Ubisoft also finally launched the official site for the game, http://splintercell.us.ubi.com/doubleagent/

holy %$@%

 

[Here Be Dragons]

Ubi is out of ****ing control!

 

[McBacon]

Hey! I can see my house from up here!

 

[Sho Nuff]

yes please

 

[boredJonathan]

Hey! I can see my house from up here!

Its either that or we have the official BAIL OUT pic for the 360.

 

[Amir0x]

holy shit that looks incredible. finally a current gen up-port that isn't a ****ing joke of an afterthought

oh man i really want to say that (you know! THAT), just for laughs! This game > THAT.

 

[SnakeXs]

Must, refrain, from excitement. Still, made, by, Shangai.

Looking much, much more impressive. Much. But, I still cannot get hyped, no matter what, due to the Shangai name attached. I hope for the best and a super pleasant surprise, but I just can't let myself get too excited.

 

[Rabid Pancake]

Lack of Michael Ironside makes this game loose. I'm pretty Tom Clancy has just gone off to do something else. First Rainbow Six: Los Vegas and now this... for shame.

 

[RaySpencer]

holy shit, seriously if this wasnt a Splinter Cell game, i would call bullshit on that being a real shot

Since when is Ironside not returning?

QFT.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I said wow

 

[Rabid Pancake]

You have to be deaf to not notice that that's /not/ Ironside in the E3 trailer. Also the lack of it being in his filmography rasies more questions.

 

[Il Comodino]

when the Ps3 version? in November?

 

[Blimblim]

Btw these are obvious high res renders using the game assets, the images were in 1920x1080 resolution with no sign of aliasing when Ubisoft sent them to me. Not that the game didn't look great during E3 of course.

 

[siege]

No Ironside, no sale.

 

[Tony HoTT]

I CAME IN MY PANTS, TOOK MY PANTS OFF, AND THEN PUT THEM BACK ON!

 

[Amir0x]

It's not announced yet, so atm 'never.'

Spoiler

but it's coming in January 10

 

[squicken]

There was a demo on Gamespot E3 booth show with the devs. Michael Ironside is definitely returning. President Palmer is the one who won't be back. But it's Ubi Shanghai, so I'm not optimistic.

Isn't Ubisoft infamous for prerendering a lot of images.

 

[BigBoss]

Yes, the Red Steel fiasco comes to mind.

 

[Blimblim]

Isn't Ubisoft infamous for prerendering a lot of images.

Yes, but except for the aliasing and texture filtering, the game usually ends up looking the same.

 

[Funky Papa]

I don't know, I do see aliasing (the cables) and some LOD. These look like the typical ultra-high res screenshots we all know.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

I would buy this if i an an xbox 360 or any intention of getting one.

I doubt they are using a native 1080p resolution for that game you know

Haysbert was only in one Splinter Cell, and that was Pandora.


Ironside better be back. I'll be getting the PC version.

That's why I said ultra-high res screenshots instead of "renders" =P

They look like normal screenshots, just with the res cranked up and some artificial FSAA.

While not saying that it isn't coming, UBI has made no acknowledgement about that. Considering in contrast everybody in the world knows the 360 is getting Assassin's Creed.

I didn't know that. The Gamespot interviewer asked about those two actors, and the Ubi guy said no/Haysbert yes/Ironside.

They should bring Haysbert back as well.

I agree with you, but infact I ask "when" and not "if"

 

[EekTheKat]

It's a fairly safe assumption that in the final game it'll be Michael Ironside.

SC:Essentials had some videos I think that made people think they had replaced him (it was even written in a preview of SC:E that Ironside was replaced), but in the final game it was still Michael Ironside. His name was even listed in the credits (along with the original Lambert Don Jordan).

BTW IMDB also doesn't list Splinter Cell Essentials under the list of works Michael Ironside has been in, but yet he's definately listed in the credits in the game.

Given the interwoven nature between SC:E + SC: DA, odds are pretty good they have him for the final game of SC: DA.

Nuh-huh, all from E3.

 

[Stryder]

Aren't these pics old?

 

[McBacon]

Ok

 

[Peru]

Looks like they've taken the series in the right direction from what I've seen of shots and gameplay at E3. Looks great.

 

[Tk0n]

how was the framerate at e3?
from the videos ive seen, it didnt look that smooth.

 

[VALIS]

Well now. Interest in series: reinvigorated.

Was Splinter Cell 1, 2, 3 Xbox exclusive?

If you are going to play "IT'S UBISOFT! MULTIPLATFORM FTW!" card in every Assassin's Creed and Mercenaries 2 thread out there please continue playing it in SC: DA threads otherwise it makes you a damn hypocrite.

Thank you.

 

[thetrin]

Does this remind anyone else of the start of MGS1?

 

[Kangu]

Ok, it's one thing to render you game at ubber res and then AA the hell out of it and release screenshots but whatever the **** Ubi's PR department is doing it's not even in the same league. They don't just do all the rendering tricks they seem to apply some kind of paint filter that makes the shots look really fake, almost like concept art. Bullshots if I ever saw them.

The Rainbow Six shots have the same crap going on, same goes for the original red steel shots and, although it's not by Ubi, some of the released GoW screenshots have this 'look'. Oddly enough Assasins creed doesn't seem to have gotten the same treatment.

Really I'm sure the game looks phenomenal, but these MAXIMized screenshots aren't even close to giving you an idea of what the game looks like.

 

[Kuroyume]

The game looked pretty much like this during e3. Check out the videos.

I can't wait to play the parts of the game where you're locked in prison. It should be hot.

 

[Amir0x]

The Rainbow Six shots have the same crap going on

I reccomend watching the VEGAS video. I was blown away. BLOWN AWAY

 

[Blimblim]

I had looked on IGN and Gamespot and they did not have these shots. But yes after more searching it looks like 1up actually posted these in 2 months ago, but in much lower resolution.
My bad.

Actually these screens are fairly decent. The photoshop use is quite scarce compared with the crazyness of the first screens. For some reason Ubi loves to increase the texture detail with filters

That car is so obviously photoshopped it is not even funny. But the rest looks pretty OK.
