Splinter Cell: Conviction Comic-Con trailer is packed with action, accolades

+1.

Or maybe just call it Badass.

End of story. Just:

Badass.

Maybe even a "badasserest-the-game" tag?

Indeed Ryan.

I demand Splinter Cell Conviction get a Badass: The Game tag.

I'll settle for that or a GotY tag.

Badass : The Game

.... is already taken: http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/07/15/atluss-new-brawler-gets-a-name-badass-brawler/

It's also really annoying to hear it called this over and over again.

Downvote me all you want, but there's nothing I haven't seen that wasn't in The Bourne Conspiracy game...

You can see an aging Unreal engine and its devs from a mile away.

unfortunately that Bourne Game had poor gunplay and it was 5 hours long. it also didn't have Sam Fisher. You clearly can't appreciate the bad-assness of BADASS the game. there I said it? annoying?

I concur.

Badass for PS3, now called: Uncharted 2

Seriously, between this and Uncharted 2, this fall will have enough gaming action heaven for everyone.

I didn't think National Treasure was all that good

but ryan... if both systems have great games... then how am i supposed to lord my superiority over purchasers of the other console?!? can't you see what you've done?

Oh, me. Always interested in the games and not the consoles...

:P

I thought so too, but then I watched the video in this article:

He actually looks like that, at least in the first game. But you're probably right about the younger part.

well at least in double agent he looked a lot different, gruffer, almost like max payne 3

I agree. Sometimes I just want to play the same things over and over again.

Your fanboi has blinded you. This game is going to kick ass.

BTW there is still stealth, but this trailer is about beating the people responsible for his daughters death to a bloody pulp.

this still is (mostly) a stealth game. for this sort of trailer though, they just wanted to emphasize lots of people getting the shit kicked out of them.

also, Splinter Cell already had its version of Uncharted 2. It was called Pandora Tomorrow. And Uncharted 3. It was called Chaos Theory. By the time the 5th game in a series is reached, its probably time for a major overhaul.

one last thing. YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT. In the hands-on preview of L4D2 you said "what bugs me is that, when it comes to reviews, there is no differentiation between lazy developers like Valve and those like Naughty Dog or Insomniac". Do you seriously just go around bashing every 360 exclusive, even if you go against your own former arguments? In L4D2 Valve manages to "imply keep the best of the earlier game", they "up the graphics and gameplay one notch" (better looking zombies, new crescendo events, etc.) and they "add a ton of new content" (4 new campaigns with tons of replayability). Now I know I'm not the biggest proponent of L4D2, but I don't go against my own words arguing for or against it.

sorry, i raged and forgot to tie things up.

So, in essence, because Conviction is on the 360, the sequel should be basically the same, with only minor improvements, as the last Splinter Cell game. Yet you also claim, just because L4D2 is only on the 360, that it is lazy for being basically the same, with only minor improvements, as the last L4D game.

Yeah, nice fanboy there.

^ I'm not sure what you were trying to say there, but I'm going to say, "Good job!" so that way you don't try to do it again...

Lets get a few things straight
"fanboi has blinded you" "go around bashing every 360 exclusive" "seriously just go around bashing every 360 exclusive"
Which is all rubbish - This is NOT a 360 exclusive - its on PC. And there are games on the 360 that I appreciate - Alan wake and Mass Effect in particular.

And L4d2, with barely any graphics or gameplay update "new crescendo events" notwithstanding, is simply an expansion pack. Its lazy work from Valve, and I stand by my words - and its a consistent problem with Valve the last 2-3 years, no updates in their Half-Life 2 engine, awful PS3 ports, and now L4D2.

And finally, the problem I see here with Splinter Cell is not that its lazy (in fact the developers went back to the drawing board from what I remember). The problem is that its turning away from being a stealth game to a Bourne clone, and I am appalled because I am a big fan of the stealth genre. I would be pretty happy if I were wrong, really

Valve doesn't do the PS3 ports. They don't have devs that are fluent enough in PS3 coding.
