Splinter Cell: ConViction

[CELTICPRED]

He's seemed to have gotten younger with each game.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sam Sheppard = Benjamin Button?

 

[CELTICPRED]

Fisher.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Balls. I just watched The Right Stuff a little while ago. My brain R dum.

Anyway, I can't wait until we get to Splinter Cell 12: Diaper Disaster!

 

[ProjectPat2280]

He looks a little bit younger there than in Double Agent to me. Maybe it was the baldness in DA.

Yea i thought the same thing. Im like damn he looks younger. Maybe they arent ready to retire him after all.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah, he does.

I don't have a problem with it, though.

Some people simply age better than others. My dad looks like a decade younger than he really is.

Plus, since Sam is really...George Clooney, then it makes sense.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He does have Clooney's "tastefully grayish hair" look going on there.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

He does have Clooney's "tastefully grayish hair" look going on there.

I'm pretty sure he was designed to look like Clooney.

Especially if you look at the earlier versions of Sam, from Splinter Cell or Pandora Tomorrow or even Chaos Theory...he looks like a Clooney clone.

If they ever make a Splinter Cell game, Clooney is a shoe-in.

And, here's a look at the Splinter Cell ConViction Premium Bathroom theme for Xbox Live, for 240 Microsoft Points I believe.

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, "bathroom theme." That's kind of awesome, though.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Dammit, now im gonna have to buy that theme.

There's a whole host of delays coming out of today's Ubisoft investor update, but this is the one that'll likely hurt the most: Splinter Cell: Conviction has been moved from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2010. In other words, Sam Fisher won't be making his return until sometime between January 1 and March 31 of next year (the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009-10).

You're sad, we're sad, everyone's sad. But Conviction's been delayed so many times, you can make a few more months, right? Right?

Yet another delay for this year, sheesh, 2009 is turning out not to be nearly as big as it once was for me

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ugh, lame. I was actually looking forward to Conviction.

 

[Darthphere]

What the ****? Seriously, what the ****.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Again????????

 

[CELTICPRED]

If anything, I'm relieved.

Now I can enjoy it casually instead of rushing through it before CODMW2 comes out.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

This is THE single biggest reason why i hate Ubisoft. They NEVER stick to a release date. I cant remember a major game where they announced a date and actually met it.

MW2 would have been on the back burner for me. I mean Conviction is gonna be something fresh. As good as MW2 will be, its still gonna be the same old formula.

Well, so far Assassin's Creed II has stayed on track. So far...

 

[CELTICPRED]

I still play COD4 on a regular basis so you know where my heart lies.

 

[BlackLantern]

but they damn near guaranteed, at E3, that there wouldn't be another delay...its already been almost 2 years at this point

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Damn near" ain't a guarantee.

 

[Darthphere]

If they said guarandamntee it then it's a different story.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

A funnier story.

 

[Darthphere]

But yeah, I'm pissed, but at the same time it kind o bodes well with me considering that I was about to buy 4 games in the span of 2 weeks. Now it's down to 3.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Well, so far Assassin's Creed II has stayed on track. So far...

Yea i hope that makes its release date. Being thats one of the biggest holiday titles to drop this yr, id like to assume they will make it, but then again, its Ubisoft we are talking about. I think Ubisoft is french for "Delay"
