If you're still holding out hope for a PS3 release of next year's Splinter Cell: Conviction -- you may want to turn away -- this one's going to sting a bit. The game's producer Alexandre Parizeau recently spoke about the strong partnership between Microsoft and the development house and how it will effect the game.
"There's going to be a really strong partnership with Microsoft," Parizeau said. "Obviously we'll do everything we can to make sure that the experience is indebted with whatever the Xbox has to offer. I want to make sure that when the game hits the shelves the disc will meld with your Xbox 360. It's meant for the Xbox 360 and it will show."
So why is Conviction going exclusive when so many other Ubisoft titles are going multi-platform? "It's really cool to be able to focus technology on one platform to be able to really exploit it to the maximum of its capacity," the producer said. " We've been working with Microsoft for a while now. We've been working with their engineers -- we've had super good feedback from them on all sorts of things. It's beena really good partnership with them. They're backing us up. There's no question that they're supporting the game to its fullest."
