This is awesome news. Applause to Ubisoft becuase split-screen this gen is either terrible or just completely left out in a lot of games.

mikeslemonade6014d ago

Split screen is stupid. All you need is a system link if other people want to play locally. Stop adding features that I don't need in this game. Give me mercs vs spies instead of these meaningless features.

Kevin ButIer6014d ago (Edited 6014d ago )

Time to time I actually miss split screen,

Dear ND could u please include that feature at "Uncharted 3: Among Awesomenes" That would be an amazing party

Edit: Come on mike!! split screen is not stupid, its loads of fun if u want to play with some real friends, oh wait, now i got your point :/

Saaking6014d ago

Great news. I like splitscreen a lot more than online only co-op.

ABizzel16014d ago

This is something a lot of Xbox 360 games have that I wish more PS3 games would have (Split Screen co-op).

silvacrest6014d ago

finally
split screen is back
I missed you

bumnut6014d ago (Edited 6014d ago )

split screen is outdated, it was replaced long ago by online gaming.

i don't know why anyone would want split screen these days. It was great before we had online gaming but is just not needed anymore.

silverbeld6014d ago

Wow Splinter Cell with co-op is great.

I will buy when its out for the PS3.

StanLee6013d ago (Edited 6013d ago )

Split-screen is not stupid or outdated and is still one of the best ways to play with a friend. Being able to play Halo 3 and Gears of War online with a friend on one console was a huge plus for me. One game I wished had split-screen, and it would have added to its longevity, is Pure. Burnout Paradise as well. I'm glad some developers still understand that gamers do still like to socialize and enjoy games with a friend or three ( . . . cheers to Halo 3) on the couch.

one of the biggest features that gets overlooked on blockbuster games is split screen. I love playing with friends online, but enjoy it just as much, if not more, offline. I just wish more devs would concentrate on making this a mandatory feature. I would much rather prefer it over 1080p graphics anyday.

AridSpider6014d ago

I'm exactly in the same boat as you. Sure it's nice to have pretty graphics but when I found out Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 didn't support split-screen I was definitely dissappointed. Is this the sacrifice we all have to make now for "awesome visuals"?

JasonXE6014d ago (Edited 6014d ago )

You freakin nailed it! That's exactly how I feel about some games this gen. Like everyone forgot about gaming with friends and family locally

we won6014d ago (Edited 6014d ago )

I didn't realize there were blockbuster retail games not getting split screen because they were running at 1080p, nor did I realize the games with split-screen has had there resolutions lowered from 1080p because of split-screen. The only games I see at 1080p are a few retail games with simple gameplay or low quality textures or DDL-ed games.

I'm not sure I understand because developers are not thinking "one or the other" with every game they make, assuming they wan't to do 1080p. Maybe you're saying split screen is more important than 1080p? If so you should know by now, not that many games support 1080p and most devs don't try to run games in that resolution.

mikeslemonade6014d ago

You guys are rediculous. Stop living in the past. Split screen is dumb like wired controllers. Either find a way to let two players play on one screen.(like madden, tekken, streets of rage etc.) or not have it at all. This feature is not welcome in my book and is a waste of development time.

ndibu6014d ago

Thank you ubisoft for realising that there are still some of us that have real life physical friends that like gaming in the same room. Online is great but what about my friend sitting next to me?? Day 3 purchase for me!

SlipperyMooseCakes6014d ago

This will be my first true entrance into the Splinter Cell series. I am very much looking forward to it.

SlipperyMooseCakes6014d ago

Why did someone disagree with my comment when I said that I'm excited and this will be the first Splinter Cell game really going to play. How can someone disagree with that? Is fanboyism really that bad? Wow guys.

Blaze9296014d ago

Just about everyone in here who expressed any excitement for this got a disagree. Just ignore it; the fanboys on this site can at times become really sad. I don't even know the point of the disagree and agree feature here.

Cyrax_876014d ago

you're not excited at all are you!? jks bro, everyone gets disagrees for no reason. I got a disagree in another topic for saying "2010 is gonna be one the best gaming years in my life" or something like that >_>

tokoshix6014d ago

I really enjoyed the co-op in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory so this news just makes me more excited for the game.

AridSpider6014d ago

ahhh yes, Chaos Theory. One of THE best co-op experiences ever

ProA0076014d ago

I remember when I used to watch X-Play; they used to have some hilarious videos with the co-op feature, Bob and Steve:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Blaze9296014d ago

WOW I remember that! WOOOOOOOOOOW. Lol before X-Play sucked

TrevorPhillips6014d ago

Alright more great news from Conviction, looking forward to this game, I'm a huge fan of splinter cell series completed all parts :)

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.

Bane352612d ago (Edited 2612d 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

hiawa232612d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352612d ago (Edited 2612d ago )

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

Z5012612d ago

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

Bane352612d ago (Edited 2612d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932612d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012611d ago

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

bluebenjamin2612d ago

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

Gwiz2612d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2612d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2612d ago
Movefasta19932612d 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.

Gaming4Life19812611d 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.

bluebenjamin2612d 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

Movefasta19932612d 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.

Gaming4Life19812611d 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.

Hungryalpaca2611d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2611d ago

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

timotim2612d ago (Edited 2612d 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

lxeasy2901d ago

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

ApexWolf222901d 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.

AG1002901d ago

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

Goldby2901d ago

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

yomfweeee2901d ago

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

BQ322901d ago

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

annoyedgamer2901d ago

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

lxeasy2901d 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."

TheRealHeisenberg3041d ago

No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.

Vectrexer3041d ago

Are we confused? We get games that we've been enjoyed before at no cost to us!

C-H-E-F3041d ago

"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"
