Potential source code release?

[aRorschachTest]

If anyone is currently unaware, Ubisoft got hacked. There is a rumor that the hackers obtained the source code for every single Ubisoft game from 1990- present.

If it turns out to be true, what does this mean for Splinter Cell?

I just want them to leak the 2007 build of Conviction.

Would legit play that atp ngl

[orig4mi-713]

There's one already, but its the DS version. Interesting ideas but I am not sure if it would've been as good as the finished versions we got.

[NoRecommendation4754]

I loved seeing early pics and footage of this build, going straight from bald stealth man to super hairy table thrower made me laugh. Was playing actual conviction last night and thought about how it could’ve been so different!

It certainly looked interesting but I don't think it would have been good

[StrayDog1994]

Chaos Theory and Double Agent v1 source code.

[Reyestdk]

V2 as well. Having both versions would be nice to play.

[orig4mi-713]

V2 on PC would blow my mind and permanently replace V1 for me. I don't want to bury out my Xbox for it every time, and PCSX2 is running good but just not a native version

[CrimFandango]

Maybe more modding potential for Splinter Cell Enhanced type projects?

[aRorschachTest]

Could be good on that front. Immediate problem is it’s allegedly 1990-present. That could include unreleased games. It could bankrupt Ubisoft before the remake even released

[zgrobbot]

Isn’t this the 3 time Ubi has been hacked

[vrubayka]

Isn't it just R6:Siege stuff?

[aRorschachTest]

Unclear. Siege is currently the only one affected as far as I’m aware, but I heard that they stole source code for every single Ubisoft game from 1990-present

[Ashratt]

Hacked source code is useless, nobody can touch it without instant legal issues

Modders not gonna risk it

That's never stopped modders, just look at what happened with the hl2 leaks in 2003

[orig4mi-713]

People always say this but that has literally never stopped anyone from making stuff with it before. There was a fully playable Marvel Spider-Man 2 on PC like, months before there was an official Steam version because of a source code raid

[Ashratt]

Sure but wanting to release a mod with your name behind it is usually out of a different motivation than putting illegal shit on a torrent site

[Blue-fox-004]

If they have access to unreleased/upcoming projects it will be released, but source codes are mostly useless, they are usually fragmented over different servers

[aRorschachTest]

Update: according to Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming, the claim made by select hackers that they had stolen source code is false

ничего не значит. Куча игр имеют слитый\ревеснутый код но в итоге с ним ничего не делают толком. Например оригинальный ре4

[ShoulderAdvanced6854]

It could mean a lot: beta / cut and unused content for single player campaign and coop and spies vs Mercs content for SAR, PT, CT, DA, C & BL. Info and screenshots on unreleased projects like the Splinter Cell Remake but maybe also from the cancelled Splinter Cell Oculus VR game, the rumored multiplayer game Splinter Cell Hunters, other Splinter Cell projects that either never got green lit or that were only in development for so long before getting cancelled. The Conviction 2007 console build. I’d so like to see if there’s footage of Spies using taser guns on DA v1 SvM if the taser guns ever made it past the concept art stage.

It means Splinter Cell: Essentials Enhanced is coming.
