Splinter Cell won't come to PS3, says Ubi

Franchise and Xbox have "link of heart" says publisher
Ubisoft has stamped out assumptions that Splinter Cell Conviction will eventually be released on PS3, stating that it has "no plans" to bring the 360 and PC exclusive to other platforms.

Because of the franchise's history with Microsoft's platform (the original was an exclusive), a special "link of heart" exists between Xbox and Splinter Cell, the Ubisoft said in a Q&A; on its official forum.

"Splinter Cell Conviction is a true Microsoft exclusive title and there are no plans to have Splinter Cell Conviction on other platforms," it said.

"There are several reasons behind this choice. First of all, Splinter Cell games are historically linked with Microsoft platforms. The first Splinter Cell on the original Xbox was one of the first games to fully exploit the console's technical possibilities. At that time, Microsoft really believed in the game potential and provided strong support to promote it.

"So, there is a 'link of heart' between the franchise and the platform. Some games are like this (think of Final Fantasy for instance).

"The second reason behind this choice is purely linked to production," it continued. "Having a single target platform means that we can optimize the game even further, because we only have one type of - console - hardware to support."

There you are then. Conviction was re-revealed at E3 after a lengthy absence, and has an ageing Sam Fisher conducting a fiery vendetta against his daughter's killers. It looks the nuts, as you can see from the video above.

MGS4 got metacritic 94

the last splinter cell got 85


nuff said. splinter cell is an anal bore fest.
Posted by Shabozi
Oh well SVD, doesn't really matter then does it because xbox 360 owners are going to get splinter cell, and the next MGS so they get a choice, unlike PS3 owners...
Posted by monkey_puncher
ONLY POSSIBLE ON 360!!!1!!1!
Posted by svd_grasshopper
the next MGS isnt a stealth game. its a cheesy spin-off which bears the MGS name through corporate pressure.

"Lightning Fast Action" not "Tactical Espionage Action".

this is not MGS5.
Posted by Black Mantis
SVD, you have your superior MGS 4 (your opinion), so stop spamming.

Anyway, this game is looking a real treat and I can't wait for it. :D
Posted by Shabozi
Just been having a look at metacritic myself SVD..

Did you know that the PS3 has 12 games with a rating of 90 or above, and 3 of them are exclusive?

Interesting when you look at the 360 side of things, 20 games 90 or above and 7 of them exclusives...
Posted by J1GSAW
wasnt impressed by the E3 video. massive generic meh
Posted by Shabozi
Well thats what were assuming, could be right, could be wrong...

But the fact is people with a 360 will be able to play splinter cell, (regardless of whatever you think about it) and the next MGS.

PS3 owners won't be able to...
Posted by svd_grasshopper
very interesting... but whats that got to do with the fact splinter cell is a poor mans MGS?!


splinter cell is like CSI. ****ing dull and stiff as ****.

the next "MGS" doesnt have snake in it. its a spin off. if you ignore that you can pretend your getting a game on your system of MGS4 calibre. but your only kidding yourself.

noone who has MGS wants to waste money on splinter cell.
Posted by Shabozi
Slight correction to my previous comment about metacritic, 360 has 9 exclusive games that are rated 90 and above...
Posted by Chandler824
damn, looks like us PS3 users will have to stick to uncharted 2. oh noes.

also, the only stealth game i'm looking forward to is a new Hitman. SC has never been a must have title for me. poor man's MGS.
Posted by Shabozi
Yes your opinions are interesting to, and colourful, but at the end of the day they are just your opinions.

Fact is some people actually like both splinter cell and MGS, and fact is you will need a 360 if you want to play both.
Posted by Mark240473
From the video it seems to be a lot more action packed than previous SC games. Saying that, I have seen very little of it.

Not too sure about the text on the walls, etc, whilst you are playing. Seems a bit weird to me. I can understand that they want to keep the player immersed in the game, but having 'INFILTRATE MANSION' in big, bold letters pasted across a wall is a little off-putting for me.
Posted by StonecoldMC
Is it ok if I look forward to the next Splinter Cell Game? I wouldnt want to get this one wrong :? .
Posted by svd_grasshopper
and some people like poking needles in their arms... whats your point?!

the 360 is not getting a true MGS game. how many times does it need to be said?! the real stealth game is on ps3 NOW. so you dont 'have the choice'.

its telling that its mainly only 360 owners who are "looking forward" to this raiden installment. be grateful your even getting that.

