What happened to the "Conviction uses AI mechanics that can't be done on the Cell processor" talk from 2 years ago? :)

@Sexualchocolate
Seeing as both the PS3 and 360 can handle CryEngine 3, I don't think we've seen the best out of either console yet.

Lawl loyalty.. Loyalty to a console is just restricting your entertainment.

I could swear the HDDVD drive was a jumpy little sod when used on a 1080p television, it wouldn't surprise me if this blubox has similiar issues (making 1080i preferable).

At least, going by current trends, this will be released in black.

£50 for a Bluray drive for PC, I know what I prefer.

I don't know why they'd keep a previously multiplatform game exclusive. That's really just shooting yourself in the foot. And I love this quote:

"A) it's traditionally a Microsoft platform game"
Meanwhile Splinter Cell Essentials is a PSP exclusive...

@ Sexualchocolate
You pirate games. You can't protect your wallet a little bit better than that, anyway.

The "traditionally" line gets me too, as all the previous entries have had shared releases. However, I'd be interested to see the numbers breakdown of units sold against the two platforms - that may have had a heavy hand in it, or maybe MS just wants to pay a shitload of money to keep it exclusive for a minute.

Didn't we get this same message about Mass Effect like the other day? And I hardly think that's going to switch.

@ Everyday Legend - "You pirate games. You can't protect your wallet a little bit better than that, anyway."

I pirated a game for a borrowed console, one borrowed DS one pirated game. I spend a huge amount of my income on gaming, but i'll not go out and buy a game for a console that i'm only borrowing for a week.

Show me somewhere that does rental DS games and I'll go rent it.

If anything my DS borrowing/pirating session has been nothing more than a good advert as i'm tempted by the DSi now, would have never considered it before.

I buy 2-3 games a month, usually brand new, and have a selection of consoles, all legit, no homebrew/pirating or anything. I have a PSP1000 with current Firmware FFS.

MW2 I may download, but only to seed, not to play, PS3's not so hot at pirating and my laptop won't run it for shit!

So uh, no I don't pirate games, music, sure, I've not bought a CD since the 90's, but games i buy plenty.

So uh, yeah. Just thought i needed to defend myself there.

oy vey.... it's "MGS4 coming to 360" all over again and again. first mass effect 2 and now splinter cell

This is all preparation for the inevitable port of Halo 3. And then Mario.

Soon, even Sonic will be on PS3...oh wait, nevermind.

Be cool if they did make a PS3 version.
