Splinter Cell Conviction could hit retail this Christmas photo

Duke Nukem Forever Splinter Cell: Conviction has been delayed. A lot. But it’s possible that Ubisoft has finally cracked whatever problems they’ve been having with the eternally upcoming sequel. A blurb in their 2008-2009 fiscal report mentions that Conviction -- among several other titles -- could be headed to consoles as early as this Christmas.

“In 2008-09, we also continued to invest heavily in Ubisoft’s future potential, hiring some 1,300 talents for our studios with a view to driving the Company’s expansion, further strengthening our franchises and preparing for the next generation of handheld as well as home consoles.”

“The results of these [expansion] efforts will be seen as early as this Christmas with one of the industry's most ambitious games line-ups which will include Assassin's Creed 2, James Cameron's Avatar, Splinter Cell Conviction, Rabbids Go Home and Red Steel 2.”

Watching Conviction slide off our radar was painful. We’re glad you’re back, Mr. Fisher, but you really need to knock off that whole emo thing you’re rocking right now. Put on some goggles, man.

The caption for the picture says "PS3", so has this game officially gone multiplat? Because last statement I read from Ubisoft, they said it's still 360 exclusive.

I would go as far as to say bring back the goggles or no sale...Its like If Solid Snake didnt get a cardboard box...

I skipped on Double Agent for that reason...

I didn't mind where they were taking the series with conviction, but almost everyone else did. whatever they come up with you can bet it will be awesome, goggles or not.

Its ubisoft, I'd be surprised if they kept it exclusive. I'm also surprised at the PS3 mention when its likely the PS3 release will arrive much later owing to the fact it'll be probably be a 360 timed exclusive.

I've never liked Splinter Cell before, but I was actually looking forward to this one for a fucking LONG time...


Glad to see it hasn't become vaporware.

I guess I might as well pick up Double Agent sometime soon to prepare for this. I'd like to get back into the series, Chaos Theory was definitely one of the best videogames i'd ever played, i'm hoping the new one can live up to that standard.

Still, boo at the lack of Michael Ironside. He really made that character. :(

1300 talents? Cripes, that's a lot of people to hire just for a video game.

If the above screenshot is anything to go by, it's gonna be a plot ripped straight off of the Bourne movies. That's not a bad thing - I like the idea that you're snooping around unarmed and you have to smash the other dude down with whatever's the hand. Like a pen, right in his hand.

Second, aside from the general shape and spiral pattern of the two disks, most scholars consider that the the lettering on the Phaistos disk is to be read starting at the parallel spot and in the same direction as the writing on the Magliano disk.
