CVG Splinter Cell: Conviction Preview

CVG writes:

"It's been a long time since we last sat down in front of Splinter Cell Conviction; so long, in fact, we're beginning to wonder if we really saw it at all. Did we really see Sam choking policemen, battering terrorists with chairs and putting foes through tables? Was it actually a mirage? Does Sam really have a beard now?."

"When last we saw it, Conviction was the most ambitious game we had ever seen. Even nine months on, that remains the case. With the old Chaos Theory team working alongside the best Ubisoft has to offer, if it doesn't deliver in the most epic manner possible, we'll consider it a COMPLETE failure. Oh yes."

wow they have real high hopes for this, i do to as ive liked all of them so far, though we havent heard anything for a while now.

Gamingisfornerds6717d ago

The graphical detail was fantastic as were the character models. But the animations were clunky and awkward as hell and the object pick-up system they boasted clearly didn't deliver on the promise.

They said that if you picked up an object, Sam would actually pick up the object where he could as in real life. so if a chair was in an awkward position, he would reposition the chair in such a way, that he could pick it up naturally. This was not the case in the Ubidays demo video. The objects still 'magically fitted' into his hands and arms, so to speak.

Also, the explosions were one of the worst that I've ever seen and the AI was even worse than AC's AI. And the impression I got was that it wasn't as open ended as advertised.

But, it was very early and the delay didn't come as a huge surprise (at all) as it still needed a lot of work. But...

*put's on best Niko Belic imitation*

Perhaps now...things will be better!

predator6717d ago

i see what you mean, hopefully they have used the time to create another great splinter cell game

OOG FunK6717d ago

Yea I got high hopes for this game....esp after seeing how fluid they made the movements in AC and are suppose to use some of that for this game....so it may actually deliver a fresh look into the splinter cell world

mesh16717d ago

as they are using the same engine assins creed belive u me this game will look breathe taking liek assasins creed on the xbox360 splinter cell is the grown up version of MGS

FirstknighT6717d ago

Oh yes...now THIS is a real stealth game. Keep your kiddie MGS game. I like me the realistic experience. Your not going to see Sammy take out a nudie magazine to heal his health here.

pirat10fc6717d ago

Another big exclusive.

And they may announce killer Instinct too.

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Gaming4Life19812596d ago (Edited 2596d ago )

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane352596d ago (Edited 2596d 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

hiawa232596d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352596d ago (Edited 2596d ago )

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

Z5012596d ago

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

Bane352596d ago (Edited 2596d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932595d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012595d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

bluebenjamin2596d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz2596d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2596d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2595d ago
Movefasta19932595d 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.

Gaming4Life19812595d 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.

bluebenjamin2596d 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

Movefasta19932595d ago

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

Z5012595d 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.

Gaming4Life19812595d 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.

Hungryalpaca2595d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2595d ago

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

timotim2596d ago (Edited 2596d 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

lxeasy2885d ago

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

ApexWolf222885d 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.

AG1002885d ago

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

Goldby2885d ago

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

yomfweeee2885d ago

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

BQ322885d ago

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

annoyedgamer2885d ago

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

lxeasy2885d 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."

TheRealHeisenberg3025d ago

No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.

Vectrexer3025d ago

Are we confused? We get games that we've been enjoyed before at no cost to us!

C-H-E-F3025d ago
