No Splinter Cell: Conviction Demo For PC

[mindcycle]

No Splinter Cell: Conviction Demo For PC Tomorrow Xbox 360 owners will get their hands on a Splinter Cell Conviction demo. PC owners? Nope, sorry fellas.

"Sorry guys, tomorrow's demo is for X360 only. There are no plans for a PC demo," said Ubisoft community manager Li Kuo.

It's a shit sandwich, no question. As previously announced, PC owners will also miss out on the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier beta. Vouchers for the beta will be included with new copies of the 360 Conviction.

No demos along with the draconian online DRM requirement makes me wonder how Ubisoft expects to sell anything on the PC at all..

No Ubisoft on the PC. Or console for me, for that matter.

PCGH:You announced that you game will be developed for PC, Xbox 360. Will the game be a pure cross-platform product or will there be an optimized version for the PC? If there is a special built for the PC what technical feature can't be realized with the console version or in other words are there any features the PC is the ideal platform to develop for?

Ubisoft:The lead platform is Xbox 360 and we are pushing it to the limit, we really want to give the players the best experience they can get out of it. The PC version is a port of the console version with the ability to boost the gaming experience furthermore with higher resolution, increased frame rate and many extra quality features. Also, we spent a lot of time working on the controls for PC, they have been tested by gamers and play testers and everyone agrees that the PC control scheme works very well. Obviously the controls are configurable to match everyone's taste and you can play the game with a keyboard / mouse or a gamepad, you choose the one that feels right for you.​

PCGH:Will Splinter Cell Conviction offer a support for Direct X 11?

Ubisoft:Unfortunately, there is no DX11 support in Conviction simply because it is a port from the X360 version which is based on DX9, so we have no plans for DX11 support in the future for Conviction.​

Wow. You said it. What a freakin' drag to be a PC gamer right now. Now excuse me while I fire up my DX11 Bad Company 2 and go mouse-clicky-clicky!

Exactly. At least they were up-front and honest about it. Unlike other games, where you know its a port but dont realize the damage until you install it.
