LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

'Ultimate' Compilations For Far Cry And Splinter Cell Franchises Spotted Online

Posted on Monday, January 14 @ 14:53:23 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
If a few new product listings on UK retailer GAME's website prove to be true, Ubisoft is planning to launch a couple of compilations bundling together games from two of their key franchises.

The publisher has already covered their bases on Assassin's Creed with the Ezio Trilogy, so naturally, the next franchises up for the bundle treatment are Far Cry and Splinter Cell. Listed as Ultimate Far Cry Compilation and Ultimate Splinter Cell, these two alleged game packages will almost certainly package together all prior entries in their respective series.


Considering how popular Far Cry 3 has been since its release this past December, a compilation of the prior games seems like a logical move. Let's also not forget that Splinter Cell: Blacklist is on the not too distant horizon, so a collection of games from Ubi's stealth-heavy franchise makes total sense as well.

Does the idea of either of these collections interest you, or are you sick of re-releases? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

    Industry equivalent of used game sales. Let's bundle and get some cash for games no one is purchasing anymore. How much would gamestop give/charge you for a copy of the original far cry - $2/$7...

    Like Hitman I think Splinter Cell got worse after the first couple. Hitman 1-2 and Splinter Cell 1-2 were great stealthy games that really punished you for screwing up. Most people didn't have the patience for that though so to remain competitive they are just getting easier.

    Not that I haven't played/enjoyed all of the Hitman/Splinter Cell games, but definitely miss the old iterations.

    Compilations don't appeal to me. If the games were really good, I most likely bought them when they came out. If I messed up and missed a gem, I'd buy the original release.

    HD collections appeal in a way, but from reading GR reviews of some of the recent releases, if I already have the games they don't warrant purchasing the same game twice just for a graphical "upgrade."

    I bought the Silent Hill HD "collection" (I put collection in quotes because two games is hardly a collection) because I was anticipating something to the effect of a full-fledged remake like Resident Evil got on the Gamecube. What I got instead was Playstation-era Silent Hill on the big(ger) screen. Now you can see the dated graphics twice as well. There was nothing HD about them. I think I've ranted on here about them before, but those games did not age well.

    In all honesty, I've never really played any of the Splinter Cell or Hitman games. I've tried a few demos in the past I think, but that's about it. I should really check them out sometime.
