Actiontrip's SCDA preview

[illumni.]

This is a preview from the site that 'generic_sheep' gave an image gallery link for. There is a bit of multiplayer mode talk but mainly 360 SP talk: http://www.actiontrip.com/previews/splintercelldoubleagent.phtml

That's the second website saying PC only gets Spy vs. Spy...

That's enough! What the hell is going on?
Can't anyone from UBI soft make up their minds.

This article here: http://www.gamesradar.com/previews/default.asp?pagetype...86&subsectionid=1594 (http://www.gamesradar.com/previews/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=38586&subsectionid=1594)

Claims "There have been tough calls to make in Annecy, too. That studio's unique, exquisitely tuned spies-vs-mercenaries multiplayer game found a passionate fanbase in its two incarnations to date, but has been judged too involved, exclusive and forbidding for most Splinter Cell players.

It has regretfully been ditched (from the GameCube/PS2/Xbox versions, at any rate - 360/PC multiplayer remains under wraps).

Under a new mantra of accessibility and 'instant fun', a spy-vs-spy, third-person, 'acrobatic stealth combat' game has been designed. The maps are compact and symmetrical for quick understanding, but laden with secrets and traps."

Which tells us that SvM won't be available on GC/PS2/Xbox but SvsS will be.

Then this new article as quoted above states:
"PC, PS2 and Xbox versions will have a brand new Spy vs. Spy mode and some changes were also made to the 3 vs. 3 MP mode. The Xbox 360, Xbox and PS2 versions will see the return of the Spies vs. Mercenaries multiplayer mode and, as you'd normally expect, Live! support was also confirmed for the Xbox 360 version."

Which is the right info? we've different information about the different versions. The only constant that seems to be occuring is that SvM will NOT be on PC. Even the latter article is unclear whether PS2 and Xbox will have both or not. If so why not the PC? In all nothing makes sense.

Ubi better get their story straight, 'cause non of their PR representatives do.

Get it together

from the sounds of this us PC users are getting SCREWED OVER!!!! What the HECK ubi, this info better be false i mean common what are you THINKING taking SVM out of PC we LOVE it!!! and all this stuff about PC being current gen...??!?!?!?!?!? i wanna see a RIOT during the jail mission not a couple of boringly timed explosions to SIMULATE a riot... http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_mad.gif grrr oh im mad.

on the flip side SVS does sound pretty darn cool http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif and im interested in playing it but why take away one of the games best parts??? why ubi? why? http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Guys I think everything will be fine. Ubisoft did this last year where they said that SvM was being replaced by co-op, but then they both showed up. So probly both SvS and SvM will show up on hopefully all systems.

No Shanghai level for PC?, dude that sucks.

[scworld]

It's hard to make conclusions yet. Everything contradicts...

[Piskix]

Xbox360 will get exclusive Shangai Version yes, all other platforms will not get it, but each platform will get 2 exclusive mission...

probarly PC get another Jail level and second one (sarcasm) http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif

If PC doesn't get SvM, then this is the last Splinter Cell game I'm going to buy. I got about 3 other friends who play SC too and they'd make the same commitment.

SvS. How **** stupid can you get? Ubi might as well be living under rocks; they just have NO IDEA what their community wants. Go ahead and cater to the FPS button-mashing kiddies out there Ubi.

Honestly, what do you think when you start giving different perks to different platforms? Do you think it's gonna force people to go out there and buy a console if they like the features in the PS2/XB/GC? Not likely. This segregation in content is just going to split the community more and get a lotta people pissed off at you.

I hope PC has the Shanghai level. I hope Ubi Shanghai is in there. I hope Sam can infiltrate the building and start slitting developer throats. You put THAT into the XB360 only, and I'll go drop $500 + $50 to do that for the rest of my days.

(Make sure you make them squal like little girls when they get cut!)

Shangai mission is X360 ecxlusive!!!!! dont worry! we get another two missions that will be cool too, but X360 will not have them...

[Blackkstar]

From what has been said officially, x360 and pc will have THE SAME EXTRAS. So my guess is that x360 and pc are the same version of the game.

By what most of these interviews say it sounds like UBI and Microshaft are in bed together. Not only in bed together but spooning.

[Blackkstar]

its ok to port from x360 to pc, cause now they are so close in terms of power, but not from xbox1 as someone said.

If so, I just give them the finger.

XBox Live! does not exist where I live.

And even if it did - I'd still give them the finger for forcing me to buy another product by limiting their game's features on other consoles.

I'd much rather a port from xb360 than a current gen rig. With a next-gen PC, current gen ports look EXCEPTIONALLY pitiful (low poly models, bleet textures and uninspired level design)

From the current gen screenies I've seen so far, that would be considered HIGHLY unacceptable on the PC. Moreso a circa-2003 level quality.

Yeah, T2T is a great example for that.

[dandin1]

I unno about graphics "being horrible on non-next-gen". I say its aallll in the bump mapping. You can make a staircase be flat, and with the right angle, and the pro bump mapping, it looks 3d.

In the screenshot "hang in there, Gordon Freeman!" doesnt the back of Sam's head look, not-so-smooth. Smith said the fae would have thousands of polygons, but it doesnt seem so good for the back of his head.

PS; dont those guards remind you of Upsillyon Force mercs?
