That would depend on the Multiplayer modes of the game to be honest (not that you cant play multu on the PC). There hasnt been much info on MP yet so may be you should wait a bit.

I think I might go for the 360 one, as I liked playing AC (which is kinda like AC with stealth etc). cause with a controller you can control the pace, as with pc and keyboard you can't.

I always get the cheaper and better version if the port is good.

You can probably just plug in 360 controller and play with the same setting as 360 version. At least many new games have that option. You did control movement speed with mouse scroll on earlier Splinter Cell games.

You can use a controller on PC ya know.

Since you said you had a good PC, that would be the obvious platform to buy the game. And you can buy it way cheaper than on consoles for PC.

I recently got myself a new pc, and my roommate has the usb thinger that lets you use a wireless 360 controller on a pc, but I still have to get this for the 360. Those achievement points have ruined me. Plus, if there's Spies vs Mercs, I'll want to play it with my friends...who would all be playing it on their 360s.

I mentioned Mutliplayer as a factor in the decision process between PC/360 versions of splinter cell (read my above post) and I think Grift was directing that MP comment at me. You know Grift likes to tease ;)

I problem with the first game was that there was no substance or significance to the fun.

Sure you could run, jump, throw things and do all sorts of other out there things in the game world, but what about doing something that actually makes the player care about what it is they're doing?

How about putting some kind of story or dialogue in there. How about giving the bad guys some more personality to actually make them feel like they are worth killing. Do something with the presentation if you still want the bosses to be jokes once we actually fight them.

A little.. but if people actually play it on the PC, I'd much rather play it there too.. so I wasn't entirely taking a piss. I'd rather have more solid FPS controls for the Mercs side and all the other goodies that come along with multiplayer on the PC.

@Ronsauce: I've never really understood that stuff personally. It's sort of like progression in FPS games. I don't play those games to level up or achieve stuff, I just keep coming back because they're fun.

Well, I sorta understand I guess.. because I'm actually really loving the achievements in Team Fortress 2 on Steam. There are some that I do appreciate on the 360 as well.. but on the whole I don't really think most games have achievements worth collecting.

Yeah, I don't even know what the deal is with them. It's just satisfying seeing that little notification pop up telling me I got one.

Is there a reason for this not coming out for the Playstation 3 aswell? It made sense at some point because it seemed like a less ambitious project than some of Ubis multiplatform stuff, but now it's just really weird.

It seemed like a less ambitious project.. than what? Prince of Persia? Assassin's Creed? I'm pretty sure it's an Xbox exclusive (for the time being) because Microsoft worked hard to make it one.. Sam Fisher was always an Xbox icon, despite his non-exclusive and non-first party roots.

Who knows if it will stay there though.

That couldnt be further from the truth. The Splinter Cell games sell WAY better than most if not all Ubi franchises. MS pursued the exclusivity for sure.

@ Grift

Than Ubi's other titles in general yeah.

I agree that the series only real presence was on Xbox due to the technical prowess of the system, but that in itself kinda clashes with the idea that MS would even need to secure it as an exclusive. It also strikes me as a decidedly niched title that isn't gonna make someone buy the one or the other.

I really just don't.. quite.. get it. It's as if they said once that it'd be on Xbox only because it would coinicide with AC that had a broader appeal on both, and now they standing by that even though this could clearly be a breakout hit on the PS3 aswell.

I guess if MS has gone in and paid to keep it on Xbox it all makes sense, but I don't think that in itself makes sense. Ah well. :)

Really? I did not know that. I thought for sure the Rainbow Six/GRAW/AC stuff was much more successful.

Yea I don't think Splinter Cell is a niche title at all.. I'm not entirely sure what Tom Clancy property has moved the most units, but I'm pretty sure Splinter Cell has always been pretty popular on the Xbox.

YUP. check this page out

there are 4 Splinter Cell Titles. They all sold 19 Million units combined. I even believe that figure doesnt include Double Agent (the 4th title) but even assuming that, this puts each iteration at 5 million. This figure tremps Beyond Good and Evil, Prince of Persia, ghost Recon and Rainbow Six.

PS. all Ghost Recon Titles sold 17 Million combined. Rainbow Six sold 21 million combined but 5/6 titles were released from the franchise.
