So one last time, and please answer this one question before you accuse me of being irrationial:

1) Sam being detected, and going toe to toe with a enemy with his fists and objects.

2) No Light and Shadow, but instead the "hiding in plain sight" philosophy of social stealth.

3) Shitty ass Bourne music

The worst argument I heard, when I used to lurk in the Convictions forum was that "Oh, they replaced the shadow with crowd!".

 

 

If I am so irrational, and not accepting of an evolution in gameplay, then please show me one similarity that indicates that the past 4 games were an ancestor of Convictions.


1) We have yet to see any OTHER fighting videos of Splinter Cell Conviction.

2) We have yet to see MORE of Splinter Cell Conviction

3) We have yet to HEAR more of Splinter Cell Conviction

Stop basing everything off of one video made in '07. I wish I could show you the similarities in gameplay, but sadly, I have yet to have seen pretty much ANYTHING of Splinter Cell Conviction. Also note that every take down he did on someone was on a practically unarmed guard. I bet that you can't pull that stuff on the ARMED guards.

I hated Pandora Tomorrow and loved Chaos Theory. Shadows and lighting and most importantly the Stealth Guage are all Splinter Cell's core gameplay. If they take THAT out, I'll believe that this isn't Splinter Cell. Until then...

We have yet to see more/anything at all of Splinter Cell Conviction.

You've completely avoided my question with the assumption that there'll be nothing similar about the final form of Convictions and the video I showed. You, with no evidence, assume that Convictions will be a traditional L/S game. I with evidence, which is the last thing we saw from Convictions, am assuming that the gameplay will be somewhat similar to what we saw, and will at least be a social stealth game. And due to the story direction they took with Double Agent, they indeed will go with the Bourne theme.

So, again, do you agree that if Convictions come out in a form similar to the clip we saw, that it indeed will be a total rape of the gameplay? I still leave out a tiny bit of hope that they'll make it a L/S game, or that they at least put in a element of L/S (You can go into a "stealth" mode, like AC's "active" mode), but based on the most reliable evidence, I am assuming that it won't.

I hope to god that they do make it a L/S game. I can get an 360 a few years later when I get a job and buy the Arcade (which should be $99 in a few years IMHO) and play this game, or who knows, they might port this game to the PS3. But until we get more new info, I'm standing by the info we have so far, and am pessimistic.
