If Splinter Cell makes a better Metal Gear Solid game for the PSP than Kojima did, im gonna be really sad. What was up with the cards, Hideo?

Well, Kojima did say he's making a traditional Metal Gear game (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3146518) for the PSP, although he does promise some twist.

Still, these Splinter Cell screens look pretty good, it's hard to tell it apart from the Xbox titles.

I'd say it looks awful similar to the original splinter cell, but man it doesn't hold a candle to Chaos Theroy, and nothing you say can change that.

Eh... I think it's pretty damn close. I think what makes it look shitter than Chaos Theory is probably mostly related to lighting. The PSP just can't do what the consoels can in that regard.

I really enjoyed Metal Gear Acid and can't wait for the sequel.

I really enjoyed Metal Gear Acid and can't wait for the sequel.

I enjoyed MGA as well and am looking forward to the sequel. Essentials is looking pretty good so far as well, but I'm not into the trial and error of the Splinter Cell series.

[Logik]

I'm looking forward to it, if for no other reason than to find out if they drop any hints about the next console version's storyline as part of their "number of surprises."

Hmm. hey I respect Kojima's projects, some some resonate with me moreso than others. I.E. Zone of the Enders > say.... Boktai.
