So, in other words, Conviction does NOT run off the UE2 engine, and in fact, is at least 2 steps removed from UE2.5, and indeed never ran off the UE2 engine, and in fact, actually runs off a modified and enhanced version of a different engine, and in actuality runs off an engine that only has vague ancestory to the actual UE2 engine, despite the sensationalist headline.

Yes, that paragraph is redundant on purpose.

Also, the implication of the headline, that Conviction might have old style graphics since it is running off an antiquated engine, is obviously completely false, as we all saw at E3, and in fact, Conviction had some of the best visuals at that show.

Conviction uses the LEAD engine, not the UE2 engine, and this thread should be locked for dishonesty and flamebait.

@Zenfolder

Shut Up!

I am one of the few xbots on this site. ask seece or axumblade.
second stop being such a fanboy!
third i have no tlike d a single game(besides lost odyssey) that runs on the un3 engine( so i was happy about this)
fourth it is the un2 engine

WTF bro...wtf.

Also, besides the bolded, this has nothing to do with the Xbox 360, and everything to do with misrepresenting a game and doing it, and its developers a great disservice.

You know how most of the...people...in the world only read the numerical scores of the review?

Well, an equal percentage of visitors to this site, only read your thread title in passing, and not its body.

The quicker its misrepresentation of the game is gone from the front page, the better. It starts a rumor that becomes an accepted truth amongst the uninformed.

I would complain just as bitterly if this thread had said "MGS4 comes to the 360" and then had an article refuting it.

@dsister44
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory- Unreal Engine 2.5 modified
Splinter Cell Conviction- LEAD (evolution from the engine used in SCCT that was already modified)

They are using an engine that can do what the Unreal Engine 2 can't. That's why it's a different engine now, and that's why is "LEAD" and not "Unreal 2". Ubisoft said: "We're using our OWN engine, LEAD", I think that we have to keep in mind this statement.

LEAD =/= Unreal 2

Bioshock ran on UE2.5 and I never saw any complain.

And what do you want, a medal or something?

The thread title is STUPID according to what is said and mentioned in the actual interview.

OR the title is correct (i doubt it even if LEAD is an optimized and modded UE2 version) and the developer says BULLSHIT.

I am a XBOX fan myself, but that doesn't justify all the silly things I write now and then!

This thread is retarded on exactly five levels.
