The gamepad features look great, might have to pick this one up.

BullyMangler4015d ago

"Splinter Cell Blacklist offers enhanced gameplay options on the Wii U," reads the listing.

"The Gamepad mimics Sam's OpSat, allowing the player to operate gadgets such as tri-rotor drones, sticky cam and much more through touch and motion based inputs.

"The Wii U GamePad allows for faster reaction times, letting the player mark and execute enemies, switch weapons and choose gadgets to adapt to any situation.

"Track your friends' missions and see what Splinter Cell Blacklist players are doing worldwide through the GamePad."

Looks pretty good to me. Not played a Splinter Cell game in years (probably back on the old GCN or XBOX) but I think I'll give this a whirl.

chente00254015d ago

Wow! now this is what next-gen looks like!

avengers19784015d ago

It looks like a game also releasing on the 360 and PS3.
The game looks great and I've had reserved for weeks for PS3 so I wouldn't say this " is what next gen looks like"

chente00254015d ago

Dude I also have a ps3 and if i'm gonna cash out $60 it's gonna be for the Wii U version."U" just mad cause "U" don't have a Wii U and Wii Do! :-P

avengers19784015d ago

@chente I could have one if I wanted one, its not like there in short supply or high demand. I am not mad at all its not like I'm missing out on the game.

chente00254015d ago (Edited 4015d ago )

I can see your not missing out on hating what u have not tried or own Mr.Fan Boy! see people bashed the wii u cause it got sloppy ports of old games that didn't push the consoles capabilitys.but from now on it's gonna be totally different because games are gonna be released at the same time wich means they are gonna be developed from bottom to top for the wii u and that's when the "U" is gonna sh*t all over ps360.and guess what? when ps4 comes out i'm gonna get one too (cause i'm no fan boy).which will sh*t all over wii u (spec's wise cause gameplay is yet to be seen) but not as bad as wii u over ps360!

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4015d ago (Edited 4015d ago )

So this is the next gen version.

lilbroRx4015d ago (Edited 4015d ago )

Does the PC allow the use of 2 independent game screens simultaneously?

The only thing the PC version will allow higher software performance and higher quality graphics to those with the hardware to run it.

Gameplay is, first and foremost, the most important thing in any game. The Wii U version will have the most to offer gameplay wise, so it will be the best version.

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.

CoNn3rB241d ago

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

kevco33241d ago

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

phoenixwing241d ago (Edited 241d 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

zarbor241d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17241d 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?

FYouDad240d 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.

Tody_ZA241d 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-00241d 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.

UltraNova1480d 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!

Psychonaut851480d ago

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

zachyBROosevelt1480d ago (Edited 1480d ago )

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

Profchaos1480d 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

hiawa231480d 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.
