E3 09: Splinter Cell Conviction screens are hype-inducing photo

I wouldn't consider myself an avid fan of the Splinter Cell series by any means, but that's not to say I won't play and enjoy the Tom Clancy-branded games. The thing is, I don't normally pay much attention to these titles pre-release, but that sort of changed with Splinter Cell Conviction.

I have been actively following Conviction since we first saw Sam Fisher's new look, and I have to say, man has the game come a long way since then. While the few screenshots and box art we have are a start, I want to see more, even if it means busting a few urinals and pulling a bad guy or two out of a window.

I have had an extremely limited amount of time with the Splinter Cell series. I'm not sure if it's coming to an end now or not, but I'm genuinely interested in this entry for the series. Hopefully there'll be something else for it after this one.

Jason Bourne is going to be replaced as "Best Spy That Hit's People In Toilet's"
Coming to think of it, i prefer the old Sam, with the emo hair, bit this one is also fine.

One thing I really dug from the presentation was the mission objectives being laid out in the world instead of a HUD. Like the "Infiltrate the mansion" objective slapped on the wall of the mansion was very nice.

I am very excited for this.

The gameplay footage was orgasmic. I said earlier today and I still will -- GOTY.

The screens are pretty enough on their own, but the actual gameplay footage is made of sex and win.

I've never played a Splinter Cell game before, and I think the premise of Conviction is horribly clichèd, but at least it looks fun as hell to play. :D

I want this more than MGS. Much more... Sam Fisher is rough and ready. Solid Snake, or whatever his erection sounding name is, is a bit too homoerotic for me to take too seriously in an action game.

snake is more homoerotic because he was made by the japanese, they have a slightly different view on what being a soldier boy is all about.

The character redesign I don't dig. The gameplay looks great.
