![New Splinter Cell: Conviction scans; Ubisoft devs crap on the PS3 [Update] photo](http://www.destructoid.com/elephant//ul/31376-splinter-cell-feature.jpg)
Sam's gone emo. He's also kicking ass in broad daylight and fighting crime by hurling the entire Ikea catalog at the bad guys. A Finnish gaming magazine scored an exclusive look at Splinter Cell: Conviction, noting new gameplay along with some dispariging remarks about the game's unlikely apperance on the PSTriple:
- No more sneaking around in the shadows. Apparently you're going to be more like James Bond and infiltrate buildings in plain daylight. You won't have to use force or sneak around as long as you don't act suspiciously.
- According to the article, every single object that is rendered on screen has physical properties and most of them can be used by Sam. For example, Sam can pick up furniture and use it as a weapon, or throw printers at enemies or papers in the face of enemies to gain the upperhand in fights.
- Melee fights are much more than "press this button to hit" this time around. There's different context sensitive attack buttons and as mentioned before lots of environmental interaction.
- Ubisoft developers stated that being exclusive to the 360 allows them to do much more than if they were multiplatform, but they also state they doubt they would be able to achieve what they're doing with the game on the 360 on the ps3 even if it was ps3 exclusive.
- Ubi also claims the AI is really good and the magazine says the AI for example makes cover out of chairs and tables.
Ouch. There must be something lost in translation there. We all know that the PS3 has a notch more under the hood than the 360, so perhaps they are speaking about workflow or not having much portability if they were coding for the Cell? We're not sure. My Finnish is a little rusty. Six mouthwatering screenshots after the jump
[Update: Higher res images loaded, and this PS3 forum thread suggests that the translation may be misleading. We hope to hear an official statement from Ubi.]

Contest:
of course the game in it's current state won't work on ps3 they would have to rework it.. same goes on any other system...
Ubi is the new EA, make a great franchise then milk it for all it's worth with a new installment every year and run it into the ground.
I remember reading that the AI on the 360 can do more than the AI on the PS3. If that's true, I'm sure it has something to do with floating-point VS general-purpose processing, but what is it?
Why? How do you know? Do we have proof of Sam Fisher dancing down the street?
Also, less like James Bond, IMO. James is more suave AND he shaves.
I gave up on SC games after Pandora Tomorrow got boring. The multiplayer was fun, but single player was meh.
On the topic of 360 vs. PS3 mudslinging,
Having more under the hood isn't always an indicztion of greater power, or game quality, hmm? (Saturn vs. PSX) These are consoles, not computers, and judging stat for stat simply doesn't work in this race.
Remember how the PS2 smashed the Xbox in terms of fill rate? (MGS2 rain scene on PS2 vs. Xbox?)
Also, this game looks shithot. I love the idea of a more savage Sam Fisher. the idea that you can use anything in the environment as a weapon evokes memories of Dead Rising. I know it won't be like that at all, but I can dream.
I find it ironic that the one time Peter Parker ISN'T emo in the movies, that's when everyone calls him emo parker. Thems the brakes I guess.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw Fisher and thought "he's got a case of the black symbiote."
From a gamer standpoint, anyone who passes up a specific console will be missing out on some solid Triple A titles. Basically, you'd be fucking yourself over. =)
My strategy, however, is to wait for a significant price drop on the PS3, then go back and play all of those AAA titles (and hopefully grab them out of the bargain bin).
if the AI was so smart it'd know that chairs/tables don't stop bullets.

It was trully a bad translation...
Ooops
here is the link...
You shouldn't belong to a console camp. The PS3 and Wii might be sucking as far as software goes, but then again, so was the 360 last year. Now, the 360 is kicking ass and I am sure PS3 and Wii will catch up soon also.
Or maybe even The Namelessted.
Remember, you won't be using guns, you'll be using IKEA chairs. In fact, if you pick up a pillow you can taunt a guard into a full-fledged pillow fight. To the victor go the spoils.
What's even more retarded is that the game is supposed to reward you for not using force, yet they're implementing all these new fighting moves. What the hell? Am I the only one who still evades enemies in SC games, instead of killing everybody and hiding their body? Double Agent sucked ass, and this is looking pretty bad already. I want a classic Splinter Cell!
Awwwweeee...did sumbody say sumtin bout yo wittle console. LOL, fucking troll. Only posting on the threads that are negative to the PS3.
On topic: I wouldn't be suprised if its a timed exclusive, like the last SC "exclusive" was. Graphics are nice, but I still can't get into this series, or any sneaking game. i HAS GUNZ AnD I'z Likes ta shootz em'!!!!
your completely correct. problem is Sony cant do the seminars by them self, they need other groups to help since the cell was a 3 group project of IBM, toshiba and sony. So in a sense sony is stuck till that happens.