SVD...

"Anal Bore Fest"?
"Stiff as f*ck"?

Are you trying to subliminally come out? :shock:
Posted by lawless1891
What i don't get about this whole next gen is why Sony ,Nintendo and Microsoft,don't do the gaming world a big favour and bring out consoles that all play the same games,i do believe this is the future of gaming .
I wish i could just pick a new console secure that what ever game comes to the market i will be able to play it ,you know i don't really have to worry when buying a cd or dvd that my player wont play it.
Posted by Black Mantis
Say it loud! Does seem like SVD can't stand us for looking forward to games. Don't know what motivates her to derail the majority of 360 threads, it's not as if we can put it down to "that time of the month" when she bitches daily. Hopefully CVG can find some PS3 news to put up...
Posted by pR!M8
"Link of Heart"..... LOL :lol:

Ive not seen anything of this game so far that would make me buy it, maybe playing a demo would change my mind but it would have to be a lot better than previous games.
Posted by svd_grasshopper
find your own gags you pathetic leecher... :roll:

look forward to it all you want. but you know MGS is the better game.
Posted by Shabozi
My point is that it is choice.

For the record I own a PS3 and 360, I have absolutley no allegience to one or the other, I love and hate things about both consoles.

The only thing that I am really bothered about is what games I can play on them, in the end thats the real reason people buy a 'games' console isn't it?

You can keep quoting your opinions about what game is better, or making stuff up without any facts such as 'its mainly only 360 owners who are "looking forward" to this raiden installment.' (I mean c'mon where did you get this from apart from your own head?).

Fact is though if you own a 360 you can play the next MGS game (which I am guessing you won't be buying, judging from your strong opinions towards it?) and the next splinter cell game.
Posted by Black Mantis
If anyone is pathetic, it's you.

I enjoy the MGS games, but I've always preferred Splinter Cell. Granted I haven't tried MGS 4 yet, but I'll let you know my thoughts after I've played them both.
Posted by stonecold77
"Because of the franchise's history with Microsoft's platform (the original was an exclusive)"

The original was out on PS2 and so was the next two SC games so how was it an exclusive???

I'm sorry but Chaos Theory shits from a great height MGS3 if we're going to compare sequel to sequel.
Posted by svd_grasshopper
comeback when you do. the leap from the ps2 games to ps3 is substantial.

gone are the days of getting stuck head first in an air vent like a ****. the control over your character is one of the best things in it.
Posted by Robzy1990
As a now ex PS3 owner I don't know how PS3 only owners cope. They're loosing out on HUGE exclusives. They're loosing all there exclusives and things such as Live are MILES better than PSN.

Not only that but multi-format games always get more content or exclusives or support on 360 then PS3.

It's time to let go Sony fans..
Posted by dremorack
I look forward to the day MGS5 is announced for xbox 360 also. That is the day SVD will truly shut the **** up.
Posted by Bothanspy
"Link of Heart" ??? Link of millions of pounds cash money me thinks. I have both consoles so it doesnt effect me but it really annoys me when some people dont get to play a game because they cant/wont fork out for two consoles or choose one over the other. Any other media producers would concentrate on getting their IP to the maximum audience. Nonsense.
Posted by aptj81
So what they're saying is that they would cut off a sizeable chunk of revenue for their game (IE The PS3 market), bering in mind the production costs of the next gen games, out a sense of loyalty to Microsoft?
Either they were in a very generous mood that day the decision was made or they're not wanting to use the "Microsoft is flipping the bill" explanation
Posted by svd_grasshopper
MGS3 Subsistence 94

chaos theory 87

like for like. even taking into account a few duff reviews on both sides, doesnt look like the better game.


the day MGS5 comes out on 360, i'll simply laugh at its gimped features. dream on though.

The latest splinter cell was made in 2007, Metal Gear solid was released in 2008. That fact alone has labelled your snarky little comment pointless, the fact that one year apart is a big deal within the games industry, especially when games are forever evolving, what was considered amazing in 2007, then to be overdone by titles the very same month or a year after its release.

The fact that Metal Gear Solid has a big fan base, and a big fanbase within Journalists yes, it will obviously push the meta up alot.

