SPLINTER CELL CONVICTION MULTIPLAYER OUT OF SYNC CODE

'In the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and SC Double Agent (Xbox/PS2) we've been able to develop the multiplayer cooperative campaign and the solo campaign over the same version of the code and controls were quite similar,' said Mathieu Ferland. The multi and single player game in Conviction will run on the same engine and have the same controls. If you thought it a bit odd that the multiplayer game felt so different than the single player in Splinter Cell: Double Agent, you weren't alone. For the first time since the original Splinter Cell, the entire game is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal. Ubisoft has reexamined everything about the Splinter Cell franchise, straight down to the way it is being developed. The goal is to deliver packets of gameplay that can be played quickly and repeatedly so as not to force a huge amount of commitment of time onto players. Though each episode will be roughly an hour long, they'll be broken up into stages or segments that can be completed in about 15 minutes.

Any good fugitive eventually has to confront his chasers, which is how Conviction will close out in an 'enemy of the state' series of missions. The heart of the game, roughly 8 episodes long, will be the fugitive experience. The first few episodes will bridge the storyline gap and focus around Sam's return to the NSA. In total, Conviction will feature roughly 15 episodes that will last about an hour each. Some stages will take that 'do anything to survive and get out' mentality, further diversifying the mission design. We saw a lot of Sam Fisher delivering brutal beat downs when the brown stuff hit the fan, but if you've seen The Bourne Identity or The Fugitive you know that running is sometimes the best option for a fugitive. It'll be in the final game, promises Ubisoft Montreal. Grabbing people by the legs and tossing them over a ledge is a start, but imagine handcuffing an enemy to a railing and then pushing him down a staircase. The hand to hand combat is fairly limited right now and tends towards simple boxing and wrestling, but Ubisoft is working on creating a wide range of spectacular finishing moves. A fight became inevitable, and we saw Sam brushing papers off of desks into guards' faces to distract them, using chairs as weapons, tipping over desks to hide behind, and generally kicking ass. As Sam moved through the stage, with only desks and walls to hide him from the prying eyes of guards, the enemy was able to zero in on his location more and more with each hacked server. Security guards wandering the multiple floor stage don't know of Sam's intentions, but they will after the first server gets hacked. The mission was to hack into four servers in an office. The second stage we saw showed an entirely different side to Conviction. and showed off the crowd gameplay as Sam Fisher weaved his way through a busy park to steal a surveillance tape. We were shown two stages in our demo of Conviction.

That doesn't mean every level will focus on crowds. YES NO In our recent Splinter Cell Conviction coverage, we've written a lot about the crowds of the game and how they can be used to keep Sam Fisher's cover intact. This is usually impressive, but is this really changing the core experience if we compare with games developed for previous consoles? Rarely.' Conviction is looking to change that core experience. According to Mathieu Ferland, Senior Producer for Conviction, 'The first game to ship will usually focus on better graphics, or animation, or more detailed characters, or simply on more NPCs to be displayed. Ubisoft Montreal knows that we're beyond the first generation of games for today's hardware. Conviction has been developed with a 'Mature' rating in mind from the get go. A fugitive can't be held back by the ESRB.

Along with the old mechanics went the 'Teen' rating. The shadow based style of stealth was ditched in favor of a more active and improvisational gameplay. More powerful hardware was on the horizon and simply creating the same game again with better looking graphics would not be enough. Rather than looking to further polish a critically acclaimed franchise, the team wanted to make something new. After working exclusively on refining the light and dark stealth gameplay for years, the Ubisoft Montreal Splinter Cell team went back to the drawing board.Р”В¬onviction has been in the makings for two years already with work beginning shortly after Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was finished. In a way, the company is also taking itself out of its comfort zone.

With Splinter Cell Conviction, Ubisoft is taking Sam Fisher out of his comfort zone.
