Splinter Cell - Image 1Sam Fisher is getting old! Whoa, hold it right there. We know all of you Splinter Cells fans just turned into wild-eyed beasts because of that statement. We were just trying to get your attention, that's all. Now that you're listening, here's the real update on Splinter Cell: Double Agent (PS3, X360, Wii).

When it comes to this stealth action game, PS3 fans will soon be the object of jealousy as they're getting something other console owners won't. PlayStation Magazine (PSM) had an exclusive look into the game's PS3 version and they will be spilling the details on their February issue. Well, you don't have to wait until then as we're sharing them with you - right here, right now.

The PS3 version of Splinter Cell will have a female spy character model. This is actually important as this is the first one ever for the series. PSM was able to talk to Ubisoft's Studio Director Stephane Baudet and according to the official:

On Double Agent for the Xbox 360, this idea was still present, but because of a lack of time we couldn't add it properly. Then when we started working on the PS3-specific content, the spy girl was at the top of our list. We really liked the idea because it really embraces the fact that the spy should be cat-like, very nimble.


Baudet also added that they didn't want to imbalance the multiplayer gameplay and that's why no stealth advantages were given to the female spy. Now we know part of the reason why the PS3 version didn't coincide with the other consoles' releases. Anyway, Splinter Cell: Double Agent for PS3 will finally be available this coming March.

It kinda sucks how they always seem to release the same game later thats just a little bit better. Not good enough to go out and buy it again for those that already have it but just enough to piss you off.

Why would you buy the same game twice? Nobody does that. Why did you even bring that up you fu ckin 360 fanboy.

I am by no means a 360 fanboy I own a PS3 and that's it. I was just generalizing that I hate when I'm on the wrong end of an upgraded re release so you don't have to be a *****.

This makes an already *****ty game better? :P
Double Agent was horrible, I couldn't stand it. Chaos Theory and the previous games were way better.

I didn't like DA at first becuase of the deviation from the normal format of the games. However, I came around to like it, and I really think that this is one of the best in the series.
