Splinter Cell: Conviction throws down (literally) in trailer
If you had to see just how much Sam Fisher has changed – and whether it’s agreeable or not – IGN finally put up this gameplay work-in-progress video from Ubisoft of Splinter Cell: Conviction.
And as it is an indicator, yes, Sam has changed. Since when did he beat the crap out of five-odd cops like Jack Bauer after a coffee break? There’s a rather layered combat system implemented here, it seems, apart from the ever-handy “throw a chair at the guy” attack that the new environment dynamic emphasizes.
The question is, is it still Splinter Cell? The only certain answer is that the debates do not end here; that only the game in our hands and the tabulated outcry of Splinter Cell fans the world over will deliver the verdict. One video and these screenshots are not enough.
Screens after the jump.
