Well, now that something I want to hear.

Kingthrash3603442d ago

Another Sam Fisher?. ...yes please!
Hoping for a e3'17 reveal!

kitsune4513441d ago

Blacklist really blew me away despite my initial skepticism. I've been itching for a new one ever since. Bringing Ironside back would fix my only criticism of the game. It's not that the new VO was bad, he just wasn't Fisher.

thekhurg3441d ago

This would be great. Haven't played good espionage/stealth game since splinter cell Pandora.

starchild3441d ago

Hell yeah! Awesome news if true. Splinter Cell is one of my favorite franchises of all time.

Vegamyster3441d ago

Awesome news, Blacklist was a step in the right direction but it was weird not having Ironside.

-Foxtrot3442d ago

Oh so now he can apparently do the motion capture...huh Ubisoft. Thought he was "too old"

Hopefully it will be a return to form.

TwoForce3442d ago

Well, you could said that PR excuse.

marioJP873441d ago

I'd prefer they keep the dude who performed Blacklist's motion capture. He was actually trained in that field of combat.

AAWELLS093441d ago

Agreed. I actually liked the guy. I thought his performance on Blacklist was really god.

morganfell3441d ago

@-Foxtrot,

The article doesn't say that Ironside is doing the Mocap. It says that Toronto has the Mocap for it. I personally think performance Mocap is overrated. I would have been fine with actors performing Mocap in Blacklist and Ironside adding the voice. His V/O work would have more than made up for any supposed shortcoming.

marioJP873441d ago

Agreed. Let him do the voice acting but not the motion capturing. I'm still impressed by the motion capturing takedowns and character movement in Blacklist.

pinkcrocodile753441d ago

Too old my @rse

If Benedict Cumberbatch can perfectly voice and perform Smaug and Andy Serkis can perform Smeagol / Gollum then Ironside at 66 can do this.

It's all down the actor and Michael is one hell of an actor.

_-EDMIX-_3441d ago

I don't necessarily agree with that because those actors were doing motion-capture for fictional characters in terms of fantasy , where Ironside is essentially doing the movements of somebody that is trained militaristicly.

I'd actually rather have a real life military person just do the movements I also want Sam Fisher's character to have aged realistically as I can't take this whole bizarre time travel crap they're doing with this man's age lol

Is Sam fisher, the 50 plus year old man, gonna keep aging backwards?

PhantomTommy3442d ago

His daughter sounded like ten years older than him in Blacklist.

PhucSeeker3441d ago

Splinter Cell: The Curious Case of Sam Fisher.

Ashunderfire863441d ago

LOL you won the internet! Its like they completely forget that Sam Frisher is 50 years old! Why does he look so young?

morganfell3441d ago

Don't you know? In movies, books, music, TV, video games, pepsi...youth is better, right? Personally I find ageism disgusting and quite idiotic when I see a video game and some 19 year old is in charge of protecting the President. What is this, Logan's Run? There is fantasy and then there is delusion. I remember one dev interview for Chaos Theory and they were talking how Sam now had all black hair and was younger because that was better. No Ubi, no. Another monumental mistake.

Originally Sam was going to have white hair and a white beard but they scrubbed it because of the stealth aspect - never mind he has lights on him. Personally I prefer the old curmudgeon aspect where these young kids can't keep up with an aged warrior. Look at Billy Waugh. He was just over 70 and he was hunting Bin Laden in Afghanistan, traipsing around in the mountains. I would prefer they bring that Sam back.

Because its a video game and classics tend to age well lol.

Bringing back Ironside is a good start, but can we please have the old fun gameplay back too? There are enough games out there offering a badass action hero power fantasy. I just want a slow, tense stealth game with hacking and ridiculously dark shadows and copious amounts of the colour green.

LucasRuinedChildhood3441d ago

I thought Splinter Cell: Blacklist was a HUGE step in the right direction. The stealth was once again well executed and really good.

Recycling_seagull3441d ago

The fact you could pick up the body again was a big inprovement over Conviction. But the movements were too much conviction not enough original trilogy.

starchild3441d ago

Splinter Cell Blacklist was the best game in the series, in my opinion. I've been a huge fan since the first game and I've played through every game in the series more than once. Chaos Theory was absolutely amazing for its time and it's my second favorite game in the series, but Blacklist improved in quite a few areas and is overall the best, imo. I just missed Michael Ironside's voice (even though the new actor actually did pretty well) so that would be cool if they bring him back for the next game.

Bigpappy3441d ago

The first was my most memorable. I am a big fan of the series in general. The first was less forgiving and forced you to think. Limited amo and 3 strikes your out was a nice challenge

SpaceRanger3441d ago

As awesome as Blacklist was, I respectfully disagree. I think Pandora tomorrow has to be the top contender of them all in my opinion! The crazy number of unique environments, story and more were just on a whole other level for me back in the PS2 days!

PhucSeeker3441d ago

I personally love Double Agent's SP more. But goddamn, that BL's multiplayer is god-like. Had so much fun with it. The dynamic between the spies and mercs is phenomenon.

Recycling_seagull3441d ago

Reviews would disagree.

At least you could pick up a body in it. Don't understand how they thought taking that feature out was a good idea in Conviction.

But nothing beats the original trilogy, and hopefully we get a game in line with those games as opposed to the way the last 2 played. Ubisoft isn't dumb and they can see the reviews and sales and should be able to see the writing on the wall for what people want.

Majister-Ludi3441d ago

What do you mean blacklist is the second best game in the series after chaos theory. Obviously they are heading back in the right direction. I have faith the next game will be great. Please keep the 2v2 mp.

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