Really, I am getting tired of seeing your vile absent minded comments within this community, You do it to light fires, you do it just to piss people off 24/7, As if you do not have anything better to do with your life you sad ass cretin. Please, shut the hell up with your stupid comments on anything involving the xbox 360, Start looking at your own fanboyed platform.

SVD calling someone a leecher?

Kettle black anyone?

MGS probably is be the better game. I have put in way to many hours into MGS4 and the other games, so I would probably have to say SC conviction won't be as good as it, and maybe the new MGS won't be as good as MGS4, but they are just my opinions.

Truth is unlike SVD I can see past those sony tinted glasses he wears. I don't really care about the console, I care about what games I can play, so its great that I own a 360 and can play the new MGS and splinter cell.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory scored 94% on Metacritic. 8)
Posted by Shabozi
On metacritic the PS3 has 12 games rated 90 and above, 3 of them being exclusives.

The 360 has 20 games 90 and above, 9 of them exclusive.

Considering how your using metacritic as a method of judging the quality of games, what does the above say for the difference between quality of games on PS3 compared to 360?
Posted by KMakawa
The fact is that so many topics within the website, are trashed from the first 10 posts or so, from vile ignorant people like Grasshopper, who just love the entertainment of dissing other platforms, "This is going to be gimped" "This looks shit" as soon as CVG wake the **** up, it'll all be sunny.

Until then, we have to live with the fanboy shit 24/7, and ruined topics. Who gives a shit, eH?
Posted by svd_grasshopper
the games are a year apart so cant be compared. thats complete garbage.

CoD4 was out 2 years ago nearly... its regularly whooping brand new games on the technical front.

uncharted is still impressive compared to anything more than a year newer.
Posted by The_KFD_Case
Oh dear. SVD is at it again. What a surprise...or not. :roll:

Scream, cry and throw temper tantrums like a little child all you want, SVD. No matter how adamantly you insist that your opinion is the only one that is right and worth listening to, it doesn't make it any more true. It reeks a of a huge amount of insecurity on your part that the only garbage you can regularly release are lame insults at others simply because they don't share your opinion and a borderline obsessive-compulsive need to stalk Xbox 360 threads. Your behaviour is both pathetic and grotesque all at once. It must be hard, even awful, to be in your shoes if you feel your inner world is constantly threatened by differing opinions over a console. Truly sad.
Posted by KMakawa
Shapen up your comments SVD, as I for one.. and sure many people to follow will really just be ignoring the junk that comes out of your head. I mean seriously, you have to be one of the biggest fanboys on this site. You defend PS3 so fricking much, it wouldnt surprise me that they hire you in a year or so, Keep working on it for sure.

And yes, they cannot be compared, The years, and the history behind the titles, I would much rather rate a game like splinter cell over metal gear solid anyday, How so?, Because I wish to play a game, Not watch a interactive movie for 15 hours and waste that off my lifespan.

And may I add that Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Metacritic 87%) was not developed by Ubi Montreal (the guys responsible for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Metacritic 94%)) and Splinter Cell: Conviction IS being developed by Ubi Montreal (the guys responsible for Splinter Cell: Conviction (Metacritic 94%)).

Posted by svd_grasshopper
its my opinion MGS is the better game. a few people in here have already said that too.

if you look at metacritic, over around 80 professional reviews, the MGS games are averaging about 10 percent better scores.


no temper tantrums just my opinion which is backed up by majority.

and stalk xbox threads? this is more of a ps3 thread, since everyone knew it was 360 definately, and this news piece is informing ps3 owners they aint getting it.

sad you side with a game simply because its the only one you can play. i played the last splinter cell on my ps3 - it sucked balls. got stuck at a bit where you had to input numerical codes into a sort of rubix cube. done my head in, and given the fact i had not enjoyed the game up until that point anyway i gave up on it. try as i might to like it - stealth games are a favourite of mine. but this just just average. the control over your character was jerky and the immersion was poor. then again that only an opinion, like your is.

KFD, Kmakawa...

I really wouldn't try to have a discussion with SVD, about your opinions, because we all know SVD's opinions are correct...

I find it simpler to give him simple facts

Like what I said before about him using metacritic as a base for judging quality of games.

The PS3 has 12 games 90 or above 3 of them exclusive.

The 360 has 20 games 90 or above 9 of them exclusive.

Like I have said before I own both consoles, and couldn't really give a monkeys about either of them. I am bothered about the games I can play on them.

If I go by SVD's process of judging quality that would mean the 360 is the best console to own would it not?

