Let's just say that I've heard from various parts of the grapevine that, due to the engine being used for Celceta, a PC (or even PS3) port might not be entirely out of the question. I think the only hurdle might be the resolution of all the assets - it was designed with the Vita in mind and so some interface and texture clean-up work might be needed for an A+ port.
Seven's more of a non-starter, though. Engine's proprietary, designed for the PSP (along with the low-rez assets) and the existing PC port is... not up to the standards consumers here expect.
I'm content with the fact that we'll never get another good Splinter Cell game.
This will have to do, I guess.
You will never be happy
Goddamn, I knew there was a reason why I got rid of this avatar in the first place...
I've never seen a Saorise Ronan film before.
You can watch playthroughs the first, the second (Pandora Tomorrow), the fourth (Double Agent) and the fifth (Conviction) because they are pretty linear in terms of how you approach moment-to-moment stealth.
Play the third (Chaos Theory) and wonder why it they didn't just copy that formula until it got old.
Conviction is ... well you know how some TPS/action games have stealth sequences? Imagine if it were 6 hours long and was the entire game.
Blacklist is definitely on par to be better than Conviction, because they took what worked in Conviction and slapped more stuff on top of it. Good stuff, apparently. Too bad no one gives a shit about it anyway. And then all the 'hardcore' fans apply silly historical revisionism to it and made the series seem way better than it was anyway.

I have enjoyed every single mainline Splinter Cell game released on PC so far.
Blacklist looks like it's trying to please everybody which is a surefire way to please nobody.
I played Chaos Theory again earlier this year and can't agree more with this.
Great game.

Conviction gets bonus points for the coop campaign having one of the biggest "oh shit" moments in gaming history.
Well lemme tell you about Blacklist ... you can play it almost like did Conviction.
Lemme tell all you fans of Chaos Theory ... it'll probably play like Chaos Theory in a general sense.
Lemme tell you fans of Gears/CoD/Halo ...
... shit.
In all honesty though it looks like you actually can't play it as as chest-high humping cover shooter because they really want you to keep relocating to not get killed. Oh, who am I kidding?
Actually, it'll play like DXHR, because stealth is the most efficient and rewarding way to play even though you can easily shootbang your way through it.

conviction is a fucking horrible pc port, be warned
Is that Cerberus' Illusive Man?
Good news, nvidia and the Blacklist PC team worked together to not be (hopefully) shitty.

Finally managed to stop playing Warband for a while. Started a new character and joined the Khan's army. We were at war with the Serranids for a while, currently stomping on the Vaegirs. Horse + lance feels OP, but at least I'm not dying all the time anymore.
Who won that copy of Bioshock: Infinite from the 24 hour raffle?

There can be a massive amount of issues hidden behind visuals.
GTAIV is a perfect example of that.
Now that's just inexcusable.
Yeah, I've read no shortage of great things about Chaos Theory. It's a pity Pandora Tomorrow isn't on Steam... hell, it's not even on Uplay.
Shadows don't render properly.
Which, as you would imagine, is pretty detrimental to a stealth game.

runs horribly for a ue3 game, very inconsistent framerate
LEAD engine being used in Conviction and Blacklist are actually a heavily modified UE2.5 engine.
I know.
At the ending where you have to save your comrade, i cried manly tears of sadness and joy. It was fucking epic. and I hate that word.
Most games that have coop aren't nearly as fun singleplayer.
UE2.5?
Ubi really doesn't give a fuck about the Splinter Cell franchise.
That's just Ubi's attempt to turn the stealth genre on its head.
Bug? No. Feature.

One was open so I was playing the demo to be sure but then it was taken, but then one of the others was blanked out so I put my name there. His call, lol.
That's true. For example, Resident Evil 5 & 6 were terrible in single player, but better in co-op. Still shit games, though.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
One of my favorite games on the 360(/PS3) so I'm sure to enjoy it and the demo played and looked great at 60 FPS and 1080P+ resolutions. Also only paid $14 for it as compared to $30 for X-Com

I've had like 14 gaffers buy it off me today, like 40 with the steam trading communities seems like alot of people want it. it's outselling Payday 2 and Rome 2 which are alot bigger discounts then it.
Its about to creep into the top ten and its still about a month out.
I can see it happening.
If Konami wants to do a Legacy Collection for next-gen consoles they are going to have to port it to x86/x64 anyways.
If enough demand is shown on PC for MGSV then I can definitely see it happening.

All I really want from Konami at this point is the original PC versions of Silent Hill 2 and 3 with a few tweaks. They're capable of non-broken widescreen and iirc Silent Hill 3 has built in downsampling among other fairly advanced options in it. The PC versions are there, all they have to do is dig out the floppies they backed up the masters to.

I don't think your being greedy at all, I want this to succeed not only because it was one of my favorite games from when I had a 360, but because I hope it will open Konami's eyes to an untapped market. Hopefully this does well and we'll see some of those games you mentioned.
I immediately regretted purchasing Castlevania this early. It doesn't even have a grid icon yet, which is going to make it stick out like a sore thumb for the rest of the month.
I bought it on the 360 day one and loved it, but it stands as the only game I was unable to play due to the framerate. After about 10-15 minutes, I would have a headache and eyestrain. The demo was smooth as butter, and reminded me of how much I enjoyed the short time I was able to handle the game on the 360.

Well Team Fortress 2 was in development for 9 years and had at least 3 different known versions (a realistic, almost battlefield style version, a Half Life 2 version and the one we have today) and that turned out pretty well.
I don't think anyone left Valve over TF2 though.
Still I hope Xcom is good, it looks interesting.
