It's too bad that you likely cannot play as Fame Douglas in TCSC:3D.

I'm also a big fan of the new 3DS capture device.

So I didn't even know this actually came out until I saw some list of bad 3DS games somehow. I'll just watch this and see if its poo or not.

Mmmm. Chaos Theory. I have fond memories of that game. I would never want to play it on a handheld, though.

Chaos Theory is still the best Splinter Cell IMO.
 
This looks like a shitty port though.

What's up with the sudden rise of 30+ minute QL of months old 3DS games?

I'm certainly not complaining (I fucking love my 3DS), but it's been 3DS mania. Like raising awareness to adopt a sick puppy... In 3D.

With that said, I still have high hopes for Nintendo. There is still a lot of fiscal year left to go.

I don't know what Ryan means by 'the genre has evolved'. This genre didn't evolve, it just died. And I think he is seriously misremembering how SC:CT played/looked.

Also its impossible to see anything in this QL, its so damn dark.

Looks like a miserable experience. Games like these shouldn't be ported to handhelds at all. Playing a dark, largely gray and brown game on a tiny screen with hampered, clumsy controls is a recipe for frustration if I ever saw one.

Oh wow, they ruined the last great Splinter Cell game...! It's been sort of going downhill ever since Chaos Theory, but this is just too much :(
Also, if you wanna play this game, play it on the PC-- I can't speak for any other platforms, but this game is great on the PC.

Evolution doesn't necessarily mean progress. Just ask Stephen Jay Gould. I mean, he's dead. But I'm sure that's something he would have said.

You can blame the changing market for the 3DS' current misfortune, but games like this surely didn't help.

so weird, I know that lighthouse level pretty much by heart, and there's just enough that's the same in this version that I can tell that's what it is, but at the same time there are parts that completely throw me off
