Splinter Cell: Double Agent Multiplayer Hands-on

When Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow hit Xbox three years back, the game brought mixed reactions from gameplayers. The single-player game had it moments, but it was the multiplayer games that garnered near unanimous positive results. The co-op play showed signs of greatness, which was extended in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, yet another in a long list of highly rated Tom Clancy games from Ubisoft. While a few grievers griped about the two titles' ramped-up difficulty level, a majority took the toughness as a challenge, and kept plugging away, despite the often huge gap of skill levels that often occurred on Xbox Live, if you didn't bring your friends to play.

The Ubisoft Annecy and Ubisoft Milan teams, like always, have studied the reviews, listened to their communities, digested the feedback, and in response, have created a dual-layer multiplayer experience that they hope will make it easier for noobs to jump in and play, yet still deep and challenging for experienced sharks to sharpen their serrated hand knives to. Using the Versus modes as its basis, Ubisoft once again delves into the adversarial Upsilon Mercenaries Vs. Echelon Spies territory, enabling up to three people on a team (six altogether) to play as either military defenders or gadget-dependent stealth spies to infiltrate and defend an abundance of structures, houses, and HQs.

I would prefer a "Starfield" one.

These are the same Bethesda tables from FX3 now upgraded for VR . I bought this Bethesda pack for Pinball FX3 around 5 years ago. But when the new Pinball FX came out a few years ago , they wanted me to buy the same tables again, which is ridiculous .

Seven cancelled racing video games that could have been great

From a fourth Project CARS to a Dakar-style open-world racer that set the template for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are seven racing games that didn’t quite make it.

Blur was decent, although the control system could've been better, Blur 2 in the video looks good. Project Cars was massively overrated and full of bugs, Dirt 3 yes, a new Dirt Rally no, rally games have passed me by. Project Gotham Racing 5, Ridge Racer 8, Wave Race 4, Crash Team Racing 2 are up there. Ridge Racer Unbounded had everything apart from the gameplay, there was also Split Second which was decent, the Burnout series became boring as with rally and F1 games. A new Wipeout is due, also F-Zero. I wouldn't say no to Outrun 2 on current consoles as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks, then Outrun 3. Wipeout VR on the PS4 was awesome, that's due a sequel. I remember Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, that'll never see a sequel. The likes of Turismo and Forza have become boring. Forza Horizon not so much. Road Rash and Super Hang on 2 others. Chase HQ has never gained legendary status on any console.

I would do anything for a MotorStorm on PS5. Or just the trilogy in 4k/60. RIP Evolution.

darthv7213d ago

Evolution did good on those games... but we don't need them for a trilogy remaster. It can be done by Sony's master of remasters: Bluepoint.

Storm2313d ago (Edited 13d ago )

For sure. I don't even think it would need that talented of a studio. Upping the resolution and framerate would be all that's needed. Of course I would take the trilogy with a complete overhaul on the graphics, but upping the rez and framerate (and some great AA) would easily be enough for me.

If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.

Knightofelemia17d ago

I wish Square would port other old games to newer systems I want Xenogears.

gold_drake17d ago
