Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow Announced

Tim Grube writes "Ubi Soft have put out a press release revealing the next Splinter Cell title in development. It's called Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (here's more screenshots at Gaminghorizon), and will be released on all next-gen consoles in early 2004." Prominently mentioned is multiplayer co-operative online play, a definite plus for the new iteration of this stealth action franchise.

Next-Gen Consoles

[MBCook]

This is a bit off topic, but does the term "next-gen" consoles bug anyone else in the way it's used above.

It seems to me, that the term "next-gen consoles" should refer to the next generation of consoles. So you would use it to refer to X-Box 2, Playstaion 3, and the Gopher (Nintendo's next console, yes I made that code name up). You'd use it now to refer to those consoles. You'd use it after they had come out but it was still quite common for new games to come out on current consoles because they are still so common and big. You don't use the term "next-gen" to refer to the CURRENT generation of consoles when the "true" next-gen consoles are at least a year or two away.

Why? It's confusing. If you read what was submited, it sounds like the sequel to Splinter Cell will be comming out for the PS3, XBox2, and Weasle (maybe that's a better name ;). But they are comming out for the CURRENT consoles

Would it have been that hard to write "...released on all major consoles in early 2004."? No.
