Rumor: Ubisoft releasing Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia trilogies on PS3

by Ben Gilbert on Aug 8th 2010 3:30PM

According to Amazon France listings spotted by The Sixth Axis, both Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia franchises could be getting the Blu-ray treatment in the coming months. Unfortunately, other than a 39.95 Euro ($54) price tag and a November 2 release date, neither listing provides any real detail on what the trilogies might contain.

If Ubisoft is planning to re-release these games as compilations, it's possible that they might feature updated graphics, much like last year's God of War Collection. With a Sly Cooper collection on the way -- and rumors of a Team Ico Collection refusing to go away -- we'd hardly be surprised to see third-party publishers giving their own classics another spin.

conviction is 360 only.. but this is ps3 only? wat..

@cha this is for the splinter cell games that were on the PS2 ( and xbox), not conviction

@cha Trilogy means 3 - that would be Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory. Double Agent and Conviction not included

@MrXBob nah, I was just saying that ubisoft was leaning towards 360 with the splinter cell series but then they do this

@cha
I don't see why it matters really? Would you enjoy the games any less if they were on other platforms as well? Console exclusivity doesn't benefit anyone except a few stupid fanboys.

@Sony Playstation 2
Says the person named Sony Playstation 2.
And why is Cha being voted down? Splinter Cell Conviction was an Xbox Exclusive. It's a little odd that's it's only on PS3, but then again it could be Sony's idea of releasing trilogy sets (a la God Of War).
Anyway, kinda excited. I'd love to play the old Splinter Cell games in HD.

@Special Agent Steve ya, I just hope they have spies vs. mercs

@Bcta30 that's where compression comes in., otherwise there'd be a lot more multi-disc multi format games.. I can think of 2, FFXIII & Rage (which isn't even out yet) ..if done well, no one will really notice.. When MS said they were sticking with DVD instead of HD-DVD, I bet a lot of people were thinking MS will be kickin them selves later..
one odd one is Dragon Age, where there's actually more data of the 360 disc then on the PS3 disc (wtf indeed)

@cha

One Blu-Ray disc vs. 2-3 DVDs. It cuts down on production costs. which are in fact the only costs aside from shipping. I doubt they're going to market this very much.

@cha

So Microsoft paid Ubi to make Conviction a Microsoft exclusive and maybe Sony paid for this to be a PlayStation only thing. What is the big deal?

@cha

/facepalm

@Mazrael

the new castlevania game will be 2 360 discs as well.

It's funny, I was just telling a friend how I wanted to play Sands of Time again. Now it seems I can!

@DJMaxxi

I guess you could say time,
*puts on glasses*
just rewound itself.

Prince of Persia Trilogy. O.O

If its the sand of time trilogy, upgraded like the GoW Collection - I will buy it on day one.

Same with Splinter Cell, but doubtful it will be on day one.

@Faenix

+ trophies.

Trophies for Chaos Theory would be well fun. There are fewer greater pleasures than getting 100% on a level. Would be awesome if online play returned as well!

Not looking forward to the idea of playing Pandora Tomorrow again though, such rubbish compared to CT and the original. It's only redeeming quality being the online mode. Hope this is real, would love the PoP set as well.

i would love too get PS3 Splinter Cell Collection And Then Find out what happens after the 3rd one by playing Double Agent and Convic....oh right that's 360 only so why should i buy this collection ( besides the point of Trophies ) too only not be able too play the 4th game and or play Conviction if Conviction is 360 only .. i don't even get too play the whole story as Sam Fisher !

unless this means that it will be announced on the Splinter Cell Collection Release that it's coming cause i found it dumb that we got all the Splinter Cell Titles but the LAST ONE.

In the mean time should i really buy this collection( i do want it for trophies and i like Collections ) even if i'm not going too be able too finish the story on the Playstation 3 ?

@HardBoiled2009

it'll come, it has too.. makes no sense unless MS paid for some of the dev costs

@HardBoiled2009 - Because, as you know, this is the first time a game in a franchise has appeared on a platform competing against the platform(s) earlier games were released for.

How have we managed when infinitely more important franchises such as Dragon Quest, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Banjo-Kazooie, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera ... have done the exact same thing?!?

If you care that much about the the story in Splinter Cell (someone has to I guess) buy an Xbox 360 and play the one game that you won't be able to get on PS3 at the moment.

