Splinter Cell Conviction Demo on Realism

resumeplay.net writes: So Splinter Cell is almost here and I thought it would be interesting to see and hear how everyone played through the demo. After playing a bunch of times, I found that this way was my personal favorite and also pretty effective. So how did you do it?

Way different than how I played it.

smashly5901d ago

Yeah me too, I'll try his way out though.

WhatARump5900d ago (Edited 5900d ago )

That's pretty cool. You can play it however you like =D

One of the best MGS features was that it was upto you, as to how you wanted to play it ^^

I've never really been into Splinter Cell but I hope we see a Ps3 port!

Bigpappy5900d ago

but I only play twice. The first time through I picked up that enemy's guns, when straight through the basement door and player it like a shooter. The mechanics worked well, but it didn't free like Sam Fisher. On the second play through, I decided to play more stealthy: I did not pick up any guns; I only used my silent pistol and my hands; I climbed through the back window as he did (only there was a guard at that window, who I grab and tossed out the window; then I took care of the rest with my pistol. I did not use the mark option as much, as I am use to doing SC games the hard way. If the game has a lot of enemies in some areas or if there are high achievement awarded, I might consider using it more. He did a great job though.

VenerableBmoney5901d ago

Few demos have ever made me WANT to play multiple times.

SKGamer5901d ago

I still haven't played this, but I'm really meaning to. As soon as I finish Perfect Dark so I can review it, I think I'll try this.

But yeah, its really cool that you can do different styles of play to beat the levels. A lot of games claim you can use different styles, but few actually deliver. Most games that claim that, each level is designed with a specific style in mind. Like Modern Warfare, kinda implies you can go stealth or guns blazing or whatever, but each level pretty much dictates what you'll do.

brandynevils5901d ago

I don't see why people complain about the writings on the wall, I like it.

ASSASSYN 36o5901d ago

It is obvious who doesn't like it. This is an exclusive 360 game.

BeaArthur5900d ago

brandynevils...I agree, it's an original idea and from what I have seen in the demo it is a cool way to give you updates without reading little script texts during the action. I hope more games employ this type of story telling.

Greywulf5900d ago

is it exclusive to the PC too?

Hellsvacancy5900d ago (Edited 5900d ago )

ASSASSYN 36o, mofo, let me just point summin out, id admit the game looks poohy, but i hav also said (in past comments) that i like the writin on the walls, its a cool touch, other then that it hasnt got anthinelse goin 4it (my opinion) looks a little meh

The Time Reaper5900d ago

Novel concept indeed, but it breaks the immersion for me. I'd rather see better integrated visual clues than "DO THIS HERE" messages. I guess I need to see how the full game plays out before anything though.

Parapraxis5900d ago

It reminds me of the use of typography in the TV show Fringe.

VenerableBmoney5901d ago

I like the objective overlay on walls and stuff too. I think it's a cool way of integrating everything you need to move ahead in the game.

Is it terrrible that I had no idea that outside pipe was even on the warehouse? No wonder I always get caught.

BeaArthur5900d ago

Yeah, I found that randomly on my second play through. I also didn't realize that you could shoot that thing off the ceiling and kill those two guys. That is what I love about games like Splinter Cell, it can play out differently every time you play it.

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.

Bane352595d ago (Edited 2595d 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

hiawa232594d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352594d ago (Edited 2594d ago )

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

Z5012594d ago

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

Bane352594d ago (Edited 2594d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932594d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012594d ago

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

bluebenjamin2595d ago

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

Gwiz2594d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2594d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2594d ago
Movefasta19932594d 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.

Gaming4Life19812594d 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.

bluebenjamin2594d 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

Movefasta19932594d ago

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

Z5012594d 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.

Gaming4Life19812594d 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.

Hungryalpaca2594d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2594d ago

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

timotim2595d ago (Edited 2595d 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

lxeasy2884d ago

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

ApexWolf222884d 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.

AG1002884d ago

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

Goldby2884d ago

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

yomfweeee2884d ago

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

BQ322884d ago

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

annoyedgamer2884d ago

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

lxeasy2884d 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."

Vectrexer3024d ago

C-H-E-F3024d ago
