Splinter Cell May Have A Future On PS3

Splinter Cell Conviction's creative director, Ubisoft Montreal's Max Beland, has told Edge that future series outings could appear on multiple console platforms.

Asked whether the Splinter Cell franchise has a future on PS3 considering the publisher's increased focus on Sony's platform, Beland said:

"I don't see why it wouldn't. I'm not involved in the business deals. I joined Splinter Cell after the exclusivity deal with Microsoft had already been signed, but there's no reason why Splinter Cell couldn't be on the PS3. Conviction? No because of the exclusivity deal. I know people keep talking about maybe, maybe not, [but] at Ubisoft Montreal I haven't seen anyone working on PS3 for Conviction.

"[The next game] is open to new deals," he added. "If Microsoft wants an exclusivity deal, they don't call me, it's Yves [Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO] dealing with the business people. But yeah, I guess we could even be a PS3 exclusive if there's a deal that makes people happy there."

did they say ps3 shadows or darkness failed thats why they could never bring this game to ps3?

If that is True some of you best play god of war 3 because
that has the best darkness and shadows i have ever seen

When you remove the guys head you will see what i mean

Disccordia5917d ago

Originally, Ubisoft said the PS3 couldn't handle the AI.

THC CELL5917d ago

The AI hahahhaa lol They best talk to NG uncharted has the best Ai ever seen........
hahahaha lol

Carl14125917d ago

Microsoft paid for Splinter Cell exlusive, am confirmed

:)

krisq5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

This topic will get hot. Fast.

krisq5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

Because last line of PS3 exclusives didn't prove anything... right...
I agree... fully...
If you're reffering to the comment made over 2 years ago then god just killed a puppy because of you.

[edit]
I guess you're joking :). Not so obvious. Good job!

ludabenza5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

I think you forgot to add the sarcasm there, lol. Besides a ubi developer has actually recently(2009) said that it could run on the PS3. The proof below.

http://archive.videogamesda...

Back on topic. Anyone denies at least the possibility of Conviction coming to the PS3 is just dreaming. I mean it might not come, but given that every single other Splinter Cell game has come to other platforms outside of PC/Xbox, just shows you the possibility of it going elsewhere.

Microsoft have more than likely a timed exclusive deal, at least in my opinion.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

I wonder how many PS3 fanboys will just read the title and think Splinter Cell Conviction is coming to the PS3. Splinter Cell has been on the PlayStation before but the fanbase didn't embrace it like Xbox fans. No reason to make a game for a platform when you can't sell enough to make up what you spent developing it.

dredgewalker5917d ago

@Jason
It wasn't well recieved because it competed with Metal Gear Solid, but i did play the game and i liked it.

tapzzz5917d ago

i still believe that MGS4 exhibited some of the best squad behavior i have ever seen

PotNoodle5917d ago

Killzone 2 had incredible AI

DARK WITNESS5917d ago

I don't really see why this is such a big deal...

past Splinter cell games have already been out on the PS consoles, MS got this one exclusive ( whatever excuse they had about it being exclusive i think was just a cover, bottom line MS wanted something and got it. it's not like it's not been done before ).

so while this SC is exclusive it does not stop the series returning to it's multiplatform status in future or an exclusive going the other way in sony's favor.

it's not really that big a deal is it ?

Syronicus5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

And they were magically released on the PS3... Can't imagine the AI in SC being any better...

The Dark Knight5917d ago

looks like a awesome game, if it comes out on ps3 i might check it out, but luckily i got my 360

DaTruth5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

Out of all games, this is the one I want to cross over! Only read a little about it because I don't visit the 360 side much(only on Sundays when news is slow and I've read all the PS3 and PSP news), but it kinda strikes me like Tenchu with guns in modern times!

That's a formula I have been dreaming about!

Chubear5917d ago

So I see all these naysayers now spewing "Oh, Splinter Cell has never been exclusive so this is no surprise"

when it wasn't that long (and there are a lot of forum history postings on this) that anyone who said SC:Con was obviously coming to the PS3 later on was meet with "LOLZ! noob, if you want Splinter Cell:Con you better get a 360 cause it will NEVER be on the PS3" "Noob, the first SC was an Xbox exclusive so no PS3 version for this one". Those mighty copy n' paste listings of hot anticipated exclusive games on the 360 always have SC:con on them...

.. but now let's all pretend we all OBVIOUSLY knew SC:con was eventually going to go multiplat and wasn't really a 360 true exclusive. WOW, just madness.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5917d ago

Still, Im gonna get it for PC, because is the only platform with good graphics and gameplay for Conviction.

