Splinter Cell

NowGamer: Ubisoft has confirmed that a Splinter Cell HD Trilogy is headed to the PS3...

As you're probably aware Splinter Cell: Conviction didn't start life as the game you'll see on shelves today. Those of you who liked the look of Conviction in its infancy needn't worry though, some of the original features might see their way into the series yet. Ubisoft's Patrick Redding and Maxime Beland told Xbox World 360 that many of the things Ubisoft was forced to leave on the cutting room floor may now make their way into Splinter Cell 6 - as well as other new features, including Uncharted 2-style 'abduction moves'.

TVGB: Clint Hocking, creative director at Ubisoft, considers the original Splinter Cell to be a big under-delivery.

Split-screen: Remember that Splinter Cell movie from Paramount Pictures? The project was put on hold after transferring over to Dreamworks and then Viacom, Paramount's parent company, purchased Dreamworks further adding to the muddle. The Splinter Cell movie script, like all things magical, is already available for public viewing on the net but an interesting detail to crop up: This text was penned not by series scriptwriter J.T. Perry but none other than Stuart Beattie. Yes, the same Beattie who's a part of the weapon of mass mindf**k G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
