Splinter Cell: Conviction temporarily overturned

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Jul 24, 2007 4:53 pm PT

Ubisoft delays Sam Fisher's next excursion; superspy now expected to resurface in early 2008.

Ubisoft reported a significant sales spike in its first-quarter fiscal results today, but it wasn't all good news from the French publisher. In addition to the simple facts and figures, the company also announced a delay for the next installment in one of its biggest series.

Originally scheduled for release between October and November, the Xbox 360 and PC stealth action game Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction has been pushed back a quarter; Ubisoft now expects the game to see release by the end of March 2008. It could have some similarly themed company on the new-release shelves, as Ubisoft's newest Tom Clancy brand extension, EndWar, is set to arrive on next-gen consoles in spring of 2008.

    360 Only ? Thats like saying nah ; ) we don't need the xtra money. And whats with all the Ps3 haters out there. The Ps3 is and always will be a better sys. I think that about sums it up, for all you "Microsoft" brain washed gamers......

    Even if Sam doesn't get his high-tech suit, it doesn't mean that the ever-nameless spies in SC:Conviction multiplay won't as well. Spies vs Mercs was good stuff, I don't think Ubisoft will be so dumb as to remove it.

    Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and Pandora Tomorrow had the true splinter cell formula down packed, specifically the multi player package. Splinter Cell Double Agent watered this formula down by taking away some of the key gadgets that made the multi player as challenging and fun as it was. Now, I think conviction is going to KILL the multi player because I seriously doubt they're going to give Fisher his tactical suit, tazer gun. smoke grenades, flashbangs, sticky cameras etc. Now it's essentially become a fighting game. ubisoft is taking a huge risk by abandoning the original formula and I just wish they would have continued on and expanded upon the chaos theory type of game play. I'm not even specifically referring to the campaign because I think the multi player made chaos theory and pandora tomorrow gold. I pray today that some day ubisoft will continue upon that, but my hopes are diminishing.

    I totally agree with Philbo, the storyline is just steadily declining over time. I like it much better when it was more about stealth and the grand scheme of things and less about Sam...

    I reckon that it is going to be a rushed job like the way they did SC: DA. And that you have to get patches for it and everything. Even when that I have updated the computer to highest specs imaginable.
    I also was told that the game is going to be push back to the summer not the spring date that was originally intended for. Which is strange considering that they are waiting for results for AC.

    You do get to use a gun - look at the trailer, Sam shoots up a hot-dog (or whatever) stand. There just seem to be many more options as well as using a gun!
