| Delay's have never bothered me, just means more time to focus on the game. I'd rather have a perfect Splinter Cell that takes years to come out, than a rushed, poor game. |

I love the Forever mention there!
made me smile.
The delay is not in fear of any or all of those games as SC will outsell them all, as both Ubi and MS have a big marketing push planned.
It is due to Ubi moving it to the start of the next fiscal year.
With the 3rd party software collapse on the wii and DS expect all publishers to move back to the hardcore.
EA have already done it, Sega mentioned it too
good news I say

Games Industry fact: Games that take over 2 years work are often rubbish.
Not saying Conviction will be, I personally cannot wait, best game of 010 for me & it's not even out yet (yes I'm that much of a Splinter Cell fanboy).
Disappointed it won't be out next month, let down cause it was going to be a bday gift (thought a month late) but at least Mass Effect 2 will be out 5 days after said bday, hurrah, should keep my nerves on edge til Conviction finally comes out. |

Well this game has been delayed and hyped for soo long that I can't say I am surprised. However Batman AA did get delayed from June 09 to Sept 09 and that game was awesome.
I hope the extra polish makes the game worth this looooong wait. |

| I actually am happy of that cuz I had a huge list of games coming one after another. And it does need a lot of polishing. In CES 2010 I saw that they showed some gameplay footage and I saw some glitches w/ the AI when your character beats them down. Although I was a bit desperate to get it I have Mass Effect 2 and Just Cause 2 to fit the bill while I wait for SC:C :D |

| A 2 month delay isn't a bad thing. The game is essentially finished, they're just polishing it (which is never bad). It's not like it's being put on hiatus or cancelled or anything. Remember that Splinter Cell is one of Ubisoft's flagship franchises. |

this game will probably just end up being one of those games that keeps getting delayed.
the more delays the more it will be hyped up. this probably means people will be dissapointed.
my moneys going to mass effect 2, bioshock 2 and battlefield: bad company 2 now. |

The longer they delay, the more hype will grow. Can they live up to it now? "Perfect" is a line, somewhere before it is "Failure", and after the line is "Failure" again. If you work too much to get to "Perfect" and carry on working, you'll cross that line and end up back in "Failure". People strive to make things better than they need to be, which can have consequences.
Or, "Just release the frickin' game!". And, what is with game adverts playing crappy mainstream music? Are original soundtracks obsolete now? I dunno, Bayonetta's advert came on... |

im actually looking forward to this game. Loved AC 2, this is like a darker, deeper, grittier modern day AC.
and every time i hear more about this game, i want it even more.
we got the new gameinformers at work today, and there is a 4 page article about SC: Conviction, its quite a good read! |

Forum Posts: 318 | Comment #48 by RazgriZ FX Thursday, January 14, 2010 @ 05:56:21 PM | |
@ 26 - Yes. Too Human.
There has to be a right balance, too soon & you get under developed games (movie games). Over stretched games at you get bad games like Too Human and Perfect Dark Zero.
If it's in development for so long it will most often turn out bad. Technology is moving forward all the time, if the game is built up to meet standards that were at launch of 360 for example, and they kept delaying it to "polish" it, eventually they would stumble into the time frame that Gears of War came out; chances are the graphics wouldn't be up to scratch and you would end up with something that looks like Avatar in comparison to Gears of War (Avatar the easiest 1k game ever not the master piece movie).
You think that games pumped out every year like CoD are crap? Yeah, the obvious answ |
|
Forum Posts: 318 | Comment #49 by RazgriZ FX Thursday, January 14, 2010 @ 05:56:44 PM | |
>continued...
Yeah, the obvious answer, it's not one year in development, it's two. In CoD's case they have 2 massive teams, in fact two massive seperate companies; Infinity Ward & Treyarch. Once one CoD is released (CoD4 for eg) they immediately start work on another a few weeks later (CoD6).
Get your facts straight, oh and also my info comes from the GI itself & people who work in it, my tutor was after all a part of Evo Studies ;) |

Well RazgriX FX they have to polish because they are working on a heavily modified unreal engine 2.5, while gears and others use 3.0,
That adds to the "polish"
But whats with games not meeting their developments, you would think with all of this publicity, within the last week we got 5 to 7 splinter cell updates, with Codeofconviction.com and other viral advertising mediums,
One would think that this game was nearly done. |

| Pandemic kept saying Mercenaries 2 needed polish and kept pushing the game back. At some point, the developer cuts their losses and pushes the game out. You may not want to buy this in the first month or so, let other people find the problems. |

I've had thie collector's edition pre-ordered for some time now, but the delay is okay. At least it won't be like Wolfenstein where we had to wait a few months for an update to make the single player campaign finishable, and the MP worth playing.

@ #9
You are correct, it was originally slated for November 2008.
Look, there is nothing worse than getting a game home you have been waiting ages for, and it ends up disappointing somehow, even if it is in the smallest detail.
If they are committed to making the best game possible, and that is going to take a couple more months, so be it. I love Splinter Cell, and if two more months means a better game, I'm ok with that.
I mean c'mon, it's not like there aren't enough titles to tide us over until this gets released is it! All the moaners should really take a chill pill. |
