I believe that Ubisoft has killed Splinter Cell, and that we have lost something beautiful, that will never be regained.

Upset the latest Splinter Cell is not on the PS3?

Are you accusing me of being a fanboy?

Let's see:
* You don't have an XBox 360.

* You declare a franchise whose latest game is only on the XBox 360 to be "dead".  The title is also said to be a major exclusive for the XBox 360.

* You create a post in a forum, on a website, which abounds with fanboys who look for any opportunity to take a shot and take down a console they don't own.

So, put all these together, along with your post, and what do you think?  Why wouldn't I think that you happen to be an upset fanboy who is doing sour grapes trolling?  Not saying that it is, but why wouldn't I think this is, based on the pattern of the posting?

Err, I have to be the one that disproves a non-existant accusation? C'mon, fess up. Are you personally accusing me of being a fanboy or not?

 

I also have no idea what you mean by "The title is also said to be a major exclusive for the XBox 360"

"Splinter Cell- Has Ubisoft Surrendered to Chaos Theory?"

 

So your whole basis is "You criticized an 360 exclusive"

To be honest, I'm assuming at the momment that Conviction is going to the PS3 anyway. Ubisoft is like EA, Activision, etc. They go for profit, and I'm confident that they're going to make it multiplat later. So I feel as though I'm attacking a multi-plat game, but that's totally way off topic.

Note that I also make no mention of Microsoft or the 360, but I attack Ubisoft. I'll admit that Splinter Cell, even when it was multiplat, was primarily an Xbox centric game, so Xbox has always been a big part of Splinter Cell, both in its good days, and bad. They're not the variable that's causing its demise.

*shrug*

I really don't know where this conversation is going, and I find it ironic that you accuse me (you are) of being a fanboy, yet you're the only one here that can only think of things in terms of console wars, enemies, friends, fanboys, etc.

I take ownership over my being biased and will admit to it.  The 360 is my system of choice, and the Wii is a second system.  I have the PS3 for exclusives and a Blu-Ray player, purchased when it was backwards compatible.  As far as "burden of proof" when a post walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck ("I believe that Ubisoft has killed Splinter Cell, and that we have lost something beautiful, that will never be regained.") then I can ask if it is a duck or not, or quest the posting motive of the person who writes a eulogy for a game that is not on a PS3.

So, let's take your post's point a bit and let me ask you about MGS4.  In your take, did Kojima kill off Metal Gear as an intellectual property?  I was able to play about the entire game as a Third-Person shooter without bothering with stealth at all (except in the beginning).  I personally thought this is fine.   And your take?

By the way, on this note, I guess I should respect your stealth ownership of Splinter Cell games in this process.

I am totally with you on the connection between the differences MGS4 has in the Metal Gear series & SC:Conviction has in the Splinter Cell series. Both games still retain enough of the feel of the originals and yet they changed up the pacing to fit individual user's taste. Things were getting stale for both franchises before the latest title came out and they needed to change it up for the better.

One last thing SC:Conviction kicks ass!! Deniable Ops is fun as hell, CO-Op is great and the single player campaign is like your favorite roller coaster ride you want to go on again and again.
