Anybody know why they went with Unreal? Was that the original plan? I remember them saying they were suppose to have an advance lighting system that could not be done of the ps3 is that still valid?

Agreed.

It was always Unreal, as were previous SC games.

And actually, the devs said they had an advance AI system that they couldn't have done on the PS3, not lighting. As to whether it's still valid now? Who knows. But since that was said, it looks like they've gone back to the drawing board with the game anyway, on top of which Sony have improved their dev tools significantly.

Yeah your right it was the AI. That right when when first saw it showed Sam in a outdoor scene and he was traversing through the crowd.

edit: here is one of the older vids

Dev diary. It looks cool indeed.

How nice it looks. At 2:13, the stroll along the city street!

Also at 2:43, is that market realtime as it seems to have OB motionblur.

[czekon]

agree looks super cool, i like new moves brutal !!

Nah, no motion blur during realtime segments. Also I'm very disappointed by the low res shadows and scarcity of shaders

[Mobius1aic]

The game looks way to simple, at least as far as holding your hand goes, but the casual crowd is so important these days I need to go back to the beginning of the series and play it through.

Nothing's stopping you from playing purely stealth.

That's yet to be seen

[obonicus]

To be fair, even the older SC games weren't pure stealth, there were spots late in that you have to fight your way through enemies who know where you are. Those parts generally sucked.

I agree

It is good that the supposed super-spy has gotten some skills when it comes to fighting, but I still want the stealth to be there, to pass enemies unnoticed...I really don't want this game to be like, be in the dark, mark and execute, proceed

[Tap In]

a demo for this is rumored to be coming on the Assassins Creed 2 360 version this tuesday

or not

Now that I look at the card that came with my copy of AC2 I realize it says nothing about a demo. It says "Free exclusive Splinter Cell Conviction Download" That probably means it's an exclusive bit of media or a shitty screensaver. It's definitely not a demo because according to the instructions you download it from their site.

[L. Scofield]

So it seems confirmed that as a Splinter Cell game, this entry will completely and utterly fail.

Another victim of casualization

[AlStrong]

Framerate looks horrible in the latest vids. Hopefully a borked capture, but the tearing is still evident. Would definitely have preferred the 360 version for co-op.

[2real4tv]

This will definitely be a buy for me if they clean up the performance issues....haven't played SC since xbox 1 though

For me, this is good news and a reason to be interested in this game (please don't hate me)...I don't like hard core stealth games: give me some action!
That is why I could enjoy MSG4 for instance...it was not hard core at all.
If the devs are smart, there is always the possibility to introduce a 'hard' difficulty mode for the ultimate stealth ninjas out there...(I think MGS4 had this as well)

[L. Scofield]

Yeah, the problem is that they didn't add options. In this game you HAVE to kill the enemies to get past them, there's not even a knock out option. The developers basically removed stealth and replaced it with action : /

Oh, I understand...it *may* not be a good game in the sense of a Splinter Cell successor but if we forget for a moment its legacy; I suspect this to be a great game on its own, because the few things I watched...just looked great

[AzBat]

Still not sure about this game. The last one just totally burnt me. Didn't even finish it & finally sold it. At least I got some stealth playing Batman AA.

Yeah not looking good, the series has been on a serious downhill trend ever since the brilliant first one.

Chaos Theory was the best of the bunch by far.
