SPLINTER CELL 4

I played the original game on xbox when it first came out but didn't get very far. So I just recently picked up the PS2 version, and I gotta say the new cutscenes are TERRIBLE. Seeing the two soon-to-be-missing agents in cartoony action really takes away from the deadly serious tone of the game.

Oh, and mapping the aiming controls to R2, and the firing control to R1 was a bad move.
 
OCTAGONAL GUNBARRELLS!

OCTAGONAL DUMBELLS!

OCTAGONAL MUSCLES!

OCTAGONAL SHAVED HEADS!

IS THERE ANYTHING NEXT GET CANNOT DO!!?!?!?

These have 10 sides from what I can tell, but anyways I think the aspect ratio is the biggest telltale that this is a PC or current Xbox version.
 
If those are next-gen, I'm not exactly impressed. Though, considering the screen ratio, they might very well not be. I would think that the 360 version would have been unveiled first, though, considering the X05 trailer.

Basically its the rumour section of the mag.

Killer Instinct 360
Peter Moore confirms the news that two previous unannounced Rare games are being released for Xbox 360. He does not want to say which games but trustworthy rumours speak of a new Banjo-Kazome and a new Killer Instinct.

Tekken Tag 2 for Ps3
People with good memory will remember the gorgeous looking Tekken pictures from the PlayStation 3 demonstration during E3. Now rumours are saying this wasnÂ’t Tekken 6 but Tekken Tag Tournament 2, which will feature characters from all previous titles in the series and support up to four players at once.
So what does "Snyggare Nintendo DS" say?
 
What language is that? I'll cast my vote for 360 since I don't think the xbox can pull off those textures. Need more polys on some of the character models if it is 360.
 
Hmm, for some reason, those shots really remind me of Riddick with a little bit of Hitman tossed in.

I think each one has improved on the previous effort myself, never understood why PT got so much heat but whatever.


I never understood it either, i loved PT, the only reason ive seen as to why people hated it was because it wasnt made by Ubi Montreal =/

as for these pictures, i cant fucking wait :D i really hope they do some of the rumers ive read, like the robbing banks thing, that was one of my favorite levels in CT, just cause of the fact he was robbing a bank, haha tooo funny :P. this does look kinda riddicky...but thats ok because riddick was awesome, and i know sam fisher can do it even cooler.
 
Wow if that is Xbox. Thats HOT. How much more is Ubisoft going to get out of that big ol' box? And if its X360...this is where 1.5 comes into play (this looks absolutely incredible for Xbox but kinda meh if its a next-gen title, ya know?).

what? a game or next version.

Hell if I know, I was just translating the line.

Uhm, let's see...

"Better looking Nintendo DS

According to reliable sources, Nintendo will market a smaller and better looking Nintendo DS this coming Spring, in order to once and for all retire the Gameboy Advance. This new version will allegedly feature built-in rumble and greater battery capacity."

wow you kidding me, that is sweet hopefully nintnedo amps up the cpu in the new one :lol .

P.s can you trasnlate the other articles on the page. thanks man.
 
I assume they were just promo shots, not the actual game. Not that they look 'too good' for a console, just that it's too early and they have that feel about them.

YES! I hope this is true. I was expecting fall 2006 for the re-design and just minutes ago was thinking of going ahead and buying a DS for mario kart. I mean c'mon, mario kart online dammit! No way I could wait an entire year. Spring isn't too bad though. :D
 
I like the change of direction SC4 seems to be taking, is the whole game set in the prision? I kinda hope it is, i think the constantly changing enviroments are one of the big things that drag you out of the story in SC games.


I love the idea someone posted before of other Splinter cells being sent in after you as well, that'd be one hell of a boss fight.
 
has to be xbox. given how impressive sc3 was on xbox, there's no way the 360 sequel will look like that. it's not as if they're rushing it for launch or anything.

QFT. This is Xbox 1.

That would make sense. The visuals really don't appear to have been upgraded too far beyond Chaos Theory. Probably based on the same engine...

The more you look at it, the more obvious it becomes that it's XBOX1.

What was that teaser for then? Just a general "Splinter Cell will come to 360 someday" kinda thing? I don't understand why they'd go for another XBOX1 game at this point...

It's one of the few franchises that outsells it's PS2 counterpart straight up.