Having owned and played MGS1 / Twin Snakes on GameCube, Sons of Liberty: Substance on Xbox, Snake Eater: Subsistance on PS2, and Guns of the Patriots on PS3, I don't see the big deal.

et cetera*, et cetera*, et cetera* ... blimey.

@FaerieTael

Maybe he cant afford to spend $200-$300 to play ONE game?

Cause, well, you do know not EVERYONE likes halo, gears, or fable.

@Faenix - So you pick the one bit of my post that didn't really matter, and then turn it into picking apart the merits of owning either console. Cool beans, thank you internet.

Sorry, but if this 'one game' isn't important to this person, they wouldn't have bothered raising such a complaint.

With love,
PSWii60 player.

@Faerie Tael

other parts of your post werent that important, tbh.

majority of the games listed are on more then one console. And I own every console this gen, except a DS. ;)

He is a splinter cell fan, that wants to play the newest splinter cell title on his console of choice. How is that bad?

@Faenix

I Hope it does come for the PS3 i thought it was out for a year already ( seems like a year ago too me for some reason ) but my friends said it's been out for like 5 or 6 months now.

@Faerie Tael

you may not see it as a big deal to buy a new system for 1 game but i'm strapped for cash also i was told in a PS3 message about my post that the game came out this year not last year as i thought it did. so i can see it still coming too PS3, and I WILL be buying the Collection on PS3 too support Developers to release Trilogy's on PS3.

Faenix, you love turning these things into wars.

And to be honest, i'm renting Splinter Cell Conviction right now, its great and everything - but its nothing to cry about.

please be true

I hope the Sands of Time trilogy is remade. I haven't played any of the old Prince of Persia games.

OH GOD PLEASE YES
PLEAAASEEE
HD PRINCE OF PERSIA REMAAAKEEESS...
SIGN ME UP

Why is Amazon such a major source of breaking game news? Are they bad at keeping secrets or are developers bad at sharing?

@Top Cat

Amazon just fails it seems

@Sally

Wasnt there a rumor theres is a team ico collection coming?

Conviction will eventually release on PS3. All the other SC games released on Playstation after being on XBox and I don't see Conviction as being any different. This re-release is probably the precursor to the holiday release of Conviction on PS3.

@Johnnynumber5 is powered by cell

yea for some reason i thought the game was released in April 2009 and i figured that's dumb were never too get it cause it's been over a year and still no announcement but i was wrong.. i thought Ubisoft always released their games for each console day one but i didn't know that till after i was voted down from my first post.

It would be amazing to be able to play Chaos Theroy on PS3. AS long as its the PC or Xbox version. Not the cut down PS2 version.

@MatthewMk2

I hope you are right...The splinter cell games on the original xbox were much better.

Damn, too bad I already played the Prince series to hell and have absolutely no interest in anything Splinter Cell.

If this rumor is true, though, I may just get the Prince trilogy for the sake of the Trophies and my own collection.

Splinter Cell was one of the first 2 console games I played online, maybe the first. I can't remember if i played Killzone or Splinter Cell online first.

@jah75157

SOCOM was my first :D

@jah75157
My first online game was ChuChu Rocket!... man, if they brought that back for XBLA,PSN, or 3DSWare... be bloody awesome.

@jah75157
@Faenix

SOCOM was my first as well. That was such an awesome game at the time.

I would get a Prince of Persia collection just for Sands of Time. Splinter Cell, meh.

I want the Metal Gear Solid trilogy on PS3!

What do you all think?

I'm thinking that you're thinking what we're all thinking!

@PolishMountainMan

SO
RIDICULES

Haven't played the second and third games of the PoP series, so this looks like a great way to do that if the rumour's true.

All I need now is that No More Heroes port.
Come on Ubisoft! I know you want to!

@L4our

Actually I believe Ubisoft has already specifically said in those exact words, they didn't want to touch it. Although to be fair, I heard it was kinda glitchy, Grasshopper didn't handle it porting it to PS3/360, Feelplus did, and I guess the results were less then stellar.

Sweet

Chaos Theory is among one of my favorite games ever. Also, Spies vs Mercs online? Please. For the love of god, bring it to the PSN.

Team Ico. Now.

please.
