Gaming Splinter Cell: Conviction Hands-On Preview

We take a look at the latest build of Splinter Cell: Conviction, which has finally re-emerged from development hell with a new, non-hobo look and a darkly cinematic feel. Is the new direction for the series a good thing, or did we prefer what we saw of homeless Fisher? Find out at:

Oh damn, can't wait for it to be released. When I saw the trailer I was excited, but now I'm ecstatic!

 

Is Ironside still voice acting Sam?

 

I think its high time they made stealth a player choice instead of forcing it on the player, that said it would be much more injoyable at
least to me!

 

Thats what they were saying at a recent conference.
Can't wait for this game, I'm a massive fan of the series to date and this just looks amazing!

 

I haven't touched the franchise from the first game. The whole point of this high level secret operative is that missions and targets remain the same but the actual way you go about things evolves and you have to think quick on your feet to stay alive. I found the game to be so linear and pin point follow the set path that my excitement just evaporated and I have seen little since to go back to it, especially as an Ubisoft production, who over simplify everything they ever touch.

Want to know what I want to play? How about this?...
Thief / Hitman / Goldeneye / GTAIV.... all crossed and mixed together. Then you really would have a dark, deadly, explosive, expansive and most definately immersive game on your hands.

 

Yes.

And you CAN action-through the game, but it's still stealth at heart from what I've seen. That's a good thing. It's a game about spies and stealth and there are plenty of action games out there for fans of that. This is a game aimed at stealth fans.

 

looks awesome!!!

 

"and not from The Guy Outside The bit-tech Office Who Always Mumbles To Himself."....Ohhh, i got a mention. Good times.

 

I don't really understand comments like this, its a stealth based game. If you don't want to play a stealth based game, then don't. There are plenty more first and third person shooters out there.

 

this character carries weapons, he uses weapons I would like to see him use less stealth but I like the game get the picture!

 

This looks pretty special now. They've got something to make up for after SC: DA it must be said... :\
