim that the Sony exclusive line up is better.. lets not repeat 07 and 08 . I would expect sony fans to be a bit more cautious.

In any case there are great games coming for all. To bad the sony fans will only enjoy the ones coming for their system.

peace

Sony Rep6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

White Knight Chronicles - A JRPG from mainstream success story, Level 5. WKC is an ode to classic JRPG storytelling in the vain of games like Dragon Quest. WKC tells the tales of a boy who must rescue a princess using his newly found powers of the White Knight-- a mythical giant with powers not seen for decades-- potential best in JRPG

Demon's Soul- An unforgiving dungeon crawler whose roots lie in the old King's Field series, and western RPGs such as Oblivion. Underground talk has this game pegged as THE sleeper hit of 09.

Final Fantasy XIII (Japan) - FXIII+ Japan= nuff said. Demo did major damage.

Now, that's just 09. Next year will see some old franchises and new ones...

Little Big Planet 2
Resistance 3
WarHawk 2
Team Ico
God of War 3
Gran Turismo 5
Killzone 3
$299.99 PS3
etc etc

Good day :)

thegood336237d ago

Is it just me or does Sam Fisher look like the main character from Condemned 2 (After he started hittin the whisky)

Dread6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

@sony rep

out of all those games which ones are coming this year, if at all.

and white night only got mediocre reviews.. so do not hold your breath. (i love factor five by the way, and hope the game kicks a$$, but reviews do not look good)

and final fantasy is also coming to the 360, did you get the memo. highlighting a game that is exclusive in Japan is just sad.

finally, is team ICO a game or a developer?

peace

cayal6237d ago

"(i love factor five by the way, and hope the game kicks a$$, but reviews do not look good)"

It's level 5 and reviews were from the same who gave HAze a good review wasn't it?

No Way6237d ago

True. I'm betting that they will show it off at E3.
At least, I hope they do! Ha.

No Way6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

Just because there are very few new exclusives comin out doesn't mean there's nothin to play..

There are still past exclusives that I have yet to pick up and play.
Just cause past exclusives are out, doesn't mean they don't count anymore..

But, I do agree.. The 'Future' exclusives are looking bad, and x360 owners need more. :)

MriownBOTH6237d ago

why do 17 people disagree with you?????

silly ps3 fanboys this game is only on 360 why are you in here?

Ausbo6237d ago

what do you mean we have nothing to play. Yes the 360 exclusive lineup is weak but there are plenty of multiplatform games coming out. have you ever heard of re5, codmw2, ac2 and more. exclusives aren't anything.

FamilyGuy6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

Magnacarta 2, Halo:ODST, Alan Wake and Lost Planet 2 (until they announce a port)

Someone has this already, i know it.

Can someone list the possible future 09 360 exclusives for me. I want a proper perspective as all i seem to hear is that 360 has nothing this year but multiplats. Whether thats true or not isnt my point, i just wanna see how far they get by the end of the year.

There we go, and there will be more. : )

McMee6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

Last time I tried to talk about Microsoft exclusive games to possibly be displayed at the upcoming E3 this year, I was disagreed with like I had made the games up. Here is my list that I can come up with for exclusive 09 already, confirmed,or potential releases.

Xbox 360 Exclusives:
- Splinter Cell: Conviction
- Huxley
- Velvet Assassin
- Halo: ODST
- Halo Wars
- Champions Online
- Alan Wake
- SO 4
- Ninja Blade
- 2 possible Rare announcements
(Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark)
- Forza 3
- Project Gotham Racing
- Lost Planet 2 (for now)

So unlike some of the rediculous Sony representives would have you believe, Microsoft's 09 lineup has potential to be pretty good.

Dread6237d ago

@Mcmee

u better hide the list. You are in the Sony is god zone.

Chuk_Chuk6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

That MS may have pressured the devs to get this done quickly to have more exclusives for 2009?

@the guy below
Just cause it was announced long time doesn't mean the devs are ready to release it but i do get your point.

N4PS3G6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

This game was announced loooong time ago...they had time

" Guillemot also noted that the four-years-in-development Splinter Cell: Conviction will finally arrive for the Xbox 360 this holiday season"

TheColbertinator6237d ago

N4PS3G is right.This game has been in the oven since 2005

Why dis6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

I was going to say the same thing when they pushed it back they said the game will fall around the time that is stated in this info lol.

Looks like the 360 is already going to have one of the biggest blockbuster years ever.

Please PS3 fans let 360 fans enjoy this news.

EDIT. @3.6 Taken back to the drawing board in what regard? Engine, story, gameplay mechanics, art, all of the above? lol

EDIT @slave2Dcontroller Go make a list of the PS3 articles I'v been in and get back at me.

N4PS3G6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

4 years for a splinter cell game seems more than enough

Mike Wallace6237d ago

Thank you for the request. I'm looking forward to this game. They're written so well...

PirateThom6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

It was also taken back to the drawing board in 2008 (rumour has it, it didn't compare favourably to the likes of Assassin's Creed).

http://www.computerandvideo...

Edit: Disagreeing with fact is dumb.

Gamer_Politics6237d ago

MS did no have the devs rush up the release...i dont even know why that thought has pop'd in your head cant stand ubisoft games but i guess splinter cell is almost finish

slave2Dcontroller6237d ago

you have some nerves asking PS3 fans to let YOU enjoy the good news when you foul up every PS3 article that hits N4G.

I aint a hater so enjoy your news but try showin others the same damn respect you want.

Chuk_Chuk6237d ago

how did i ruin a 360fanboy special moment.

and TBF look at it the other way around it always happens on the PS3 difference is i didn't mention sales.

I did not murder him6237d ago

I don't get it we know that already. When the game releases the announced push back will be close to two years old. You don't know if the rework was in the works even before the push back announcement.

No Way6237d ago

No. Would MS even have the authority to do that?

but sam is not even in snake's league

SyphonFilter5 !!!!

Man_of_the_year6237d ago

I will take Sam over Snake anyday...

especially when there is more gameplay in a single Splinter cell game than there is in the entire MGS series...especially MGS4

TheColbertinator6237d ago

Sam would get slaughtered by Snake unfortunately.Snake is a freak and a direct clone of the ultimate soldier big boss.Its amazing how Snake could still survive after he got FOXDIE and had to get microwaved like a burrito.

Ofc you would man of the year, you only own a sh!tbox.

You only own a Playstation 3.

next time instead of opening your mouth and showing the world how ignorant you are...why don't you do a little research first...like in this case click on my bio and see that i own a PS3 and what my PSNID is...stupid typical ignorant sony fanboy.

Watch Ninja Gaiden II, Fable 2, Fable 3, and Splinter Cell Games Enhanced for Xbox One X in Action

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

hiawa232597d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

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

Z5012597d ago

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

Bane352597d ago (Edited 2597d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932597d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

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

Gwiz2597d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2597d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2597d ago
Movefasta19932597d 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.

Gaming4Life19812597d 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.

bluebenjamin2597d 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

Movefasta19932597d ago

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

Z5012597d 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.

Gaming4Life19812597d 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?"

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

ApexWolf222887d 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.

AG1002887d ago

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

Goldby2886d ago

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

yomfweeee2887d ago

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

BQ322887d ago

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

annoyedgamer2887d ago

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

lxeasy2887d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."
