Grapixx aren't that great Syphon Filter looks better but they get the job done

 

[Wario64]

They've added some old missions in the game too, but I think they're extra missions

Well that's a good bonus but its really all about the new stuff.

Wait, so this is Splinter Cell minus pretty visuals? What's the point?

Looks pretty good to me! Dynamic lighting is there, nice playable frame rate... doesn't look as solid as Syphon Filter but gets the job done.

 

[Mook1e]

This is portable Splinter Cell WITH the pretty visuals (finally). This will be the third portable Splinter Cell and it looks to be the best (by a long shot) if it isn't broken (gameplay)

 

[Littleberu]

MGS4 is better looking.

Looks nice for PSP, but I wonder how the controls are.

This game pretty much incorporated console FPS controls, but that doesn't transfer well on a PSP...so I'm a bit skeptical.

Controls explained here:

They are pretty complicated

The graphics do look very good, theres more detail to everything than in Syphon Filter.

I think I'll wait for the PS2 version.

There is no PS2 version, its exclusive to PSP.

So was GTA: Liberty City Stories.

:lol :lol /THREAD

But that was made by R*! are you saying that all third parties will port their PSP games to PS2? That's a foolish statement.

Heck, there might even be an Xbox version.

New levels, new voice acting, new script, new scenarios? So all the resources that go into a traditional console installment of Splinter Cell, only now its a exclusive title to the console with a still relativley small userbase, instead of across several platforms and a PC version, like its forebearers have been.
If Ubi Soft wants to make money on this, and they probably do, it doesn't seem farfetched to me that a console port lies in Sam's future. Besides, didn't Splinter Cell always sell best on the Xbox anyway? How many of Sam's fans are PSP owners and are going to drop fifty on this when Double Agent is already out by then?

It will happen.

Splinter Cell sold well on PS2 as well. Dude I don't think Ubi are spending a lot of money on this, it looks like a heavily downgraded Splinter Cell PS2 engine. Xbox, PC, PS2 etc are getting Double Agent and Ubi probably didn't want to port DA to PSP because so far all console to PSP ports have sucked balls so they made a new game instead.

Damn this looks good. Guys it's a freaking portable Splinter Cell. WTF?

 

[ghostmind]

My PSP is finally going to get some luvin' over the next few months... any word on 2.7 improvements yet?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

There is already Splinter Cell 4 coming, seems kind of pointless to port this to the home consoles.
