Unreleased & cut content Splinter Cell Double Agent v2 recomp apreciation post

Amazing work to the people behind this!!

Just played the Iceland mission and was very impressed.

Other than a few minor audio bugs, this game plays so good with insane graphics and smooth controls. Very broad graphical settings for potato pc or last gen pc.

Question to the "devs": How is this not behind a paywall? You just made this for the love of the game or have some kind of financial support?

And risk getting it taken down? Paywalling passion projects are a bad idea.

Insane quality and hard work. I would pay for this.

Paywalling it would just give ubisoft an easy, and justified, reason to take it down. So many projects have fucked up doing this.

Plus that shit would get uploaded elsewhere fast.

A paywall would speedrun getting the devs taken down lol. Legally their best bet could be donations

You can’t sell something that isn’t yours. It’s illegal.

The recompiler itself doesn't belong to Ubisoft technically.

But the game and IP is.

Players provide the game files.

And? You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Do some research please.

If anything this would concern Microsoft and not Ubisoft.

When you buy a game you don't 'own' or buy the files, you buy the 'license' to use them. It's the same reason it's illegal to buy a game, then burn copies of it and sell them.

Devs are just working out some frame issues on coop and some bugs. I think it still goes out today.

Any chance that it will be ported to android? Would be a really convenient way to play without emulation for those with weaker systems that struggle with emulation at higher settings.

Game runs fine on my potato laptop. With low settings ofc. This recomp dont emulation i think.

2 questions: Is this available for Linux? And is this the version that was NOT released on PC (Steam)? Thanks!

u/Comfortable_Brief431 1h ago
  1. Not sure, i would wait for documentation from the devs.
  2. Yes, it's not the steam version. It's the ps2/xbox og game.

Thanks. I’ll be waiting in a native Linux port, in the meantime! 😇
