here's a quick little thread banner if a separate SvM |OT| is ever made.

[ChuckNyce]

Based on reviews and if I can pull some funds together I'll be nabbing the Wii U version. This has Off Tv Play right? Please say yes.

 

[Grisby]

I'm down. Besides Dragons Crown this is the only other game I'm buying this month. I really enjoyed Conviction so I'm eagerly awaiting this, especially if there are more 'stealth' options. Also, dat spies vs mercs return.

Nice work on the OT. Was watching the anti-hype thread for a long time.

 

[legacyzero]

Already have two copies on Pre-Order JUST for Spies Vs Mercs. My 360 and Master Race buddies and I will be cutting necks and cashing checks!

I played Double Agent Spies Versus Mercs every day for like 2 years, and is my most played game on Xbox Live. It really is the best multiplayer around. I'm still a bit worried about the direction they've gone with lethal spies and unlimited lives..

But hey, I'd rather have Spies Versus Mercs evolve, than not at all (FUCK YOU CONVICTION).

I'M SO FUCKING PUMPED FOR THIS. I've been watching countless amounts of SvM footage, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be different, but good still.

Top 70 in Top sellers on Steam. Gamers are not hyped it seems.

They could have at least did the $5 off preorder like most Steam games get :/. Oh, and Ubi should be flaunting the hell out of its multiplayer component as well.

I'm not too much of a fan of a joke OT. Mainly because I'm sure there are people that have questions about the multiplayer portion, and the OT gives almost none. So I'm ok with this.

 

[EagleEyes]

I sure would like to see some real gameplay from the Wii U version. I have a feeling its not gonna be on par with the other console versions. I would love to be wrong though lol.

You talk big but are nothing more than in infant in my eyes >_>

I really need to get me a gaming PC =p

 

[Gbraga]

What are the difficulty settings for this game? Anythign past Realistic this time? Conviction felt like every difficulty was the same.

Perfectionist difficulty is a thing if you scroll a bit down the post.

I believe there's a Perfectionist difficulty, where you lose all your fancy gadgets, guards react quicker, etc

edit: fuck you sober

I swear I read that thread, but I forgot about it for some reason. It sounds really good actually. I'll do my first panther playhtrough on Realistic and then my ghost one on Perfectionist.

Thanks guys

 

[chickdigger802]

oh.. this is out next week too huh.

hope the pc version isn't shit optimized like conviction.

 

[Sober]

For anyone interested, here is IGN playing the first mission with Eric Johnson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-gq-dC9RJw

 

[ViewtifulJC]

oh.. this is out next week too huh.

the console versions will be out next week

the PC delay should be any day now

 

[TheSeks]

the PC delay should be any day now

The sad thing is, I fully expect it given how late the game went "gold."

 

[Screaming Meat]

Will give this a shot once it drops in price. PD2 and GTAV currently have my sword.... and bank details.

 

[Sober]

Apparently play http://www.spiesvsmercs.com/en/ and unlock a merc suit for SvM.

Also if you are on iOS, There is a Spider-Bot app where apparently you can use it to rake in mad cash money before the game hits?

There is even a UPlay award for Blacklist that just straight up gives you some in game cash to buy stuff with. That's what I get for not using my reward points on UPlay !

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So did they delay the embargo on reviews as well

 

[Sojiro]

I'm buying this on Wii U even though I own the other platforms? Who will be the other 3 people that play online with me?

Pre ordered the Wii U version from amazon a week or two ago, ready to try some SvM action.

 

[Mustainium]

Great OT.

Reviews should start to drop at 12 EST, right?

 

[Sojgat]

So did they delay the embargo on reviews as well

I thought it was today, in like an hour. I might be wrong though.

 

[Sober]

So did they delay the embargo on reviews as well

9PM PST, or noon EST

 

[chickdigger802]

whens reviews embargos up?


welp ok.


hope its good!

every game should be at least good

 

[antitrop]

I read the entire OT and really enjoyed it.

 

[Dance Inferno]

God help me but I'm actually excited for this game. Haven't bought it yet, and I will wait for reviews and GAF impressions first, but still...it's been a while since I've played a good stealth game, and the videos for this are promising.

 

[Dark Octave]

Awesome, never missed a Splinter Cell.

 

[iNvid02]

that is a nice OT

waiting on uPlay to display the game on my account too, gonna try and start it up with a VPN on 20th to see if i can get it early.

 

[danielcw]

I am gonna try to get both version of Double Agent from my backlog during the next week.
Which one should I start with?

Original Xbox.

 

[UrbanRats]

So, does the PC version support LAN like Conviction did? That's kinda crucial to me.

The original Xbox Double Agent is a really, really good game.

 

[iMax]

We doing a review thread or just keeping it in here? 30minutes!

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

As someone that thoroughly enjoyed Conviction's co-op and deniably ops, I am super excited to play this game. I think half chaos theory, half conviction will prove to be a great fit for splinter cell moving forward. They can't let batman become the unchallenged king of predator stealth.

8.0/10 from GameSpot.

 

[Cyberia]

By the time you reach the end of Blacklist everything has grown so big and so explosive that you’re left exhausted but not entirely satisfied, and maybe after all that incoherent action you’ll recall the time when a single flashlight in Chaos Theory’s Panamanian bank made you hold your breath. Ten men searching for Fisher doesn’t make for ten times the excitement, but it sure does give him a lot to shoot.

[MR BLACKMAGIK]

I could care less about the voice actor not being the same. The game looks good and I'll be playing Perfectionist Ghost right away.

 

[danielcw]

The original Xbox Double Agent is a really, really good game.

Ho well does it run a 360?
Or shall I connect my old Xbox for it?

 

[Jb]

Too bad it seems like its the worst way to play it.

 

[The_Joker1721]

Does anyone know if the Wii u version has split screen or if its gonna get it anytime soon?

 

[69wpm]

The screen tearing in the PS360 version is awful, I hope the Wii U version has vsync.
