Dan Webb

To conclude today's Splinter Cell: Conviction coverage from the recent UK hands-on event is our chat with the game's Creative Director, Maxime Beland.

Plenty of interesting information being discussed throughout - as usual - where we touch up on the game's delay, why it changed from an 18 to a 15 in the UK, the whole co-op thing, Spies vs. Mercs, achievements (which we exclusively revealed of course!) and so much more.

It's a good 'un! Check it out. You will be quizzed. Seriously...

  • I am ready for this game. I am ready for this demo as well. I NEED SAM IN MY LIFE! Also, I love the black and white gameplay mixed with colored enemies.
  • awesome, cant wait!! i love the coop and achievements. they remind me of rainbow six vegas achievements.
  • Forgot to mention. Rating has been changed from 18 to 15? Seriously? I know they said they didn't change anything they normally would to make the rating change. But...I just hope it's not toned down at all. I want all the blood, all the violence and all the language. I want Sam to be the badass he always is.
  • This game is gonna be great/ and getting the Ghost recon beta is a bonus.....
  • I'm ready for this game and the quiz!
  • OMG Im speechless
  • Serioulsy can this come any sooner...
  • This is looking good!!!
  • who wants to squat atg with me on leg day?
  • Man, I want to play it now!
  • Can't Wait !!!!!!!
  • interesting, cant wait for this game!
  • lol at then end. And I can't wait for the game.
  • Splinter cell convictin shoud be only stealth. Thatss what splinter cell is all about. But action is ok
  • doesnt look as good as previous splinter cells but maybe could be better when i actually plaY IT
  • @15 Cuz it isn't like other Splinter Cells, it's a whole new game. I like it though, I really enjoyed the part where Sam placed the mine, EMPed, killed the guy and popped through the window with M&E
  • I think I just had a nerd-gasm watching that. Thank you.
  • @3 No, PEGI gave it an 18 and BBFC gave it a 15. It's the same game, just with different rating boards.
  • This game might have something that no other Splinter Cell game had (and I have played all of them): A story that shows Sam fight for something personal. He will not be taking orders, he will have no restrictions, he will fight and kill to find the ones who took away the life of his daughter. Can't wait
  • @18 I know its the same game, I'm just saying I wondered why one gave it a lower rating than the other thats all. As long as it comes out to be rated "Mature" instead of "Teen" here, then it's aalllll good.
  • Looks amazing
  • I feel sorry for PS3 owners. Splinter Cell is a Day One title.
  • Co-op will be the first thing i play since it's the prequel to the singleplayer :)
  • @ The Lovat Scout; Haven't all the other Splinter Cell games been PEGI 16's and 12's? I don't ever remember an SC game being an 18 here in the UK. I used to buy and play the others all the time before I was 18.
  • @24 Hmmm, I've played every single splinter cell and i thought they were all rated M here in the US
  • cool. looks an sounds promising
  • Cannot believe how good this game looks. Cannot wait.
  • sweet stormtrooper shirt.
  • Can't wait for this. My friend andI are getting it the same day and are starting out with Co-Op campaign. :D Gonna be fun as hell.
  • I want this game so bad. /:
