Behind The Scenes Look At Splinter Cell: Conviction

@fatheadwilson:

They actually released all of them on PlayStation

@Dead Giveaway: it might be hard to go back a generation, but the xbox1 version of Double Agent has 2 player co-op like Chaos Theory and a different story mode too.

I am a die-hard Splinter cell fan and I approve this message. Stealth mechanics and a moody atmosphere are fantastic and all, but we had that for four games. It's time for a change of pace.

While this is looking very promising, I can only hope that it's still holding onto its stealthy roots.

Splinter Cell Action Game = DO NOT WANT
Splinter Cell Stealth Game = DO WANT

@fatheadwilson: The original Splinter Cell, Chaos Theory, Pandaora Tomorrow, and Double Agent were all released on Playstation 2. This is going to be the first exclusive Splinter Cell title.

@ieatchocolate: This one has always been announced as an exclusive.

@fatheadwilson:
Yeah, it was short and sweet. It's always fun throwing fools over railings and into the water, too.

I'm anxious to hear about the multiplayer side of Conviction. I hope they take it back to the Pandora/Chaos Theory roots.

@cyhborg: I know, right? That thought hadn't occured to me until I watched this behind the scenes, and now it's glaringly obvious. Oh well, I guess it's a minor thing.

@Gyaruson: I totally forgot about the boat mission. That was a nice little surprise when I beat the game.

@ieatchocolate: Did they ever release SC games on Playstation? Not being a dick, I honestly can't remember.

If Sam is using a mirror to see under doors, shouldn't the image you see be upsidedown? Just bugs me.

@Stealth_chill:
I understand your concerns. I'm assuming you played Double Agent then? Not the best in the series, but it really used the whole "stealth amidst the action" thing very well. That African warzone level in particular was so tense because everything was falling to hell around you, while you still tried to be hidden. From the demo they showed, and everything I've seen so far I really like the direction they're taking. Given the ending of DA it makes sense that you are in the position you are in, where stealth is no longer an objective from some higher power. So you can really do whatever you want to get what you need. If you prefer to play all stealth-like, feel free. But for those who want to bust caps first and take names later, you can do that too.
||DOUBLE AGENT SPOILER - DO NOT READ IF YOU'VE NOT PLAYED DOULBE AGENT AND WANT TO||
This game, from what I've heard, takes place after the "best possible ending from Double Agent". But they've said that Lambert is dead in Conviction. The best ending in Double Agent had you killing the JBA agent instead of Lambert, after he was captured. From there you take down the head JBA guy, flee to the boat, plant the charges and jump off the boat as it explodes. Doing all that gets you an achievement for beating the game in the best possible way. Are they changing their previously stated set of rules, or merely taking some liberties?

@Dead Giveaway:
I agree. The co-op missions in CT were so fun. I loved launching my teammate at an enemy like a human torpedo. That was the most satisfying why to take someone down.

Can't beleive everyone is selling out right now. To me, this game is way too action based and does not fit well with the rest of the series. Mark and execute is a terrible idea for one. Also, turning everything black and white when you go into hiding is terribly un-immersive. It will take me right out of the game instead of in CT, or PT you were scared shitless when you saw one guard comming towards you. Now in CT it looks like thats gone because you can take out like 5 guys no problema nd still take 12 bullets to the chest. Jeez. Im a die hard fan so im going to have to see more before i even think about pre-order.

@aphexmalus:

Same. Why did they suddenly go exclusive, or is it a timed?

ieatchocolate

This game totally blew me away at E3.
I cannot wait for October, This AND Forza 3?

Awwwwww yeah!

@SansSanity:
Agree.
But I'm also really curious as to what Halo: Reach will be like.

Looks good I really hope the PS3 see's a version of it...

Holy crap the shy girl was too damn cute <3

This game is a Day 1 purchase no doubt about it, but please have some Co-op options.

SC:CT had a great 2P Co-op mode which was missing from SC:DA.

Bring that shit back!

Ha, keycards! So 21st century...

We use DNA scanners now!

Cannot wait

bluem4gic

Well, it went pretty damn good!

Kris Cortez

Eagerly waiting for this game... personally it was one of the high points of this E3 for me (this and Alan Wake I guess)

SansSanity

Hilarious when that guy was talking to himself. LOL

@aphexmalus: And 360 get's a port of MSG4. Everybody's happy.

Well, except fanboys. And unhappy fanboys birth future serial killers ...
