So far it's a pretty cool game and definately can't wait until this game drops

It doesn't work for me. I tried both versus, and co op mode. It will say searching for a session for a second, then sit at joining a session forever. I let it sit for 5 minutes and still nothing. I also don't see an option to create a match either. I don't think they would have released a demo that doesn't work.
Mine does that too.
And after 15 minutes of actually being in one, the game started glitching. Every 10 secs or so it would stutter, get hung on a frame for about 2 seconds, and then resume. It wasn't just me either, everyone in the room was having the same problem.

Same thing here.
So.. I played system link... with myself to get a feel for the game.
To me the visuals... look nowhere near next gen to me. Nothing that is really detailed (besides the brick)... or that surprises me here. Splinter Cell has always looked good... and I don't see anything that I should be looking forward to so far... but I hhave only had a chance to look around, not play.

I LOVED the pandora tomorrow / chaos theory multiplayer mode, but this one sucked. The visuals were mostly last gen, the character models were lame (although gay would be a better word...), the spies no longer have a tazer gun, and the hacking just felt really slow...
I still hope the single player is better...

Diving through a glass window was probably the coolest thing I've ever seen done in a game.
But I can tell it's not going to be as good as Chaos Theory. No true co-op =

I wont go into too much detaill... other than to say the full game isnt much better either
Had it about 24/48hours now, done the first couple of levels... it seems to be a bit like saints row with regards to the vsync issues etc... especially when in water.
The graphics arnt much better tho, it has to be said.
I'll have a pla around more tonight and report back

hope that PS3 don't have these vsync issue + plus better anti-alising, cos bye bye 360

IGN just gave this gave a freaking 9.0! I havnt played it yet (full game that is), is it as good as IGN have scored it?

A simple Yes or No will suffice.

MP in Splinter Cells doesnt interest me so I wont bother with the demo, but please tell me it isnt riddled with jaggies like past versions, there is absolutely no excuse for that.
A simple Yes or No will suffice.
I haven't played the demo but I'm in the same boat as you, MP in SC never interested me... but the Solo gameplay was awesome... Graphically unmatched except for the sawtooth edges on all the smooth polys and textures
I'm sure this game will fix that... what with MS requiring 4XMSAA
I know they let a few launch titles slip on their requirements but I doubt they'd do the same this late in the game, especially when comparisons with the Wii and PS3 are on the line.

Man as much as I love the SplinterCell series.
I'm a bit hesitant on this one.
So far the reviews are great but this seems like another Pandora Tomorrow to me. (Not that it was a bad game or anything, but it was more like chopped liver for Chaos Theory)
Double Agent was developed by Ubi Shanghai, all while Ubi Montreal is working on the "real" SplinterCell next gen sequel....
I don't know, I want to buy the game but knowing that the real deal will probably come out within a year is giving me second thoughts.
Maybe I'll wait for a price drop or something....
I totally agree bro. Now that we know SC 5 is on the way and its being built primarily for the 360, Doable Agent seems like another Pandora. A true SC fan will get DA anyways, I will and Im sure I will love it and play thru it 10 times. And hopefully Twisted is right, I just have a bad feeling about jaggies, I cant shake how they were so apparent in the past versions.
Post by: Deftech on October 17, 2006, 03:03:00 PM
They raped the coop, you dont play thru a campaign like Chaos Theory. The new coop is pretty much training for versus. You can add bots that play as mercs or spies.
Hopefully SC 5 gets real Coop back into the mix! Or I will be livid!

Youre on Ohio man, the state of everything boring. You should have time on your hands, enough time to check the net and see the announcement we got weeks ago about Part 5. And why did you think DA would be the last?
The series gets better and better, theres no need to kill it.

yea, ohio sucks unless you live near one of ohio's 2 amusment parks (Kings Island and Cieder point. both which have record breaking roller coasters!) anyways i thought it would be the last because sam is now considered a criminal. i havent played the game yet (demo doesnt count) so i dont know the exact story (i dont like to read much about video games story lines)

The info was leaked a while before the announcement when a file of Ubi unannounced project artwork was accidently posted on the net.

Double Agent = team that made Pandora Tomorrow
SC5 = team that made Chaos Theory

Is this correct?
Double Agent = team that made Pandora Tomorrow
SC5 = team that made Chaos Theory
Didnt team Montreal already lay out plans to Shanghai for double agent? I thought Shanghai was just mostly in charge of the 360 version, freeing up Montreal to do the other versions.
Where as Shanghai did ALL versions of Pandora if Im correct, they also did the MP in Chaos.
Going off memory here so dont explode if I get a few wrong.....
Splinter Cell:
Team Montreal (Xbox and PC versions)
Team Shanghai (Gamecube and PS2 versions)
Pandora Tomorrow:
Team Shanghai did ALL versions while Montreal started on Chaos Theory
Chaos Theory:
Team Montreal did Single player(Shanghai implemented multiplayer on Xbox version)
Double Agent:
Team Montreal (GC, Xbox, PS2, PC versions)
Team Shanghai (360 version) [Speculation: although I think they might have ported from PC version Montreal already made]
Splinter Cell 5:
Team Montreal (either a total 360 exclusive or a timed one) *have probably already begun.
If I made mistakes, Please feel free to correct them

They should work together for all releases as they did with Chaos Theory. Damn that was a good game.
What am I going to do without co-op? That was the coolest thing ever over XBL...

Thank you Deftech. So basically what this means is the Xbox version will be superior to the 360's version.

The xbox version will not be superior, lol
They are all the same game (story line is same, graphics are not obviously), Shanghai wasnt in charge of the entire project. Montreal had it laid out for them, where as for Pandora, Montreal gave Shanghai the green light to do Pandora on their own while they worked on Chaos. Does that make sense?
The 360 version will kick ass no matter which way ya look at it

the retail game has those bugs fixed

This ranks up there with Oblivion, Condemned, DOA4, PG3, and COD2.

Looks like the Xbox 1 one will be better. Storyline is better, and it has co-op. The Spies vs. Spies isn't supposed to be as good as the 360's multiplayer, but I'd much rather have co-op.
