Matt from IGN hinted that the GC version of Splinter Cell will have levels and extras not seen in the Xbox version or even the PS2 version, and also it will have "rocking" graphics. Ubisoft always make good ports.

unique features = GCN-GBA link

Well, I'll give it a hire on GameCube.
This game is a work of art as it is, I recommened this gem to every GameCube owner out there! Liked GoldenEye? You'll love SC.
BTW, while I'm here, I'll just let you all know I won't be here for a week. I'm finally starting work tommorrow (casual), hey, I deserved all those months off after my HSC dammit!
So yeah, catch you all next week. Or, if I'm not dead tired, I might pop on for a bit (Working 12 hour shifts.. Arg)

It is good to see that UbiSoft is going all out and giving each console some nifty extras.

I am curious on whether or not they will actually put the GCN/GBA link up to good use though between the two versions.
I think it's only a matter of time though before Splinter Cell for the X-Box has more levels than Splinter Cell on the PS2 and GCN versions
. Unless of course Ubi Soft suddenly stops creating downloadable content over Live for Splinter Cell... god forbid...One thing is good to hear though, is that Ubi Soft is taking their time to create quality ports. Always good to hear that a developer taking their time and effort.

*Breaks down in tears* Infernal, i will miss you. Good luck on your new job, where are you working?

I will maybe have a stable broadband connection when I open so maybe I will try Xbox Live out. It's not compatible with the one I have at home which ticks me off since PSO works perfectly with it. And Infernal Monkey hopefully you job doesn't involve lots of standing for long periods of time, I would pity you. I have two real bad bruises on my achille's tendon that have been their for over a year and refuse to heal because I have to stand a lot and move on hard floors.

I just hope Ubi doesn't cancel the GCN version at the last minute.

It's not the gameplay, or the graphics, they are all good, and I havent played enough to like or dislike the storyline, it's just I've played the demo at HArvey Norman and cant get past the demo level!
Stupid demo level, only one thing is stopping me from triumph. All the doors are locked

I thought all of the sectors were divided up and no money was exchanged between them. Am I wrong?

A REALLY good port might make me buy it.
Post by: Christberg on February 11, 2003, 08:42:04 AM
I wouldn't necessarily count on the GC version being awesome, but in theory it really could be a very, very nice looking game if they wanted it to be. We'll see.
I'm not buying Splinter Cell until it's on all 3 platforms, and then I'll compare the cost and the extras and determine which version is best. It's a nice luxury that all of us who own all 3 systems can look forward to.
Post by: Hemmorrhoid on February 11, 2003, 09:43:37 AM
that seemingly indicates ubisoft are putting alot of effort into the game
lets see, and dont forget theres still the pc version which will look best anyway
Post by: mrcivic on February 12, 2003, 12:15:01 AM
Now I'm wondering what the GCN-GBA connection will have.
And I've just made a box-art for the GameCube version, which you can check out by clicking my sig.

Eventually, though, you start to learn how to avoid zombies and other bad guys and how to stay alive longer.
Splinter Cell is rather similar. I think part of the fun is that the difficulty is rather high, so it's not just "bust in against all odds and kill everyone in sight," but rather "sneak in against a heavily fortified area and escape without being killed/caught." Worth a rent at least.

I especially like Kingdom Hearts (if only....)

Nice box art....but you brought me down a little....Especially with the PDzero one. *sigh*

And sorry about that PD0 one. I guess now we can only dream...

first pics and a info on the GBA-GCN link
Post by: Christberg on March 11, 2003, 06:35:52 AM
Anyway, IGN also has impressions up of the PS2 version as well, and since I assume all this stuff will be in the GC version it's worth adding to the discussion for sure. Unfortunately you have to be an insider to read it, but you can find that info here.
Sounds like this game is getting an A+ port after all. Maybe I was wrong.

Post by: NickNiteQ93 on March 11, 2003, 03:19:26 PM
Well, I think the game looks very interesting, so I may just give it a try. Other than Wind Walker, I'm not really looking forward to many games. I don't really have much time to play games anymore. Maybe my GC and I are drifting apart. I might have to go seek couciling soon guys.....
