With the recent re-configuration of Splinter Cell: Conviction, Ubisoft needed more time to make things prefect. According to Ubisoft’s Production Manager, they gave it time by using Assassin’s Creed as a way to make money, and to continue with the games development.

“Because actually we felt that the game wasn’t well received [at Ubidays] and some of the critics were actually saying that we were missing the gameplay, when we started having maybe a bit of trouble bringing back the core gameplay, and we saw the success that Assassin’s was going to have, Ubisoft made the decision to say, ‘look guys, take the time you need to do this game, we’ve got someone bringing in the money for the next year so we’re okay, we won’t ship a game that’s not good, so go ahead and take the time to do it’,” said Andréane Meunier to Eurogamer.

“That took the pressure off us and allowed us to rework the core values that we wanted to bring out,” he continued.

Ubisoft has announced that one of their featured game, Splinter Cell: Conviction, has been delayed for another time this year. You could have seen this coming from a mile away, after the game wasn’t shown at Ubidays or E3 you start to think that somethings up. This delay means that Sam Fisher will be staying in the shadows for some time, but will be out hopefully sometime between April 1, 2009 and March 30, 2010.

Today, Ubisoft released as a part of Ubidays a new trailer for there upcoming Prince of Persia game, the trailers provide a glimpse of the game wich would be coming onto the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this holiday season.

Ubisoft has just finished the opening day of the Ubidays conference and the has not been a single word about Splinter Cell Conviction. The evidence does suggests that Ubisoft planned to show the game during the event. The Ubidays event was the ideal time to slip in a few words on the upcoming Splinter Cell. Could this mean that the rumors going around happen to be real?

Heres a good question Ubisoft, Wheres Sam?

Looks like good things are coming out of Ubidays 08 this year because today Ubisoft finally announced Beyond Good & Evil 2. In the trailer you find Jade, the main character, sitting on top of a car and the pig is sleeping the under the sun by a tree. There was no other details given about the game at this time.
