Do we have to have a bunch of people in every single one of these threads saying "get it on PC, it's better!"

This is one of the more annoying aspects of gaf. "No shit Sherlock, a state of the art, £1000+ PC runs this game better than my 5 year old console." It's like the irritating spoilt kid in school who always needs to "one up" anyone's story.
We get it guys, PC's are much more capable than our lowly consoles, but not everyone has the money to buy one, or the inclination to tinker around to get games working properly on it.

[NinjaBoiX]

Welp. Looks like I'm skipping this.

Because of the boxart?

 

[NotMyUsername]

Because of the boxart?

From reading the replies on the last page I'd have to say it's due to the boxart indicating that it's HD versions of the inferior PS2 versions of the games instead of HD versions of the PC/360 versions. So yeah, likely because of the boxart but not likely because the boxart is aesthetically displeasing.

I could be wrong but that's my guess. It's certainly a reason I don't have nearly as much interest in this HD collection.

 

[GreatSage]

It's Ubisoft. What are were you expecting?

 

[rvy]

Because of the boxart?

Oh... obviously!

 

[tzare]

shit, my amazon order has been delayed to june. Zavvi still holds april 1 as release date. And Ubisoft says nothing about the game. two delayed games in a single week, motorstorm and now this

 

[canadian crowe]

Sorry to bump this, but has anybody actually confirmed that the Prince of Persia disc is coming to the US? I haven't seen it listed anywhere and it was supposed to come out tomorrow.

The PoP collection comes out April 19 in the US. The Tomb Raider HD Collection releases tomorrow.

Amazon has the game up for preorder.

Thanks. It's not listed anywhere in Canada yet. Do you think there will be improvements in stability. I think I'll just import the uk version.

 

[revolverjgw]

What the fuck is going on with this game? Is this out on PSN today?

 

[Tom Penny]

How are there no screenshots of this. I like me some Splinter Cell.

This.

 

[Totobeni]

Yeah,at least Eidos/Square got balls to show some screens and actually say that the two games (Legend and Anniversary) are just PS2 port with lifted models and assets from the 360/PC version.

Here Ubi are trying to hide this so hard, so I think it's as bad or maybe even worse than Prince of Persia Trilogy.

 

[mclaren777]

So we're assuming this is based on the PS2 simply because of the boxart?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

So we're assuming this is based on the PS2 simply because of the boxart?

It's implied due to the fact that every other last gen collection has been based on the ps2 version of said games.

 

[Totobeni]

So we're assuming this is based on the PS2 simply because of the boxart?

Not the boxart, more because that PoP Trilogy and Tomb Raider Trilogy are upscaled port of the PS2 versions.

 

[lucius]

When is the 360 version coming out?

I would have thought that the screenshots released are an indication that these are a step up from the PS2 versions. And even if the shots are simply from the original XBox release, would it be wrong to assume that Ubisoft are basically revealing what the PS3 version will indeed look like? Or am I being too naive in regards to promotional material?

 

[Zoibie]

When is the 360 version coming out?

Ubi haven't said anything about a 360 version yet but I wouldn't totally rule it out.

 

[mclaren777]

It would be a shame if this bundle wasn't based on the old Xbox versions.

 

[MortalMonkey]

Ubi haven't said anything about a 360 version yet but I wouldn't totally rule it out.

This article seems to indicate that both the Splinter Cell Trilogy and the Prince of Persia Trilogy are coming to the 360:

http://www.destructoid.com/splinter-cell-prince-of-persia-hd-coming-to-xbox-360-193527.phtml


...and on the Amazon product page for this title, the publisher states that the game supports online leaderboards, trophies and...wait for it... achievements!

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HCYVO8/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I hope that it's one more sign that this game will eventually make its way to the 360.

That's good news, that means that splinter cell is probably based on the xbox versions.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I wouldn't be so sure. This is ubisoft we're talking about here. I could easily see them taking each console's version from it's predecessor.

 

[InfiniteNine]

I wouldn't be so sure. This is ubisoft we're talking about here. I could easily see them taking each console's version from it's predecessor.

Would they really go through all that trouble to port two different versions of the game? That's a huge waste of money.

Depends on if it's easier to get the PS2 versions up and running on the PS3. From what I've read the PS2 versions had to be majorly rewritten from the Xbox versions. So it very well might be easier to port each console's version to the respective company's console.

I still have nightmares...

HOT DAMN Chaos theory still looks good. I had forgotten about the impact of SC series' groundbreaking graphics last-gen.

Not to parrot the PC brigade but it would be amazing with super high resolution and antialiasing up the wazoo. The art assets hold up.

The guy who said it was better than 360 launch games wasn't kidding.

I hope they bring the sweet SC multiplayer back to Xbox Live. I really wanted Spies vs Mercs in Conviction.

That was some awesome stuff. I had a ton of fun in that. I would hope it is brought back. They're not proper ports if they don't.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

It seems there porting from the PC version. (sorry if old)
http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011...oming-to-ps3-on-blu-ray-disc-and-psn-download
EDIT

When we started this project, one of our main aims was to provide the players with the best possible content. Therefore, we decided to port the game from the PC version, which had more content and detail compared to the PS2 version.

 

[giancarlo123x]

The only way ill get this is if Spies Vs Mercs is included, I spent more time playing that in Chaos Theory than playing single player in all SC titles combined.

 

[GeoramA]

Glad they're not the PS2 ports. Actually considering this now.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Glad they're not the PS2 ports. Actually considering this now.

Same. Here's hoping its solid.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

There's hope yet now that we know that the pc version is what's being ported. Hopefully they'll manage to maintain a smooth framerate and manage to Include the online multiplayer stuff.

 

[JB1981]

Definitely interested if ports are good. Was just thinking about how I want to play a good stealth game after finishing Crysis 2.

GREAT NEWS! Now please include Spies vs. Mercs!!!

 

[Withnail]

That post also confirms that the games will be available individually on PSN. I'll def pick up Chaos Theory.

 

[Emitan]

Any news on whether the multiplayer still works? Co-Op in Chaos Theory was a blast.

 

[The Bookerman]

This will be fun, seeing the first videogame I've ever worked on in HD.

 

[jayb]

So still no updated release date?

 

[tzare]

awesome news. PC port was the best option, superior graphics and probably easy to port.
UBI could also add trophies to Double Agent XD

Can't wait, and i also hope a new SC is unveiled at E3 too. My 360 needs more sam fisher.

 

[Afrikan]

This will be fun, seeing the first videogame I've ever worked on in HD.

what? which ones?....I still don't know how the devs pulled off those graphics on the orginal Xbox....still looks amazing.

I have never played the Splinter Cell series.....can't wait to finally dive into it.

 

[ULTROS!]

It's coming in June and it supports 3D: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011...r-cell-trilogy-coming-to-ps3-in-june-with-3d/

strange that the only place that mentions June is in the URL. the actual article says nothing about the release date.

 

[rvy]

God damn, that looks awful!

 

[Ridley327]

You were expecting UE2 games targeted for the Xbox to age gracefully?

Right there with ya.

No multiplayer

Unfortunately the answer to this question is no, the online part of the original games won’t be included.

No multiplayer

Disappointing, but expected. Hopefully, they'll leave in split-screen for co-op in CT.

What is with that "soft" textures? Looks out of place, like if it were textures for a cel-shaded game but then changed the style and keep the textures.

no co-op either
