Splinter Cell 4 X360 images

Ok. I've just skipped about 4 pages here in this thread. I'm assuming I haven't missed much else, as I don't think it's within GAF's capability to actually pull itself out of a stupid, petty debate comparing screenshots of MGS4 with anything else on this planet and attacking/defending the framerate, polygons, etc. If I'm wrong, please alert me and I'll go back and see what I missed.

And thank you to whoever brought out the banstick on this thread. Thank GOD... is this shit only gonna get worse during the PS3/REV launches?

Jerkface-- that'd be badass. Like picking up armour from prison guards during the jailbreak, etc. This stuff COULD be sweet, but somehow I don't think Ubisoft is gonna deliver that much just yet. Maybe for Splinter Cell 5: Seal Clubber. :)

This game should be badass and as someone pointed out earlier-- the stuff involving Africa looks amazing. Having to decide who lives, who dies, etc in the middle of tribal warfares? Fuck yes. I just can't believe they're going to try and put this on the PS2.
 
Rhindle:

I think you got it ass backwards here which isn't surprising given your MS agenda.

Let's recap the first page of this SPLINTER CELL 4 SCREENS thread together.

This is (or was meant to be) a thread about pics of SC4 for Xbox 360. People should comment how they feel about those screens, point out flaws and/or amazing effects.

Yet in post #11 Idiot #1 says:

Arsynic said:
MGS4 am cry...

Hmm, typical GAF but whatever maybe we will stay on track... phew, we managed at least on page #1.

On the second page another cretin, let's call him Idiot #2 tries to stir up some falmewar by bringing MGS4 into the question. He is a known Xbox troll though and gets quenched really fast: comment #57 and following.

The third page gives another example of trolling MGS in a SC4 thread:

Retard #3 - Fuma said:
MGS4 owned?

(Strangely, he doesn't get the banstick.)

The following pages is where the hell break loose and it all started with insecure Xbox fanbois flaming MGS:4 for no reason whatsoever in a thread about a completely different game. In return the MGS fanbois HAD TO defend their game of choice, but you can't blame them for starting this shit because they did not.

There you have it.

Clearer now?
 
I like how Sam Fisher is in this position now. His character role before didn't appeal to me. Now he is put in a position where its just him against everyone. That despiration I think makes his character much more appealing and more relatable.

I wasn't commenting on who "started it" but thanks for the extensive analysis.

I was trying to understand what the hell went on with the mass bannings later in the thread of guys who were expressing entirely rational opinions on one side of the argument (which you may happen to disagree with), basically to the effect that some aspects on the MGS trailer are unimpressive. I'd like to understand what the bannable transgression there is.

Which posts were rational?

One person was banned because he posted the complete set of scans of Game Informer

A couple of people where banned (about 2 or 3) because they where clearly try to create a MGSvsSC thread by posting ....MGS am cry? and things to that affect. This after a page and a half of discussions that were civil and was about the scans and the how Splinter Cell 4 will be like.

2 more people were banned because of that MGS4 picture with Snakes head photoshopped.

All that shit was unneeded and is the reason why you see before you 9 pages of nothingness.

Thanks for the readers digest. :)
 
wow lots of bannings. You people should chill out, I mean Splinter Cell is Multi Platform no need to get so worked up.

You know what sucks, though? That they're giving the new Spy Vs. Spy multiplayer to the current gen consoles alone. Nothing should be stripped from the $60 version, imho.

That's another story but really there shouldn't be any MGS analysis nor MGS name calling in a SC4 thread.

Wait, WHAT?

Because the 360 version features a new achievement/reward/ranking system for it's multiplayer, they're giving the current-gen versions an exclusive spy vs spy mode.

Kind of lame. Maybe it'll be downloadable at some point for the 360.
 
Wow, this thread has exploded!

I had to post a pic of SM2. If you're gonna talk about cleaned up ingame asset images...this beats out Silent Hill.

The hell? That's not even remotely the same. That has nothing to do with the actual game. The model used while the game is running on Dreamcast is nowhere near that level of detail.

