Always bet on Duke.

Your face, your ass - what's the difference?

Win.

as much as I would love to believe that this is all a massive PR stunt... I'm gonna have to go with Occam's Razor on this one.

core i7 with a single gfx card and 4gb ddr3 ram?

I can vouch for this setup. Make that single gfx a 280 GTX and it can handle everything that's thrown at it (so far...)

ok, after reading that epic plot summary, I am genuinely upset that this game is not coming out.

each image tag has a longdesc attribute that is the title of the image.

View the source and search for 'longdesc="

"'. Go directly to the source image from the src attribute and download away ex: The very first image: longdesc="StudyAnAstroJour13"

This just comes as a full-on shock!

My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace, buddy. You are already missed.

He's really just letting people use his name for marketing purposes. To get a "Tom Clancy's" title on the game, it needs to be approved by him that the game has to be somewhat realistic, at least according to his personal standards, whatever they are. I remember reading an article about how Clancy didn't want to approve his name on Splinter Cell because he thought the tri-googles that Fisher wears were too unrealistic and impossible and it took Ubisoft like a month to convince him otherwise.

Many of the games bearing the Clancy name have been very successful, spawning several sequels and expansions. It is unknown how much input Clancy actually has into the games.

well, I'm sold.

Native Instruments is having a $110 off Guitar Rig 3, so I figured it was time to pick it up.

Best Logo: Flashlevel

Best Website: Flashlevel

Sorry to whore out Flashlevel, but their stuff is just awesome. They do flash work without it being too flashy, if that makes any sense. Don't get me wrong, I love 2advanced, but Flashlevel is better because they realize that just because they can do most of the over the top stuff that 2a does doesn't mean they should do it every time.

OMFG. DO WANT!

Being a Splinter Cellaholic, I've been looking forward to this since it was first announced. Sure it doesn't look like Sam Fisher anymore, but Splinter Cell is at a critical point in the franchise. They can keep making games with different stories using the same formula they used for 4 games (5 if you count Essentials on PSP) and risk everyone complaining that they are just milking the franchise, or they can try something new and risk everyone complaining that they're ruining a proven formula (I shall dub this the "Yahtzee Paradox")

Personally I can go either way with this, but in terms of the changes they've made, I like the idea of seeing Sam Fisher in a Jason Bourne/Assassin's Creed style setting. I think it will add so much more to the character. In SC 1 and 2, we didn't really get to see much of the Sam Fisher character. Sure we saw the family-man side of him with Sara, but it was still a little dry. Then Chaos Theory came along and we got to see the humor and learn more about the morality of Fisher. Double Agent pushed the bar even further when it started playing with his emotions. I think what they're doing with Conviction will allow us to see more of the true Sam Fisher. Plus all the added combat stuff and more Assassin's Creed they're making it is a welcome addition in my book because Assassin's Creed was fucking awesome (although I'm sure some of you will jest at that comment).

This is just my two cents and can be taken with a grain of salt. I just wish they would release the damn game already!

Edit: Oh damn it!I just now read skdr's link. Now I'm pissed.

Splinter Cell > MGSKekeke.

QFT. I bought two consoles and a psp for Splinter Cell. I like metal gear, but it's just not a reason for me to buy a PS3.

Kind of like an indie Radiohead. There was a documentary made about them trying to promote their first album in Europe (with Kiefer Sutherland as their tour manager) called I Trust You to Kill Me

Hmm... I'm thinking about applying for the Mobile division programmer position...
