it doesnt look any different than double agent.

[panson feo]

Wow. Best lighting I have ever seen in any console game.

There is supposed to be hundreds of characters on screen. Double Agent had 8 max and this game still manages to look way better. UBI Montreal is awesome.

[Sankari]

Wow. Best lighting I have ever seen in any console game.

I hope you are seriously joking. Or you need to wake up.

[panson feo]

I hope you are seriously joking. Or you need to wake up.

My opinion, genius. The lighting is incredible and the game appears to be pushing tons of polys.

[Sockpuppet]

Don't see the big deal personally. I love my Splinter Cell games but the series needs a fresh change, the fact Fisher looks like a hobo indicates this game may well be different enough to justify purchasing a 5th installment. Time will tell I suppose.

to me this is basically the same kind of upgrade that GRAW 2 got, in other words a very small one.

You couldnt be more wrong. The game is supposed to have huge environments now and is pushing tons of characters on screen. If youre a fan of previous SC's you'd know that that is already a massive difference.

Read this.

Yah Finland on the spotlight! Its really phenomenal how the boys in "Pelaaja" have these connections all-around the world. I mean Splinter Cell 5 exclusive-material is huge!

I read the story yesterday and here`s all i remember. Hope it makes any sense. (i haven`t played any SC-games, but SC5 i WILL)


*some spoilers*

Sam is pretty pissed off to the organisation he worked in. He kinda tries to quit, and he becomes a FUGITIVE. Outlaw if you will. A woman she knows gets kidnapped and he goes for the rescue by himself. Without any support from anywhere and without his equipment. The emphasis on SC5 is using your surroundings. Apparently every single object in the game is usable and uses real physics. The developers have put really big amount of work on making the animations on SC5 the best there are. For example Sam can grab a chair while running and there is not a single/multi pre-made animations for this event. The chair has a certain amount of points where it can be grabbed and the "animation-motor" adjusts Sams arms so the animation is fluid and realistic. The Journalist who tested the game said it was still not finished, but the animations looked way better than ANYTHING he had ever seen in a game. Sounds great.

Sam cant kill cops, guards and such, but he can kill terrorists and other bad guys. He has a very good set of close combat skills and can push. and throw people around and this way knock them unconscious. (is that how its spelled?)

The demo level was a park with about 300 civilians. Sam had to make his way to a computer in a bar/office or something. Midst the crowd was some security personnel who were searching Sam. The devs told Pelaaja, that they tried to make the game so, that the gamers has free will over how the game progresses. So there isnt just a couple of linear and scripted ways to play the game. Sam could just blend in to the crowd easily and it was important not to show his face. Sam could "shadow" a person thus making his way to the Computer or he could smack some civilians causing a fuzz in the crowd. He could even blow up a gas tank and thus wreak panic among people. Making it easy to move through the crowd. If Sam causes too much ruckus though, the guards call some reinforcements from the company Sam worked. And they kill on sight.

CHOICE is another big aspect of the game for example if you get caught with another dude (a merchant of sorts/informant etc) you can decide if to help him/her to escape or to leave him to the cops. Of course he/her wont be there for you later on in the game.


*spoiler end*


Hope this gives you some image of the game. The magazine had some sweet screenshots of the game too. The tester was really hyped about the game and glad that they are doing something very new.

And yes its being developed exclusively for Xbox 360.


EDIT: No mentioning of the multiplayer in this article sorry.

Its getting a massive overhaul. If you dont see it you must not have played previous SC's.

[banjo7]

Its obvious this is a Pre render we wont see graphics like this for a long while even Crysis does not look that good on a super PC.

[TGO]

looks like it's using that Assassins Creed engine
So anyway when is Sam gonna get a bandana?

[Naxi]

Wow, definitely a big change from DA. Got me really hyped.

[panson feo]

[J3ff3]

it doesnt look any different than double agent.

[Naxi]

Seems like the stealth aspect will be totally different. I hope they'll release a demo first.

[J3ff3]

just felt zero's comments needed to be reiterated after those amazing screens..........

it doesnt look any different than double agent.

to me this is basically the same kind of upgrade that GRAW 2 got, in other words a very small one.

[GartMon]

Wow splinter cell turning into a yearly franchise like madden or what. everytime I turn theres a new splinter cell game.

[BudFox]

Yeah it's my #1 title for 08. UBI Montreal doesn't **** around, they do good work. Always. Very excited for this game.

[Sockpuppet]

Wow splinter cell turning into a yearly franchise like madden or what. everytime I turn theres a new splinter cell game.

Kind of, they are made by different development studio's inside of Ubisoft so it's not like they only work on it for a year, this game would have started development well before then.

[Galls]

In reality this is only the 3.5th installment of the franchise.

Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory are the only other games in the series.

Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow was the point .5


It does look like it is using the the Assassins Creed engine. little iffy about what appears to be more rambo like game play.

[Chee-up]

Is this the Splinter Cell "5" that is exclusive to the 360?

[chartwel]

looks like its getting close to what we have seen with the getaway. good news indeed.

[zero1661]

Im not blind and you people can talk about how many people are on screen at once all you want but the actual textures, lighting and such look the same, go back and compare screen shots from double agent side by side.