I would be interested in how much your set up as cost you so far just to keep up with this new gen of gaming.
I'm interested because i'm such a tight fecker i can't justify owning everything that comes to the gaming market,and can't get my head round why people find the exclusive games market such a d1ck swinging one upmanship sport.


And yes ubisoft i want Splinter Cell on all platforms in fact i want all games available on all platforms drop the hypershyte spin.

Gotta say I'm with SDV for once, MGS4 was riddiculosly awesome, and I simply couldn't get into Splinter Cell

On the whole exclusivity thing - I'm sure they said the same thing about SC double agent, quoting the whole Splinter Cell started on Xbox drivel. A year later Double Agent was on PS3 with some exclusive bits!

as for ps3 well the list is ridiculous but what would a fanboy war be without a good list :lol:

Uncharted 2
Demon Souls
White Knight
Final Fantasy versus
God of War
Heavy Rain
GT5
Ratchet and Clank 2
Mod Racers
Last guardian
MAG

seems like 360 only owners are missing out

ive left out a bunch of ps3 ones because they dont really seem like big deals like yakuza3 or quantum theroy, aswell as ones that are coming to PC

so feel free to add genuine 360 exclusives to the list. Mass effect 2, Left 4 dead 2 etc arent exclusive, i dont own a xbox but ill be playing them all in a higer res, with superior controls and for a cheaper price come release

Apart from it being ridiculously biased and the fact that you have put GT5 as being released in the next two years ;). The truth is I don't really care about what might happen.

I am more bothered about what is happening now.

The PS3 has 12 games rated 90 and above on metacritic, 3 of them exclusive.

The 360 has 20 games rated 90 and above, 9 of them exclusive.

Sorry,

But splinter cell is a better series at the moment than mgs. Being a huge fan of the MGS games, they have turned into shallow cut sequence, clunky controlled, self-indulgent w*nk.

Kojama is the Peter Molyneux of Japan, sure he talks less crap but he really does have a self-importance about him.

Splinter cell may be less popular, but it is not some game trying to be a movie. And the controls are tight!

Um actually I want. MGS is one of my most beloved franchises ever and every entry in the series is a pure gem but I'm still getting Conviction. Sure, the Splinter Cell games never had the quality of MGS games, but it looks like it's gonna be good, so I'll be picking it up at some point.
Though I'm a lot more hyped about MGS: Peace Walker. Shame Kojima isn't making that one for PS3, but not such a big deal. I can't wait for that game.

it does suk for other gamers but considering this is the only game i really still have my 360 for it better be for it (PC is tempting though).
For some reason, and i cant explain this, im getting less and less interested with this game and the last time smthg like tht happened to me it was with assassins creed and we know how tht turned out.

1 of the reasons i loved the other splinter cells was all tht tech you had, you felt like a true bad ass and everyone out there was just measly prey but now it seems instead of hunting you're like always sought after which changes the game drastically and i hope they dont screw it up.
Posted by KMakawa
at the nerd who is so concerned about exclusives.

Left 4 Dead 2 (can and is considered as a exclusive to xbox 360 on launch).
RUSE, Crackdown 2, (Potentially APB), Halo ODST, Halo Reach, Forza, Dead Rising 2? (idk about that one, dont care), Alan Wake, Star Ocean, Mass Effect 2 (considered exclusive upon launch),2 New rare project, Bioshock 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Cry On, Champions Online, Huxley, new mistwalker project, Ninety-Nine Nights 2, and a few others, but formula one is about to start, and really , cant be arsed with this topic anymore.
Posted by Vyvrtka
Just out of curiosity, are those 9 games also on PC or are they really exclusive to X360?

Not trying to attack you here, but I always thought that calling anything 'exclusive' when it's also on PC is a BS.

I find it curious that time and again you initially spout of your opinion as fact and then when you are called on it you back pedal by claiming it was only ever your opinion. Since you are clearly aware of that why do you seem dead set on crushing all views contrary to your own? I can relate to the feeling though; it's not an easy one to counter-act but I like to think it's possible to at least try to do so.

As for Metacritic I could care less since private reviews affect those scores. It's no more reliable than amazon's reviews. Both are good to get a brief glimpse at what others think but that's where the buck stops. Furthermore, having a majority agree with you doesn't automatically make it right. Classic example: Nazi Germany.

As for Splinter Cell and MGS I could care less; neither game holds particular appeal for me.

dont want to seem hostile here but why are you on this thread anyways? thats like me going onto a thread abt wii sports and saying i dont like wii sports.

and how can people possibly compare SC and MGS? they are 2 totally diff games with SC being the true stealth game while MGS is more of an action game with stealth elements. both are excellent when at the top of their game but totally different.

abt exclusives: if its on another platform then its NOT exclusive, maybe checking the dictionary to understand what tht word means would quell these arguments, well at least a tiny bit.

I love my PC and my Xbox 360 is a nice addition to the home entertainment setup. Too bad moronic office monkeys with asshats where their brains ought to be get to decide what sort of ineffective anti-piracy malware is released upon the PC gaming public.

On that we can agree. You don't need a 2,000 GBP PC to play high-end games with good amounts of eye candy enabled.

the metacritic scores i quoted were the mag reviews. not the user reviews which is a COMPLETELY different rating. idiot. get your facts right before "spouting off". fool.

Pretty much. The irony being that his/her rant isn't helping the case at all. Quite the opposite in fact.
Posted by AJB123644
No but it does look nice :P

PCG regularly in their mags have a pc which costs under a 1000 pounds to build which runs games fine.

That's easily answered: Because this is a gaming news forum and I enjoy taking a peek at various ongoing news stories. If I didn't do this I wouldn't have much, if any, info about any of these games to develop an interest, or disinterest as the case may be here, in now would I? :wink:

There you go again making all kinds of assumptions. I'm well aware of that, but really, asides from getting paid for it and the occassional journalism degree or two, what's the difference? When I can find lists of 20 odd reviewers ranging from the US to the UK, to Sweden and Poland and that these reviewers are essentially only expressing their personal opinion (hopefully from a more impartial and informed position - which lamentably isn't always the case,) it seems to become more a matter of semantics.

Perhaps you feel vindicated and comforted by complete strangers online dictating which games you should and shouldn't like, and why. There's a certain appealing comfort to it, I can see that, but I prefer to reflect upon, and evaluate, things for myself. Feel free to try it sometime.

OK I went to metacritic myself and there are 3 exclusive games for PS3 (killzone2, LBP and MGS4) and 4 for X360 with rating 90 and higher (Halo 3, GeoW2, Forza 2 and Geometry Wars which is XBLA game if I'm correct, so not a full retail titles like the others), rest of those are on the PC so I didn't count them.


But what's the point of that argument anyway? They are both pretty much equal, especially when you consider the 1 year handicap of PS3.
Posted by DSMaster
What a load of rubbish being spewed here. Mostly by SVD_G (Sony Venereal Disease ?)

Just because MGS4 might be a better game than SC, SC isn't worth bothering with, eh? Are they really *that* similar? As far as I can see, the story, action and presentation are very different.

Are you suggesting that because COD4 is a better game than Killzone2, no-one should buy Killzone2 (although not that many people are..) ??

Do you have just 1 race game, 1 fps game, and 1 adventure in your library??

Jesus, some people appreciate and enjoy a little more variety than that.
Posted by Sleepaphobic
»thats very true mate but its SC, an established IP where everyone knows what to expect, you either enjoy stealth games or you hate them and no amount of info would really sway one would it?
anyways lets just hope it doesnt suck

left 4 dead isnt exclusive, out on PC
*Dead rising isnt exclusive
Neither is alan wake
mass effect 2 isnt exclusive
bioshock 2 isnt exclusive
championis online isnt exclusive
mistwaker project, rare project? mentioning games not even announced or may not even exist? :lol:
Cry On has been canned by the way :lol:
Alan wake isnt exclusive

like i said, just halo expansions, forza and crackdown which i forgot about. still pales in comparison to PS3 exclusives for the next year and a bit.
As was my response to someone who said he feels sorry for people who dont own a 360 because they are gonna miss out on great games, dont see what im missing.

Poor mans Gran Turismo, halo 3 reskins and Crackdown which will be good. not missing much

@ SVD_Grasshopper
Everytime i come onto cvg there's always a coment from u trying to bash the xbox 360 and it's game's.
When will u realise that people own the consoles they do because that's the system they prefer.

Also i hear u saying that mgs4 is the best, i'm affraid not everyone will agree with ur opinion, not everybody is a fan of the metal gear solid series, yes i own an xbox 360, but plan on saving up for a ps3, but will not be getting mgs because im not a fan of the series.

Also when i do get a ps3 my 360 will still be my main console just going to be getting afew games on the ps3.

So in other words grow up and stop bashing games on another console's it's very childish and that's not what board's are for, but that's what fanboy's are like " PS3 rules xbox suck's" not the case why do u think the 360 has sold so much, and don't use the excuse that the ps3 is so expensive that people can't afford both consoles.

a poor mans mgs lol what a load of bollocks i would choose splinter cell over mgs any day its a proper stealth game not a run and gun like mgs. oh ive set the alarm in this area best run back out of it so it can reset what a load of crap. it has stupidly long movies. all the action sequences that you watch in the game wouldn't u rather play them than watch them? splinter cell takes a lot more skill and has better gameplay
Posted by Richyrich316
I have always found Splinter Cell to be the better "stealth action" game seeing as it does not contain `loooong & convoluted story line sequences & actually gives more gameplay.

And J1gsaw the list of PS3 exclusives you posted are just that because they are 1st party games or from devs that have a long history with sony like naughty dog etc it would be interesting to see if they were exclusive if other company's were publishing them.
Posted by Richyrich316
Some of the games you say are not exclusive are coming to PC but when your talking about Consoles then they are exclusive to 360 IE Alan Wake, & most likely Mass Effect 2 as MS invested heavily in the series not just the first game as they were aware from the start that bioware's plan was for a trilogy.

As for Forza being a poor GT I think that Forza is actually a better game than GT as since GT2 they have been pretty much the same game over again at least Forza adds new things & new modes not just more cars.

Oh, I'm sick of it. When Ubisoft bought Tom Clancey they didn't even really think carefully enough that they got a bunch of rubbish to trash the brand, and this time when it really make something of TC it begin to put up airs. I don't really understand what Ubi was really doing. Is it actually making a game or air?
Posted by nb_nmare2
Could this guy have possibly picked a worse example?

FF started off as a Nintendo exclusive, then switched to Sony with PC ports, then they started releasing the occasional Nintendo-exclusive spin-off (e.g. Crystal Chronicles), then they announced a joint PS3/360 release with various platform exclusive spin-offs, and now the next game (i.e. FF XIV)seems to be a Sony exclusive again.

And that's skipping over a lot of details, like ports made years later of the original Nintendo exclusives, etc.

»really? you're the 1st person ive ever seen thts said tht. and really if its out on PC then the word exclusive does not apply (freakin duh!) now saying console exclusive is just stupid, everything can therefore be an exclusive for smthg/sum1 if you add restrictions
Posted by shiwayb
If they are on a PC then they are most like "games for windows"

And who plays GFW games that i know?

People off my XBOX 360 FRIENDS LIST.


So really your buying it twice for better graphics, smoother framerate and higher Res....


The money still goes to Microsoft....


I actually want games to be on both....
Posted by shadowsblaze
Well, that's funny. I have MGS4 on my PS3 and I've also pre-ordered Splinter Cell for my Xbox 360.

The fact is, though I enjoyed MGS4's gameplay, I've always enjoyed Splinter Cell more. Personally, I found the gameplay to be superior and it's not bogged down in one of the most long winded, ridiculously boring scripts in gaming history.

Ultimately, it does not matter whether game reviews are poitive or negative as long as you personally enjoy the game. Unfortunatley, the fact that you use Metacritic scores to validate your enjoyment of a game just goes to show how insecure you are in the choice of game you play. And the fact you constantly appear on XBox related news to complain about the console and it's games further proves how insecure you are and the need to validate the choice of console you have decided to back.

Maybe it's time you went outside, got a job, get a girlfriend, and stop spending so much time complaining on these forums. Or is your life really that lonely and pathetic?

Meh, I'm kinda gutted splinter cells going to remain Xbox exclusive but I'm not too bothered, if i really want splinter cell that bad i'll go buy an xbox.

as for svd...
why do you insist on constantly trying to prove the ps3 to be better than xbox? Imo, thats the case but the xbox is still a good console. ( i think its just because when i was growing up my brother bought all the playstation consoles, so they were a big part of my childhood gaming)

Face it, you can't win at this whole thing. (this goes for all other fanboys too) People are always going to have a personal preference. Its like this with everything in life.
At the end of the day, what do you achieve? Knowing that you pissed off a few people and maybe -but not likely- got a few people to convert to your console because you over glorify it. You fanboys have a serious problem, you are wasting your time with all of this console bashing etc.
Give it a rest eh? this kinda stuff Kills the comments on this site. I'm surprised some of you haven't been banned from the site for your pathetic posts. Then again, it is funny to watch people get so worked up over something so small.

