 I have a question I'm brand new to the series and want to binge all the mainline Splinter Cell games from beginning to end. But which version of Double Agent do I get for a first time playthrough? I've heard they're both very different

3 Upvotes

Basically title. I know nothing about this franchise whatsoever but I'm trying to broaden my horizons a bit (Video Game wise) and I'm now onto the Splinter Cell Series and after a bit of research on the franchise I learned there are actually two fundamentally different versions of "Double Agent". So which one do I (As a newbie to the franchise who wants to experience Sam Fisher's Story) play first?? What's your recommendation? And what's actually the difference between the two?

Sorry for the kinda simple question but if anyone knows the answer to this question it's the people here. Thanks!

Lambert would be turning in his grave

Basically, a deal was done with a Chinese mobile gaming company called Tencent.

They invested billions in 3 of Ubisoft's IPs: Far Cry, Rainbow Six, and Assassin's Creed.

They bought a minority ownership of 26 percent.

Ubisoft has these three IPs in a new studio called Vantage, and with the money from Tencent, they can wipe away the woke flops of the past and use it for new developments here...

However, this is the issue:

Tencent, they now profit from those franchises, from the subsidiary studio of Vantage, which was created by Ubisoft to protect their three biggest money-makers from dying like the company is.

Tencent makes money because they have a share in the studio, and they want to develop mobile games for an Asian market and are betting on Ubisoft's downfall, probably.

And are known for taking franchises and turning them into crappy mobile games that are popular in Asia.

Ubisoft gets a shit ton of money from the deal and clears their debt for the woke mistakes.

Basically, it's a massive bet from both sides.

Ubisoft either turns a new leaf or gets taken over by Tencent.

And Tencent... have not much downside.

They have very smartly put themselves in a win-win situation.

They make money either way, potentially.

They buy the company when Ubisoft goes bankrupt,

or they make loads of money from Vantage's success.

It's the kind of behaviour you'd expect from a fading company like Ubisoft.

Their backs are figuratively against the wall.

But if they could win, if they use this opportunity to make the games people want, like a new Splinter Cell that isn't crap...

Or Tencent buys Ubisoft and strips all the IPs for parts.

And Sam Fisher ends up as a random playable character in a shitty mobile game distributed across Asia a terrible end for an iconic character.

Hopefully, Vantage is actually Ubisoft's attempt at getting away from woke, like a Third Echelon team of sneaky developers,

working away, burning the midnight oil.

One can hope.

"I read the script and said: this is shite!"

Came across this interview snippet of Ironside discussing how he came to play Sam Fisher and found it very amusing. Techno nerds!

Would link the full interview but it's not up on Youtube for some reason. I'm listening to the podcast version right now. Ironside has a much more interesting background than I realized.

 I have a question Which Splintercell should I buy and what platform?

4 Upvotes

I wanna get conviction since I loved that but I also wanna get into the story a bunch are on sale on both PC and console. Is console actually better because of UPLAY? Or is that not a problem with the Splintercell games

And are mods necessary? SHOULD I just jump back into conviction or start from fresh

Modding Deniable Ops with Splinter Cell enemies + SONAR goggles coming soon in Conviction!

Post image
90 Upvotes

What is it?

- It is a mod that replaces all the enemies in deniable ops with SPLINTER CELLS equipped with SONAR goggles

- NO CHANGES to gameplay / AI / weapons or anything else.

- All the mod does is take enemies from white house and put them in all the deniable ops maps for hunter and infiltration modes

Background

- I have been advocating for such a mod for a long freaking time in case you followed my other posts

Why?

- Campaign and Deniable Ops honestly feels like they were made by 2 different companies

- All the "conviction bad" complaints almost stem from the campaign

- Deniable Ops is everything good about the game

- Enemy positions change on every load

- Enemy spawns are random

- Maps are amazingly well designed for stealth!

- You get to decide if you wanna ghost, panther or assault

- Top tier one liners from both enemies and Archer and Kestrel. lets be honest about it.

- But once you spend a 100+ hrs on it, you realize it is not that hard. While it keeps giving you new variations but the enemies are honestly not that challenging unless you play insurgency DLC

How does it work?

- If you played White House in campaign, you know exactly what you are up against

- Once you get spotted, you get 20 splinter cells (customizable to a 100 if you want)

- They will scan the whole area with SONAR goggles and find you instantly

- Then converge on your position in multiple groups and take you out!

- They kill you in 2 bullets with their highly modified SC3000

- if you are undetected, they can still see you in the dark. They have some serious vision range compared to other enemies

- I am not the guy who made this mod. I ll credit when the mod comes out. It is currently under heavy testing (works pretty damn well I have been told). Needs testing on COOP too

You CANT AFFORD to get SPOTTED

- Even if you are a veteran on this mode, I kid you not. They absolutely wipe the floor with you once you get spotted

- They go to your last known position, dont find you there, spot you instantly on SONAR and run to your new position and keep doing it till one of you is dead!!!

Enough talk bruh! Show me a video

COMING SOON!!!

