Splinter Cell Conviction still an Xbox exclusive

With a name like Splinter Cell: Conviction, I hope that the theme song is Boston's "More than a feeling".

What gives with the people hating on Splinter Cell here? The first three games were great - Chaos Theory was definitely the pinnacle of the series. I didn't like Double Agent as much, but it wasn't handled by Ubisoft Montreal. Conviction will be.

As long as a series continues to be fun and tell an interesting story, I can deal with the terminal case of sequel-itis.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory's Spy vs. Merc was the best Xbox Live game ever. There was never anything like it before or since. Multiplayer perfection. Then they completely dropped the ball with Double Agent. Hopefully, they can bring it back to it's roots for this new title.

damn, another one of my most disliked franchises skips over my console of choice. no use crying over spilled milk.

well, we still get to play MGS4, as well as this rumored demo coming out...next month I believe?

(didn't this game go the way of Assassin's Creed?)

I'll be too busy playing Metal Gear solid to even care about this game.

Ubisoft and Exclusive, words that I never thought I would see together.

But is really this MS response to MGS4?,I never liked the SC series so I rather have MGS4 but Okay.

Splinter Cell is okay, just never saw much of the humour factor in it, if you fail a mission, thats it, start again from last checkpoint, no second chance or anything, run away and hide sort of thing :( This is the only reason why I have always preferred MGS.

Speaking of which, theres a stricking resemblence to young Snake in that pic, lol

Nice to see that Sam is still getting progressively younger.

They lost me at Double Agent. While I appreciate the Jack Bauer-esque espionage trickery, I loved Chaos Theory because you had clear-cut goals, and the real creativity came from how you achieved those objectives, not by whose side you were on at the time. I respected the attempt at trying to explore morality through complex choices, but the moral (or rather, ethical) highlight of the Splinter Cell series (for me) was always Fisher's inner turmoil at doing some of the things he had to do, carrying out his orders vs. doing what he felt was the right thing to do. For me, Conviction doesn't seem to be moving in the right direction to bring me back to the fold, but hey...to each his own.
