Splinter Cell producer Mathieu Ferland believes that Ubisoft's decision to reinvent the famed stealth series - ditching much of its light-and-shadow gameplay - will ultimately be vindicated by player reaction, despite the obvious risk.
"We've been working very closely with the fans from the beginning," Ferland told GamesIndustry.biz. "Their first reaction was, 'What's going on? Where's Sam?' And then they discovered these new possibilities, this new mechanic and they said, 'That looks awesome. I want to play it.'"
However, the producer admitted that Ubisoft could return to past values if things go wrong with Conviction, the fifth game in the series.
"It's not a one-way direction," he confirmed. "You can always go back and do different things, having Sam in a new position, or a different character to explore light-and-shadow gameplay."
Microsoft presented a new batch of Xbox 360 games that received Xbox One X enhancements via Xbox One backward compatibility, and here you can watch how they run.
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.
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
Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne
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.
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.
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
I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable
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.
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!
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
Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.
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.
Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely
Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.
No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

Don't confuse the Xbox gamers. They have enough problems to deal with... : P'
No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.
"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"
*Fixed*
I'm looking forward to this, it's good to see that they're taking it to another level rather than just playing it safe.
The demo video I saw the other week reminded me of a tech demo for Assassins Creed where you blend into the crowd.
be truthful and admit that double agent was a BOMB, no one liked it.
My local gamestop told that even the 360 fanboys returned this game in droves. You retards put one of your flagship titles in the hands of UBIjoke shanghai and they totally ruined it. nice going you dummies.
I'll be looking more in depth to this one. It's alway nice to change the formula every so often. Can't get a main franchise stagnate at all.
I just keep think BORNE Identity. That is one of my favorite movies an S.C. is a great series.
@Xbot_Killer, can I ask you something? Seriously? " I have it for 360" are you a lier or a morron? Pretty much every post you have is to say something bad about a 360 game or the 360 itself. Your name obviously shows you don't like xbox fans let alone the xbox brand. You are a Sony lemming. Now, why would you own a 360 and then come here and hate? What with Lemmings now in days? When is not that they keep saying "I am on my 5th xbox 360" or "I have that game for the 360 and it sucks...", "My 360 sucks and I like my PS3 better." dude... if you own a 360 and you dislike it that much... you an idiot for paying for something you don't like. I think no matter what it says a lot about you. a lier or a morron. pick one.
