Disappointed that it's not exclusive to the xbox 360. As it's also available on pc.

Why would that disappoint you?

could we be so lucky and get coop (local) with this game?


Sadly, i doubt it

 

though I'm sure you will mention something about Unchartered thread

No why would I?

I was just hoping for this to have some coop so I and my brother could enjoy this together, if not I am still going to enjoy this.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

Sadly not. Coop games only really apply to FPS, TPS or racers. Not really stealthy slow games. Imagine MGS4 with COOP. I think I would fall asleep. ;)

I haven't played any of the previous Splinter Cell games but am mildly interested in this one.

The action scenes didn't do much for me in the trailer. On the other hand, the stealth ones looked amazing.

One thing bothered me though. There was at one point when the main character busted through the window and shot everyone in the room fairly quickly. However, it seemed like you didn't get to actually do it, just preset your shots before entering...

Do you actually get to play those parts or are they preset actions at the hit of one button? If it is preset, are there many other preset chains of action in the games? Or is the game completely overhauled and no one really knows as of yet?


I'm not sure. I imagine you probably have to interact to make it work. But who knows. There is some hands on that say it works well. So the media like it.


I think the 360 does the aiming but you have to shoot at the right moment, kind of like a QTE.

I hope not.

Regardless, I love the atmosphere and the feel of the trailer and would likely, at the very least, rent the game.

I thought in one video they said you mark targets with the right bumper and then press y to execute each one.  I could be mistaken however, I thought it was in the IGN one I linked above.

Yeah I know but it doesnt mean it isnt doable and I would love to be able to play coop in a game like that and someone has to be first to implement it, you know hope is the last thing to abbandon you ;)

Probably because it sucked in Chaos Theory. Stealth coop doesn't work.
