The new title emphasises Sam's unique ability to get in really close to enemies, and with the addition of the new stealth kills, offers you a very different Splinter Cell experience -especially with the addition of a combat knife and some spectacular new moves.
Although you can't use the blade for the actual killing to keep the game's non rating , you can hold it against an enemy's throat before removing it and silently choking them. Also, you can use the knife as a tool to cut ropes and even slice through soft-body materials to give you access to previously inaccessible areas of a level. In another impossibly cool sequence. Sam uses his optical camera to spy into a room occupied by two goons, one standing just the other side of the door.
In a split-second, Sam bashes open the door, knocking one enemy instantly to the ground before taking the remaining guy down with a blast from an extremely powerful shotgun.
Sometimes, in the first Splinter Cell, you were seeing two or three guys in a room and you couldn't do anything. Now you have the choice of being able to kick the door in and shoot everybody.
Of course, this piece of gameplay also nicely demonstrates the game's new ragdoll physics, that according to Dany, proved to be a huge challenge for the development team. You can't just use a straight animation, so we needed to create some special technology.
It's not just about killing someone with a rocket launcher and obliterating them - you have to dispose of the bodies by carrying and hiding them. Other new gizmos include a sniper rifle attachment that can zoom in huge distances and shoot through objects such as wooden planks; and an E-beam, a device that disrupts any electronic equipment.
In the demo, Sam uses this technology to distract a guard watching television by interfering with the signal. Once the poor fool gets out of his chair to investigate the sudden deterioration in picture quality, Sam creeps into the room behind him and deftly snaps his neck like a dry twig.
They may decide not to enter a dark area covered by this non-lethal weapon because they feel unusual -it actually affects their behaviour. All the weapons and gadgets are accessed through 'goggle-vision', a new slick HUD that mimics being inside Sam Fisher's distinctive headwear -further immersing you in the Splinter Cell universe.
As for the new open mission structure, this apparently came about mainly because us fussy PC gamers complained about the fact that missions were quite straightforward, and could be completed by simply causing distractions, using stealth or shooting enough enemies until you made your way past an obstacle. So, for example, if you don't get access to a computer and some badly-needed files, you need to get them on the second map.
If you don't, you're not going to be able to access them on the third map. It'll also be a lot more forgiving with the reasons for mission failures. If you enjoyed the stealthy multiplayer of Pandora Tomorrow, you'll also be chuffed to know that there's now a potentially cracking co-operative mode for two players. This involves you and a friend co-ordinating an infiltration mission against computer-controlled opponents, with brand-new moves exclusive to these levels. In the demo, I watched mesmensed as Dany and a Ubisoft colleague used USB headsets to plan the infiltration of an office building, beginning with one operative giving the other a simple leg-up over a wall and ending with a Mission Impossible-inspired raid on a computer terminal, with one agent lowering the other down on a rope.
You can also use this drop move' to lower your partner on a line, grab an enemy from above and strangle them. If you have the voice system on a headset, it works really well because you can co-ordinate your tactics, creating diversions so, for example, it'll help the other player. But not everyone has this feature, so we've had to work on a way to make the standard communication fun and easy to use, as we definitely have two maps where both olayers are split apart for a while. The Al in Splinter Cell 3's co-op mode appears to be very advanced too.
So, for example, if they think there's just one operative and they see you, they come directly towards you, giving your partner an opportunity to sneak up on them from behind in a Jurassic Park Raptor-stylee. Splinter Cell 3 looks absolutely stunning, fully utilising the latest graphics cards and DX9 routines. New weather effects have rain splashing off Sam's clothes and collecting in puddles see Weather with You', opposite , while soft shadows and silhouettes can be projected onto walls depending on a character's position in relation to a light source.
Reflective surfaces can reveal Sam's whereabouts to enemies, whereas gobsmacking glass diffusion effects give a real impression of being in a real physical space. Sam Fisher himself is much more detailed, so you can now see his muscles, as well as 90 bones for realistic limb movement.
Splinter Cell 3 could be the best Tom Clancy adventure yet, ironing out many of the last two titles' gameplay quirks. What's more, with the addition of ragdoll physics, a new HUD, co-op multiplayer modes, shotgun diplomacy, a brutal door bash, knife-play and sneaky choke kills, there's also a genuine adrenalin kick to the stealth action genre.
The world may be a more dangerous place, but we'll sleep safer in the knowledge that Sam Fisher is out there, watching over us in the darkness with green nightvision goggles Will : With two players who know what they're doing and who know the pitfalls of Ubisoft's frustrating Internet play malarkey.
Splinter Cell co-op can be wonderful. Hanging into a room with your good spy-friend clutching onto your trousers, hurling each other around the room and generously rubbing masculine thighs - it's all brilliant.
Unsettling, but brilliant. We had a few moments of high-level tension when one of us well, me ineptly blundered into direct view of hoodlums and terrorists, but overall this is co-op of the gods. The main problem is simply that I want more maps. Prez : Agreed. Splinter Cell is one of the few games that's looked at the needs of co-op gaming and specifically designed itself around them.
I was less worried about the unintentionally homoerotic overtones, but then I'm a grown-up and mature and that. That said, a close-up of Will's arse is never a good thing What did worry me was the frighteningly high level of expertise shown by some players when I briefly ventured off-message and online making me all the more grateful to get back to the ham-fisted, amateur hour buffoonery displayed by Team ZONE.
Pissing About Potential : Pissing about often ends in alarms being slammed and Fisher getting angry. Best avoided really. Sam Fisher Has saved the world more than a few times now, but we regard his biggest and best adventure so far as last year's Chaos Theory, which saw the superspy stuck in the middle of a massive global information war.
Before Sam gets a new hairdo and goes all bad in Double Agent, we managed to get an audience with series producer Mathieu Ferland right , who gave us the lowdown on the making of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - and more importantly, his attempts at finding girlfriends for two members of the development team Our basic intention for the game was to provide the best quality in every element of its design - those that have real meaning to gamers.
To achieve this, we read a lot of fan forums and conducted research to clarify what elements gamers most appreciated and to discover what content is less popular. From these observations and based on our own instinct, we identified many features to focus on in Chaos Theory, and our mindset and main objective was to include them all so we could make the best Splinter Cell ever.
Implementing this was such a challenge in a game like Splinter Cell because it deeply affected many gameplay elements, and so forced us to think of all possibilities and make things work whatever the player did.
We wanted to improve the general tension in the game based on proximity and provide contextual cool situations to deal with, but also to equip the player with appropriate skills and tools, like Sam's knife and close-combat abilities.
We wanted to provide a real next-gen feeling on current generation hardware. Incredibly complete and fluid variety of moves including athletic moves, stealth moves, stealth kills.