The Silent Hill 3 picture is simply an anti-aliased shot taken directly from the game. Nothing else was modified or changed. That's exactly as if appears. It's not a tech demo and it's not "enhanced" in any way (the model).

Here's a capture I took of Silent Hill 3 running. Yeah, it obviously is nowhere near as clean...but image quality was the ONLY thing that was touched up. That is not the case with that SM2 pic, which has nothing to do with the model used during the game.

Here's a Shenmue 1 pic (SM1 or 2, doesn't make a damn bit of difference in terms of model quality)

Well that's just ridiculous...that pic was a laugh riot. People need to grow a fucking pair if that offended them.
 
Jesus, what an abortion.

Next Splinter Cell thread, everyone who says the word "Metal Gear" should be banned.
Next Metal Gear thread, everyone who says the word "Splinter Cell" should be banned.

Actually, since MGS4 seems to be such a big problem these days... that rule should spread into all 360 threads since I've only seen like two cases ever where it wasn't used to try to start a flame war. And both of the times it was dark10x who did it appropriately.

those are actually 2 words. We can say "metal" in a Splinter Cell thread, right? Or "gear"? Like if i was all like "This Splinter Cell looks awesome! I hope it has some METAL music in it! And i hope they give Sam some cool new GEAR!"
 
Let's say a random Xbox 360 game is shown and someone says "Wow, that's the best looking next-generation game I've seen yet." (which is entirely subjective)

Does the first person to mention Metal Gear Solid get banned?

I approve these ideas...

Why should you keep the people who are actually DISCUSSING the shit from talking about it? That's ridiculous. I think this thread was handled rather well once it got going-- everyone who was trolling for their shit, regardless of what it was, got the banstick right upside the head.

I think it's good to compare the two... but do it at an intelligent level, ya know? None of this "OMG MGS4 aM CRYZOR LOL"

I think most GAFers are intelligent enough to decipher when it's appropriate and when it's not. God, at least I hope most are. But I've been disappointed before.

Obviously, in a multi-console discussion thread it's fine as long as it's not used for the sole purpose to start a flame war. (Ex: "I think MGS4 is the best looking next-gen game! Sure as fuck rapes that Splinter Cell crap" or "I always liked Splinter Cell better anyway. Kills interactive cutscenes, anyway!")

Well, you show me an example of where discussing MGS4 in a SC4 360 screenshot thread has ever been a good idea. I mean, I'd like to be proven that GAFers can be civil about it but I've never seen a case when it comes to these specific thread types. Both camps are just ridiculous.

P.S. I wasn't actually saying these policies were going into place, just that I think it would solve the problems here. In my personal opinion, this entire thread is garbage. I don't think there's a single page that survived the fanboy battle.
 
I was right, according to a mail I just got:

The going bad thing is an act to actually infiltrate a terrorist organisation. So that's what the title 'Double Agent' is for.

The mail also announces a spring release.

:gulp: I'm going to try. Note that I don't necessarily agree with what I say, just trying it out to see if it works.....


Really nice pics. If they are realtime (I have some doubts but I'm happy to be proven wrong) then I think they are perhaps the best example of next-gen power I've seen. Even more impressive than MGS4, which was my previous benchmark of what to expect from the best Next-Gen games.

That's just bullshit, then. $60 should get you more features than current gen, every time, period. That's why you're paying a $10 premium.

Hm, yeah, that isn't too bad. Of course, then banstick will have to come out for the fifteen people who jump in to suddenly try to defend MGS4 after such a comment :P
 
When is the movie coming out? The franchise has really good potential to be a kick ass action movie, the characters and the voice acting in the game is already very enjoyable IMHO...

If you want to teach them a lesson for the sake of comedy do this:

Next time a MGS4 vs. SC flame war erupts for absolutely no good reason, during the heat of internet battle do a word filter and replace "Metal Gear Solid" with "Splinter Cell" (including the assorted acronyms) and vice versa. Don't announce it or even hint at it, just change it and wait for the ensuing hilarity. For bonus points, anytime someone posts that old guy from SH3 replace it with a random shot from the Snoopy & Red Baron game.
