Ubisoft first quarter financials released, Splinter Cell pushed back until 2009/2010 fiscal year

While I was skeptical at first years ago when the series first came out, as I figured Splinter Cell to be a clone of the Metal Gear franchise, I quickly joined in on the fun and have been addicted ever since. The first Xbox Live game I ever played was Pandora Tomorrow and I still consider the epitome of the series to be Chaos Theory, as it was the last entry to use the original version of the multiplayer and had a whirlwind story worthy of the series' namesake.

So it was quite upsetting to read that Splinter Cell Conviction has been pushed back AGAIN. While this news coincides with rumors that the game is being revamped in the wake of Assassin's Creed's success and the possibility that Michael Ironside (voice of Sam Fisher) has been removed from the project leads me to believe that the game will be radically different from what it is even in its E3 2007 revisioning. I just hope that the game is released sometime within this decade unlike certain other titles...
