Yves Guillemot has explained the delays of Splinter Cell: Conviction and Assassin’s Creed as being due to a desire to perfect the titles.
“The changes on Splinter Cell and Red Steel – it’s just a question of polish,” Guillemot explained in a conference call post-delay announcement. The games are now set for release sometime between January and end of March 2010.
“The team was asking that they couldn’t be with the level of quality on all the maps and all the game for the end of the year, so they had asked for more time to be able to come with a better product, for both of those games,” Guillemot added.
“The quality of the games is there for what you’ve been able to see at E3, but we were not able to have that same quality on the full game of those two products.”
The games received a warm welcome at E3 last month, with a handsome reception from attendees of the event.
