Is Pachter Wrong Again?

Ironstar writes; "There have been a lot of rumors going around involving a Playstation 3 version of Splinter Cell Conviction. Recently Michael Pachter even predicted that the game would release on PS3 by stating, "Ubisoft gets it, probably a minimum six months, perhaps year exclusivity on 360, but you will see those games on PS3 as well." We have seen a lot of evidence that supports these rumors, but a tweet from Ubisoft says otherwise."

He's an idiot so why should i care? Anyway, if it was on ma PS3, i wouldn't buy it. It would most probably suck.

lociefer5888d ago

And again, and again, and again

Blaze9295888d ago (Edited 5888d ago )

Ha that box art does look mighty good with PS3 touch...I'm just saying.

BeaArthur5888d ago

I didn't even read what it was about (assuming Splinter Cell: Conviction by the picture), as soon as I saw the title I already knew the answer was yes.

Inside_out5888d ago

I doubt anybody in the industry would even talk to this guy...he reads the same articles we all do...

From a sales point of view...the game should come out on all platforms....

StanLee5888d ago (Edited 5888d ago )

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The law of averages dictates that he'll be right sometime and while I wouldn't usually bet on Pachter being right about anything, I think this may be that time when the law of averages plays its hand.

DJexs5888d ago

He is a weather man of the industry it is ok if he is wrong in my opinion there is nothing wrong with an educated guess.

Reibooi5888d ago

"I hope Michael Pachter has some very serious inside information on this subject because from the looks of it Ubisoft is not letting up on the fact that Splinter Cell Conviction is exclusive to the 360 and PC."

Yeah and neither did ANY of the other developers who had their games come to PS3 after the fact. It's part of the contract. Would you want the developer saying Oh yeah there will be a PS3 version so you can just wait if you want. No MS wants people to think it's a exclusive for as long as possible but as soon as the contract expires BOOM there will be news left and right from Ubi that the game is coming to the PS3.

This game in particular should be a prime game to come to PS3 due to it's development. It's a known fact the game had trouble and at one point was completely scrapped. That's why the game took so long and with that being the case it must have been expensive to make and thus being on the PS3 eventually is a good idea for Ubi.

solar5888d ago

so he was right once?? highly doubt that.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5887d ago

xXRight3yeXx that doesn't stop you from wishing for it in the comment section every time a new rumor pops up about it going to the PS3.

BkaY5887d ago

gaming analyst my azz.... he is not been right for ONE thing ONE god damn thing..

Maybe this is a rare exception to the rule "Pachter predictions are wrong"

Chucky20035888d ago (Edited 5888d ago )

The game will come on PS3,i didn't know that twitter now is a real source of information

Malik4Play5888d ago

It did come straight from the developer...

gaffyh5888d ago

@above - Even then, it most likely will come to the PS3. Remember all those times 2K said Bioshock was exclusive to 360?

You know the rest...

IdleLeeSiuLung5888d ago

yeah, but I don't know if Bioshock was exclusive by contract with MS or if it was because the PS3 was still just trickling into the market?

gaffyh5887d ago

@Idle - If it wasn't exclusive by contract, 2K would have announced Bioshock for PS3 as soon as they could. They announced it almost exactly 6 months after the 360 version, so definitely seems like they had a deal with MS there.

End of the day it doesn't matter ps3 owners have to many good games to be worry about whether splinter cell will be coming to the ps3. People are to busy playing god of war 3 to worry about if patcher is wrong or not lol.

UltimateIdiot9115888d ago

Not just PS3. If you own a PSP, more reasons like MGS:PW, KH:BBS, and VC2, you'll probably never get to SC:C.

ElementX5888d ago (Edited 5888d ago )

Typical douchebag response. "We have blah blah blah and this and that and who cares about Splinter Cell?"

As a PS3-owner (except DSi) I can say your argument is bullsh!t. It has been used countless times years ago and it's extremely cliche and pathetic. Splinter Cell games are typically pretty cool, to dismiss them because you have something "better" is just plain stupid. God of War 3 only lasts so long. April is basically a dead month for video game releases. Conviction is the one game I wish I could play but I can't since I don't own a 360. You should drop your fanboyism and accept the fact that the competition can have decent games without bring up the fact that PS3 has such and such game. Grow the f#(k up.

BTW learn proper English, your profile has about 100 grammatical errors and makes you look even more like a douche.

BkaY5887d ago

"BTW learn proper English, your profile has about 100 grammatical errors and makes you look even more like a douche."

i just checked his post. i can write better English than him and English is my fifth language.

better question would be.....

Will Patcher ever be right?

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.

Bane352611d ago (Edited 2611d 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

hiawa232611d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352611d ago (Edited 2611d ago )

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

Z5012611d ago

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

Bane352611d ago (Edited 2611d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932611d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012611d 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

Gwiz2611d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2611d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2611d ago
Movefasta19932611d 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.

Gaming4Life19812611d 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.

bluebenjamin2611d 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

Movefasta19932611d ago

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

Z5012611d 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.

Gaming4Life19812611d 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.

Hungryalpaca2611d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2611d ago

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

timotim2611d ago (Edited 2611d 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

lxeasy2901d ago

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

ApexWolf222901d 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.

AG1002901d ago

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

Goldby2900d ago

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

yomfweeee2901d ago

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

BQ322901d ago

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

annoyedgamer2901d ago

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

lxeasy2900d 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."
