Splinter Cell PSP first look

What a bitch of a topic.

*goes searching*

Edit; You could've posted it anyway since they aren't English.
 
you could at least try to describe them or provide at least some information before the mob and pitchforks get here.
Smartass, meaningless posts never do well here :)
 
And then I thought a little harder about the topic and knew exactly where to look. That looks amazing, cheers!

Ps; If I was the person who scanned them, I'd watermark them ;)
 
Well shit, looks like I'm going to have a lot to play on my PSP this year. I wonder if it will have an online mode .... someone get me a towel!

Wow, that looks insane. I'm really starting to wonder if Sony officially unlocked the hardware for developers.

That or they leanred the hardware very quick. Sony Bend even made their PSP Syphon Filter game look better than their PS2 version.
 
The PSP is wholly capable of producing PS2-like visuals.

Problem is, every developer/publisher sees PSP has a secondary medium of revenue, therefore nearly all PSP projects get secondary focus on time and budget, while the primary being consoles.

If you make, a particular PSP project a prime focus, equal/greater than of a console project, then you get great looking games.

That's why I think with rising developing costs for next-gen, we'll get "Katamari games" on the PSP because they'll be cheaper to make. The developers that can't afford to make next-gen games will be able to continue making games on PSP. (at least I hope)
 
Holy fucking shit! Holy fucking shit!

Just two days ago I was wondering how Splinter Cell would look like on the PSP when writing a 2006 preview feature for my site. It's better than I had imagined.

First game to use the full 333 MHz anyone?
 
holy shit, i think this and syphon filter:dm are good representations of what the 2nd gen psp games will look like.

I know the pics are blurred, but those images look too high res. You can't see any pixelation at all (esp. the 2nd one, looking at the text at the bottom).
I wanna see it running on a PSP first :P

it is the psp version, which is called "splinter cell essentials". you can see the title at the first scan.
 
Imo it looks too good for a PSP game.
If the screens are indeed from the PSP version,probably those scans make it look much better than it actually is in motion.

Doubtful.

You can do full screen 2x2 AA on the PSP without too much trouble, but this does look considerably (suspiciously?) softer than that.

God freaking damn... :O SPLINTER CELL TEAMS/UBISOFT = KINGS

Cut Ubi Soft from that statement and I agree. Both King Kong and POP:Revelations sucked ass.
 
Sure it looks a lot better than anyone thought, but damn... You just know controlling it will be a bitch. I hate the manual camera in the series, and that's with two analogs. With one, I see no hope, unless gameplay is drastically changed.
 
I think developers have gotten around it kinda. You hold a trigger and use the stick to move the camera. You can't move it while walking, but it's a pretty capable substitute.
 
Damn, as much as I hate the PSP.......... this game is looking great! There will be a lot of happy PSP owners come release time :D
 
I will never understand how a nice looking screenshot makes everybody believe the game will be great. Do you all apply this same logic to movies?

I don't think anyone has commented on the quality of the gameplay (if they have, I missed it). The only comments I see are recognising that the game *looks* good for a PSP title.

edit: well, excepting Bodom78 I guess.

It's from a good series, so if anyone is saying it'll be great it makes sense.
 
Hottness, but it missing Online Play (WTF).. :(. So Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror wins by default, (IMO) for its Detailed 8 Player Online Handheld KickAss Features. Although, theirs still MGS-PSP (can't wait to see that fucking potential masterpiece)... :D !!

You're mainly right but its comments like these:

And like that, Splinter Cell and the next Metal Gear and the new PSP WinBack are in dead heat for PSP Spy game of 2006

Chances are it will be good, but people already have there money spent over a few screen shots.

Folks get excited when something looks impressive, this isn't anything new.
 
Screenshots are all we have untill a game is released, why not get excited and hyped up over them. Thats basically what their there for. If it turns out to be a flop then so be it but untill then .............. damn you lucky PS owners.

Ok, don't get your knickers in a twist, I'm not having a go at anybody. I'm sure everybody has been burned in the past by good graphics bad gameplay.

And resorting to highlighting the fact I'm a 'junior member' is pretty lame, I could have been reading these pages a lot longer than yourself.

Actually I was referring less to your 'Junior Member' status and more to the fact that getting excited over screenshots is the norm here and I was surprised you didn't realize.

Anyway again this isn't an unknown series. It's like if RE5 or MGS4 pics were posted and you expected people to not get excited.

Is there a review for PSP King Kong anywhere? The game should be out by now, correct? Are you saying that PSP version sucks ass or that the game sucks ass in general?
 
Amazing-looking screenshots from a new game in a confirmed awesome series?

[gaf]OH WAIT IT'S FOR THE PSP!!! IT'S PROBABLY CACK![/gaf]

Yeah, they are clearly higher resolution...but I think that's just your typical pre-release "doctored screenshot" thing here. That last shot especially screams PSP. Just take a look at that "box" behind Sam. You wouldn't find a texture like that on XBOX...

I dunno about KK, but PoP was quite impressive on PSP. It managed to capture the visuals of the console game very well and play just right. The problem is, the game was buggy as all hell. However, in that case, the original version was ALSO extremely buggy. Basically, they ported a buggy game to the system in a fairly short period of time. No suprising that it still had issues.

Babelfish English Translation

Ubisoft reveals the first information concerning Tom Clancy' S: Splinter Cell Essentials planned for this year on PSP. It would act thus of a new episode of the series, and not of a simple remake, which will propose to us to include/understand the origins of the Fisher agent, and will make by the same occasion light on certain hidden aspects of next Tom Clancy' S Splinter Cell: Double Agent envisaged on consoles of living room. Dimensioned gameplay, one will find the indicators of visibility and noise relative to Sam Fisher, but also a new optimized gauge indicating to the hero the noises that make the enemies in the neighbourhoods, a very interesting functionality which was added to make it possible to the player to play under good conditions with its portable console even if sound quality is degraded. The player will have to also know to manage the physical state of Sam Fisher, it will be necessary for him indeed well to proportion his movements and to superimpose two sights to obtain a precise shooting, thing which appears more difficult when our hero is wounded. The only black spot of the play would be the system of camera which is announced for the moment like completely manual. Tom Clancy' S: Splinter Cell Essentials should propose several multijoueurs modes of which a mode 'One vs one' in Wi-Fi. To follow.
