Critical Nobody hey bud, I saw this vid in my recommendations, clicked on it and enjoyed it, do you know if the original splinter cell on ps3 HdD version has those xbox exclusive missions.

I never played D A for next gen, but I remember being a kid and thinking sam was uoset about enricas death because she was around his daughters age.

if u are getting the game STAY ABSOLUTELY AWAY from ps3 version like the plague its got less frames than a slideshow and lots of things like the jba rooftop are completely removed.

I really hope the remake has the predator type thermal vision instead of the bright pink radar that blacklist used. Always hurt my eyes. Much preferred the early games blue screen with thermal vision.

Oh! The irony

@@thehood6067 or at least the option to switch between the two I personally don't mind the bright thermal style

Lambert and Fisher’s voice acting were great together. All of Lambert’s “Dammit Fisher / Sam” are engraved in my brain box

Kirschi_ and the original Xbox version is just as good as the Xbox 360 one!

@@brandonjohnson3703 I totally disagree. the version of PS2 seems to me far superior to that of xbox (ignoring the graphics that was not such a great leap) and from the first level if I remember correctly, we could see the villain of the game while in xbox it seemed to be something totally alien to the rest of the game In addition many great things like the introduction of the trust system was omitted by a more permissive one (I miss the guy who hated Washington but was a protected witness and if you killed him or not affected the trust of both organizations). All this without mentioning the lack of the sound meter making the stealth less tactical in my experience. For me, without a doubt, the worst part was that each faction had its own level of confidence in xbox while in ps2 the trust meter is shared and if you gain confidence in one you lose confidence in the other.

A complex game considering the time of release, just like MGS3. I played this game on the PS2, had a good experience, but not something extraordinary. I still think Pandora is the best Splinter Cell, I don't get it the chaos theory love, lol Maybe if I played on a powerful PC at the time, the experience would be better. But honestly, I played CT recently and the gameplay is there, identical to the PS2 version, only the visuals are better. And in 2017, the chaos theory visuals means nothing, let's be honest lol the gameplay remains cool tho, too slow and robotic sometimes, but cool.

tasty rememberberries? Blacklist is the jam highest difficulty terrorist hunt INTENSE

I am full of passiom when playing chaos theory

I can CLEARLY tell? You cannot assume that I clearly tell, that is not identical to what you mean.

My brother and I bonded over chaos theory like never before. It was wonderful

I cant play stealth games with friends any more it just seems no one can do it anymore because i was live streaming metal gear phantom pain in the middle of the base and my friend was watching hes probably only like 12 or 13 and hes like i probably couldnt handle a stealth game since its so tince and thats when i realized omg its been so long since this modern generation had a stealth game kids legit cant handle it, i play alot of stealth games and crack under pressure when in a shoot out but this gen cracks under pressure from stealth its almost like its switched!

Anybody remember Bob and Steve? Good times.

I never understood this, I always found killing to be more fun in these games. I know that sounds kinda psychopath-y, but I think you know what I mean lol. The knife kills and hiding the bodies just made the game more fun imo. I still took all those secret routes, and did 100% stealth in terms of no alarms, but it was so fun taking out targets in Chaos Theory.

Absolutely. I was massively into Tobin before CT came out and I'd made a playlist of his 'sneaky' songs to listen to when I played Pandora Tomorrow. It's like Ubisoft read my mind.

my favorite game from my childhood, fuck, gotta replay it and finish it the day of christmas before going to bed like back then ;-;

El Cargo is still my soundtrack to the word “stealth”. Song is the epitome of sneaking. MGSV helicopter music for days.

I played Chaos Theory without music to make it more immersive, and I highly recommend it

It's my favorite OST of all time! It actually inspired me to learn how to make electronic music, which I did for about a decade after hearing it. And Tobin is still my favorite musician of all time.

I forgot the thanks option even exists

That's incredible, I've never really been drawn to this series although I do remember playing it on Xbox when it first came out. The one that I've played the most (I've played the original, conviction, and the last one) is blacklist. Thought it was a decent game but I never completed it. I don't even remember how, but I have a copy of chaos theory for ps2, so I'm going to give it a shot.

I'm a Metal Gear guy

Beating Chaos Theory 15 times isn't so bad compared to me beating Ratchet and Clank 2 about 50 times. Wish I was kidding, but that game was my drug as a kid

Couldn't agree more. You have to acknowledge someone with Tobin's musical imagination, it truly is a gift. How does he come up with these scores, I have no idea. But he's a genius.

Tobin also did the menu music and White House mission music in Conviction. It really stands out.

+Lionel Hutz Along with a few other tracks, like the one from the end of the airfield mission and the combat music from the Iraq mission right after that.

I got the soundtrack to the game when i brought the game on disc way back when lol and I still have it. All you need to hear is "El Cargo" to know Chaos Theory is the best game in the series

Chaos Theory's soundtrack is simply one of the best ever made. Amon Tobin's eerie, break-beat laden aggressive tracks fit the action well, and the stealth loops felt perfectly like spy material. I was even inspired to make a drum & bass track out of Theme From Battery, one of my favorites. Cheers! soundcloud.com/outrospectre/the-third-echelon

Useless fact of the day - "Axe" body spray is called "Lynx" in England. The copy rights of the product name "Axe" is already owned by another company in England so a different name had to be used in that country.

victortheripper In the original release, AXE had a lot of presence in the game. Billboards and such. Same with a mobile phone carrier that I think no longer exists. Their logo was something like a weird 4-pointed orange blob with a dot/head. AXE even had a neon sign perched a rooftop that you ziplined from to reach an adjacent building. Edit: It was Cingular.

victortheripper I mean, I could have just played that version recently... but, in truth, I haven't. That memory is at least 10 years old. Fuck me.

same lol. I remember seeing nokia and a surge vending machine in the first game, i think in the remastered version they changed it to a coke machine because surge was no longer a company later on.

Don't forget about some Airwaves.

right wtf

I hate HUD. but I can understand that in a game like this, some people would definitely want more than just their actual instincts. It should be an option that can be turned on and off in every game for instance, Uncharted 4 did it perfectly

all other mission in double agent(version1) is in daylight so no need of hud but in the other double agent there are more night mission in version 1 had only 1 night mission with Sam fully equipped

That's what I hated about Double Agent on PS3/360, it had all day missions. The PS2 version was definitely better.

JohnHunt The storyline in PS2 version was still make sense. Enrica put Sam's sanity back after he lost (presume)his daughter but Third Echelon took Enrica out before she could escape with Sam.

Louis Kelemen i don’t know man, DA was the best for me. I kinda get that most people saw as a downgrade from chaos theory since most people played it on ps3 and 360 which was a complete downgrade from the ps2 version. But seriously though that grimy depressed atmosphere was so captivating!

I think blacklist did a great job giving the player the option for both. Of course, you could armor up, play on normal or lower and go guns blazing, but on realistic and perfectionist, its either insanely difficult or straight up the wrong option. I think the "modern" approach blacklist took can be improved on, for sure, but i think that direction is perfectly fine and just as good.
