To be perfectly honest, I'd rather have this than the new Metal Gear.
Just sayin'.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who found MGS4 to be a bit of a bore. A lot of great ideas that just didn't spark a whole lot of interest in me. The story was fantastic, but the environments were pretty uninspired to me. It felt like a "because we have to" sequel.

MGS4 gets a lot better after chapter 3, you should really try to push on. The final two chapters are amazing.. although I agree, up to that point the game is very boring.
But more importantly, the gameplay in MGS4 is very lacking. The controls are clunky and the stealth is very monotonous. I've never really played any of the Splinter Cell games, but I can definitely understand why the MGS series might be moving away from stealth, this series just seems to do it so much better.

I can't wait for this, it's going to be sweet. Still can't believe it's an exclusive.

Wow, I had forgotten all about this game. Looks like they redid a lot of stuff and got rid of the emo hair everyone was bitching about.
Anyways, looks like its gonna be an awesome year for the 360. I hope Sony has some good anouncements too. I don't want my ps3 to get lonely.

Meh.... as in AWESOME. Can't wait, played a few Splinter Cell games before, but I suck at stealth. Maybe this will help me lol.

I really like the storytelling/mission projections, they remind me of stylized credits from a movie title sequence or something.
Everything looks spectacular mostly, some of the animation transitions just need to be cleaned up. I hope they're bringing back Spies vs. Mercenaries for multiplayer too, at least as one mode... I want to see what other new things they could do too.

Agreed. The game looks wonderful, but I couldn't help but cringe at some of those animations. I'm sure that will get smoothed out before release though (I hope).
This should be able to hold me off until a new Hitman comes out :).

Just wow, I thought I was done with Splinter Cell after the unnecessary last few entries to the series, but KUDOS to Ubisoft for really taking the game into a new direction, this looks AMAZING.

Holy Frack me sideways!! I can't wait. The stylized movie-like presentation. That mark and execute stuff (a little bit of R6 Vegas), climb anything (Assassin's Creed), and the action itself (Splinter Cell, 24, and a little bit of Bourne and shake well).
Ubisoft, this this game out and make it great.

I kinda forgot about this game when it seemed like it was never going to be released. After seeing this demo/walk thru .... OMG, it looks amazing.

I agree with snowblind (except I thought the whole mgs4 experience was great), the controls were the best by far in the mgs series but clunky (what you expect from mgs)...this conviction is pure stealth/action/shooter/puzzle heaven....i haven't been this excited for a game since metal gear 1.....i'm a bargain bin gamer....but this is a stand in line-gett'n trampled on-day 1 buy....very excited man.....very excited.....
side note: i really tried to get into chaos theory (everyone thought it was awesome), just didn't grab me....
I WANT THIS GAME NOW!!!!

Wow. Just...wow. I couldn't believe that restroom scene was gameplay at first.
Hope the multiplayer is back as well - DA's was an abomination.
Michael Ironside should voice Mario :)

I would barely say that part was playable. Seems about like the execution scene in Double Agent. You get to walk the guy to the walls, but when you get there Sam will automatically do the interrogation tactics. In other words, it will play out the same every time you do it. So that bit seems a little bit gimmicky.
Don't get me wrong, this game seems super sick. I wonder if you will still get points taken away for using lethality and your standard gun. The marking enemies bit seems to be mostly focused on using your pistol when you bust in on them, but I like to do things without the pistol in SC games.

I love that you don't have to be worried about the light meter and that you're a far more dangerous presence in the game now. I also hope they reinvent the Spies vs. Mercs multiplayer to make that just as good as the single player looks to be. I love the Splinter Cell franchise and I cannot wait for this game. E3 has been awesome so far.

Yes! Splinter Cell in my country! Pity it's only just a tiny part.

Jack Bauer + Jason Bourne x contained sandbox environments = Splinter Cell: Awesomesauce

Looks fantastic, but I can't seem to see the difference between "mark and execute" and "see a bad guy and then kill him."
Guess finding out will be half the fun :)
