Haha Metal Gear Solid quality?
That frontpage model has some nice texture work and the the filter effect makes it look very realistic. However it has absolutely nothing on the Snake Model.

What does that pic have to do with anything? We're talking about the cover.RonaldoSan said:Haha Metal Gear Solid quality?

Well Snake's gloves are pretty damn detailed if that's anything.

Probably an enhanced port. But at least they'll have a few more months on final hardware. I still have almost zero faith in UBI Shanghai to get the job done.
I'm sure Splinter Cell 5 which is probably out in March 2007 will be built from the ground up when you have 360 and PS3 version.

i disagree with u about the face, i think snakes face looks as good as the cover. and i also think sams hair on that cover looks great, especially his beard & eyebrows.dorio said:
basically if the 360 & ps3 are about even in the gfx dept., i could see that sam in the cover coming close to looking like that in real-time on the 360.
but yeah, if they could make this happen within the 360's lifetime, i would be happy with it graphically.
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
man, this is the first splinter cell that really excites me since the first. I'm glad they've gone in a very different direction.
When I mentioned the hair I meant the head hair. The facial hair does look amazing. As far as the face, the cover looks more realistic to me probably because its probably a human model. Sam looks great but I wouldn't mistake him for a real person like I did the guy on that cover.puebla said:

From what I've heard... this is new code.... built from scratch on the 360. PC version is said to be based on loose 360 code but otherwise a new engine on the PC as well.

I like Sam Fischer's new 'caveman' look.
I received my Game Informer today as well, scanned though the article quickly and found a big note of interest. This item gives me hope for the 360 version of Double Agent. Game Informer states Double Agent is in development by UBI Shanghai, who of course is doing the 360 version. UBI Montreal is taking what Shanghai is doing, and trying to port down what fits onto Xbox, PS2, and GC. So it does look like the 360 version is the definitive version of Double Agent while the PS2, GC, and Xbox version are stripped down ports. I'll give the example stated in the magazine. This is just one difference:
At the same time, the article states the current gen versions will sport some exclusive features. Ugh I hate when this happens. Anyway it says that since Xbox and PS2 can't have the same online ranking system as the 360, they get exclusive spy vs spy multiplayer. This isn't in the 360 version. Bullshit. I want this in the 360 version too.
The premise does sound great for the game. The Splinter Cell games seem to be aging like a fine wine, each one getting better than the last. Splinter Cell was OK, and Pandora Tommorrow was basically a mission pack. Chaos theory was very good with more open ended gameplay and now Double Agent is going another step.

Hmm looks like Double Agent is ripping off MGS4 already. 
One mission is set in the middle of a full scale African civil war. Has two distinct AI groups battling each other with civilians caught in the middle. Sam isn't part of either side, but he can interfere with the battle how he sees fit if he wants or stay hidden. The whole mission takes place in broad daylight so you won't be able to hide in the shadows. Looks like you can choose to save civilians which will put directly in the middle of the battle or just try to stay out of it the best you can. Interesting.

I don't get it when people say Chaos Theory was more open-ended, I got to the boat mission and then got fed up just as I had the previous 2 games. Thank goodness for the multiplayer, though, only like 50 people play the PC version so I've already played everyone like 10 times.

I can name numerous amounts of games where two factions fight each other with you being in the middle of it.
Anyway, as usual this will be a game i'll buy purely for its multiplayer aspect. Spy vs Mercenary is the best multiplayer idea ever.
Now just hoping its still there :lol

Chaos Theory is by far the best Splinter Cell, so it's a good thing Shanghai is making the next one.

:lol people thinking the cover shot of SC is realtime reminds me of...
OMG THAT HAS TO BE REALTIME LOOK AT THE HAIR!

not an idiot
This is the exact opposite of what I would want. I would rather have Montreal make the game and Shanghai do the porting. Shanghai making the core game and gameplay means we might be looking at another pice of shit Pandora Tomorrow [single player].Mrbob said:
This is terrible news.
It's a moot point because its an all playstation mag and splinter cell 4 is not coming to the ps3 and the ps2 version definitely doesn't look like that.Ninja Scooter said::lol people thinking the cover shot of SC is realtime reminds me of...

I hope not. We'll see though.
I would rather have Shanghai work on the core game for 360 and Montreal port it to current gen than Montreal work on the core game (current version) then have it Xbox 1.5 ized by Shanghai. I consider it the lesser of two evils. My preference would be Montreal on the 360 version and Shanghai porting current gen but I guess we wait until SC5 for this.
Sams shocking new tale would have left us guessing at every turn if Ubisoft didnt tell us he's a double agent IN THE FUCKING TITLE OF THE GAME. idiots.
Also, sucks that Shanghai is making it, PT turned me off single player splinter cell completely, SC1 & 3 are about 100% better.

if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
Out of curiosity, why did people find Pandora's single-player to be so bad? I really liked it; even more than the first game. The levels had a lot more locational variety (Indonesian jungle, train, France, etc.), there were a lot more alternate routes through levels, and so on.
