awesome news, thanks for posting. Im a huge SC fan so day 1 buy for me.

 

[thunder_gamer]

It would be great IF Conviction is coming to PS3.

It is never coming to to ps3. However, soon youll be abe to get a 360 and splinter cell for like 99 bucks lol.

 

[Karkian]

Conviction is a piece of shit compared to Chaos Theory. I'll be picking this up along with the Prince of Persia Trilogy.

Thanks to these collections older established series will get additional revenue to bring new versions that hopefully meet up to the expectations of the originals. $40 ain't bad either. If they can get a 3rd game to fit with LBP & modnation racers for $40 that would be great. Same with killzone, MAG & resistance.

Huge buy for me if they didnt take out the MP.

 

[Uracat]

So this will just be the PS2 versions updated to HD resolution I presume? The xbox versions looked much better as I recall.

Conviction was an okay game, but it doesn't deserve the Splinter Cell title. The first three were all better than Conviction.

 

[MillerTime2523]

Still have them for xbox so I'll probably pass on this. Good news though.

Yep, no multiplayer either.

 

[Amblix]

The only thing I won't like about this is the multiplayer, seemingly because no one will be playing them probably.

Unless there's trophies for them, then I might get a random game.

That's if they even include the dated multi.

 

[Ed_]

There are like four posts before yours saying there will be no MP :lol:

Anyhow, I liked Conviction, it was better than Double Agent IMO. Notice how everyone left DA out? :lol: it's cause it sucked!

 

[Amblix]

I'll keep my hopes up until I get it.

 

[yesiamaplant]

Never followed Splinter Cell but thinking about this set to get me started, but if I recall weren't there four PS2 era games? Why are there only three here?

 

[Masterkyo]

I got both Prince of Persia Trio & Splinter Cell Trio on PS2. No reason to paying $40 each. I may bite it when it drop down $20 or less. It'll be under $15 by Black Friday in 2011 lol

1. God of War 1 & 2 Collection $10
2. Sly Collection $20

 

[Ilikecoldbeverages]

Not sure if this is worth the price really... not when the xbox trilogy can be had for like $8. Also, while the first three are great all around I don't really feel compelled to play any of them except for Chaos Theory again.

Since the topic is bound to stay around, I thought Conviction was pretty awesome. Its definitely not as stealth-centric as the others, but the way people were talking I thought the game was going to be nothing like the other SCs yet there was plenty there for a fan to appreciate.

if people continue to be stingy then sony will have no incentive releasing HD remakes.

i agree , it sucks that there is no multiplayer but for $40 its still a good deal.

Actually, they are porting the PC versions since they were of better quality. No MP does suck, but the collection will still be worth the asking price. These are the best stealth games ever made with a console in mind. (Thief still trumps it, but is considered a PC series).

Can you blame them? A lot of the HD collections released aren't ones people have been most vocal about... I got GoW and will get ICO/SotC on day one. Everything, I'll wait on. The only other one I'd get day one is MGS, if they make one.

 

[Matt Young]

I'm wondering if I should wait to play all the games in order once this comes out. I have a $10 copy of Conviction sitting on my shelf, sealed.

May as well at this point. Conviction has the slickest presentation, but the gameplay in these first three games are superior from what I recall.

I'm not excited about this either

Exactly correct. The first 3 are the best gameplay, and Double Agent last gen can be included with that for the most part. It plays more like a true SC than the next gen version does.

Ah, another treat for me, I love those HD collections. Three platinum trophies, what's to hate? I have every HD collection so far (eh, only three released anyway and PoP is from UK, lol). All I can say is pure awesomeness for $40 (but we all know there will be deals).
