Splinter Cell: Conviction

[hairlesswookiee]

Just played through the demo and I must say = AWESOME!!! Gameplay is great even though its a little different from the old Splinter Cell games. Just take some getting used to, but once you get used to it I think its gonna be a blast. Lets just say the game is still centered around stealth, but with great options for action playing.

AWESOME demo, gonna be a great game. And its gonna have co-op so its an automatic buy. Why cant every game be co-op?

I downloaded it but haven't had any interest to try it out yet.

forgot about this demo....off to download it.

I downloaded the demo the other day but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I stayed away from the previous Splinter Cell cause I'm not too much of a stealth game fan. I know this one will still have elements of it but I read that it has more action to it than the others, so I'm hoping I'll like it cause it looks like it's gonna be really good.

I didn't care much for it. It felt very much like Heavy Rain, like instead of taking cover myself and moving to the next object and shooting the guys. I highlighted the surface and just hit a prompt command to make him run and take cover and even highlighted over enemies, and then he shot for me.


It took me out of it.

seems like the previous Splinter Cells...different in a good way but it's still about stealth...at least in the demo.

It felt like Heavy Rain? The moving from cover to cover with the push of a button is just an easier way to slide from point to point. You can still move the control stick and manually go into cover by holding down the left trigger.

As for him shooting the enemies automatically, that's the mark and execute system. You don't use that every time, or at all really, it's just something there to help you out in tight spots. You can still manually aim and shoot like a regular shooter. The mark and execute meter only fills up when you get up behind a guy and take him down with your hands, so it isn't infinite.

Not trying to push the game on you or anything, I just don't really understand the comparison to Heavy Rain.

Yeah I got a chance to play it not long after I posted and I enjoyed it. It is about stealth but I felt that when I got compromised, which will probably happen alot with me, I still had a fighting chance and I wasn't instantly screwed.

That's really all I wanted. I don't mind trying to be stealthy but when it fails or I make a mistake, I just want a fighting chance to get out of it. I'm really looking forward to playing the final game.

On a side not, it was probably just me but did the visuals seem just a little bit rough? I know it was a demo and it didn't look bad at all but it was just something I noticed.

Demo is plenty fun. You don't need to use any of these new features if you don't want to. They're just there to action it up a bit...I can't wait to get full use out of this with the co-op campaign--Imagine yourself and another player moving on both sides of a room and both players marking and executing an entire room of bad guys.
~~One thing I didn't like was the kill only takedowns. Hopefully this is just for the demo and you have the option of killing or knocking them out in the full game.

I wish they released a Demo for the PC. This looks like it is going to be one awesome game!

 

[Starkiller]

Just not feeling this game.

Either am I. Im downloading the demo to see if it changes my mind.

 

[Fives]

the controls take some getting used to and the demo didnt have the same impact on me as when i played the demo for the first splinter cell, i dont know it seems something is misssing from this.....but hey its just the demo, we'll see how the game turns out.

^ it's missing the splinter cell feel. they turned it more into an action game. enter area, melee, use the marking system, repeat.

 

[Havok]

Well as a newcomer to the series I think it plays great. I'm sure Ubisoft wasn't trying to alienate the fans of the series but just trying to bring in new ones that hadn't played a Splinter Cell before. I honestly think they did a good job and it's a nice stealth/action mix.

I guess you didn't realize you don't have to use this every time.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

I think it feels exactly like the older games. cant wait

After playing through the demo many times I feel it reminds me of Jason Bourne very, very much.

That's what my cousin and I said after playing the demo, they are moving toward the bourne style with the action and gameplay
