360 News | Sam to arrive late.
Amongst Ubisoft's first quarter 2007-08 sales rules was the little nuggest of information that Splinter Cell Conviction, which is coming to the Xbox 360 exclusively has been delayed until next year.

With the game absent from E3 last week rumours were already circulating that the title had been delayed. In Splinter Cell Conviction Sam Fisher has gone beyond being a double agent and is a fugitive without the support of the 3rd Echelon. If you'd to read more on Splinter Cell Conviction then head over to our preview.

Better late than never. At least it's not being rushed. I'm 100% confident this game will be a success.

Double Agent got a last minute delay too. Although perhaps its not a delay, Ubisoft might not want to Splinter Cell to clash with the release of Assasin's Creed which has some similar crowd concepts.

Perhaps this time around, Ubisoft wont give us a half ass piece of sh*t 360 port for the PC. I mean, wouldnt that be great? Giving PC owners their due rather than churning out a game that used pixel shader 3.0 and would fail to run on the highest end PCs because the dev team were about as competent as the Private who failed to notice all those blips on the RADAR approaching Pearl Harbour a few years back...

Historical inaccuracies aside, Splinter Cell has never been sent to the PC as anything other than a console port. Stop expecting it to be something it isn't.

So you are essentially telling me to forget the fact that countless many have forked over money for something that is broken and just accept it? In your own words, should I immediately stop expecting the game to be a working, playable game at all, when it is infact quite the opposite? And all this just because it never originated as a PC title? You'd make a great PR person, you know that? You can take that as a compliment.

My point is; port or not, the quality of Double Agent took an immense dive which is unnacceptable and embarassing for Ubi, seeing as the benchmark was raised higher with their previous three SC titles when compared to Double Agent. I mention the 360 port gripe, because this time around, certain keys are simply not allowed to be bound to the control scheme in any shape or form (if you can get the game to even boot up), which is all well and good if you are using a gamepad, but not if you prefer playing the game the same way as you have for the last three times, yet now can't! Can you understand my frustration yet from the perspective of someone who does not own a 360, yet has played every incarnation thus far of Splinter Cell on their PC with a keyboard and mouse?

In short, if they arent going to bother doing it properly, just dont port the f*cking thing because hopes are ruined and time and money is wasted. Its that simple.

No, my point is that you're bitching about receiving a console port when you bought something that was unashamedly a console port. Use your PC to play PC games and stop whining.

If you dont like my perspectives or the opinion I shed on the subject, then perhaps you can simply ignore the post, as opposed what I see as an attempt to make yourself somehow feel good by condescending others. With your shiny Moderator badge, I am sure you can see how fruitless it is to be out trying to put people down over the internet by now, what with scouring thousands of posts.

If being allowed to vent your anger over a certain perspective factor of a franchise you are extremely passionate about over a gaming forum violates the terms of being a member here, then I am guilty as charged. If the facts are indeed contrary to my guess, then please take your comments elswhere or phrase them respectfully. I dont appreciate your lacklustre outbursts because venting at something is one thing, but venting at someone is just plain not nice.

While I enjoyed Double Agent's single player quite a lot, I'm seriously getting a bit sick of Splinter Cell for the minute. I think they should ship this as far as possible from this xmas because I don't think it will do very well.

It's a good thing it's getting delayed IMO.

Jaworski is correct the previous Splinter Cell games were released on PC in excellent form, they weren't straight bare bones ports like Double Agent.

I guess with games for Windows and a standardised control pad for pc now developers are going to be very lazy with their console ports to pc. Capcom's ports have been pretty horrid too. Its disappointing and probably financially a poor decision as well. The first 3 Splinter Cell titles sold very well on PC thanks to their quality ports and they were praised by reviewers also.

I played the Double Agent Demo and I hated the system without shadows, and lighting. I couldn't tell how I was being seen or by whom in those middle eastern levels. I'm looking forward to an exciting change in Conviction.
