Splinter Cell’s new visual direction?

Splinter Cell

Apparently Splinter Cell Conviction has not been canned and is very much still in development.

Not just that but it is also undergoing an entirely new visual makeover which according to the developers

“Splinter Cell Conviction is certainly not canned, despite what the Internet rumour mill says, and won’t look significantly different to what you’ve seen before,”

This is one of those games that had some huge hype around it a while back but in all honesty I now expect it to be an utter disaster. There was obviously a huge problem with the game and going back and trying to patch it generally doesn’t work.

Let’s hope it lives up to it’s previous hype but don’t hold you breath.

So much for the Xbox 360 having the great exclusive, I seem to also recall people saying the PS3 couldn’t handle this game… it seems the 360 wasn’t so great at handling it either.

    I’m a huge fan of the series, so it’s nice to hear that
    it isn’t canned as I was really looking forward to it.

    Wow Lazy you’ve become very cynical in, is Aus getting to you?

    “This is one of those games that had some huge hype around it a while back but in all honesty I now expect it to be an utter disaster. There was obviously a huge problem with the game and going back and trying to patch it generally doesn’t work.”

    Clearly you’re getting your information from a very reliable source, cause you speak with such confidence “There was obviously a huge problem with the game” so what was it like? did you see some code, a new trailer, some screenshots maybe, did you get on the phone to one of the developers maybe? do you have a reason for your statements? why has your response been so negative?

    maybe Ubisoft are taking a different approach maybe just maybe they’re changing their development strategy and not following the “churn out a game per year”. how about they’re looking at putting a little more care into their product making sure that it delivers on their promise, I don’t remember their being a set release date, and I haven’t seen a trailer only a work in progress video if there was any hype around this game it was caused by the internet not by the publisher.

    If it plays anything like Double Agent, keep making it. That last game was awful. Thanks, chaps.

    Generally when games are “Taken back to the drawing room” it implies that there was a huge problem.

    Double Agent was buggy as hell, but I still enjoyed it.
    Chaos Theory was the best tho imo.
