I think Ive seen them all before..

Still look excellent though. One of my most anticipated games of the year. Almost looking forward to this as much as Pikmin 2.

I like how its looking. A highyl anticipated game for me aswell, but I just won't be able to buy it this year because of lack of money. I'll deffinitely be getting it sometime in 2005 though!

I really wish I had my Xbox right now though - my brother took it away to University with him, so I've got to consider buying another for myself. Tongue

I keep wondering to myself on HOW they can keep making these games look better and better. Yet they still manage to somehow. Because this looks amazing. I just got done selling my copy of Pandora Tomorrow because I am saving up money for a trip. Frown

But hey, you have to sacrifice sometimes. But this definitely looks like something worth picking up.

3vs3 or 4vs4 and better netcode than the previous and Ill be getting it. Either way Ill rent first to make sure it aint more glitchy Ubi crap. I dont think Ill be interested in any game other than Halo around Nov through next year though how could anyone be.

Uh... They haven't said anything about versus multiplayer. Just co-op.

There gonna have multiplayer again they would be stupid not too. Its the only thing that made SCPT worth while.

I think they need to do 4vs4 though in this one it couldve easily worked in the last.

I should also add that this trailer is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and is entirely from the Xbox version of the game.

Sweet new movie... all from the XBOX version.

It will look just as good as the PC version.

Pffft. Check out the GI issue with Sam on the front. You can tell there's a BIG difference between textures and lighting between the PC and Xbox version.

they really are trying to milk this game series as much as they can, aren't they? Every game looks they same, slightly revamped graphics and such, but other, same everything pretty much. While the first SC was something new, something not done much, something hardcore, the 2nd was something to be anticipated, something everyone would like to get, but this one? What is different?

Snapping necks....while hanging upside-down.

Well highly improved AI supposedly, and now they have torches to light up the dark shadows you hide in.

but what changes the gameplay? Surely not a all new weather system will make everything that much more difficult, and while snapping necks hanging upside down sounds fun, does it lengthen the game? does it make the game THAT much more fun? And improved AI? Now that is taking a step in the right direction, and so is the weather system too. But if they keep adding improvments to each game they come out with, doesn't it seem like they are going about this series as a trial-and-error type deal?

Sure, it seems like i am bashing this game pretty well, but only because i don't like the fact how they have come out with 3 games within, what, 2 years?

Splinter Cell is a pretty solid series so far... why are you against more?

Unless you have some kind of bias against the series, I don't know why you'd be against it.

well, in my first post on this thread, i said that the first Splinter Cell was something new, something not done much, something hardcore etc etc, then i said the 2nd one was something to be anticipated. And my reason for bashing the 3rd is because i just don't like the fact how they are milking this franchise and trying to get as much money from gamers as possible and as quickly too. It makes me feel like we, as gamers, are not something different, people who differ in tastes and the such, but just people who flock to anything out on the market.

It makes me feel as if the producers think of us a creatons (sp) who will get a game no matter.

: PRoducers:: Hey! We can release a game over and over with hardly any thought put into it and they will still buy our stuff!!! yay!!

::Us:: *zombie* BUY...BUY...BUY...MUST BUY...BETTER GRAPHICS...MUST BUY... Sleeping

Have you heard of the new, innovative co-op?

How about the new killing tactics, and less of the annoying "Fisher, you are paid to be invisible"

well, like i have said before, my main gripe isn't with the direction the game is going, but just the fact that Ubisoft seems to be "pushing" the whole Splinter Cell series on its consumers, with one game coming out right after the other. Seemingly no time for anticipation. I mean, i haven't heard hardly as much anticipation going around on these boards as i did when Pandora Tomorrow was announced/coming out.

I guess Im kinda inbetween Wesker and Linkami on this. On the one hand, I dont see anything super innovative about this title. On the other hand, I have absolutely no problem with the sequels coming out this soon. I mean, I dont see any other sequel coming out with a bigger list of additions than this. Besides, SC is an awesome series. And theres a fair amount of hype behind this title. Gamespot gave it their award for best PC Game at E3 2004, IIRC.

And its only 3 friggin games.

The only reason I'm sort of arguing is because I don't see a problem with 3 games coming out within 2 years if the games are solid. It shouldn't matter.

the only reason i am arguing is because there doesn't seem to be enough reasonable debates that go on these boards. Or really any different opinions on games that are actually being discussed, that sort of thing. Even though, i have to admit, i do like the subtitle for this Splinter Cell.

I see a problem. If they spent more time on a different game it'd be totally awesome.

I think that three games in two years is serious overkill..they could have done without Pandora Tomorrow and just worked harder on this one. But hey, if it sells and people like it, go ahead. I doubt it will sell more each new release, though. It's a high-profile series, I don't want it to pull a Tony Hawk.

Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory are from two different developers. How would not making Pandora Tomorrow make Chaos Theory better?

Besides, Pandora Tomorrow had some great multiplayer. Probably the most innovative multiplayer of the year. (Waits for the Four Swords goons to castrate him)

I didn't enjoy PT very much because of the steep learning curve. And I absolutely adored Four Swords Adventure. But I'm not about to deny how innovative PT was.