Splinter Cell is most likely coming for PS3 someday.

we won5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

No one is talking about conviction lol. Did you guys even read the article?

nycredude5917d ago

@jason

I'm a ps3 fanboy and I could care less if sc comes to the Ps3 cause if it's really good I'll just pick it up for my 360! BOOM!

I know this concept is foreign to idiots but yes it is physically possible to own multiple consoles.

Also the previous splinter cell games weren't well received on PS cause they were crap games with shoddy design and bad tech, especially the recent one.

Also Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell.. Duh! No Brainer.

Blaze9295917d ago

"Conviction? No because of the exclusivity deal. I know people keep talking about maybe, maybe not, [but] at Ubisoft Montreal I haven't seen anyone working on PS3 for Conviction. "

well finally PS3 hopes of SP Conviction can be laid to rest - it's NOT happening.

TrailerParkSupervisr5917d ago

Is the only way to play a game as visualy stunning as SC. I'm not trying to brag about being able to own a decent gaming rig by any means but for those gamers out there that have never played a PC game, man, you are really missing out.

I picked up a pretty decent rig for $999.99 and yes that is more than a console but you figure the games are cheaper, all the mods you can do PLUS you can take it anywhere if you get a laptop!

I've played crysis on in the park!

For some reason it's showing me his posts... his first post is minimized normally for an ignored person but the rest are all expanded. I've tried refreshing but it does nothing.

So yeah that's the explanation on that.

nix5917d ago

you're always commenting on the wrong articles... specially articles on PS3 exclusives (san this).

-MD-5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

I own a PS3 so why wouldn't I be in those articles? There is a reason I've never posted in a Wii article, it's because I don't own one.

you're never in Wii articles because there you can't play "salez".

Explain to me how Splinter Cell is an exclusive franchise?

Every single Splinter Cell game has been multiplatform until this one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Someone spin it for me.

Edit:
Star Ocean was a Playstation exclusive franchise until Microsoft snagged The Last Hope.

Oblivion has always been multiplatform I have no idea where you're pulling that from.

Kane and Lynch was never exclusive.

Blue Dragon 1 and 2 are still exclusive so I have no idea what you're talking about here.

Dead or Alive wasn't an exclusive franchise, it actually started out on the Playstation.

Stomped all over you son haha, enjoy that. G'night!

Next time read the news and not just the title.

Grown Folks Talk5917d ago

to come out when the PS3 wasn't out yet when it released. It was already intended to be on the PS3. FF, DMC, GTA, Ace Combat, Tekken, bla, bla, bla. As long as I can still play it, who cares? People act like you all of a sudden can't enjoy it anymore because it is coming out for another system too.

snaz275917d ago

i have trouble keepin up with the ps3 exclusives, but hes hardly likely to say yeah is he! lmao, wasnt the same said about bioshock? gta dlc? ninja gaiden? every so called 360 exclusive lol.

snaz275917d ago

to say you cant enjoy the game, but its a bit tit for tat.. also you get 360 fans bragging about these exclusives, that turn out to just be timed, or even they are on pc, the same is hardly ever said for ps3 exclusives.

PeptoBismol5917d ago

Jason3FixMe is butthurt yet again!

snaz275917d ago

so they get a nice check from MS for this game, but they tarnish thier image in the process, every ubisoft game i want will be bought pre owned, they wont see my money.

Udidntlistenpunk5917d ago

Haha, the bots annoy my skin. Time to take out the fly swatter.

Hahaha

AngryTypingGuy5917d ago

Udidntlistenpunk,you didn't read, punk. They're not losing Conviction, it's a 360 exclusive. The guy just said that future SC's may be multiplatform again, as they always were. Conviction would've been multiplatform too, it's just that MS ponied up some cash for this one.

Watch Ninja Gaiden II, Fable 2, Fable 3, and Splinter Cell Games Enhanced for Xbox One X in Action

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

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

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

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

No it just became backwards compatible today

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

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

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2584d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

Movefasta19932584d 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.

Gaming4Life19812584d 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.

bluebenjamin2584d 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

Movefasta19932584d ago

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

Z5012584d 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.

Gaming4Life19812584d 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.

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?"

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

ApexWolf222874d 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.

AG1002874d ago

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

Goldby2874d ago

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

yomfweeee2874d ago

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

BQ322874d ago

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

annoyedgamer2874d ago

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

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome
