Red Steel and Conviction slip to guarantee "quality" products, says Ubi boss Yet more triple-A titles slipped into 2010 last night, thanks to Ubisoft's surprise delay of Splinter Cell and Red Steel 2. Now, thanks to a conference call with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, we have a reason for the pair's tardy arrival: it's "a question of polish", he says.... read more

I kust wished the industry wasn't so driven with fiscals and more driven by getting the game into the hands of the gamers. Time wasting, money grabbing vealots.
I've just replayed the original Splinter Cell. Forgot how great that is - lines like 'You don't wanna die in little boys room, do you?'
Well at least it won't have any competition after Christmas....
Mass Effect 2,
Bioshock 2,
God of War III,
Bayonetta,
Alan Wake,
Heavy Rain,
Red Steel 2,
GT5,
Alien vs Predator,
Singularity,
Red Dead Revolver,
I am Alive,
White Knight Chronicles
Quantum Theory.......
Oh dear.
As an owner of all three machines, all I can do is laugh.
Well, except for the fact that I can't play any of those fantastic looking games during my Christmas holidays.
Uncharted 2 and Assassins Creed 2 it is then. Other than those games, I am excited about zilch this crimbo. _________________ PSN ID: MarkyUK

I painted the underneath of a Fox, the other day.
I had to use a brush on the end of a very long stick because it was quite a high fox.

I think it's more to do with the fact that UbiSoft don't really want Splinter Cell directly competing with Assasins Creed 2. Makes sense, I guess.
I'm not too fussed about all these games getting pushed back (especially if it does mean we get a better end-product). Arkham Asylum, Fight Night: Round 4 and all those other games that I've neglected from last year will take up my time.
They probably know that MW2 will blow every other game out the water and maybe feel there profits would be better by delaying it to a quieter month of game releases!
Totally gutted by this announcment was really looking foward to playing it, god knows ive waited long enough.
Personally it looks like MW2 and FIFA are the only games ill be truly looking foward to at xmas possibly AC2 even tho the game mechanics look like they have'nt changed not in the slighest *yawn*
Guess ill just keep watching Balamory with my son lol

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
LLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT!
50 bucks says not 1 minute of developement time will be spent on splinter cell conviction after october.
this was either done to maximise $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
or M$ paid them to delay it so they have something to go up against GOW3 and heavy rain and probably GT5 in march.
because i sincerely doubt alan wait will be done by march.
sorry ubi but you just lost 2 sales, and i was really looking forward to SPC and i am alive.
ohwell i no longer have a reason to keep my 360.
who wants a slightly used xbox 360 pro 60GB console?

It's funny how some people on this forum seem to forget:
1) Not every gamer is a fan of first-person shooters.
2) That Wii Sports Resort will probably sell at least twice as many copies than what Modern Warfare 2 is able to achieve.
3) January to March next year is far from quiet for games releases. In fact there are probably more AAA games being released within the first 3 months of next year than we'll see throughout this year altogether.

Completely agree, but seriously how many years has Splinter Cell Conviction been delayed now? Late 2009 is getting thinner by the week... although, I don't exactly mind it being delayed, as like you say traditionally the Christmas season is way too crowded anyway.
The software companies need to get better at spreading out their releases, otherwise good games get buried under better games during the holidays - yes, I know that no one wants to go up against, CoD, Halo and Assassin's Creed, and TBH who can blame them (MAG, Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, etc. all delayed until 2010... if anything early 2010 will be a bit too crowded to support the number of titles).
Another thing we've learned this generation is that games can sell well during other parts of the year so instead of sending your game to die for the sake of the hectic Christmas release schedule, you can pick another time of the year, add more polish and do well. _________________ If your not part of the solution, then your part of the problem.
