Splinter cell 1 or Chaos theory or both IIRC had issues with graphics. The Oil rig level where you are sliding along a pipe and then suddenly everything goes black happens in quite a few other places in the game, You gotta slightly adjust your view when you hit that. Also there was a problem with shaders in Chaos theory where using the latest shader version or something made the night vision completely unusable. It was all just bright white screen. Fortunately, there was an option to run with a previous shader version that fixed the issue.
Also, there are a few glitches in the very first Splinter Cell where doors do not open or a checkpoint does not kick in.
What should have been an entire clusterfucky experience was actually very interesting gameplay. I remember getting a pirated copy when I could not afford it and playing it on a PC on 20 fps which was fucking painful and then got it again on Steam in a PC with a better spec and then every single one of the sequels oh my this is easily on my top 5 Video game series of all time.
@dfdub said in Help me decide between XBOX and PS:
Guys, please stop taking about Splinter Cell. You're only making me sad that the franchise is dead and that there's no suitable replacement.
Be like me and play conviction over and over and over. The world is more open the previous games and if you overlook the fact that Sam Fisher does not look anything like Sam Fisher then it is basically endless fun.
Somebody needs to start a Splinter cell fanboy circlejerk thread around here.
