Splinter Cell: Conviction Apparently Freezing 360s

Gamervision reports: After years of waiting, gamers finally have gotten their hands on the latest Sam Fisher adventure, as Ubisoft has finally released Splinter Cell: Conviction. However, reports are starting to trickle in about a glitch in the game that is causing 360s to freeze up a short ten minutes into the game. Apparently the issue rears its ugly head when reaching the first weapons cache in the mansion area, at which point the game will completely freeze, forcing players to reboot their systems.

WAY!

Actually, as most things on internet, I'll say it's probably a mountain being made of an ant hill. I don't believe everyone is getting the issue, but wouldn't rule out someone having the problem too.

Have you ever guessed how many consoles die out there per year? It's a 5 to 6 digits number for PS3 (which is supposed to be within the industry standard). Now just think a moment about freezes, disc read errors, corrupting saves and what not, on a less reliable 360.

I still can't play any copy of GOW Collection on my perfectly working 60GB PS3, most forums I asked about any solution people called me a liar. Not cool to be in the short end of the stick, that I can guarantee you. But my personal case don't make GOW Collection unplayable on every PS3 around too.

So don't call out 360 owners having the problem, but don't blow the problem out of proportion too (like this article probably just did).

better not spread that around here at ps3 central... you'll have one bubble in no time.

i see the disagrees have already started.

ChozenWoan5877d ago (Edited 5877d ago )

I would wait for the PS3 version that is coming within the next year, but I've got MGS4 and UC2... don't need this Max Pain wannabe game.

To corneliuscrust
Actually most people on here only -bub trolls, spammers, and liars. If your telling the truth, not even fanatics can hate.

PS.
I would +bub ya corneliuscrust, but I only do that to those with pics in their avatar... nothing personal, just my OCD kicking in.

SlipperyMooseCakes5877d ago

It is due to the update I believe. It's more so Ubisoft's fault than Microsoft's.

It freezes for me right after I go to the weapons cache.

Fishy Fingers5877d ago (Edited 5877d ago )

Updates, patches, it all goes through certification. Still, it's hardly an uncommon occurrence in this day and age, hopefully those suffering get it sorted soon.

Nothing more annoying than a new game that you cant play.

50% failure rate what do you expext???? seriously

2% of the market, what did you expect? internet fanboys are nothing, and they know it. har har har.

Mo0eY5877d ago (Edited 5877d ago )

Did someone call my name? It's okay that I haunt you bots with my one bubble comment. After all, I know you feel the need to read what I have to say regardless if it's pertinent to the topic because I piss you all off. :]

On topic: No wonder people have said it takes 8 hours to fix - 5 hours to play the game, and 3 hours spent trying to unfreeze the flopbox.

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.

Bane352587d ago (Edited 2587d 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

hiawa232587d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352587d ago (Edited 2587d ago )

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

Z5012587d ago

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

Bane352587d ago (Edited 2587d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932587d 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?

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

Gwiz2587d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2587d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2587d ago
Movefasta19932587d 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.

bluebenjamin2587d 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

Movefasta19932587d 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

Goldby2876d 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."
