Ubisoft Reiterate Reason For Splinter Cell Delay

Xbox LifeStyle writes:

"As you've no doubt heard, a while ago, Splinter Cell: Conviction was further delayed in to the "March quarter" of 2010. Yves Guillemot of Ubisoft has now restated the reason for this."

So splinter cell delayed the game because of other games looking graphically better this year ?

Interesting...

gamesR4fun6111d ago

The game itself still would have been good – even a great game. But we want it to be an excellent game, because the other games coming out are getting better all the time. So we said: why not? If we can delay it and benefit then that’s a good thing.

looked as good as anything id seen on the 360 from the previews we saw...
wonder if it was running on a pc and they still workin on the console version?

ShabzS6111d ago

yeah it looked really good ... but the insane thing is its running on a modded unreal 2.5 or or as they call it the LEAD engine which the used in chaos theory... the game looked really good and it had more to do with the lightingin and art style...

but you can just sense the delay is coz of modern warfare 2 ... but the extra time does give them about 4 to 5 more months of polish so it can only get better

Pizzagaki6110d ago

I think its more Halo they are afraid of.
Halo will sell, no matter what the competition brings, and no one wants to stand in the shadows of Halo, Cuz noone will notice you then.

lol you stole my line again...

ThanatosDMC6110d ago (Edited 6110d ago )

Hmmm... confirmed for the PS3 then? Someone had to say it... errr... nvm... HHG did all ready.

Rhythmattic6110d ago (Edited 6110d ago )

Actually.. Best they take their time and make it the best it can be.

Its just like a home cooked meal, its better than that fast food junk.

From the article

"The game itself still would have been good – even a great game. But we want it to be an excellent game, because the other games coming out are getting better all the time."

Which means the graphics wouldn't be better then there competition .

ubisoft wouldn't have made a statement like that .

SupaPlaya6110d ago (Edited 6110d ago )

"In case your smart enough"

Was that necessary?

likedamaster6110d ago

"Badass: The Game" delayed to make it even more badass? *faints*

Defectiv3_Detectiv36110d ago

Then why ever release a game, why not just keep polishing and polishing until nobody wants to play it anymore!

You have to release the damn thing sometime, frankly I'd be more concerned then excited if I had preordered this game

Its not that they can't compete w/ COD, they probably cant compete w/ AC2.

gamesR4fun6110d ago (Edited 6110d ago )

I mean they could jus b scared of going head to head with the big boys... But really this is one of the best looking games we saw on the 360.
At the very least they should go for a dec 26 release so all the guys who got some crap game for xmas can trade for it.

Cant say im not worried tho this game looked solid. I just hope it comes out alright. This is def one of the biggies I jus cant see em scared of putting it up against any of the games out this year... Then again ms coulda asked them to delay it. With ODST, L4D2, and MW2 hitting this year they gotta know our wallets are getting strained.

FamilyGuy6110d ago (Edited 6110d ago )

How is that not true for march 2010? It should just come out when it's done, all games should. I don't choose to spend money towards games depending on the time of the year it is but instead choose based on when a game i want is coming out.

that ps3 wannabe's like your self obviously have NO GAMES to play on your wannabe console so you just SPAM every Xbox 360 post, there's hundreds of bored little boys like you who constantly troll on here on every Xbox related thing. I mean EVERYTHING and ANYTHING XBOX. Your sad lil boy, very sad.

Ron_Burgundy6110d ago

Time and money spent on the HD PS3 version

Lord_Ranos6110d ago

We just want the supeior verion Xbot. Like always.

PlayStation X6110d ago

lol xgamer, you miserable c*nt

gtfo

Gabe EatsWell6110d ago

Why is he sad? The PS3 has the best library of games, unlike your betabox which continue to lose exclusives like SO4 the other day and you only have ODLC and Grossza 3 to play this year. You're the sad one.

"It's idiots like you who CONTINUOSLY prove
that ps3 wannabe's like your self obviously have NO GAMES to play on your wannabe console".
- That statement of yours makes you the idiot. Oh and it's "you're" not "your". Time for you to go back to school.

PROFIT6110d ago (Edited 6110d ago )

wow xgamer reallly took that hard.

have some tissues, girl
and dont forget the lube

JasonPC360PS3Wii6110d ago (Edited 6110d ago )

You mean like Ghostbusters PS3 (ps3 lead platform) Half Life Orange Box and about 95% of all the multiplats that look, run, play and are far superior on the 360?

PiTCHBLaCK6110d ago

Actually I Think The Game will appear on PS3, After all It's SC.
It'll have more content to because of Blu-Ray.

So Jason, no not Like Ghostbusters, but Like SO4 with lots
of added content.

I Think Graphically they'll both look almost alike, and
both versions will be a good game.

Boty6110d ago

Are you calling PS3 Fans "wannabe gamers"? Just answer this for me:

What came first, the PlayStation or the Xbox?

Just because your game had been delayed and Xbox fanboys had to put 'Foot in Mouth' over the "Ps3 has Delayed Games" Argument doesn't mean you have to get all defensive about it and look Stupid.

6110d ago
PiTCHBLaCK6109d ago

Yes, we do know what happens to Multi console games.
If released at the exact same time, the 360 Version tends
to look slightly better(though this has been changing).

If the PS3 Version is released monthes later It Tends to
look slightly better with much added content, do the research.

MetalGearRising6110d ago

True where still waiting for a superior multi-platform game to come our way only time will tell.

Halo_Reach6110d ago

They need good games to 2010...

They have only GoW3...

Model6110d ago

keep buying those sh!tty 360 exclusives, you are funding the superior version for the ps3

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane352611d ago (Edited 2611d ago )

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

hiawa232611d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352611d ago (Edited 2611d ago )

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

Z5012611d ago

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

Bane352611d ago (Edited 2611d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932611d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012610d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

bluebenjamin2611d ago

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

Gwiz2611d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2611d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2611d ago
Movefasta19932611d 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.

Gaming4Life19812610d 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.

bluebenjamin2611d 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

2611d ago
2611d ago
Movefasta19932611d ago

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

Z5012611d 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.

Gaming4Life19812610d 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.

Hungryalpaca2610d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

No Mario Kart is the best racer ever almost anyone can play

timotim2611d ago (Edited 2611d ago )

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?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2900d ago

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

ApexWolf222900d 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.

AG1002900d ago

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

Goldby2900d ago

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

yomfweeee2900d ago

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

BQ322900d ago

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

annoyedgamer2900d ago

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

lxeasy2900d 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."