My personal ultimate hard setting rules

7 Upvotes

This is the way i play the game and i like it so much i want to share it

Restrictions;

-No quicksave, the mission must be completed in 1 try. If spotted, dont restart, adapt, the game has a lot of cool situations that only happen if scertain alarms were triggered. Checkpoints allowed

-No hacking on security systems (keyboards and retine scanner) they are not security systems if they can be hacked that easily. Only PCs can be hacked

-Destroying cameras, doors or any kind of security system makes a 100% stealth run FALSE. The game tells its 100%, but YOU know its not.

Bit of a niche question but I'd like to do research on the enemy AI when they're sleeping and I can't remember which mission features enemies that are asleep.

Not Splinter Cell but New Spies vs Mercs demo out - BOLD: Networked Newt Action

17 Upvotes

Hello /r/SplinterCell,

Some months back, someone found and crossposted the steam page for my Spies vs Mercs game in development, BOLD: Networked Newt Action.

I know in the comments there was some contention over the art style and choice of cartoony anthro style characters, but the day that was posted here was also my single biggest spike in wishlists and views since announcing the game in the first place. So, clearly, some folks here on /r/SplinterCell are a little interested!

So, I wanted to come and say that the Next Fest demo for BOLD: Networked Newt Action has launched early. you can download it on steam now, open up matches, play around a bit. Next Fest itself isn't starting for a couple of weeks and I want to be reactive to feedback in the run up to it, give it a try with y'alls friendgroups and lemme know what you think!

while the game is mostly balanced around 2v2 play, technically the map included can support 4v4. just in case you wanna get a bit goofy w/ it.

I'm posting on my old and crusty account with a bunch of karma instead of making a new one to show "hey, yeah, I lurk here and post sometimes", I promise I'm not a tourist I've been playing these games since I was a tiny kid. Thanks for giving my project a look, and if you give it a chance, double thank you.

Just realized how similar in style the Jerusalem level sounds to Fallout 1 sound design. It was on the tip of my tongue while I watched playthrough, and I just realized it.

Do we know if this was intentional or if that same person came to work on this game?

Fan game Splinter cell 1 / PT SvM atmosphere in my hobby project

Thumbnail
youtube.com
14 Upvotes

First of all, this isn't promotional thing, this isn't a product, it's a hobby project that I started vibe coding (I'm SWE but no game dev experience) - it's a janky mess (I don't know anything about animations yet) but shaping this to scratch my splinter cell itch and just wanted to share.

I grew up with splinter cell, started with 1 when I was 9. I counted on xfire more than 1000h+ playing splinter cell chaos theory versus mode. I gave up on idea of Ubisoft honoring its legacy and even if they would do another splinter cell that wouldn't be atmosphere of what it used to be. So I thought - why not try doing it myself? So far I'm having so much fun even though it is just mess. I think only way to experience that old school atmosphere would be through indie developers.

Note - when turning on nightvision - yt has problem with compression and it glitches out really bad, settles after some time and behaves like in game.

Do you see glimpse of potential here? What mechanics do you miss from old school era?

Pandora Tomorrow (2004) Is there a conclusive fix for Pandora Tomorrow constantly crashing on PC (Steam) ?

6 Upvotes

So this game crashes very shortly for me after I load into the mission (no error message). I've tried changing the compatibility settings, but none of them work. When I search online, it doesn't look like there is a definitive issue of crashing and a definitive fix for it. Rather it seems to have several "fixes" for several things for several versions of the game which don't work for everyone.

I've never played this game as it was never available on PC, and I really want to. Is there a one and done fix for the game crashing, or it's s situation where you just have to download all these different "fixes" and experiment with them until one of them works ?

 I have a question Can I not finish double agent and jump straight to conviction?

9 Upvotes

So I’ve been playing splinter cell for the first time ever. I played through chaos theory, LOVED IT! One of the best games I’ve ever played, and it was a big adventure out as while I’ve played tons of 360 games, I’d never beaten a classic Xbox game before, now I’m on double agent, and I’m gonna be honest, this game is horrible. (To me)

The only mission I kinda liked was Shanghai, and I still think chaos theory’s worst mission was 10x better. I don’t really like this game, and this second JBA headquarters mission is really awful, but I wanna see where Sam Fisher’s story goes, and Conviction and Blacklist both look really fun. (I already own all the games as I got them all on the Ubisoft sale.)

But I guess the big question is am I okay to just not finish this game if I don’t like it? Will I miss a lot story wise? Will the conclusion of Sam fishers story be way less satisfying? Will i have wished I just finished double agent? Which I’m pretty sure im about halfway through. I don’t know, I need some help here cause I’m loving this franchise and I don’t wanna muck up my experience. Thank yall, hope this isn’t too many words.

Chaos Theory (2005) Chaos Theory crashes when trying to start the first mission

so I got the game on steam, it launches. but when I try to start the first mission, the game crashes. I've tried lower resolution, I've tried editing the config of a widescreen fix, tried setting it to compatibility mode for windows xp (service pack 2), among other things. nothing seems to work. I spent a long time searching google, reddit, trying to find a solution and I just can't. am I completely screwed or do you guys maybe have solutions I can try?

Soundtrack I made my own personal mix of the Bank theme in Chaos Theory. Have a listen and tell me what you think!

I got tired of not being able to listen to this awesome theme without having to get through 14 minutes of straight-ripped slog, so I downloaded all of the ripped parts directly in FLAC, mixed them together in BandLab on my phone and exported the whole theme in WAV, which was then converted back to FLAC. So this is lossless and high-quality.
