Splinter Cell: Conviction was delayed into April, so that Ubisoft could give it a bit of spit and polish. Watch the video below, courtesy of Joystiq.

]]>Splinter Cell: Conviction's co-op offerings will add an extra 5-6 hours of backstory, giving two players an opportunity to explore together, says Gamespot.
There two modes are called Prologue and Deniable Ops.
]]>Splinter Cell: Conviction has been given not only a six-hour co-op campaign, but some standalone challenges when it ships next year, according to OXM UK.
The co-op mode includes a prologue to the main storyline, which takes place two-months before the main plot, where players will fill the shoes of Daniel Sloane-Suarez (Archer) and Mikhail Loskov (Kestrel).
This campaign details how EMP’s were freed by rogue factions cloaked within Russian Intelligence before the Russian Mafia stepped in.
“They don’t really like each other or trust each other,” said the game's co-op designer, Patrick Redding. "But you’ll hear in their dialogue, moving through the missions, that their trust is slowly building. If Sam Fisher is our panther, then these two guys are like a couple of Velociraptors taking down the herd.
"You are going into this really seedy, gritty underbelly where we can put the whole graphical horsepower of our engine and the Xbox 360 to work giving you the lurid texture of this place.”
The challenge modes, called Third Echelon Missions, are contained in six different maps based on the four levels from the co-operative campaign - two that are mode exclusive. The four revealed so far are: Hunter, Infiltration, Last Stand, and Face Off.
Sounds lovely. Hit the links for the rest, and watch the video below the break, courtesy of IGN. Game's out on PC and 360 in February.
Thanks, The Lost Gamer.
]]>Ve3tro's noticed that the Splinter Cell site's now covered with a Russian message and tomorrow's date.
Apparently, it says this:
]]>The second Splinter Cell Conviction dev diary's after the break, containing new gameplay footage, plot details and a focus on Sam's newly "enraged" combat prowess.
"The biggest difference between the previous Splinter Cells and Conviction lies in the character's combat speed and brutality," said Gilles Monteil, animation director.
"We had to find a martial art that fits the character and the situations he would find himself in."
The team picked Israeli combat system Krav Maga. Think Bourne on killer crack.
"Krav Maga's not a big flashy martial art. He's not going to be doing spinning back kicks, or anything like that," added Steve Masters, lead game designer.
"What he is doing is being extremely efficient in taking people down in a fast, effective manner."
Check it out. It really does look wicked. Conviction releases for PC and 360 on February 26.
