Next Splinter Cell Game Revealed For Xbox360, First Info >

	The name of the next Splinter Cell game has been revealed. Splinter Cell: Conviction is slated for release at the end of this year. Foreign Magaza Pelaaja has a cover story that gives us the scoop on the game as you can see by the image. The game is slated only for the Xbox360 right now (may change), and the article reveals the following info. The game takes place in broad daylight this time, but don't worry, it is still a stealth action game. At the beginning of the game, Sam learns that Anna Grimsdottir (Anna is the person in charge of intelligence gathering for Third Echelon, and an old friend of Sam's) is in danger so Sam joins up with Third Echelon once more in order to help. Unfortunately, 3E is not what it used to be, and Sam frequently gets incomplete and bad intel, as well as the wrong equipment. All this, and the 3E bosses are in the middle of a political squabble for control. Sam eventually finds out that the threat is actually coming from inside Third Echelon itself, so he leaves and basically becomes a fuigitive. Looks like Sam is on the wrong side of the law once more, this time for real. *Updated Info: Here is some added info we just grabbed for you folks. Remember, nowhere else but GR has this info! As we said, the game is played mostly in broad daylight, with the crowd working as a "dynamic cover" for Sam. The game's interface helps the player using two itmes: there is a "hero instict" meter of sorts, which allows Sam to see enemies with infrared style vision, and a danger meter which shows how close you are to being spotted. Seasoned stealthh players should be used to features like these. The close combat has been likened to the "Bourne" series of movies and books. The player can only kill mercenaries and terrorists, but can fight and incapacitate guards and civilians. The physics engine is central to gameplay this time around, you can use items as weapons, block doors with furniture etc. -- some really cool stuff there. Also, the enemy AI is dynamic, so your enemies react to what you do and act differently each time around. >Link

I'm quite fond of double agent, conviction should be very good.

i didnt care for double agent, even though i loved every previous game in the series. i have high hopes for this one since ubi-montreal is developing it.

also this gane IS exclusive and has been announced as such. dont expect this to show up anywhere until its released on the 360 first

After Chaos theory,the formula got tiresome for me. I was going to pick SC:DA up for the PS3, decided that it just didn't appeal to me. It's too bad, I loved the 1st two, got bored midway through SC:CT (3) and never finished.

This series is too slow pace for me.

I love the Splinter Cell games! Splinter Cell has always been my favorite sort of stealth action/adventure game series!

Kenny K is correct, Splinter Cell 5 is exclusive to the Xbox 360 in terms of a console release. Splinter Cell 5 will also be released for the PC, though, so that is what DM was referring to when he said it would eventually be announced for something other than the Xbox 360. It is cool that the Xbox 360 appears to be the primary development platform, which means the PC will be getting the port.

We've known for some time Mrs. Gates that SC 5 will be 'exclusive' to the 360. Thanks for telling us absolutely nothing new...with all due respect Mrs. Gates.

The PS2 and Xbox version of double agent are done by Ubi Montreal, I'm trying to play thought that one, but I did like the nextgen version.

Splinter Cell series has long been this unofficial exclusive games for the Xbox becasue the ports on the PS2 are all too crappy.

I played the 1st three on my XBOX 1 (or is it Xbox 0 degrees?, LOL)as well.

@Vae

luckily you didn't pickup SC:DA for the PS3, the 360 version had better graphics. I tried the demo, but it's just not my kind of game.

Yeah, I worry about R6 Vegas, Ubisoft has been putting lackluster efforts into porting their games.

Anybody wanna make a wager? How stupid will the AI be, more or less

place your bets!
