When will people learn that most sites just put dates up as placeholders or to encourage pre order sales.
I thought it looked great!

Its not official until its official. You can't go by what online shops say. Wait for Ubisoft to give a release date.
It looks more action orientated, using some funky new system where you place markers on enemies and/or objects and then execute it using some auto-aim system. I'm not sure if thats a good thing. It might work. Its hard to tell until we get to play it.

Indeed, ridiculous how many threads I see on here and PC gaming with stuff like "Is Diablo 3 coming out next month?!?"

What a surprise.
Conviction will end up on the PS3. Theres no such thing as an exclusive these days unless they're 1st party.
I'll be getting this on the PC anyway.

Nothing to do with the exclusitivity. From the videos Ive seen so far the gameplay looks ridiculous. They obviously delayed it after the success of Asassins Creed and copied much of the engine and gameplay mechanics - who needs skill to aim a gun anymore, now at the pres of a button you can headshot an enemy!
Not to mention the stuff you can get away with without the enemy noticing, its as if the AI has gone backwards, perhaps even worse than the first game.
Perhaps it will be a good game, however Chaos theory was one of my top 3 Xbox games and it looks like conviction wont follow suit and is changing sam's image too much.

I've never, ever enjoyed a SC game, do i need to seek counselling? This game however does look interesting, i like the fact it's more action orientated, he still doesn't hold a patch on Snake though! 
Oh and, never believe retailer release dates. I remember when i preordered Final Fantasy XII a day before the retailers 'release date'. A year and a half later i received the game.

Splinter Cell is well intense, well it was anyway, the latest one lost it's charm. The original on the Xbox 1 though was amazing back in the day, I remember being in awe over the lighting effects. Chaos Theory is swell as well.

Loved Chaos Theory best of the lot IMO, this one looks less like a splinter cell game and looks like its taking ideas from rainbow six and AC. Its certainly been taken in a different direction to previous SC games but then again so did MGS4 and look how that turned out. Games some times need a change as this stops them getting stale and the tried and tested gameplay getting boring, this looks like its going to be great even if its not the SC we all know.
I guess its to give more time on the secret PS3 version
