Splinter Cell Conviction: the hype thread

I feel bad for people hyping this game. Funny how I was able to look at this game back at last year's E3 and I was asking over and over again how the gameplay is amazing since all we saw was quick execution kills and animation at the time that wasn't as good as Assasin's Creed 2 and Uncharted 2. I got attacked for doing so and now the demo comes where a lot of people weren't impressive. I'm not saying that this game will be terrible, but I will say the the gameplay definitely didn't look amazing. I have yet to try the demo, but I'm sure that will confirm what I've been assuming about the game.

I just hope that people aren't hyping it because it's an Xbox 360 exclusive and it's something fresh relative to the other 360 games like MW2 rather than it being actually being a very good AAA game. If Mass Effect 2 gets a 9.0 only, then I can't see Splinter cell getting that score based on what I've seen from it (yes, I know they are different genres).

My cousin just turns 8 on April 13th...It is clearly a sign that the game will score the same as his age. CLEARLY

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"] Except that you can stealth the entire game in MGS4. You cannot in Splinter Cell. Sounds more like a stealth game to me.Ninja-Bear

Isn't there one part in the original Splinter cell where it's impossible to stealth it?

I'm just now getting into Splinter Cell. Can't believe I hadn't done it sooner. Good series.SpiritOfFire117

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"][QUOTE="Ninja-Bear"] That's exactly why they shouldn't be compared. The whole MGS vs Splinter Cell debate is just silly, because MGS isn't a stealth game. h575309

you should get chaos theory on the xbox though. it's 94 at metacritics whereas the ps2 port is somewhere in the low 80s.

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]

[QUOTE="Ninja-Bear"] Although according to your sig you're playing it on the PS2 which is a shame; the PS2 and gamecube versions were usually nerfed ports of the xbox and PC versions which were much better. KarateeeChop

[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]Meh, the version I have is fine especially for the price I got it for. However, I have made it a priority to get the other games on xbox and 360.

i didn't say the ps2 version isn't good.

[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

[QUOTE="Ninja-Bear"] Your supposed 'full stealth' walk through has the player shooting the first three people he encounters. :|Animal-Mother

have you even played the demo? :|

first 3 people? are you sure?

Chaos Theory pc version was also very good.

[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] yeah and the first 3 people it has you beat thje living daylights out oflafiro93

lol...three people?

you obvious have not played the demo

[QUOTE="lafiro93"]

[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

KarateeeChop

who are the other two?

[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

[QUOTE="lafiro93"]yea....whats so hard for people to understand about that?

toast_burner

who are the other two?

animal mother was talking about "beating the daylight outta" the first 3 guys.

nope, nothing like that

and whats the big difference I played it on PS2 and still had a damn good timeAnimal-Mother

8.5

Hes saying that the demo gives you no choice but to brutally murder the first 3 things you see (4 if you count the guy in the toilet) which is true

This game needs to get a 10.5 or 11 in order to claim the 'best stealth action game' title :P

I still think it will get a 9.0(AAA), 8.5(AA) the lowest it will get. I didnt play the demo but i like the direction its going, even though it looks nothing like a splinter cell game anymore. I loved every splinter cell game with the exception of double agent, the forumla for the past games was getting old, i wish they could have freshened it up a little differently, but its nice to see a change in the series none the less.

I'm guessing half the people here didn't use the sticky cams, portable emps, emp grenades, flash bangs and frags right?

I hate it when people say they've dumbed it down when there are clearly plenty of different ways to go through the game.

And for those who were saying non-lethal takedowns, what exactly were you expecting after you saw the huge amount of videos of conviction which started LAST E3. None of them had non-lethal takedowns. And like I showed in the first link, you can do full stealth. THERE IS EVEN A MODE ON CO-OP WHICH GIVES GAME OVER ONCE YOU ARE SPOTTED.

I can't believe the offical hype for this game is AA. There have been more great SCs then good.

I know.

I'll be watching closely to see how this game does here. If Uncharted 1 was able to get a 8.0, 3 years ago, then this game better deliver an experience just as immersive and fun as Uncharted did. Also, this game is suppose to be longer, so there's more upside.
