In Splinter Cell: Conviction, Ubisoft has decided to re-imagine its much-loved franchise – less Bond and more Bourne. So what does the new game have to offer? Why did the company decide to take this grittier direction? And how will fans react to the new Sam Fisher?
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!

"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*
Were back on the good one. What I mean is when the first splinter cell came out, it was a good game. Then the Ubisoft studio that worked on the first one passed on Pandora Tommorrow to I believe their other studio Ubisoft Shanghai while they worked on chaos theory, which was an excellent game. And it has happened again as another studio developed Double Agent while the original crew has been developing Conviction. So, I have every reason to believe that this is going to be a great game. It just seems with multiple studios working on different Splinter Cell titles that it is kinda running the franchise's stock low. I mean if Metal Gear games were released so close to each other, MGS4 wouldnt be getting near the hype it is right now. And if I'm not mistaken isnt Splinter Cell Conviction coming out this holiday season after Double Agent just released a couple of months ago?
this is what i was saying...reminds me of Bourne Identity. i can't wait for this one. it is going to be a blast. and a nice move by ubi to keep it fresh.
of this series, and i like the new direction. plus, as #1 said, the proper studio is working on it. can't wait.
What are you all thinking? Pandora Tomorrow was the best one so far.
After Pandora Tommorrow came out to look just like the first Splinter Cell in my opinion, Chaos Theory came out of nowhere and just blew my mind. Even by next gen standards, Chaos Theory is not bad to be on a last generation console. And with the wii being more powerful than the original xbox, Nintendo could in fact get some decent looking games if they wanted to. But Chaos Theory to me is the best, and Conviction, I'm sure will trump Chaos Theory.
