Splinter Cell: Conviction is still alive, supposedly looking better than ever photo

Not even two weeks ago, I was pondering why we hadn't seen any new developments on Splinter Cell: Conviction lately. Last I heard, the game had received multiple delays, was rumored to be getting dropped, and things just weren't looking so hot.

Surprisingly enough, though, the community manager for Conviction, Chris Easton, has recently told Videogaming247 that the game is "certainly not canned."

He continues: "the gameplay’s evolved a lot but the visual direction is simply much better than what you’ve seen." I know there were some complaints in the past related to Conviction's art, so it'll be interesting to see exactly where the team has made adjustments.

Adding even more to the intrigue of this whole situation, Chris goes on to say that when we see Splinter Cell: Conviction again, it will be "worth the wait" ... whenever that may be.

Awesome! For me, Conviction was the Bourne game. Hiding in the open, using everyday items as weapons, fighting against the system; how could it not be? (I like to pretend that The Bourne Conspiracy was an all together unrelated mediocre action game). Can't wait to see what they've been doing all this time...

Well I hope they decided to use the Assassin's Creed engine, that's what I would have done.

I hope they didn't change it too much. I was quite happy with the footage that I'd seen.

Double Agent ruined Splinter Cell completely for me. Not really keen on Splinter Cell anymore. Chaos Theory is where it's at

Christ, the last thing we need is another terrible Splinter Cell game. Another Ubisoft multi-platform release that is going to suck balls, no matter what version you try. I'd like to be proven wrong, as I enjoyed the first two games, but god damn did this series just take a wrong turn somewhere.
