Are you a PS3 owner who is pissed that the Xbox 360 will be getting the first Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC pack before you? Well fret not as we’ve got some great news for you today. Reports have surfaced that say the PS3 will be getting a Splinter Cell Trilogy release that will see some of Tom Clancy’s greatest games repackaged and remade for use with Sony’s new console.

Unfortunately, other than the fact that Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory will make the jump, we don’t have much more information. Luckily, with 2011 right around the corner, that’s all going to change soon enough.

Not too long ago we let you know that the PC version of Splinter Cell: Conviction was getting delayed until April 27th. This led many gamers to ponder whether the delay was regarding Ubisoft’s DRM software. Well, according to Ubisoft, no the delay has not at all been related to DRM:

The reason that has been given for the delay is that the extra time was need to polish and debug the game. The slip has not been linked to the DRM.”

Let’s hope that means the DRM will actually work when the game hits.

After numerous delays, Ubisoft has just announced that Splinter Cell: Conviction has finally gone gold. For those who don’t know, this means the game is completely done being developed and produced and will soon be sent to retailers nation wide.

If, however, you can’t wait until Conviction‘s April 13th release date you can always hop on Xbox Live and download the demo.

Just 3 days ago Ubisoft officially let us know that there would be a Splinter Cell: Conviction demo but didn’t tell us when it would be dropping. Now, reports have surfaced that say the wo demo will be made available this Thursday, March 18th.

Ubisoft has been careful while pciking th eocntent with the demo so that they can tease gamers but not give away too much of the plot. This means they will have both Stealth and action-oriented gameplay elements included in the dmeo.

If, however, you’re waiting for the full game, that’s coming out on April 13th for the Xbox 360 and PC.

Yesterday we let you know that Ubisoft would be releasing a Splinter Cell: Conviction demo next month and now a new trailer from the game has emerged. While this trailer is a decent display of the game’s graphical capabilities, its real purpose is to give the viewer and insight into the plot line behind the title.

The plot sounds pretty interesting but I’m sure I’ll understand it better once I get a chance to dive into it when Splinter Cell: Conviction hits store shelves for the Xbox 360 and PC on February 23rd, 2010.

Ubisoft’s forums are abuzz with talk about the upcoming Splinter Cell: Conviction. People are discussing features, plotlines, whether they enjoy the idea of a character actually aging as games go by (Sam Fisher is in his fifties in this title), the usual sorts of pre-release forum chatter. Ubisoft has started a thread allowing fans to pose questions to the developers, with some of them being answered in the weeks to come.

Of course, one of the first questions posed had to do with whether or not we’d be seeing the game released for PS3 as well as the Xbox 360. Though the Splinter Cell games so far have been exclusive to Microsoft consoles, most third party developers and publishers are putting out their games for any capable system. Most have cited this as a better business practice, so it would seem that Ubisoft could be going down the same path.

Ubisoft has put paid to any rumors about a multiplatform release, citing that Splinter Cell is a ‘true Microsoft exclusive title’. They begin with pointing out that there’s a historical link between the console and the games, saying that the original Splinter Cell was the first game to truly utilize the Xbox’s potential. In response Microsoft was excited about the game and supported it heavily, leading to what they referred to as a “link of heart” between the two. Finally they point out that by focusing on a single console they can devote more time to completely optimizing the game for its single system.

Those anxiously awaiting the release of Splinter Cell: Conviction will be happy to hear that Ubisoft has recently launched a teaser site for the game.

However, they won’t be very happy to hear that the site doesn’t display much infromation other than the above insignia followed by the text: Site currently under investigation. If you have any information on Sam Fisher, please report it here. VOMACOIFINNOCNT.

Hmm, what could that mean? Perhaps some hints at the plot, perhaps some random nonsense who knows. We’ll have to wait until this holiday season when Splinter Cell: Conviction is supposed to hit shelves.

Not able to surprise anyone anymore, Ubisoft has revealed that Assassin’s Creed 2, Splinter Cell Conviction and a new Ghost Recon game, among others, will be released across its next fiscal year, which starts April 1, 2009 and ends March 31, 2010.

The company also delayed the first-person survival game I Am Alive, noting that it “will require further development time and will now bolster the line-up for 2009-10.” It was originally scheduled for release this March.

Ubisoft pointed out that the upcoming time period will see the company deliver seven titles in existing franchises, launch 3 new brands, release four license-based tie-ins and provide additional entries in its line of casual titles.
