Sam Fisher Wearing Night Vision Goggles

Also, a release date announcement for the next Splinter Cell.

Some might call this the final conclusion of the bet between Vinny and Ryan regarding Sam Fisher's ability to see in the dark in the upcoming Splinter Cell: Conviction.

 This is what a 50 dollar bill looks like.

It even has the potential to settle what could have been a great "double or nothing" bet by showing him rocking one with three lights... or eye sockets... or whatever the hell they call those things that NVGs have.

The shot was yanked from a trailer announcing the game's release date, which is February 23, 2010. That... just to be extra-safe... will be when we can finally put this bet to bed, since the game will be out and absolutely finalized. It's merely a formality, of course. But we might as well drag this out to its official end before Ryan pays up. Here's the trailer:

E3 footage = gold 
this video's footage = pretty much Counter Strike-ish ....

The video is not working and it doesn't work on IGN so its their fault. I do have to say though, that picture looks photoshoped, Sam's arm looks really weird and I can practically see the white pixels from a bad lasso tool job around the goggles. I'm sure their actually in the game, but that picture looks really weird.
 
Its a trap! Run Ryan!

That screenshot looks like a horrible Photoshop job...but it's totally in the trailer.

Ryan said that Sam Fisher wouldn't have night vision goggles, so bet was...like...$50 or something.  Then, when Ryan found out that Sam might have night vision goggles, he said double or nothing to there being three lenses.

Will he concede or is he still hoping against hope that they are removed before the game is released?

Rather than go double or nothing, winner should make a bet with Brad or something.  Vinny or Ryan and Brad in "WHO CAN GROW THE BIGGEST BEARD IN 3 MONTHS?"

Are you uploading the trailer onto here? I feel dirty watching it on IGN.
 
Too bad though Ryan... but I was with Vinny all the way on this one.
