New Info on Conviction | Forums

[SPROGGY]

Last night I picked up the new issue of Xbox 360 World magazine and there was a very detailed article about SCC. It included some new info on various parts of the game.

SINGLE PLAYER- From the sound of the article the game features both daylight and night time levels. However for at least the majority of the game social stealth will be your primary means of staying hidden. Also, the game is broken down into 60 levels of 15 minutes a piece. This works out to 15 hours of gameplay!!!! The first twleve episodes are spent working with 3E. These levels will be more "Constrained" than the later levels, teaching you the lay of the land and the new control scheme.

The H2H combat system is also very complex. What moves Sam uses are based on range and position of the opponent as well as proximity to any "weapons". In other words if there is a door between Sam and the baddie, Sam may hit the guy in the throat and then smash the door on fis face. Previous SC games contained only 2-3,000 animations. Conviction already contains over 10,000. They also said that the Holiday release date is actually a bit ambitious. So dont be surprised if its pushed back.

COOP- There will indeed be Coop mode in Conviction. It will NOT just be the addition of another player to the SP mode. It will be a separate mode. other than that details are scarce.

MULTIPLAYER- And I quote, "On Live, Players look like any other members of the crowd and compete for objectives while trying to sabotage their opponents".

Just as we all feared, crowd MP. Good info though, good find. I can live with half and half day/night levels. If there is about an hour worth of 3E missions, that is not enough. But, we all expected that. This clears up a lot of mystery.

All of this info has been released almost 2 months ago now...except for the part about Sam smashing the guards face first on the door and about the 3E missions.

Nice try, though. The real new info should come at E3.

Where was this info released? I have every printed piece of info released thus far in the U.S. Was it mentioned online?

It was from foreign mags...Ubi usually gives the foreigners the new info first and gives it to the U.S. much later on.

This article is nearly a year old, and it speculates whether 2006 was the last E3 or not. Yet, you see fit to state here that E3 is cancelled? Shiiiish!

For your info: there will be a scaled down version of E3 held this July. Ubi will participate and among other things present a hands on demo of AC. New info on SCC should also be presented at E3. Try to be less lazy in dealing with facts the next time you post Caine.
