PC - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction - Splinter Cell Conviction to feature in-game advertising during torture scenes Imagine this: you're playing one of Splinter Cell Conviction's many "choose your own torture" sequences, as described by Ubisoft's Jeffrey Dickstein. As you're slamming a terrorist's face into a urinal, you might ask yourself, "is this the new Degree deodorant I should buy?" (Seriously, these are his words.)

This is actually the pitch Ubisoft delivered at Microsoft Advertising's Gaming Upfront presentation in New York this evening. In-game advertising is rapidly growing, but has typically been relegated to sports and racing games. Splinter Cell Conviction breaks convention by being neither. Expect both static and video ads to appear throughout the environment -- including during the game's lengthy torture sequences. Perhaps they should take it one step further: Sam Fisher should grab a Coca-Cola bottle, smash it, and use the broken glass to kill a guy. Talk about refreshing!

PC - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction - Ubi: SC Conviction will be 'worth the wait' Ubisoft has told fans that Splinter Cell: Conviction, recently delayed from this year to next year, "will be a better game in February than any time earlier".

Speaking to VideoGamer.com earlier this week following a screening of Assassin's Creed: Lineage, the short film produced by Ubisoft to coincide with the launch of Assassin's Creed 2, Ubisoft Montreal and Toronto chief Yannis Mallat, said Conviction's delay was about adding polish.

"The level of polish that we are achieving as we speak is definitely worth the wait. You know Ubisoft is committed to quality. We apply that to all our games. Splinter Cell is not excluded from that."

PC - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction - Splinter Cell: Conviction story focus helped shape gameplay elements When it was first released in 2002, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell focused on the military operations of the fictitious government organization, Third Echelon. Since 2006's Splinter Cell: Double Agent, the story of the franchise has shifted from the overall mission objectives to the character of Sam Fisher himself.

During a one-on-one interview with Ubisoft producer Alexandre Parizeau during E3 2009, Joystiq asked why the franchise has shifted focus to the character of Sam. According to Parizeau the answer is simple, after dealing with so much trauma throughout the series, Ubisoft Montreal wanted players to see how Sam's methods have evolved, which led to shaping Conviction's dynamic and offensive stealth gameplay. "He's not going to be the same person when he reacts to situations as he was when he was working for Third Echelon. It's a completely different scenario," Parizeau told Joystiq.

PC - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction - Conviction producer says players shouldn't fear the new 'Mark and Execute' feature Ubisoft Montreal producer Alexandre Parizeau told Joystiq that gamers should not fear Splinter Cell: Conviction's new 'Mark and Execute' feature. Since first showing off the feature during Microsoft's Pre-E3 media briefing, Parizeau says some gamers fear the game will become too easy. "Have no fear at all," Parizeau told Joystiq during a one-on-one interview during E3 2009. "It's an added tool that lets you do the first step when storming a room or area or a situation. But you'll have all the tools that you used to use as well."

PC - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction - Primotech at E3 2009: Splinter Cell Conviction Confirmed to Have Multiplayer During a private demonstration at E3 2009 this evening, Splinter Cell Conviction associate producer Jean-Francois Poirer confirmed to Primotech that the newest entry in the series will have a multiplayer component. Poirer was not able to confirm any further details on what that might entail.

Multiplayer in Splinter Cell debuted with the second game, Pandora Tomorrow, and continued through the two following titles, Chaos Theory and Double Agent. Because Ubisoft refers to Conviction as a "redefinition of the series," and given the extended and troubled development of the title, the inclusion of multiplayer was not a certainty.
