Gamespot : I've been waiting eight years, Ubisoft. Please, you can get this right.
David Grivel is back to help shape the new Splinter Cell.
So I wonder what the release date will be. Probably another 3-4 years. This is good news for the splinter cell fans, Ubisoft needed this. It should be in good hands now.
I hope they go back to the first three games game style. Didn’t like the newer games that much.
Tim talks about what he’s been watching and playing along with the news from the past week, including Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, X-Men ’97, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the Splinter Cell Remake, Gears of War 6, old games still being popular and more!
Announced in 2021, the ground-up remake has seen little to no updates this year. Check out some possible explanations here.
The game was announced much too early, but also people were hounding Ubisoft about Splinter Cell for years, so they wanted placate them by making the announcement.
It's normal for games to "go dark", no reason to worry about it. In our age of social media and glut of releases everyone has to turn everything into a big deal if they don't get what they want immediately. Just be patient and let them develop the game.
And let's hope they don't turn it into a modern Ubishit game, packed with mundane boring filler, and ways to artificially extend the length of the game. Experience points, skill trees, resource collecting, grinding for equipment upgrades. None of that trash belongs in Splinter Cell.
We are talking about Ubisoft. Of course all that crap will be shoehorned into the game.
Old Ubisoft was amazing. Modern Ubisoft I mostly ignore these days. It's a shame because they have so much potential.
Ubisoft and remakes seen to be cursed still waiting for Prince of Persia Sands of Time
well ... one thing's positive in that ... they're using the snowdrop engine for this remake, which looks better than Ubisoft's Anvil engine.
Snow drop is a stunning engine have been used in the Division series as well will be powering the upcoming Avatar and Star Wars Outlaws
You can wish all you like but as you said in the article:
"Ubisoft of 2021 is not the same company that made the first game in 2002. Microtransactions are prevalent in nearly every game it releases, and it's even experimenting with NFTs in Ghost Recon Breakpoint now.".
**Cue solemn/ foreboding music**.
Ofc Ubisoft won't mess this up. They will give what the fans want. That's silly customizable costume MTX and rabbid cameos.
I have never stopped playing the Splinter Cell games over the years especially after all of them were added to Xbox back compat and 4K enhanced for the X1X and Series consoles. I was hoping for a new SC not a remake, as it is my favorite all-time series so I am happy for any new SC news. Ubi is my favorite dev love all of their games. 250 hours into Valhalla, love that game, and I am fine with micro transactions. If you are not don't pay.
Fingers crossed. Hopefully won't be splinter cell: nft theory.
Here’s the thing, Ubisoft knows what the fans want and it’d be such a media nightmare for them if they don’t deliver. I feel like they’ll use this opportunity to get on the fans’ good side and if they don’t, then they are complete idiots.