It's PS2 counterpart? The ports, you mean?

That's not suprising. Splinter Cell on XBOX is leaps and bounds ahead of the PS2/GC versions of the game (technically speaking). Plus, up until CT, the game had always shown up on XBOX first...so the fanbase really started there.

You guys would seriously be mad if those were X360 screenshots? I think it looks pretty damn good.
I does look good, but it's barely beyond what they were already doing on XBOX.

Also note, those screens are all 4:3 (basically). When 360 games are shown, they almost always display them in full 16:9.

Given the graphical greatness bestowed upon Splinter Cell in each update, I know for a fact that those are Xbox 1 pics
 
My god, I dont know what you guys are smoking in cases like this, that lucks great, admitedly we have seen better next gen graphics, but still, it looks great in it's own right. But as some have speculated, it probably is a XBox version.

They're all good/great games, but if you had to rank them:
3 > 1 > 2

shpankey said:
1st one good.

2nd one not that good.

3rd one FUCKING AWESOME!

These people speak the truth.

I really liked the first, and was excited for Pandora Tommorow, but god, that game was unforgivable with the alarms, and failing almost every mission if too many are set off. I dunno, I just dont remember ever getting as frusturated with the first. I mean with this series I am a perfectionest, I like to try and get through without sounding a single alarm or level of suspission. But there were parts with PT where I could re-do it 100 times to get it flawless, and still never susceed.

Chaos Theroy was the polar oppisite of this. no mission fail from alarms (was there maybe 1 mission where it was a fail?) Oh, and also unlike PT, where 90% of the levels didnt let you kill, PT really dropped the ball on the fifth freedom.

So, why is Sam in prison? I like the idea, but I havnt heard anything about this before now.

Nice to see our mag is doing the rounds on the internet. For those, wondering the stuff next to Sam Fisher is just rumours (Shenmue 3 etc.). Nothing to get too excited over in other words...

Are those Xbox 1 SC 4 screens or Xbox 360?

The AI in the third one is very interesting. Most advanced AI I have seen in a game IMO with how the people react.
I was really impressed with the AI in SC3. The enemies reacted like they woudl in real life, for instace, when you shot at them they would duck and take cover behind something, rather than just staying stuck to the same place and ducking.

I have played all the SC games, but Ive only enjoyed SC3. the previous two felt far too slow and just got boring. SC3 played much quicker. the camera was a lot faster and Sam moves his gun much faster, which allows for a quicker and intense game, which i feel the previous two failed to provide.
 
The top-right (back to wall) and middle left (arms through bars) look amazing if you look at the amount of detail. I would guess this is for the 360.

Really? I didn't feel that way.

SC3 felt a lot quicker to me and that really helped me enjoy the game. Didnt you find it faster to move your gun when in first person view in SC3 that in the other games? I remember playing SC1 and just getting really frustrated because it took Sam forever to move his gum. the same goes with the camera.

btw is this game is going to be on current gen consoles and PS3? Im not planning on purchasing an Xbox360 and I love SC too much to miss out on this one.
 
So guys, is SC4 going to be an xbox/xbox 360 exclusive or will it be multiplatform once again?

Will they all release at the same time too?

Has there been any info about SC4 being on PS3?
 
I dont think SC4 has been announced for PS3, but I am pretty sure it will be released for it. A few months after the Xbox 360 version doesnt sound too far fetched. Also I think these shots are too good to be Xbox version. I would not be surprised if they are the Xbox 360 version even though the lighting, or bloom thing looks exaggarated.
 
Dr_Cogent said:
Holy shit that looks HOT.

This game will be a reason I get a 360 most likely.

Although, I feel kinda funny seeing Fisher behind bars. It's not right.
My guess is he has to break someone out of jail to help him with his MOST DANGEROUS MISSION EVAR!!!1
 
Don't you guys think there's something wrong when we have to debate whether or not a game is for the Xbox or the Xbox 360?

Not from a poor quality photograph, of a magazine page, where each screen is represented in substantially lower resolution than the game screen itself, and we don't even know if the shots are game-engine or CGI. You need to go back to hater school. :lol

Who can tell jack shit about anything from those pictures?

Yeah with the tossers at Activision and their crappy ports.

Ubisoft will be in the leading pack of developers pushing the 360 visually, I have no doubts.
