E3 2012: Splinter Cell: Blacklist Is About “Options”

GCO: "Splinter Cell has always been about stealth, but that changed with Splinter Cell: Conviction, the last installment in the series."

I'm a sucker for a good stealth game... can't wait to play this.

MAJ0R5092d ago

Mhmm, I remember when Splinter Cell games had stealth...

Bathyj5092d ago

I thought you said you wanted a good stealth game?

It will be a good action game, but not stealth.

Zha1tan5092d ago (Edited 5092d ago )

brb one button takedown, mark all enemies, press one button and win.

so strategic, so tactical and such interactivity.....

Can we just get a redone version of Chaos Theory? its clear ubi has lost the plot with the tom clancy games.

Bathyj5092d ago

Agreed.

Ghost Recon broke my heart. Thjat mark and execute crap, and one shot kills made it to easy.

And while I enjoyed Conviction it was not much of a Splinter Cell game.

Blacklist looks to sliding even further towards action.

I have almost no hope for Rainbow 6 anymore, but I hope Ubi surprise me.

Fez5092d ago (Edited 5092d ago )

I watched a couple of gameplay vids of Ghost Recon and thought it looked stupidly easy. With mark and execute, gadgets to spot enemies and stealth camo the game just looked far too easy.

Still looks like it might be fun but I don't think a game that easy could sustain me for a full play through.

Looks like splinter cell might be going in a similar direction and that is not good for a splinter cell game. Think I'm just gonna get the HD collection and stick with that. Those original splinter cell games were brilliant... one of the few actual stealth games.

Good to see the author of this article can't even quote someone properly. I'll be blocking this shit site now.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - A Decade in the Shadows

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has been out of action for a decade, so it's time to look back at 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

CoNn3rB1003d ago

Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years

kevco331003d ago

10 years, in fact. He must be, like, 60 by now?

phoenixwing1003d ago (Edited 1003d ago )

why make an inspired game that takes effort when you can half ass it with multiplayer gaas games and filler filled assassins creed games?

That question up there is the reason you don't see splinter cell games

zarbor1003d ago

Yup, another example that Ubisoft has no idea what they are doing.

MIDGETonSTILTS171003d ago

The entire mark and execute system belonged in another game.

It’s cool, but the polar opposite to how Sam Fisher initially handled.

The original trilogy made shooting very, very difficult, yet a viable option, which ultimately motivates stealth.

The mark/execute system makes shooting stupid easy, to the point of why would you even bother trying stealth as an alternative?

FYouDad1002d ago

Because Ghost is the method fans of the series actually prefer? IMark and execute is never forced upon the player you liiterally never have to bother using it even once throughout Blacklist.

RNTody1003d ago

The sad part is that I actually really enjoyed the last game, Blacklist. It may have lacked the iconic voice but the gameplay was excellent, and blended stealth, action and a mix really great compared to most games, where none of the three options felt like the wrong way to play. I really hope they either produce a remake of the original game or a proper sequel.

Rikimaru-001003d ago

Isn't UBI Soft remaking splinter cell.

Sam Fisher Deserves Better

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Ubisoft, we need to chat. Please, have a seat. Thanks. Ok, so I think you know why you’re here. No it has nothing to do with all those game delays, we’ll talk about that later. What? No it’s not about the Skulls & Bones and Beyond Good & Evil 2 falling off the face of the Earth, just listen. We need to talk about Splinter Cell. Don’t give me that look, you know this conversation needs to happen. The way you’ve treated the series, its fans and poor Sam Fisher himself is sad, infuriating and just plain disappointing and it needs to stop."

The Fish!!!

I'd love to see a remastered edition of those games as well as something new. It's about time.

UltraNova2242d ago

MGS is done, at least as we know it so it's now or never Ubi, give Fisher the reboot it deserves. And for Gods sake, don't you dare turn Splinter Cell into another Division/Ghost reckon online abomination instead of a SP focused steath action game!

Psychonaut852242d ago

You know they will though. This is Ubisoft we’re talking about

zachyBROosevelt2243d ago (Edited 2243d ago )

I would love a new splinter cell, maybe even a reboot at this point. Sam Fisher deserves it

Profchaos2242d ago

I think reboot the entire franchise the games were great but every time they try to make him human like a father or something it comes of as unbelievable

hiawa232242d ago

They added damn near every SC game to Xbox1X back compat enahnced list. That is a lot of Sam enhanced and I am loving it, but Sam deserves a new next gen game.
