I mean I heard they were basically done with this game, then they started over or something, but I haven't heard anything else. It's been in development for awhile, yet I hear no news.

Anybody know what's up?
Estimated Release Date?

They realized that the concept was stupid (and probably poorly implemented, given Ubisoft's recent track record) and decided to start from scratch. I doubt it'll release before 2010. If it does, don't expect something day-1-worthy.

It has been delayed until fiscal year 2009-10. I would expect to hear something at E3 if not before hand

 The concept of using crowd instead of shadows does not seem stupid to me .

I think he probably just disliked Assassin's Creed.

Swing and a miss. Not even close to what I was talking about.

They ran into some trouble negotiating the Brian Ekberg license.

Brian Ekbergs schedule is busy, his only free day to do Motion Capture is in 2010.

EDIT: Damn it, LordAndrew. You beat me.

Idk, you'd think they'd have the majority of the ideas and character models worked out and they'd have the base of a game to build off of (the scrapped one), is that unlikely that they could release it within 3 years of the projected release date (original was 06 no?)

The real story was that they built everything from scratch, it resembled something like Assassins Creed, the problem was, when Assassins Creed was released it blew the game out of the water. So I believe they've had to start completely from scratch, including the creative process that proceeds a game.

bah, I get ya.

I figured they'd just have to redo some maps and char models.

I wouldn't be surprised if they up'd the engine to the Scimitar Engine (Assassin's Creed engine). They're using Unreal Engine 2 - obviously heavily modded, but still.

What direction is Splinter Cell going to take after Assassin's Creed is a better question.

indeed, I'm not really sure where they'd go.

The ending of the last one could kind of go in alot of directions.

As long as micheal ironside continues to do the voice then ill be happy if not then i wont touch the game.
P.S: micheal ironside not working on it was a rumor.

I hope this iteration of Splinter Cell is better than Double Agent.  That game did not live up to my expectations at all.
