Splinter Cell: Conviction

[Hockeystick]

A new Splinter Cell game for the Xbox360 has been revealed. Splinter Cell: Conviction.

I do like this feature:

The physics engine is central to gameplay this time around, you can use items as weapons, block doors with furniture etc. -- some really cool stuff there. Also, the enemy AI is dynamic, so your enemies react to what you do and act differently each time around.

But I don't like this one:

As we said, the game is played mostly in broad daylight, with the crowd working as a "dynamic cover" for Sam. The game's interface helps the player using two itmes: there is a "hero instict" meter of sorts, which allows Sam to see enemies with infrared style vision, and a danger meter which shows how close you are to being spotted.

Pity there are no screenshots yet, but those are some great looking environment concepts. Also, nice to see SC give in and finally go the 24 route -- semi superheroic agent and a heavy focus on improvisation? Unrealistic, maybe, but awesome.

Oh, wow. Screens are up now: http://jeux-france.com/blog153473_Blakguy

This is awesome.

I sure hope Splinter Cell isnt going the way of the other games, sure looks like it.

Everything after Chaos Theory doesent look too promising to me.

SC always was the way of the 'other games.' It was the first story driven and incredibly unrealistic (400 rifle shots to the chest? No problem, there are medkits!) game in the clancy series.
