Splinter Cell Remake Director Leaves Ubisoft

The director of the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Remake has left Ubisoft after more than 11 years at the company.

Profchaos1307d ago

Doesn't bode well for the project but Ubisoft has just gone from bad news to worse lately with rumoured sales popping up he may just be leaving before the ship sinks

crazyCoconuts1307d ago

When a company is bought out, though, there's usually a retention bonus given to high value people. That and a potential bump in stock price. Usually it's right after the contractual period dictated by the retention bonus that you see people bailing. Just saying if he thought they were getting bought I'd think he might be tempted to stay not leave

Par for the course in this very unwell industry

CrimsonWing691307d ago

Man, I really want a new Splinter Cell game, but this’ll do. My only real issue is I’ve lost all faith in Ubisoft to deliver on this. I can’t help but feel like they’ll mess this up.

RaidenBlack1307d ago

please don't f this up ...
of all the upcoming remakes ... this one of the most important and anticipated one

This might be bad news. After 11 years in the company leaving during a project like this one. Woke or microtransaction remake incoming

Gamesual11307d ago

Doesn’t look good for the project and especially that the stealth genre is in dire need of a comeback as both flagships (MGS and SC) haven’t had anything released in years.

If they screw this up then I just don't know what to tell you.

Travesty165d ago

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.

Dexterio165d ago

I hope they go back to the first three games game style. Didn’t like the newer games that much.

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.

Chocoburger895d ago

Old Ubisoft was amazing. Modern Ubisoft I mostly ignore these days. It's a shame because they have so much potential.

P_Bomb896d ago

Fond memories of the OG trilogy. Hope they do right by it.

Ubisoft and remakes seen to be cursed still waiting for Prince of Persia Sands of Time

RaidenBlack896d ago

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
