About Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow:
The U.S. installs a temporary military base on East Timor to train the developing
defense force of the "world's youngest democracy." Resistance to the
U.S. military presence in Southeast Asia is widespread and passionate, but the
threat Indonesian militias pose to East Timorese democracy is deemed sufficient
justification. At the same time, the U.S. doesn't mind having an excuse to install
active military personnel within easy reach of both North Korea and the largest
Muslim population in Asia.
Anti-U.S. resentment comes to a head under the leadership of guerrilla militia
leader Suhadi Sadono, acting with the unofficial support of major corrupt factions
of the Indonesian government. Suhadi's men attack and occupy the U.S. embassy
in Jakarta, taking dozens of civilian and military personnel hostage.You are
Sam Fisher. You're sent in, not to rescue the hostages, but to destroy top-secret
documentation held in the embassy before Suhadi's men access it.
The New Dawn of Stealth Action - An Experience So Compelling You Feel
It!
Believe the Story, Inspired by the world of Tom Clancy and endorsed by the famous
author, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow features a storyline
so real you can feel it. Tension-filled stealth action springs from a compelling
original storyline that could have been ripped from the headlines by scriptwriter
JT Petty, who penned the original Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell.
Understand the Characters
In this sequel to the original game, favorite characters like
Sam Fisher and Irving Lambert return and unveil even more about their personal
histories in the more character-driven storyline. New antagonists appear, including
Suhadi Sodano, an Indonesian guerrilla leader whose beliefs are sound, but whose
methods are barbaric. And then there is Norman Soth: CIA-trained mercenary deep
under cover or traitor working for the enemy? Whose side is he really on? Douglas
Shetland, director of a private military corporation, is an old acquaintance
of Sam. And more to discover....
Immerse Yourself
Revolutionary lighting, shadowing, animation, physics, and
sound effects are pushed to the limit to create a universe so tightly woven
that the line between reality and gaming starts to blur. High-resolution cinematics,
amazing sound design and music, as well as top-quality voice over give Splinter
Cell Pandora Tomorrow a unique movie-production quality. Voice actors, music
composers, and cinematic directors will be announced in the coming months.
You’ve Got the Moves
Now more than ever, Sam relies on his moves. In this sequel
to the original Splinter Cell, circumstances demand that Sam use his agility
and athleticism to avoid detection and death. In fact, the level design demands
them. Use a half split jump to reach a ledge, zip-line across an open courtyard,
rappel along the side of a building, SWAT-turn to bypass an open door unseen.
More cool new moves will be announced in coming months.
You’ve Got the Gear
Based on prototypes currently in development or gadgets out
on the field, a menu of high-tech gadgets and tools is at Sam Fisher's disposal.
Revolutionary Multiplayer Stealth-Action Gameplay Online for the First Time
Take Splinter Cell Online
Taking place in the graphically rich environment we expect
from Splinter Cell, the multiplayer gameplay is a natural extension of the Splinter
Cell world. Just as in Splinter Cell, players will call on a wide variety of
gadgets, weapons, and athletic moves to best their opponents. The light- and
shadow-filled environment offers dark retreats for stealth gamers and wide-open
spaces that spell danger for spies. The multiplayer game is integrated into
the compelling offline story, though both offline and online gameplay can be
enjoyed independently of one another.
Choose a Side
Taunt your enemies from the shadows as you meet stealth objectives
playing through wide multiplayer maps in third-person view as a SHADOWNET spy.
Or track spies using a first-person perspective as a heavily armed ARGUS mercenary
protecting your compound. The abilities and resources on each side are evenly
matched. Winning will come down to skill and strategy.
Feel the Tension
Just as in the original game, online players will feel the
tension that comes from never knowing what might happen next. SHADOWNET spies
hold their breath as mercenaries pass by close enough to touch them. They hide
in the dark and wait for the right moment to spring into action. They work in
concert - one can distract the mercenaries, while the other(s) meets the objective.
Mercenaries never know when a SHADOWNET spy might silently drop down from the
shadows to attack or slip by detection efforts to complete a mission. But relying
heavily on their detection devices, they feel like they can stop the threat
- at least for now. Are spies stealing your secrets while they toy with you?
Feel the Game.
The multiplayer maps feature the revolutionary lighting, shadowing,
animation, physics, and sound effects that have become the Splinter Cell trademark.
Graphical effects push that even further. Electronic interference can disrupt
the vision and tools of the mercenaries. Spies must avoid the searching flashlights
and laser pointers. Flashbang, shaft, and gas grenades are also powerful visual
effects that players will have to deal with. Thanks to their advanced goggles,
SHADOWNETs can see in the dark and read thermo signatures in their environment
while mercenaries detect movements and electromagnetic disturbance in their
surroundings … and there's much more to discover.
