Without a word, Ubisoft shipped out the HD collection remakes of the Splinter Cell Trilogy yesterday, priced at $39.99 for both the blu-ray copy and PSN.
All three games in Splinter Cell Trilogy support stereoscopic 3D. The original game, its two sequel, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory all support native 1080p renderin.
But is this HD conversion worth your money and time?According to the tech-savvy scrutinizers at Digital Foundry, it’s not unless your a die hard fan of the series. The level of care shown in Splinter Cell’s HD update is about on par with the work in the Prince of Persia HD trilogy. The trio is the “very basic conversions” of the PC games with some interface adjustments. The first two games reportedly perform in “an average manner,” multiplayer has been cut, and textures are “disappointing.” The standout title, DF concludes, is Chaos Theory, which “manages to acquit itself fairly well six years after its initial release.”
