Now called Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, coming to Xbox as well as PC for Chrimbo - and other formats in 2005. Plus: new screens!

Ubisoft has said, additionally, that the game is to release "on other formats" in the first quarter of 2005. An N-Gage rendition is specifically mentioned, but we assume that versions are also being developed for PS2, GameCube and GBA. We're currently awaiting confirmation on this from the publisher.

PC version for me this time

Aren't all these splinter cell games coming out too fast? They just couldn't wait til next-gen for this one?

 

[Kuroyume]

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo ... I wanted it for Christmas! If the RE rumors are true too...

Well, I know why this has happened. PT was handled by a different studio than the original, so the Montreal team had much more time to work on the third game. They had limited involvement with PT, but not enough to de-rail them from this third game. I am disappointed to hear that they are working on multiplatform versions. I was hoping this would be PC only. At the very least, that would allow them to create MUCH large levels and improve the game. I would like them to strive for a more open-ended "Thief-like" design and abandon the ultra-linear levels of the first two games.

I do agree that these titles are coming out way too fast, though...but we'll see.

 

[Deg]

Makes sense. They want to maximize sales.

 

[puck1337]

Ubisoft is out of control.

 

[Kuroyume]

You're out of control.

 

[Razoric]

Ubisoft owns.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

If only they'd put some of those SC riches towards BG&E2 then I'd say milk away.

 

[human5892]

That's a terrible subtitle.

 

[epmode]

where the hell is the competitive multiplayer?

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

That's a terrible subtitle.

If only it were possible to ban Chaos, Dark(ness), Prophecy(ies), Chronicle(s), Realm(s) to name a few from being used in game titles.

Haha, so true.

 

[LuckyBrand]

i dont think they are coming out too quick.. if you dont want them, dont buy them.. if you love the games and want the sequels, i dont think youll be turned off having 3 games between christmas 02 and the beginning of 05.

shit, i long for the days of sega genesis/snes when you could get 2-3-4 sequels in the same series on one platform..

[siamesedreamer]

The latest EGM says that there will be an online mude like in PT.

This is good news its coming out this fall. I just hope it doesn't have an effect on a few new online maps for PT.

 

[cvxfreak]

Damnit, why is it that game companies like to come up with "catchy" subtitle names? Chaos Theory is the latest one after Pandora Tomorrow and Eternal Wings. -_-

 

[lordmrw]

It seems Game Informer wasted no time in getting the exclusive on this one. I still haven't gotten around to playing Pandora Tomorrow ( or the first one for that matter), but I am interested in how this one will turn out.

 

[seismologist]

I'm really falling behind

was there a Splinter Cell 2 already?

For most of us, yes... but you can pick up your GC version this week. :b

 

[raYne]

Pandora Tomorrow was considered SC:2, that said the focus was obviously on multiplayer in part two.

The single player was more like part one expanded rather than a worthy sequel, so I welcome the fact that 3 is coming out so soon. From the PC videos of three that were shown, it's definitely more worthy of being called a sequel than two was.

MGS3 Vs SC3

FIGHT for the Fall 04 ( stealth game only )

 

[Manders]

Wow. Ubisoft is really milking this. I'm gonna pass.

isnt MGS3 that dress up game collectathon with all the animal crossing-like clothing?

There is also a "grab the crotch" minigame, never forget that part

if this is true, egm is my new hero.

 

[Kuroyume]

There will be an online mode... a co-op mode/game that takes place online; SC: Chaos Theory is like two games... it was shown at e3. I'm not sure about a versus mode like in SCT.

 

[Dave Long]

The French Capcom.

Ugggh, so that's two Splinter Cell games within 10 months? Talk about friggin' overkill. I think the honeymoon is over, for gamers and Ubisoft...

Well you did see that multiple publications gave Splinter Cell 3 game of the show for E3 this year. I was able to see the demo live at E3 and it looks great. Don't worry it will be good. Now Ghost Recon 2 is a different story ;(

 

[border]

Splinter Cell 3 got acclaimed for its graphics, by fanboy journalists who haven't even played the game. For the past few years they have been handing out "Best of Show" awards to whatever graphics-driven franchise game is unveiled.

 

[fennec fox]

Chrimbo?

 

[drohne]

that's limey for christmas.

 

[AniHawk]

I was thinking this fall was looking really bare. Finally we're getting some good games to fill the void between October and December.

Heh...I had to do a double take at this 'un

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

boy, they're pulling these subtitles right out pf their tuckus arent they?

 

[Mrbob]

I will probably get this for the online mode, but not right away. PT dropped in price really quickly with sales. With a tougher market and milking which is ruining the franchise, I figure SC3 will drop in price quickly as well.

What the hell are you talking about? The game still retails at $49 in most places and I think it sold great.

splinter cell 3 = dissapointment

ghost recon 2 = rock!!!

all IMO though

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

This reminds me of REmake/RE0 shedule

Xbox Fall lineup gets another AAA,good work MS.

 

[Mrbob]

What the hell are you talking about? The game still retails at $49 in most places and I think it sold great.

I've noticed it on sale at Target for $37.88 multiple times.

CompUSA ran a promotion a couple weeks after PT launched for $29.99 for a week. They were out there if you caught them.

 

[Renegade]

As long as I get my Splinter Cell Kart I'm happy.

Could this be ANOTHER big game for Xbox this holidays? Good going MS.

He was being sarcastic

 

[Renegade]

Where's the ' '

Hooray for the N-Gay version
