Splinter Cell PC delay attributed to polish, not DRM

they need to tighten up the graphics on level 5.

Most DRM schemes do seem like a bad polish joke.

Moving the market to the consoles is probably the idea, for piracy reasons. I mean, what other excuse does Infinity Ward have for gimping the PC version?

And the new PoP will probably be like the last, alright as a game, but the ending will also make me want to kill myself.

IMO the ending of the last PoP game was the only good part. Platformer games should not be sandboxes, or at least should not be done like they were in that PoP game. The mechanics of the game were great but the overall gameplay was very tedious and the story was lame until the ending.

combat was the last PoP's biggest flaw. I think that game has the worst combat in all of video game history

Oh no! Beaten to my own joke. *downvotes self*

The demo didn't look any worse than the predecessor. I'm honestly surprised at the amount of people that seem to prefer graphics over gameplay. I just finished playing through Chaos Theory for the twenty first time(yes, I keep count), and the game is still as enjoyable as it was the first time around, despite looking extremely dated now.

Xbox version looks amazing . . . Don't let the FMV game-engine videos (especially the one in the demo itself) or even the pre-rendered scenes dissuade you from enjoying the visuals, they really are top knotch in realtime.

i just sold my psp. no way does it get more love than the PC.

I gotta ask, what does Microsoft trying to get more money out of people have to do with Ubisoft delaying a game to polish it?

They'll just stop making games for the PC unfortunately. Simple as that. They can get away with it since the PC is a relatively small market.

it's more expensive to port a game from the PC to the 360, than from 360 to ps3.

maybe when cryengine 3 comes out, they will abandon PC, since with that engine you can simultaneously build for all 3.

or who knows, maybe that will bring more games, or keep them on the PC as well.

Microsoft obviously paid for (timed maybe) exclusivity. You won't get that on a PS3 any time soon.

The developers now are trying to curb used games on the console front as well.

Up with analog rights management? Yeah! Down with the DRMs and up with the ARMs!

That's the anthem, get your damn ARMs up.

Or it's just me :p

and the ubi soft ass lickers start to appear too......

do you really believe that crap??? ubi has always been the BIGGEST complainer about piracy on the p.c.... but the funny thing here is that there are many other companies who keep selling their games and don´t complain: bioware one example, the guys of the witcher ( who sold more than 1.5 millions copies on the p.c. alone) not to mention the sims, or COD or any other game, ubi soft blames piracy for their low sales but the truth is that their games are nothing but averange, if not then why pop 3, splinter cell 3 and king kong sold millions of copies when they were released??? those games had starforce and that protection was unbeatable for a full year.. why they didn´t say: look !!!! 10 millions copies sold!!! we were right piracy is stopping sales!! they didn´t because those 3 games sucked big time.... until this day ubi has only created one good game far cry 2, and they didn´t complainn for the sales right?

how good are the sales of ubi right now??? i mean there are not cracked versions of assasins creed 2 right?? so i suppose they should have sold more than 20 million copies right???

there are two things that any responsible company shouldn´t permit: to lose customers with stupid protections that doesn´t allow you to play and to create garbage expecting to sell it like hot cakes. no mater what you think, because what we want is exactly what they should be worry about....

What would make it a real version and NOT a port? It's supposed to be the same game.

im not talking about DESIGN i´m talking about TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS, if you don´t know what i´m talking about just check devil may cry 4 for the p.c. and the consoles versions, you´ll understand then what´s the meaning of taking real advantage of a machine that is technically better than any platform, plain simple...and not a stupid port that works slower than the console version with the same low res textures and all the limitations that a console has.

There'd better be subtitles or I'm out, cos Polish is a bitch to learn
