Splinter Cell: ConViction

[CELTICPRED]

Have they ever released any of the games' soundtracks?

They pop up on youtube and the only thing I've found are torrents, which I don't use.

 

[Addendum]

Galbadia Hotel has stuff available. If it's not in the list of games that you can get for free, you can join their forums and get download links in their forum. The cost to join is priced the same as it did to join here.

However, the site has recently had a problem with a particular malware problem. I've not had any ill effects on my side of things yet.

Never heard of the place, is it some illegal downloading site?

Chaos Theory has a soundtrack.

Saw that one, but Double Agent's is amazing.

They comply with copyright laws.

The site's main focus is on video game music and anime music.

Wow Bale, nice, i SUCK at drawing. Really, really suck. Really suck.

Thanks, Pat.

Practice, practice, practice, practice. That's what it took me.

listen to the fans, but still use their own intuition....the fans are NOT always right

Agreed.

I think visually, it's okay to take the fans at heart. But gameplay wise, story wise...not so much.

But, things like no Hobo Sam...and taking Sam back to his roots, sounds smart to me.

The Mark and Execute is being critcised like hell on gamefaqs, but then again...everything gets hammered on those forums.

I think the mark and execute and projected objectives on the enviroment are examples of things that the developer took they're own judgement on.

I think they released Amon Tobin's music for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. You can get it on Amazon.

Behavior, or Michael McCann, did the soundtrack for Double Agent. You can download it from his official website, http://www.behaviormusic.com/artists/michael_mccann/music.htm

It's his official website, so it's not illegal to download.

Personally, I love this soundtrack. It's got every song from the Xbox to the Xbox 360 version and even a nice ICELAND MYSPACE MIX.

It's great ambient music, I love listening to it as I draw or write.

And if you check on Xbox LIVE, browsing under game titles, you'll find this cover is being used for Splinter Cell ConViction. Now, the good news is, if you check the cover of Splinter Cell Double Agent as well, the Tom Clancy logo is also different than the actual box art for the DA game.

So, maybe the Tom Clancy logo will be moved to the usualy place?

That Cover Owns.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea that cover is so sick. Maybe theyll just shrink it down some, so the cover isnt covering Sams head. Sick cover tho, sick, sick cover.

Right now, after Ghostbusters of course, if i could only get one game for the rest of the year, id choose this. Really excited for this game.

Yeah this Game Looks Sick.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Pat, these games are making me go broke. I might have to hold off on Ghostbusters because soon, Arkham Asylum will come knocking on my door for those $100 bucks and change.

I think the Tom Clancy logo might, and probably will, get moved around. I was looking at the other covers...and sometimes the logo is within the art...but the official box art always seems to have the Clancy logo on the left side as a border. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened here.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I kind of miss Sam's shaggy hair and beard. That cover makes me think of the Bourne series more than Splinter Cell. Still, it's a good cover.

 

[BlackLantern]

well sam always had short hair and some stubble going...he was bald in DA

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I know, I just liked the look of the shaggy hair and beard. It's an immediate visual cue that this is a man who's lost everything and is so laser-focused on revenge that he doesn't give a s*** about personal grooming or anything else.

 

[CELTICPRED]

I'd think the shaggy beard and hair was a must for someone evading the law.

He's spotted, he shaves the beard or hair.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe he was already spotted before the game starts.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think the shaggy hair and beard just got bunched with the strange gameplay...or strange to Splinter Cell fans.

Cutting his hair and shaving his beard serves as a visual cue to the fans that they're taking things back to formula.

So, giving Sam his classic look...does serve as some kind iconographic cue to hardcore SC fans.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Was Double Agent a huge departure for the series or something? Because I thought the gameplay remained consistent throughout the series. I hope DA doesn't suck 'cause I just bought it last week and I'm planning to play it after I finish Ghostbusters.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

To hardcore fans...sorta.

The daylight gameplay was seen as traitor-ish from some fans.

Splinter Cell never had Sam sneaking in the sun before...so, in that sense...DA was on new ground.

And new ground scares the **** out of everyone, so...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hahahaha, okay, whew. You had me scared for a second there. But if their complaint is that Sam's running around in the daytime, f*** 'em, they're clearly just the oversensitive fanboys that no one can hope to please anyway.

 

[CELTICPRED]

I enjoyed the DA campaign. Not as good as any of the first 3 games, but it's still engaging.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I figured I should reacquaint myself with SC since I haven't played any of them since the first game, and DA was the only next-gen one. I read plot synopses of the second and third games on Wikipedia, so I should be caught up going into DA.