Gives me lulz :P

I have MGS and Splinter Cell, and tbh, i prefered Splinter Cell, I have both consoles, I don't know why fanboys like to get their hackles up just because something is exclusive, and how is Splinter Cell the poor mans MGS? I think you might find that A poor man only has one console, or maybe its that the rich man doesnt spend his life ranting about how much he'd love to ram it up the tailpipe of The male characters of MGS and get a wee bit of a life?

its always i'm better than u because, feck sake boy, get a life, go out, meet a woman, or a man, get off your crazed MGS fantasy and do something.

Everyone is always going on oh ps3 is better, no the 360 is better, why can't people just like the games for what they are? if they are good they are good if they are shite they are shite. my ps3 and my 360 are better than yours, my face is better than yours. end of.

Why do I ALWAYS get the feeling that this forums users are bickering children? have none of you realised if you get all the consoles and sellotape them together you can play super ultra Killzone Halo Mario galaxy Warfare 9 over the internet in high definition with motion controllers and the whole world will shut up with this endless, boring, repetitive, needless, wasteful, dire subject that comes up DAILY with exactly the same points over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. You're all shit, none of you should be allowed to talk, and its most likely that outside of this forum you don't talk to any real people as the world outside has so much more important stuff to care about than who's brand of console has the biggest dick.

HaHa i see you were along the same lines as me =oP
Posted by voad
Sorry but SC has and always will be a better stealth game then MGS. It does not have hours of terrible cut scenes with an equally terrible convoluted story. What it does have is gameplay that is far superior to anything an MGS game has ever produced. Please, don't even get me started on what a god awful hack Kojima is.

Its not about adding restrictions the fact is that not many people can afford a rig to run some of these games on PC so therefore the consoles become the obvious choice & as far as consoles go then Alan Wake Mass Effect 2 are exclusive & PC gaming is not as popular as Console gaming unless of it has world of warcraft or sims in the title for the most part.

I think that this gen MS love or hate them have catered more for the gamers than the competition Nintendo have gone a different route & have had massive success & Sony have consistantly shot themselves in the foot.

Oh SVD saying that MGS Rising is not a real MGS game is a lame excuse for sour grapes it bears the name of the franchise it features characters from the series its set in the same universe as the other games so therefore it is like it or not another MGS game & slagging it off before anyone has played it is jumping the gun dont you think
Posted by flameswordsman
Meh, MGS is OK, but I prefer my Splinter Cell: a true stealth-gamers game.

PS3 still doesn't have that many good games, so still doesn't warrant a purchase. Oh, I said it.......

@ svd_grasshopper

I bought MGS4 on the PS3 and got bored with it after less than an hour.....oooh look a cut scene, oohhh some gameplay that lets me crawl under a truck.....and then oooohhhh another cutscene.....utter bollocks. I have no interest in splinter cell so will see what the reviews say...but I don't trust them these days...they seem to throw 90+ score at huge budgeted games....I wonder if a portion of the budget of these games goes on bribing reviewers.
Posted by J1GSAW
indeed, Halo 3?? LOLZZ!! what aload of tripe that game is
Posted by jazzy_p
I wonder if this is a problem with how western audiences perceive an eastern method of story telling...remember these are the people who have episodes of shows where people just stand and look pissed off with each other, the whole time saying nothing.

That said i loved every minute of mgs4.

Personally i had the same reaction to GTA4...that was utter ********, but what can you do huh?
Posted by MrMoobs
Im glad Splinter Cell isnt Metal Gear, as Metal Gear solid makes you fall asleep with its excessive cut scenes and socom chatter. At least with Splinter Cell you can just get stuck into the game and not worry about what the hell is going on!
Posted by The Bossman
This still doesn't make sense. All the other SC games made it to PS2, and one of them, Double Agent, to the PS3. Increased profits will happen if it's released on all 3 platforms, don't they want to make more money? It's absolutely ridiculous. Me thinks this just smacks of lazyness, can't be bothered to port it to PS3, what a joke. Shame on you, Ubishit.
