Ever wonder where legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg (pictured, with friend) gets his inspiration? Gunga Din, Frank Capra and Samuel Fuller, among others. What about beyond that, like game-wise? More » -

Ubisoft Looking To Combine Tom Clancy Franchises Into A "Megagame"
This is real pie-in-the-sky stuff, so remain seated while reading, but here goes: Ubisoft are looking into turning their five Tom Clancy series - Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Endwar and Hawx - into a "megagame". How's that going to work? Here's how. They'll do it in baby steps. For example, in the next Ghost Recon and the next Endwar, they're hoping the missions will be interwoven, a mission in Ghost Recon 3 being given context in the larger conflict by a mission in Endwar 2.

Splinter Cell: Conviction's Visual Direction "Much Better" Now, Thanks
Super agent Sam Fisher's brownest, most grizzled adventure is still alive and kicking. Sure, it's been delayed into 2009, but Splinter Cell: Conviction — or as it's known at Ubisoft corporate Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction — will be "worth the wait" according to community development manager Chris Easton.

Splinter Cell: Conviction Delayed
When Ubisoft didn't show Splinter Cell: Conviction at its last event, people worried a little about how the game might be doing. Fear not — the game's doing great. So great, they say, that Ubisoft just decided it'd be better off releasing it as part of its "2009-2010" lineup instead of in this year's fiscal fourth quarter. You know, to "bolster" next year, as the company said in its fiscal first quarter results statement.

Splinter Cell Conviction Has "Evolved"
So Ubisoft held a big press day last week, and showed off everything the company had up their sleeve, good and bad. Oh, sorry, almost everything. They didn't show Splinter Cell Conviction, which got people talking. Got people worried the game mightn't be in the best of health. Especially since Ubisoft would only say they were "not ready to be more specific" about the title. But it's (probably) OK! The development team have since posted on the game's official boards, saying : More »

What's Ubisoft's Biggest-Selling Franchise?
HINT: It's not Splinter Cell. Not Rainbow Six either. Or Prince of Persia. No, when you look at the list Ubisoft released yesterday, showing the total lifetime sales of its major franchises, you'd best brace yourself for a surprise or two. Because atop the chart, beating out all Ubisoft's current AAA series, is France's favourite limbless platforming hero, Rayman, with 22 million copies sold (they have to be counting the Raving Rabbids games in that). Slightly shocking, no? But wait. That's only surprise #1. Surprise #2? How about Petz games selling more than Prince of Persia titles. More »

British Spies, Found in Videogames
British intelligence agencies—specifically the Government Communications Headquarters—will start recruiting Xbox 360 and PC players of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent through virtual billboards. So what is this organization exactly in charge of? Spy stuff. Cool stuff. Surveillance stuff. According to an agency rep, they are looking for recruits who are:computer-savvy, technologically able, quick thinking...We find increasingly we have to use less conventional means of attracting people . . . to go beyond glossy brochures and milk-round stalls.
In short, they're looking to teabagging specialists. But before you get your hopes up, know that most of what they need are less with the knifey and more with the typey. More »

Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic
Ubisoft Montreal's Assassin's Creed is shipping in November for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, we all know that. What gamers might not know about the medieval adventure is that it will ship with music. True story. There's going to be music and, from what I understand, it will be featured throughout the game, not just a clever title jingle. That music—or "score" as we say in the biz—will be handled by British Academy Award winner Jesper Kyd, pictured above in the boiler room in which he keeps his prey. More »

Splinter Cell Producer Trashes PS3's AI Capabilities
In a recent interview with Gameplayer, one Splinter Cell: Conviction producer "Danny" adamantly declared:It's NEVER gonna come out on the PS3 or the Wii.
Why? The Wii is self-explanatory, but he also said the Xbox 360 handles AI better than the PS3. That seems to be a bit overreaching, and maybe the real answer is that Splinter Cell's software architecture would make it difficult to bring to the PS3. But what do I know? Any real devs in the audience want to clarify for the group? More »

We at Kotaku love NeoGAF. Unfortunately, that love is one hundred percent unrequited, which breaks our rumor posting, Wii loving hearts.

Something FISHERy at Gamespot
Please tell me this is some sort of glitch over on GameSpot and not a sign that they sold out news-space to advertise the latest Splinter Cell. All of the top stories have pics from the Beware Sam Fisher site, but if you click on a link you get an error. Surely GS isn't stupid enough to allow a viral ad campaign to infect their credibility.
