Ubisoft confirms that Splinter Cell: Conviction has been put back until April 1st 2009 at the earliest...
After continued speculation in recent months, Ubisoft has today confirmed that Sam Fisher's fifth outing in the Xbox 360 exclusive, Splinter Cell: Conviction, has been delayed until the publisher's 2009/2010 fiscal year, which begins on April Fool's Day 2009.
News of the delay, spun by Ubisoft as a means to 'bolster' next year's line up, comes after the game's absence from its publishing schedules.
More optimistically, Ubisoft has revealed that its opening quarter performance in the 2008/09 fiscal year has seen sales rise year-on-year by over 25%, to 169 million Euros. The figure, which smashes through earlier expectations of 154 million Euros, has been attributed by the continued performance of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Assassin's Creed (both of which saw PC releases in the last three months), together with Ubi's Games for Everyone label, and first quarter releases such as Haze.
The forecast for the second quarter, which lasts until September 30th, also puts Ubisoft on a solid footing for strong growth, with expectations of 26% increase in sales compared to the same period in 2007. This is based on the quarter's releases, which include Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway and SoulCalibur IV.
The first quarter of the fiscal year has been a busy one for Ubisoft, which has opened two new studios (in Kiev and Sao Paolo), and acquired the visual effects outfit, Hybride Technologies, the company responsible for the VFX on Sin City and 300.

lol your pc was illegal you mean, there are no 8 core cpus unless you on about an intel i7 cpu (dual cpu's on a server motherboard) which is a quad and what ever imaginary cpu you had the most epencive parts on your pc and certainly any games rig would be clocked @ atleast 3.6ghz using either 2 or more graphics cards (for 3D you can only use nvidia cards 9800GT or higher) and more likly to use at least a 300/400 seriese nvidia card with at least 1gb or GDDR5 ram.
you can always spot a bull*****r they just make it so easy to spot, why wont they just come clean and say they bought a budget pc expecting it to be able to play every game especially when they fail to understand what shared memory means on the graphics card lol.

No 3D support and it looks terrible in 3D so back to normal 2D I go. Stupid signs everywhere telling you where to look and go, seriously this game is designed for kids. My PC just rebuilt Unbelievably over the top and this game runs crap (not AMD or ATI). 8 cores at 3000 and a $600 nvidia card, total piece of junk glad I bought it off the black market, illegal copy because it just went in to the bin after about twenty minutes!!

Hahaha....this game is horrible....Playing through the final scene of the coop story and its so laughable that I dont even try and finish the it....I just kill MILLIONS of bad guys...seriously, you can literally kill a million people in this...theres an army of MILLIONS in the parking lot that just continue to storm the area as you masacre them...I guess the idea is that the game makers are trying to force to finish the game the way they want you to...which is contrary to splinter cell...its supposed to be a problem solving game not a linear shooter...but they force you to do stupid things in order to defeat their idiotic missions...like having to sneak past bullet proof badguys, infinity load auto guns that are electronic BUT are impervious to EMP....AK47 Pellet guns...thats right pellet guns...you can unload half a clip at point blank range and the bad guys will lerk a bit and then kill you with one shot....Having fired an AK and an MP5 I can say with certainty, this is the worst gun modelling Ive ever played...its actually hillarious that someone built this game and thought it was COOL...hahaha...terrible from start to finish...Id love to join this army...nothing like having unlimited bodies to storm warehouses and hangars...
Im going for the record....Im going to try and kill one million guys on the last level....just for fun.
Score: Zero out of A MILLION

A good game, but [#@!?] for the name of Splinter Cell... Chaos Theory is still the king of SC games.

@Post 46: Thanks for the heads-up. Infiltration wasn't anywhere to be seen in the review code we received, although it would make sense that Ubisoft is using the mode as a lure to snag sign-ups for U-Play I suppose.

What in the world is this reviewer talking about? Personnally the new presentation style is fresh, looks great, and is something new in what has become a repeat and reuse industry. Also, what difficulty setting did they play on? I'm a vetern of the previous Splinter Cells and I played conviction on realistic. Yes the game has a different pacing but in no why is mark and execute the easy button for the game. I faced many situations were mark and execute wasn't possible because I couldn't get a hand-to-hand take down without being detected by the hordes of AI trying to kill me. Besides what is the difference between mark and execute to take a few guys out versus sitting and the dark and picking guys off with a silenced weapon. Mark and execute just speeds up the process instead of going through the motions to get those 3 headshots. Any skilled player can get those headshots, why not speed things up. Like I said in many cases mark and execute wasn't possible. I give this game a 9 / 10. The pacing was good, the presentation was fresh, the graphics were good, co-op has plenty of options to keep you playing for sometime.

Yo Infiltration is unlocked in UBI's weird U-Play thing you launch from the menu, just a heads up.

@44 Err, unclear. We were definitely told it would be in there at a preview event though. Perhaps Ubisoft has held the mode back for DLC purposes. The publisher has already stated that it intends to provide a lot of DLC for Conviction.

Why did they remove Infiltration?
