Thought this info needed a new thread under a different title. Blazing Angels? Who cares. Just kidding game looks great I may get it on 360! But this is the meaty part of the info:

http://www.totalvideogames.com/news/Ubisoft_Confirms_Q1_2006_Line_Up_9003_4595_0.htm

What does make surprising news is that whilst Sam Fisher will return in the quarter on next generation consoles and PC, Splinter Cell 4 on Xbox 360 doesn't make the list.

[PhatSaqs]

Huh?

 

[bishoptl]

Well, it's not like Sony hasn't been saying all along that Spring 2006 was the window for a PS3 release. I'll believe Kaz/Stringer over the fevered wishing of fanboys who populate a videogame message board on the internet.

 

[brandonh83]

I just don't see the PS3 being out anywhere before June. If June, it'd be Japan obviously.

 

[crunker99]

i dont get it whats the joke

 

[Beer Monkey]

Not in North America, not a chance.

September 2006 at the earliest for North America. Drink beer on that.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Typo. That is my guess.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I don't think it confirms anything. EB Games has Splinter Cell 4 as a game on the 360 to be released on 3/1/2006.

Looks like a typo to me.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Huh?

IAWTP

 

[BlueTsunami]

I'm confused. How does that statment show that the PS3 will be coming out Spring 2006?

(Not being a smartass can someone please explain

 

[Mrbob]

Huh?

UBI Soft has their list of planned releases in Q1 2006. Instead of singling out Splinter Cell 4 for Xbox 360 release, it says they intend to release the game on next generation consoles, meaning more than one.

So when is the PS3 version of The Outfit coming out? Tell us.

 

[Gahiggidy]

First Day of Spring == March 20

Last Day of Spring == June 21

no, actually it says:

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell® 4 (working title)
	

Xbox, PS2, GameCube, PC

http://www.ubisoftgroup.com/News/Info.aspx?nId=3641

What the article is surprised about is that 360 is not on that list despite the game being announced for it.

 

[Mrbob]

Uh oh. Bail out!

Doesn't make much sense to me though since the 360 version is the basis for the current gen versions which are just ports of the 360 version.

As long as Double Agent is out for 360 in March I'll be happy.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Uh oh. Bail out!

Typo.

 

[Ghengis Cohen]

Is is possible the 360 version is different enough to warrant another title altogether?

OMFG Spinter Cell 4.5 Xbox 360 exclusive!!!11!!1

 

[bitwise]

Er, you've got that backwards. the 360/PC versions are just upscaled ports being done by Ubi Shanghai. Ubi Montreal's still handling PS2/PSP/GC/Xbox though releases.

Nope.

Shanghai is handling the game, which is the 360 version while Montreal is doing the ports to current gen. I have the info right infront of me in the big 10 page blowout from Game Informer. Montreal is doing a scaled down port to Xbox, PS2, and GC. Nothing mentioned about a PSP version at all. SC PSP is probably a different game not Double Agent.

 

[shpankey]

I'm completely lost.

..as usual

 

[monkeyrun]

I think it confirms that phantom is coming in spring.

 

[jarrod]

Nope.

Well now that this info has been debunked, the thread is pretty much worthless. I'll try to make it worthwhile again!

I posted this in the other thread, but I think they accidently put the Xbox 360 for SC4 in the blazing angels row
