Splinter Cell Conviction looks effing incredible!!!

[maltrophstitan]

Again, why does he look Iraqi?

its all the rage nowadays

[str8upnobs]

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

lol, nice MGS burn. I love it .

Here are some main points of the article translated:

- No more sneaking around in the shadows. Apparently you're going to be more like James Bond and infiltrate buildings in plain daylight. You won't have to use force or sneak around as long as you don't act suspiciously.

- According to the article, every single object that is rendered on screen has physical properties and most of them can be used by Sam. For example, Sam can pick up furniture and use it as a weapon, or throw printers at enemies or papers in the face of enemies to gain the upperhand in fights.

- Melee fights are much more than "press this button to hit" this time around. There's different context sensitive attack buttons and as mentioned before lots of environmental interaction.

- Some pretty negative comments about the ps3 made by the devs. They state the fact that they are exclusive to the 360 allows them to do much more than if they were multiplatform (duh) but they also state they doubt they would be able to achieve what they're doing with the game on the 360 on the ps3 even if it was ps3 exclusive.

The lead programmer told the magazine he doubts they would have been able to pull of the lightning effects they have right now on the ps3. That's the only thing they say straight out, but they do state they believe they're much better off on the 360.

And I tried to shrink and clean up some of the scans, here are some:

Looks absolutely incredible... that is all... Best lighting ever IMHO

I would assume the bandana will make an appearance at the same time they have Sam crawling around in boxes to fool enemies, fighting bosses that shoot bee's or lightning at him, and a japanese flair to the american dialogue and storyline.

Just havin some fun, not looking for a MGS vs SC battle.

if you believe that you'll believe anything
fact is there will be better looking games with better & more advanced lighting on both systems
heck I reckon Silent Hill 5 will make this game look like last gen

[Pump Action Pimp]

I never played any SC game before, how does this game rank against Metal Queer? cuz I'm been lovin that MG series since I was 13 played all the MGS series on consoles. Solid snake vs. Sam, dont know who's more bad arse?

[Sufi]

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

You must've missed the crysis videos.

[YoungMullah88]

whatever you say ubisoft, after making two f**ked up ports it doesnt surprise me that you cant get it right. but then again all am asking is pleeease do not **** up rainbow six:vegas, even if you push it two more months i will still buy it(probably the only ubisoft game i will buy this whole year)

It's all a matter of preference. I prefer the more sim-like Splinter Cell then the more arcadey MGS series. But I always get both so I never miss out.

But the ending of MGS 2 was the worst in gaming history IMHO. My friend agrees too. He said he almost threw the controller across the room he was so mad at the ending. And he's a huge MGS fan.

Is crysis a console game now?

[Xaor]

Splinter Cell seems to add plot twist plus more bloody plot twists to keep the story alive, its stupid.

Spy type games are cool, but... a 5th is pushing it.



Graphics look good, not AMAZING, not Gears, but great graphics... for crowds.

Actually it was still better than Halo 2's ending but we're talking about opinions here.

And Splinter Cell may be more realistic because of the controls and animations but its AI is pretty stupid and not realistic at all.

Oh ok, I missed that part. I still don't think it's the best lighting ever on any console. It's pretty good though, not the best.

[zsec]

Maybe they'll revolutionize the game like in Chaos Theory with the knife? They definitely need to make human movement more realistic, and sam needs to be without any NSA gadgetry for at LEAST 75% of the missions, MIRITE?

[YoungMullah88]

but when its mentioned in a ps3 thread(uncharted jungles) its all good right

[TGO]

I like both
but I prefer MGS, it pulls you in more & I sure love screwing around with the guards
And watching them try & find me after I've killed loads of guards
"!
Dam! that ba***** got another one, send another replacement guard to the area.
where is he?"
makes me laugh everytime

[Me_Becoming_I]

That looks great. Nothing mind blowing, but great. Mind you, they are scans.

However, I have an extremely hard time believing a word of the developer regarding the PS3 not being able to handle the game... I'm sorry, but they are sloppy PlayStation 3 developers, so they likely haven't seen what the PS3 is capable of.

I'm waiting on seeing in-game footage of the game before making a judgment. Everything looks better in motion (for the most part). Then I can see just how "amazing" the animation is. It'll be interesting to see if Ubisoft can beat who I think are the kings of animation, Naughty Dog, and I'm basing that on past PS2 games... we haven't seen Uncharted yet...

But looking good.

[C.T.E.]

This looks incredible. I cannot wait for this one. I was reading up on it and the game has me more hyped on the new engine than anything. Sounds like there's going to be a lot of freedom.

well, they did say they don't think "THEY" could do it.

Why should it be? Crysis blows everything right now.

I dont like playing 10 minutes then having to watch 15 minutes cutscenes.

[vorian]

You must've missed the crysis videos.

Hey - point me to the videos of the console version of Crysis man!..

Ive been thinking about building a new PC for the likes of Crysis, Stalker, Armed Assault and especially Infinity(I will lose my life to this).....

As for the SC:C shots, not too bad. I like the physics properties attached to the furnishing and decorators(like that food/drink tray)...cool

[Naxi]

and this is on-topic how?

People don't turn this into a MGS vs. SC thread.

I love both, good for me.

[TGO]

stop over exaggerating
it's 47 minutes gameplay followed by 10 minute cut scene
and as you progress the gameplay & cut scene time increases
