Kaepora_Gaebora Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 But it's not Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist™ - Upper Echelon Edition I hate to be a doom monger, but I checked that link out and I don't think the Wii U version is the Upper Echelon edition, it doesn't seem to be advertised with the rest of them...any one else verify that?

Tamazoid Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Played Spies vs Mercs at PAX Australia a couple of weeks ago, it single handily sold me on this game. I'm very impressed by Ubisoft at their Wii U support this year. Sure they supported the Wii U at launch but then again they did release games at launch for the 3DS and then proceeded to ignore the platform.

Wii Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Splinter Cell: Blacklist - commercial The pre order bonuses are pathetic for the most part. Goggles and a suit, wait for it, in GOLD. Wow! Is there any guarantee that Wii U owners will get these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dem0- Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've been watching some videos, and the stealth in this is looks awesome, especially the sheer variety of possible methods at your disposal, impressive stuff. I'll admit, the lack of offline co-op is a massive downer for me. Local multiplayer is ALWAYS a priority in our house, and my brother wants to join me in this too. Online co-op with friends/family/NE will no doubt be great, but I know how much more time we'll spend on local multiplayer. Disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 IGN have given, the PC version at least, a 9.2 Plenty of positives, the only negative they list..? Dated graphics... Oh come on! They're not exactly bad are they?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Here's the review... The screen tearing looks terrible, but other than that, looks like it's a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Great review. Some questions though. Will the extra power of the Wii U remove the screen tearing and will the graphics look better? Is there any modes or features missing from the Wii U version? I say that because it seems like so many of the 3rd party games are missing features on the Wii U. I really liked Chaos Theory though I never did quite finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 If they reviewed the PC version then would there even be any extra power in the Wii U? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Will the extra power of the Wii U remove the screen tearing and will the graphics look better? Is there any modes or features missing from the Wii U version? No screen tearing apparently, but the frame rate stutters at times. Local co-op/multiplayer is missing.

Missing Local co-op/multiplayer, another game that won't be getting my €50 so. Seriously what is up with all the Wii U versions of 3rd party games being gimped in one way or another?

bryanee Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Is screen tearing something that can be patched? Yeah. Darksiders 1 got a patch on the 360 that sorted out the screen tearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only local multiplayer that's dropped, not online! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Who actually cares about local play anyway? I cant imagine my mates who I knock about with in Sheffield could give two fucks about playing this with me on the Wii U anyway. Its all about Fifa sundays on the xbox360!

Blade Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Got an email from Shopto confirming that it has been shipped. Providing Royal Mail doesnt piss about I should receive it by release day. Are people still getting it? Ive never played a Splinter Cell before and enjoyed playing through MGS Twin Snakes on the GC so im looking forward to this.
