TGS09: "Conviction is meant for the 360, & it will show"

In case you still believed Splinter Cell: Conviction might still come to the PS3, here's the final nail in that coffin.

TGS09: 'Conviction is meant for the 360, & it will show'

Sam Fisher can find anything, except a PS3 version of Conviction.

If you're still holding out hope for a PS3 release of next year's Splinter Cell: Conviction -- you may want to turn away -- this one's going to sting a bit. The game's producer Alexandre Parizeau recently spoke to CVG about the strong partnership between Microsoft and the development house and how it will effect the game.

"There's going to be a really strong partnership with Microsoft," Parizeau said. "Obviously we'll do everything we can to make sure that the experience is indebted with whatever the Xbox has to offer. I want to make sure that when the game hits the shelves the disc will meld with your Xbox 360. It's meant for the Xbox 360 and it will show."

So why is Conviction going exclusive when so many other Ubisoft titles are going multi-platform? "It's really cool to be able to focus technology on one platform to be able to really exploit it to the maximum of its capacity," the producer said. " We've been working with Microsoft for a while now. We've been working with their engineers -- we've had super good feedback from them on all sorts of things. It's been a really good partnership with them. They're backing us up. There's no question that they're supporting the game to its fullest."

In other words- " Microsoft slipped us some money."

I love how the second someone says something good about MS "they were paid"....how pathetic. Sounds like a jealous ex bf type of thing to say.....how gay can ppl be over a console I swear..

So if you want this game you need a 360. A pc version is suppose to come later in the future but right now it's all about the 360.

You make a good point. Personally I would love to see this game on PS3 but I won't be butt-hurt knowing that it won't happen. I'm on some "ah-well,next-game" shit right about now!

It's really sad, that microsoft wants to win the console war by paying the third party developers.

I say prove that what you say is true and I'll support you on it. Until then it just sounds like a business decision to me. It sucks for those wanting it on a system other than 360 or on PC but that's the way it is. With all the games coming out on both systems it really doesn't make much sense to bitch over a few titles. Before you say anything against my words,I own a PS3.
