Should the splinter cell franchise remain Xbox and PC exclusive is the question asked. Are PS3 gamers no longer interested in the series?
CVG- "Word on the street is that Microsoft has been showing developers its next-generation hardware, and according to multiple sources close to the project the new Xbox console is codenamed Durango.
However, like Sony, Microsoft is still saying it won't be showing off its next home console at E3 next week. So what does it have in store for us? The obvious guesses are a little more Halo 4, perhaps some more Forza and a smidgen of Gears of War. For the less obvious guesses you'll have to watch our E3 prediction videos below."
Regardless of what we see; I'm pumped about Monday's press conference. I fly in tomorrow.
I'm impressed as a good a show on MS E# as anything that has been shown thus far. Fair assessments whether they are excited or not. Good stuff CVG..

I'm surprised they would publish this report AFTER the Judgment leak, which they clearly had no inkling of, despite making very confident predictions.
Just makes then look a bit silly.
well ubisoft is gona be at microsofts so i think that splinter cell might be there
According to a number of sources, a new Splinter Cell will be unveiled at E3 2012, with a release date of around January 2013.
I'll be skipping Blacklist since read the article and it states it will play like Conviction
Ubisoft doesn't care about the Tom Clancy brand anymore....Used to love the tactical/stealth gameplay of these titles....
Rainbow Six
Ghost Recon
Splinter Cell
It's so sad because the Splinter Cell series was my favorite during the ps2 days...now it's all gone to sh!t :(
Seriously though, how awesome was Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory? God I missed those days....
Who in their right mind liked Conviction as a SPLINTER CELL game? It was fun, sure. But I can get third person shooting from other titles. If I play a SPLINTER CELL I want stealth, non-lethal options, ability to sneak past guards, I want to lockpick, I want NIGHT VISION, THERMAL VISION, EMF VISION....not sonar vision. :3
Conviction should just be its own franchise starring Sam Fisher and restart the SC series with a new agent. That'd be good....but will never happen :(
If Blacklist comes out on PS3, I'll most definitely be getting it. While it wasn't nearly the same game as the first three Splinter Cell games, it was still an incredibly good game.
Thinking of it as something other than a SC game, it was the perfect blend of stealth, action, and story.
Personally, I don't see why people dislike it so much. I played almost the entire game like a stealth game, and all they really did was take away the instant game over just because you didn't play it perfect. Aside from a few select parts, you can play nearly the entire game as a stealth game.
I'm really loving how everyone disliked Conviction. Glad to know that I'm not the only one.
I must be the only one who didn't hate Conviction. It wasn't as good as the first 3 games, but it was leaps and bounds ahead of Double Agent.
I wish they would bring back the 2v2 spies vs. mercs MP mode. I have no clue why they stopped.
I liked it, but it was no Splinter Cell game. Also, what was that bad with Double Agent? The SC gameplay was still there and the last gen versions were amazing, and the current gen version was still pretty good. I didn't care for the regen health but it was still a "true" SC title.
I don't think people hated Conviction. I think people are disappointed with the direction it is going. It's turning into a shooter. I still thought conviction was fun but not even close to being as good as the originals. Chaos Theory was simply amazing and Double Agent and Conviction left me scratching my head.. Why can't they be more like the first 3 games?
I thought a few months ago that the game was going to be more like the originals. I could have sworn they interviewed the head person and they confirmed that? But if it is a sequel like this site claims then what a letdown.
I'll try to find a link to the video, but I swear that's what I remember hearing.
Splinter Cell 6 will be revealed by Ubisoft at E3 2012 with a planned launch in January next year, according to XGZ .
I said this when there were rumours about a sequel to Conviction, that there's not much reason for Ubisoft to ignore the PS3 audience. Not anymore, especially when they released the Splinter Cell HD trilogy on PS3 only last year. Any technical reasons? Can't imagine so. Unless Microsoft has handed them a heavy cheque, I see no reason. Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed is good enough for PS3, so Splinter Cell 6 without a release on that platform is an anomaly.
No , the size of the dvd what hold kojima to release his games on the xbox360 but i hope he release his games on all possable consoles to let people experianc his amazing games , i also hope he find a way to not effict the ps3 version of his. Next game
And the Metal Gear Solid games are no longer exclusive.
MGS4 is though and I think it would have been on 360 if the game hadn't been big enough to fill a dual layer Blu-ray.
Oh please. This game originated on the original XBOX.
The PS3 doesnt have enough RAM to be co-op through a campaign with an open stage. If a PS3 game is to have campaign co-op, its very constricted. People can get mad but its the truth.
Ninja Gaiden 3 & Ghost Recon:Future Soldier is ruined due to simultaneous development & those of us that have relentlessly played these games know the difference.
Rainbow 6:Patriots & Splinter Cell:New, if it isn't exclusive to 360, I'm not buying them for the 1st time in the history of the franchise.
I wont throw my money away.
whoa dude, if you care about those issues so much, why not get it for pc? The experience will be better, nothing toned down. And plus you can still use a x360 controller.

i want the same exact thing. on the original xbox it was above and beyond anything graphicaly. coviction was just average. bring back the gadgets, knife and split jump. if they bring in anything from conviction, id say one up it and add multiple enemy takedowns like the bourne movies. ubi montreal was and kinda still is my favorite developer. i hope its them making it and they do it justice
UbiSoft will be on MS stage. So probably Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed III or Rainbow Six with exclusive DLC of full exclusives.
Despite the declining sales on the PS3 compared to Xbox as indicated, I think the soon to be released HD remix of the old games might rekindle interest from PS3 gamers.
The more people buy the game the better chance of improvement. I think the series could stagnate if it's just single platform. However, Xbox gamers need as many exclusives as they can get.
they should keep it exclusive to the pc\360.ever since the first game came out on the ps2 sales and interest has steadily decline from ps owners.
I just want it to be hard core again.
I played Splinter Cell games in PC and they were great, but I feel after Chaos Theory the series went in a wrong direction and I have lost my interest in it. Maybe one day I'll give it another chance...
I just never had that much interest in the series to begin with... and I first played it on XBox... I was actually more interested when they went the "24" route in, say, Double Agent, but by that point the games just weren't very good.
