Splinter Cell: Conviction demo in Jan

Yeah, you heard that right, Jan. just got a bit more interesting. Been wanting to try this out and the wish comes true. :D

For SW purposes :P Below what Sam will do to Snake via this game.

Ubisoft plans to release a Splinter Cell: Conviction demo early in the New Year.

Hiphopgamer (via VG247) confirmed a January release but stopped short of unearthing a date.

Splinter Cell: Conviction follows a rampant Sam Fisher on a journey of revenge, as he seeks out his daughter's killers. He'll be smashing people's faces into urinals and sneaking around pulling fancy spy manoeuvres, albeit without his familiar briefcase of gadgets.

Splinter Cell: Conviction is being developed for PC and Xbox 360 and is due out here on 26th February.

So far so good, are our Splinter Cell: Conviction impressions so far.

360 and PC demo or 360 alone? Probably going to be 360 alone :(

Good deal. I might just have to buy me a month of Gold so that I can get it day one.

Going to be the most busy january ever for me, Starting out with darksiders on the 5th, moving on to Army of Two The 40th day on 8th, Mass Effect on the 28th, and this demo :P

Good news. Is still skeptical about this new type of gameplay but graphic wise it looks amazing. Lets wait and see :)

Although Ubisoft is quiet on exactly what happens next, production manager Andréane Meunier says the action switches to Washington for the "majority" of the game thereafter. While it's never an open-world stealth title like Assassin's Creed, individual levels will be vast and non-linear, and Meunier says to expect new gadgets at intervals, but fewer and better than before.

That's a reaction to past criticism, and in many respects Conviction is as a whole - whether it was criticism from without, as at Ubidays, or from within. Sam's new life away from civil service may follow familiar themes, but it's a personal journey designed to breathe life into the character, as he dices with the slick new Third Echelon director Tom Reed (not Kristan Bramwell?), and typically for a Ubisoft Montreal game, Meunier's presentation focuses on how the studio retreated to first principles and re-evaluated the genre before committing to gameplay concepts.

Sam's abilities are based on Mossad's Krav-Maga self-defence techniques, which were motion-captured for the game.

That's been true of games like Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia, too, but while those were criticised in some quarters for falling into repetitive cycles, Meunier believes Conviction will evade the trap. "If I compare to Assassin's," she says, "you would talk to that person, assassinate that guy, and do that, which are very mechanical ways of doing things. Our gameplay is more philosophical. Analyse the situation, do your thing, and then vanish. Even if I do that 100 times, I think there are 100 ways to do it." Meunier talks about the "prepare, execute and vanish" gameplay loop, but planning alone may involve L-trigger stalking, marking enemies, clambering over pipes for vantage points, distracting guards to reach sub-objectives, or many other approaches. Pace has also been a key consideration - not just in doing away with standing for minutes in the darkness, but in quickly evading enemies once detected. It's much easier to control the situation when it starts going against you

I hope this one will be as good as CT.

doubt it....no game can match the awesomeness of CT. also cant wait totry out thisGOTY 2010

I always remain a bit skeptical of Ubi titles. AC2 proved me wrong and I hope this does the same. There have been too many disappointing games from them within the last few years. They always look great before they release, then bam, bleh.

I thought Januar would be boring... I was wrong. horgen123

Wow, hopefully it's true. I've been waiting for a demo to be released.

JK and know it just a error but I was laughing and couldn't help myself. :P

But yeah, Darsiders, M.E.2 and Bayonetta ( tho not getting Bay... right away ) and this SCC demo make the first month of the new year a gamers dream, heck, the whole first quarter of 2010 seems too good to be true.:D

Agreed man. I dont think theres been this much gaming goodness in the span of a month for 1 system.

I really gotta thank you for telling me about darksiders. Been looking it up recently and its EXACTLY the kind of game i've wanted for a long time. Im sure its going to be awesome. Im going to be eating instant noodles for the next few weeks, thats how badly i want it. You should do an official hype thread, im sure theres alot of people like me who'd be interested but just dont know of its existance.

[QUOTE="shutdown_202"] WTH?? how could you possibly even think that January was boring. Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta and Darksiders just of the top of my end, one system. Unless you were actually talking about Januar, i agree.....shutdown_202

Ive always liked Splinter Cell games so I'll try out the demo :D

way to go bumping a 1 year old thread with your first post. the screencaps are from a semi-gameplay cutscene, lIRC it looked much the same as the screengrab.sts106mat
