Splinter Cell: Conviction - too much focus on action?

Msxbox-world asks the question after viewing the Abandoned Warehouse video whether the game has shifted its focus towards action more than stealth?

I've been thinking this too, since they showed the E3 trailer. Splinter Cell is good because of the focus on stealth (which imo was much better than MGS, but not as good as Thief), it seems like they are straying too far from the formula that made SC great.

Keowrath6056d ago

It's funny you say that. I've never been a splinter cell fan, I've played a couple of them but never enjoyed them at all. Yet this one is the first that I think looks really good. Early trailers of Sam mashing some guy up in the toliets looked full on brutal.

I fully admit I'm biased because I'm a huge MGS fan but I think Splinter Cells latest outing looks really good. To me, it looks a lot better than previous outings.

gaffyh6056d ago

Yeah, I understand, I'm also a huge MGS fanboy, but I liked Splinter Cell because it's stealth was more in depth. Also the fact that you could jump between narrow corridors etc. was awesome. But as I said before, if you are a stealth fan, Thief is the BEST, which is why I also can't wait until Thief 4 AKA Thi4f (wtf?)

Natsu X FairyTail6056d ago (Edited 6056d ago )

Am I the only guy who actually listened to what the devs said in the interviews they did at the Time E3 was in effect?

They Said that

if you play the game in real life mode You wont be able to rush in and you'll probably die from being hit by few bullets. So you'll have to use Stealth to go trough the game.

I'd guess that what we've seen at this time in the gameplay videos are played at a normal difficulty so they can show us all the moves and stuff you can do .

NewZealander6056d ago

i watched a few trailers the other night, and conviction is actually starting to look really good, reminds me alot of uncharted 2 in some ways, like the hand to hand combat moves and the way he drags people off ledges, splinter cell is looking great!

i was hesitant, i didnt think it looked good at the start, but looking at recent trailers i take that all back.

Uncharted 2 is way better then this, this game looks like the first one.
I like the ps3 now .

Saaking6056d ago

ok, just shut up please. it isn't funny.

djtek1846055d ago (Edited 6055d ago )

WTF? The #1 M$ cheerleader just had an identity crisis.

MegaPowa6050d ago

I think this and uncharted are even but that's my opinion. (expects many disagrees from all the UC2 fanboys)

DelbertGrady6056d ago (Edited 6056d ago )

We want more cutscenes!!! j/k

It's not that it's less stealthy, it's just that they have made the stealth action much more intuitive and immersive than in other stealth games.

Looky here:

Tompkins6056d ago

Let's hope you can do either rather than be forced into gunfights etc.

PoisonedTea6056d ago

My thoughts exactly. I hope Ubisoft have considered this too.

MegaPowa6050d ago

They already said we could do what we wanted so its your choice

ShadesMoolah6056d ago

Totally irrelevant comment to make. You've played SC:C to make such bold claims? If not then STFU and GTFO. :o)

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.

Bane352586d ago (Edited 2586d 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

hiawa232586d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352586d ago (Edited 2586d ago )

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

Z5012586d ago

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

Bane352586d ago (Edited 2586d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932586d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012586d ago

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

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

Gwiz2586d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2586d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2586d ago
Movefasta19932586d 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.

Gaming4Life19812586d 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.

bluebenjamin2586d 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

Movefasta19932586d ago

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

Z5012586d 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.

Gaming4Life19812586d 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.

Hungryalpaca2586d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2586d ago

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

timotim2586d ago (Edited 2586d 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

lxeasy2876d ago

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

ApexWolf222876d 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.

AG1002876d ago

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

Goldby2875d ago

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

yomfweeee2876d ago

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

BQ322876d ago

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

annoyedgamer2876d ago

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

lxeasy2875d 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."

C-H-E-F3016d ago
