First off-screen footage of Splinter Cell 3D from Ubisoft. Showing some stealth action and basic moves of the game. Additionally showing parts of the video introduction.
Bruce Morganholt is something of a computer genius. Having been working hard on deciphering the works of Philip Masse (a dangerously intelligent man who was taken out by Sam in the first game), good old Bruce finds himself kidnapped, and placed at the centre of an information tussle between most of the major Eastern countries. Sam, as always, is sent in to rescue the genius and find out exactly what the various terrorist factions are after.
Sound familiar? Splinter Cell 3D, for those that don’t know, is actually a remake of the third game in the series, Chaos Theory. Released on Xbox, PS2 and PC back in March 2005, the story remains pretty much untouched in this version.
Nintendo are set to launch a series of Nintendo 3DS console bundles after the summer, beginning with two of Ubisoft’s big name franchises. Both Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 3DS and the forthcoming Driver Renegade 3D will be included in official bundle packages.
So what if they do bundle? And for all we know, ubisoft begged them to do it to boost their own sales
Yeah I know, but its pretty suspicious with a brand new game isn't it?
Maybe Driver will be terrible, hoping thats not the case.
I actually predicted a few weeks back that if there were going to be bundles, using SSF4 might have been a much better decision to attract core markets.
Splinter Cell 3D is a 3DS port of the single player campaign from Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, and the game benefits from its AAA pedigree. The cartridge offers a full story with cut scenes and gunfights and it’s the sort of title that’s otherwise absent from the lackluster 3DS launch lineup. Sadly, that doesn’t make it a good game. Splinter Cell 3D may be filling a void, but it’s a terrible port with miserable controls and Sam Fisher isn’t enough to make the experience worthwhile.
Medipack = Whiskey?
I think the game looks crappy as hell. Look at the graphic errors with the shaking AI opponent... That is pre-alpha state...
The best launch game by Ubisoft is Rayman 3D. Even though that is a remake of a remake...
In my opinion the 3DS has the crappiest launch line-up of all consoles lately. Nothing worth buying....
Video aside, what's up with the voice? Sounds more than strange...
In any case, I'm not so much of a Splinter Cell fan. I hate sneaking in games...
