Very nice , Looks crisp and clean with a lot of extra detail, Always loved the original Xbox version and these look like they will do it justice.

"Tom Clancy Splinter Cell games remastered in HD, and is exclusive to the PlayStation 3. "

Unless the redid the textures on these, PC version was HD way back when they were releasd. Console gamers just only caught up.

Also its funny they say console gaming is cheap when i would imagine the person who orignally bought it on PC can still play his copy upgraded in full 1080p for free. Anyone who bought it for PS2 now cant play the game on the PS3 and must buy a HD edition on the PS3 lol. Sooner or later they might have to buy the same game again remastered on the PS4 since it may not play PS3 games.

Moral of story PC gamers library simply keeps growing, console gamers have to keep buying the same game again and again.

Pedobear Rocks5438d ago

These ARE the PC versions that have been polished up. So...PS3 owners are not rebuying a game they played on PS2...they are buying a polished up PC game.

cakeisalie5438d ago

Still its as if they bought the game 2x to catch up to PC gamers lol, whats funny they arent even sure if these hd remakes will work on the next box, at which point they might have to buy the game 3rd time. Console gaming sure is cheap lol.

DigitalAnalog5438d ago (Edited 5438d ago )

Because as far as I'm concerned, they didn't have native widescreen HD back then. I don't know if they have the support now.

But more importantly, is this remastering running at 60FPS? Unless, the developers intended to remain 30FPS (for a good reason) then there's really no incentive to purchase this game as it is already available for cheap on Steam.

@cakeisalie

You make it sound as the concept repurchasing products is something new. How many times have people rebought films from VHS to LD's right down to Blu-ray? The whole point of "re-mastering" games is for current gen gamers who can't be bothered to buy a previous gen console (let alone find these games at this day an age in mint condition) to play them for either:

- To catch up on a storyline where sequel is a current gen game.

- Having to overlook these games back when they didn't have much of a following.

It's a very viable business proposition and I don't see any reason why there are negative aspects to this.

"Sooner or later they might have to buy the same game again remastered on the PS4 since it may not play PS3 games."

and you know that how? the games dont need to be remastered on the next console since they only neeed to be brought back for HD and trophies. For all we know the next console could support ps3 and ps2 ames, of course though we DON'T know.

"Moral of story PC gamers library simply keeps growing, console gamers have to keep buying the same game again and again."

see there you go again spewing nonsense you don't know that we have to buy the same game. As for having a growing library good because i just started pc gaming and id be bored if it didn't have any useful games.

But saying pc gaming is cheaper is just wrong, maybe in terms of software, with almost every new game PCs need to be upgraded to be able to play, almost like pay to play. Now again maybe in terms of software PCs have the advantage but their life cycles end quicker and as a result for looking good need to pay more quicker.

Why compare a HD version to the PS2 versions? Of course it's going to look better than that!

Why not compare Splinter Cell HD to each PC version?

cakeisalie5438d ago

Thats because imagine the uproar when console gamers dont see a difference and some of them actually remove the fanboy blinds and discover they actually had to buy the game twice just to catch up with PC version.

Kakihara5438d ago

I think it's actually just so people can see the improvement from the original. Not everything has to be about who has the better toys y'know.

Corrwin5438d ago

@Kakihara

Isn't that the point of HD remakes?

If we didn't care who had the best version, they'd still be selling the PS2 games unaltered.

spirited5438d ago

especially lighting

newn4gguy5438d ago

No co-op on Chaos Theory.

I'm not buying it.

Good work, Ubisoft.

Ubisoft CEO Explains Three-Year Plan to Revamp Game Publisher Through New ‘Creative House’ Strategy

“Assassin’s Creed” publisher Ubi soft is trying to emerge from a rocky few years. CEO Yves Guillemot breaks down the new strategy for success.

rlow15d ago

Well it will come down to the games. Hopefully they live up in o expectation.

“Ubi soft is trying to emerge from a rocky few years“

^ THIS after Ubisoft’s fluff pieces about how great they are doing after Assassins, Attack on Titan and laying offs. The hype fell the floor apparently.

Agent754d ago

I was a bit gutted with The Division, too many bells and whistles like Far Cry. Never rated Prince of Persia or The Crew. Rayman, it’s too long in the tooth, lay it to rest.

PRIMORDUS4d ago

Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, this is all Ubishit can make. It would be better if Ubishit just close down, and sell their other IP's, like Splinter Cell, Beyond Good and Evil, etc. Far Cry and Assassin's Creed can just die, that is enough.

KicksnSnares3d ago

We need a Far Cry 2 remastered/remake.

They should just make games. That sounds crazy, I know, but, hear me out.

No need for dev-times to.take 3+ years. Just stick to formula. Not every game needs to be bigger & better than everything else. Not every game needs to be GaaS. Not every game needs to completely re-invent the wheel.

They KNOW how to make a cool Splinter Cell game; Interesting story, 8-10 levels, just go and make it. Give the people want they know, want and love. It doesn't need to be a shared online experience. It doesn't need to be an epic big open world. It doesn't need celebrity voice-acting. Just make a cool new SC game, and the fans will be happy and pick it up. Easy. Done. Next one.

Same for Prince of Persia, Watch-Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Trials, Rayman, Brothers in Arms, etc.

It was the Switch 2 version that drove the sales.

MayorPauline12d ago

Makes sense as it released on the Switch 2 within the time frame Ubisoft listed up above. It didnt just jump up for nothing. Not sure why people disagree with you but I have two pretty good guesses as to why. 😆

Gamersunite88011d ago

I know. I'm just telling the truth. Lol

PRIMORDUS12d ago

Same shit year after year. Ubishit just leave the industry.

PrecursorOrb12d ago

Financial growth creates more and more layoffs. I always forget about that one

mastershredder11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Riiiight. Let’s pretend that Assassins creed Shadows was a major success (rinse repeat different setting, same assassins creed stuff with bs “new” features) . The game has been practically half off since release.
All their number are from the holiday sales, and Shadows is selling well under what they expected to sell it for. Let’s recap: The second expansion was scrapped, as was the season pass, the co-op was canceled (seriously guys wtf?) and any dlc was downsized in scale effort (Attack on Titan, did not help either, just say’n). This was all a result of recent poor reception/performance in sales and Ubisoft literally downsized, restructured production because of it. If this is success, they are going to have big problems next quarter.

Don’t believe the hype.
