It's Splinter Cell Double Agent's turn to get his own private presentation thanks to our friend SnakeX. It's still 100% in french, but you already saw the same level in Leipzig so it shouldn't be an issue.
Looks absolutely fantastic as expected except for...
... the horrid v-sync tearing! Geez, can't the Xbox 360 do a 30 fps game with intricate next-gen graphics without them wobbling about when you move? You either get hi-def last gen graphics that don't tear (e.g. The Godfather) or hi-def next-gen ones that do (e.g. Saint's Row). It's not so bad if you're using a standard definition TV but it looks awful on an LCD HDTV.
Seeing that has made me decide to cancel the Xbox 360 version and order the game for the PC instead, where I've at least got the option to force v-sync. Good job I upgraded my PC recently to an Athlon64 X2 4200+, 2GB of memory and a 512MB GeForce 7900 GT graphics card then!

yeah we want mission impossible type shit, not this tard outdoor desert crap like the flop that was pandora tomorrow. christ just like MGS. each game got worse than the last. GO BACK TO THE ROOTS. deserts suck. okay done.
yeah tearing is a big issue. 360 is pretty weak apperently. not sure why some games can look great with v sync and others cant. lame really. UBI has a level of quality that they aim for, and apparently they couldnt give a fuck about v sync. its sad.
hiya guys just registared now,i had to this is the best site on the net for 360news,i love it.
splinter cell looks amazing.
SNAKEX you are a GOD man,you get your hands on the hottest shit on the net,keep it up dude
you guys on about lcd tvs i have a 40" samsung and every game on the 360 looks absolutly amazing.cant wait for spda and all the rest.
is there a donation section,or is the site run by sponsers?
just wondering as i would love to support the site that offers me everything i ever need
ANd i will get the 360 version,but enough about bragging with hardware like that Dazza wanted,and still he failed to have anyone impressed.
I don't have tearing problem in Oblivion,Graw,Table Tennis and Test drive,but nvm,you're a sonyfanboy so you're actually that dumb that you think you must have tearing if you play aything above "godfather" standard.
Wow you're really dumb,have you seen Gears of war for ex?
Have you seen people playing it?
Talking about it?
Have they mention "Tearing"?
Just because Saints row lacks V-sync doesn't mean other games do or need.
Actually I wasn't bragging at all, just stating that I had a PC that is easily capable of running the game at the same quality as the 360 so it's nice that I have a choice of which version to go for. Plus the PC version is £15 cheaper anyway and will undoubtedly have free multiplayer maps just like Chaos Theory. It makes the decision to buy the PC version that much easier really. Remember I'm not dissing the game at all, I'm sure it'll be as brilliant as all the other games; I'm just expressing my disappointment at the quality of the Xbox 360 version.
@WarofPain - Saint's Row looks fantastic on my HDTV too apart from the tearing but then the developers are patching the game and adding a v-sync option for the cutscenes and actual game with a warning that it may impair performance so people can choose whether they want a faster framerate plus tearing or a slower framerate with no tearing. It's a shame that all Xbox 360 games don't have this option.
Tearing didn't particularly bother me on the Xbox or PS2 when I used a standard definition TV but it's so noticeable on HDTVs and, thus, far more annoying. It actually gives me headaches if it's really bad and that's why it bothers me so much.

Guess what? You're a fag.
Guess what? Only a fucking moron would care about v-sync. The fact that the screen is ripping is a good thing. You obviously know nothing about console or computer hardware/graphics and gaming, if you think that a lack thereof vertical syncronization is a bad thing.
Edit: Dazza you suffer from mental retardation. Your graphics card alone is more expensive than a 360. You are obviously losing out if you think that buying a new graphics card every year is the way to go, and BTW YOU FORGOT ABOUT DX10!!!
HAHAHAHA RETARD FORGOT ABOUT DX10! RETARD JUST BOUGHT A NEW GPU WHICH IS DX9 ONLY!! LOL. You pwnt yourself.
Just to clarify with people, you all do know that 60 fps looks better than 30 fps correct? Okay, now if the screen tore at 60fps, would you put a 30fps frame lock on so that the screen wont tear? NO, THATS FUCKING STUPID. It never interferes with gameplay in the first place.
Framerate is key in video games, especially for a realistic feel. I can handle a little tearing.

Ummm.....come again!? I know what`s V-sync or screen tearing but why is it used up on games and end up looking bad!?
umm your opinions are very wrong buddy. the saints row demo ran 60 frames a second in some areas, and with the horrible tearing it made it look worse than any NORMAL game that runs at 30 with v sync on. (of course they finally listened to me and put a 30 framerate limiter on it, but they werent good enough to turn on v sync however.) seriously man youre an idiot. youre making yourself look like a fool to everyone here. no one cares about your opinion because not everyone shares it.
a normal game like halo runs a lot better than another game with no v sync on. so shut up already. tearing is a big issue for people with a set of functioning eyes. thanks to fools like yourself, we will continue to see UBI churning out game after game with tearing.
