Does this actually suprise anyone?

Splinter Cell Double Agent locked up until September 2006 "to deliver the highest quality gaming experience."

When the next installment of Ubisoft's Splinter Cell series was announced in December, its projected spring 2006 release date may have left many fans thinking, "Gee, that was fast!" Reality reared its ugly head today, as the publisher has announced that Splinter Cell Double Agent won't make its springtime romp, opting instead for a stealthy September release.

"Ubisoft is extending the launch of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent in order to deliver the highest quality gaming experience," a company representative said in a statement. "The additional development time will allow for a simultaneous worldwide launch on all platforms and will allow Ubisoft's development teams to push the technical boundaries on each platform."

Sam Fisher's next mission will see him infiltrating a terrorist organization from within. Players will straddle the line between good and evil as they complete objectives for both the terrorist cell and the National Security Administration.

Splinter Cell Double Agent is currently being developed for the Xbox 360, Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and the PC. For more information, sneak over to GameSpot's previous coverage.

Ah well. Plenty of other things will tide me over until then.

I fully expected a delay as well, but for some reason delays (no matter how obvious) still make me sad :cry:

I think it more has to do with lack of general hype, rather then lack of quality.

2nd, Not saying they are not great games they are. Each installment gets better looking then the last. I was thinking of getting a 360 soon this being pushed back along with Godfather pretty much keeps my from buying a 360 until summer or later. Their is only 5 games I want for the 360 that are out or coming out before summer this was one of those.

They've released the last two installments in the spring of the past two years, but with the changes that they're making this year, I'm not surprised by the delay. It looks good, though, so I'm anticipating the final release.

I must be the only person that really just doesn't care when games are being released, when they get pushed back, etc.

I really need to get around to playing my copy of the original Splinter Cell. I have a lot of catching up to do.

My only experience with the series was playing Chaos Theory on Live with Scorch, and that was really fun.

:cry:

Oh well, my copy of Chaos Theory is still sealed. :lol:

[Monsta Mack]

Man and I just pre-ordered this with store credit through EBgames. lol.
Well I look forward to it when it comes out. Might be the only game in my hands at September at this rate anyways.

... that's a long ways away.

It'll be worth the wait, of course.

[rabbitt]

I can wait. I have other shit to play anyways.

[anomynous]

I'm disappointed they pushed it back, but now in march ill have ghost recon, far cry, & maybe elder scrolls

[Flying PJ]

That will give me more than enough time to finish Essentials on the PSP.
