1UP: Splinter Cell Conviction's First 20 Minutes

You might think, at first glance, that this preview exists primarily as a way to house two new video clips showing highlights from the first 20 minutes of Splinter Cell Conviction. You wouldn't be wrong. But since 1UP had a chance to play through nearly finished versions of these scenes at a press event today, they figured they'd add a bit of commentary.

JhawkFootball065954d ago

Wow. I cannot wait for this game

JokesOnYou5954d ago (Edited 5954d ago )

360 lineup this year is just amazing, the news just keeps getting better for 360 and games like this are making the doubters who said 360's best years were behind it eat their words.

JOY

edit: Thanks Natsu I appreciate it....but losing bubbles for anyone who doesn't sell their soul to the sony god is just par for the course on n4g....rational, opinionated, independent thinking is not allowed.

Major_Tom5954d ago

I can't wait for this game, day 0 on PS3.

Natsu X FairyTail5954d ago

I dont understand why you keep losing bubbles JOY you always say some cool stuff and I never see you bashing videogames. Have a bubble my friend keep up the instructive comments.

on TOPIC:

I'm a big fan of the splinterCell series but I must admit that I've been slackin off these last years as I slept on the last 2 games. I'll be picking up this title surely when it comes out.

Foxgod5954d ago

Yeah, have a bubble, its insane some people lose bubbles just because they like their 360.

OT, this looks awesome, the splinter cell concept got itself a nice upgrade in the gameplay department, gfx look great too.

Saaking5954d ago

2010 is a great year for the 360 just like 2009 was for the PS3. Still not a match for the PS3's 2010 lineup though. But anyways, the game looks really fluid and well done. The graphics aren't that great, but that's expected.

IdleLeeSiuLung5954d ago (Edited 5954d ago )

If you say anything positive about the 360 and nothing about the PS3 in a 360 only article, you tend to get a bunch of disagrees and bubbled down.

That is just the law of the land here on n4g.com. I attribute to the larger percentage of Playstation fans. You will always get a few guys stealth trolling like the guy right above me. I won't mention any names.

With that said, I don't want to look at this video due to spoilers, but I can't contain my excitement.

Natsu X FairyTail5954d ago

I forgot to say in my earlier comment that the Dialogue between the characters is one of the Best I've heard in a Game in a while.The part when he's in the house talking with his daughther felt like it was straight out of a movie. It felt like the Movie Taken actually which is a good Thriller/Action film.

gamer20105954d ago

That is truly impressive stuff. I love Splinter Cell and I have a feeling this one will be the best.

StanLee5954d ago (Edited 5954d ago )

What exactly does the PS3 have coming out this year that sets it's line up ahead of the XBox 360's? We've already seen how mediocre MAG and White Knight Chronicles are and Heavy Rain is as niche a title as there comes. God of War? Gran Turismo 5? What exactly puts it ahead of the XBox 360's line up?! I really am confused.

lowcarb5954d ago

Good job UBI the game is looking great!

Blaze9295954d ago

Good luck getting an answer from Nostradamus I mean Saaking.

littletad5954d ago

For everyone. Game looks awesome.

hops2cents5954d ago

Man, you are such a sly troll, backhanded compliments and everything. I know you have much more to contribute in you; i'm sure you just enjoy getting a rise out of everyone.

-on topic
the game looks great, I just wish the people demoing the game in these videos, would be more sure of their actions. I would rather see someone who has played the heck out of the game make fisher look like a b@d@ss, instead of taking forever to line up a simple shot from cover :P

DatNJDom815954d ago

This is the only game I want this year on the xbox. Im kinda disappointed in the grafix. but hey gfx arent everything right guys??? its all about gameplay. the gameplay i saw from this game has made it a day 1 for me.

TROLL EATER5954d ago

damn ps3 will be collectin lot of dust this year.

Sam Fisher talks like he's a 60 year old lumberjack.

JhawkFootball065954d ago

No.. more like 40-45 years old and thats what age around what they wanted him to be. This game is supposed to take past after all the previous splinter cells.

DelbertGrady5954d ago

I thought the voice acting sounded a bit stiff and lifeless in the first vid but the graphics look to be more or less on par with Uncharted 2. Simply stunning.

Major_Tom5954d ago

It'll probably have pretty sweet graphics when it releases on PS3.

Boob5953d ago

Probably not, but only because 99% of PS3 multiplats look like utter garbage. PS3 - It Only Does Everything (except multiplats)

i3eyond the Circle5954d ago

This game is so fluid its sickening.

The immersion is like none I've ever seen.

Xbox 360's biggest year confirmed....is all I can say.

gamer20105954d ago

This year the 360 lineup is one of the best lineups I have ever seen. I have never seen so many huge games packed into one year. Any one of these games would be a standout title in a normal year, but having them all in the same year is just crazy.

dgroundwater5954d ago (Edited 5954d ago )

It sounds so good. But I must not watch! I haven't waited since 2006 (earlier if I reference the godly Chaos Theory) just to spoil it's brilliance in a streaming video. :D

hops2cents5954d ago

It's definitely looks fluid. My only complaint in the animation is the crouch/duck walk; I wish there was a little more weight to it; it looks a little too easy for the aging Sam Fisher. I love the detail in the character model especially in cover, he doesn't have that "snapped to cover" look.

gamer20105954d ago

They are actually quite different and I happen to think Splinter Cell is the better series.

TROLL EATER5954d ago

ps3 will be collecting lot of dust this year

5-oj5954d ago

FLOP! also coming to the PS3...

Poor bots has no games. :(

gamer20105954d ago

Nope, it's never coming to the PS3. They built it specifically for the 360.

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.

Bane352603d ago (Edited 2603d 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

hiawa232603d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352603d ago (Edited 2603d ago )

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

Z5012603d ago

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

Bane352603d ago (Edited 2603d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932602d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012602d ago

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

bluebenjamin2603d ago

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

Gwiz2603d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2603d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2602d ago
Movefasta19932602d 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.

Gaming4Life19812602d 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.

bluebenjamin2603d 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

2602d ago
2602d ago
Movefasta19932602d ago

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

Z5012602d 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.

Gaming4Life19812602d 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.

Hungryalpaca2602d ago

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

timotim2603d ago (Edited 2603d 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

lxeasy2892d ago

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

ApexWolf222892d 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.

AG1002892d ago

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

Goldby2892d ago

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

yomfweeee2892d ago

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

BQ322892d ago

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

annoyedgamer2892d ago

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

lxeasy2892d 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."

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