wow lots of hours with Co op and VS mode too

it'll be worth the money

no more delays

Blaze9295958d ago

is this on top of the 6 hours for co op story?

Bungie5958d ago

i think they said

SP = 12 hours
Co op = 4 hours
Denial Ops = more Replay value

JasonPC360PS3Wii5958d ago

Splinter Cell games have always been a good length.

Ghostsmoker5958d ago

Fisher reminds me of Jack Bauer ... and that's awesome.

deadreckoning6665958d ago

360 owners are in for a real treat with this one!

BYE5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

So are PC gamers...

Can't wait to play it in native 1080p.

Bathyj5958d ago

Nice, sounds pretty lengthy to me.

SC is my early pick for my personal XB GotY. Cant wait.

Montrealien5958d ago

I presume he meant people that play games on a Microsoft platform are in for a real treat Ceekay. Just saying.

Why do people feel the need to remind us that they will not play a game on the 360 but will play it on the PC? Its all MS so its all the same sh*t.

-MD-5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

People seem to forget Windows is a Microsoft platform.

They disagree because they just can't handle the truth.

Saaking5958d ago

It's been proven that MS does not get any royalties from the PC version. Saying a 360/PC game is 360 exclusives is as stupid as saying it's PC exclusive. Get my point?

Montrealien5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

That`s like saying in my store I don`t make money selling a PS3 or a 360, which is true, but I make money when people buy a magazine, movie, game, controler...yadda yadda yadda. Business is hard.

However I do get your point Saaking, you want to spin the fact that 95% PC gamers play games on a MS platform, cause that sh*t really matters right? But at the end of the day, in the background, you have Windows.

Blaze9295958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

Got some links to back that up?

Either way it isn't about royalties. Conviction is made for Windows OS, hence the "Games for Windows". Having people switch to windows/stay with windows, which is a Microsoft OS, is the ultimate goal for Microsoft and in the end they continue to win. "Microsoft Exclusive" plain and simple. Microsoft may not see a dime for games made for windows but they still get people to play those games ON windows.

Microsoft just can't win with you guys huh? Try to cater to their Windows and Xbox audience, you all say they have no exclusives yadda ya. Try to do what you all want and make true 360 exclusives like Alan Wake and you all then say they don't care about the PC audience. Sheesh

Arnon5958d ago

If you've been following the game, the 360 version actually has the upper hand here. Not only does it have an exclusive Limited Edition, but it has more in-game content.

Crimsonite5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

Don't be ignorant,it is not required for any developer to pay royalties to Microsoft for them to have the "games for windows labels", the requirements are on the wiki page.The reason they do have that label is that Microsoft holds such a huge share of the software OS market that developers believe they will see more profit by having the label on. Microsoft gets easy promotion for its OS this way. Even though there are obviously more OS'S out there the only ones really promoted are games for mac and windows even though a person can technically make even Linux run those same games.

Anyway I see that the flame war continues on this site as it does everyday *sighs*

ape0075958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

stupid plain and simple

it's a ms exclusive whether it's on xbox 360 or pc, your money will go to the same company

I really find it humiliating to say this excuse, cause in the end it will make you look stupid, so stupid,especially if you deciding to buy a multiplat game on ps3, while pc version is better

you all got high end pcs eh, why won't you get all your games on pc then????

oh well they use it just as a painkiller "only on xbox 360" sticker must hurt them so bad

my comment look insulting but that's the truth im sorry

and if you really wanna buy it on your good pc, then go ahead and enjoy the hell out of it

anyway, conviction day 1 buy

A Cupcake for Gabe5958d ago

Well of all the Xbox 360 coming out, this is the one I want the most. Sorry Mass Effect 2, you are in second place. I have been so sick of simple shooters, and Uncharted 2 really won me over. I look at this as the 360's U2. And just like Uncharted 2, there's no one who truly believes this game looks to be anything less than totally awesome.

Everything about Conviction is stellar, the prequel story of co-op, the denied ops, the story, the art, the awesome TIP system, the badass combat style(Very arkham asylum how you can switch from action to stealth on the fly). I hope that everyone gets this game. Because this is going to be the best Splinter Cell to date.

Xbox 360 = Splinter Cell Conviction = 1 DVD9 = 12-16 Hours + Multiplayer = EPIC WINNER

PS3 = God Of War 3 = 1 Blue Ray Disc = +25 Gig = 10 HOURS - Multiplayer = EPIC FAIL

Bungie5958d ago

i got 1 word for droids

Ouch

tdrules5958d ago

lul i hope you arent implying a 200 hour grindfest is better than a 10 hour action packed game.

quality > quantity

Noctis Aftermath5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

Nice to see you pick a game that is not in the same genre as Splintercell, now lets try again without trying to be a bias douche.

Xbox 360 = Splinter Cell Conviction = 1 DVD9 = 12-16 Hours + Multiplayer = ???*

Ps3 = Metal Gear Solid 4 = 1 Duel Layer Blu-ray = 20 hours + Metal Gear Solid Online = 94% metacritic score = Awesome!

*i left it as question marks because the game is not out yet and no one has played it, so no fair judgement can be made until it releases.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5958d ago

but but teh Blu-ray is needed for games

Pennywise5958d ago

And they said brains are needed to think... Jason 360, proving everyone wrong one by one.

W831SOLIDSNAKE5958d ago

Then why is Final Fantasy broken because of your stupid DVD breakbox?
Why cant Failza have all the cars on one disc? Why is Mass Effect on two discs? Why cant metal Gear Solid 4 be made on the Xbox? Why will Final Fantasy use compressed audio on Xbox?

Pathetic Bot, use ur dam brain please. "Bu Bu Bu DVD is enough" LOL

OmarJA-N4G5958d ago

B-b-b-b-but PS3 exclusives looks by far the best this gen.

Karooo5958d ago

GOW3 has high res textures and many things packed in the bluray. It will be even better than Uncharted 2 which won the best graphics award in 2009.

TheMART5958d ago

As far as I've seen in the video's or play through the GOWIII demo on my PS3, Uncharted 2 looks a lot better. And yes I know GOWIII demo is an old build. Still the total package of textures, physics and every aspect to how a game looks, Uncharted 2 kicks GOWIII in the nutsack.

Oh I am pre ordering GOWIII ultimate trilogy EU edition, so don't say I hate the game.

Pennywise5958d ago

Mart, you have seen correctly. I was not impressed with the textures, but the scale was impressive... especially at the end when you are flying up the tunnel.

I am going to reserve my thoughts on the graphics until I play the game. But, looking at what Santa Monica did on the PS2 with GOW2... I am expecting nice results.

Noctis Aftermath5958d ago

Santa monica have mentioned that the game has been given graphical improvements since the e3 demo, and if HHG can be taken for his word( probably not) it will look as good as UC2 or better.

-MD-5958d ago

"It will be even better than Uncharted 2 which won the best graphics award in 2009."

No, it won't.

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?

bluebenjamin2586d ago

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

2586d ago
2586d ago
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

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.

lxeasy2876d 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."
