'Wii U Feels Like A Natural Platform for Splinter Cell Blacklist' - Ubisoft

"We recently got in touch with Maxime Beland who is the creative director of Splinter Cell Blacklist. Given the fact that the Wii U is not exactly a popular platform for big publishers like EA, Ubisoft on the other hand have been pretty vocal in their support for Nintendo's next gen platform."

Already in my get list. This will be the first Splinter Cell I have played in years.

malokevi3939d ago

This is one of the last games I'm excited about this gen. 4v4 Spies vs. Mercs.... yes please!

UNI is right. The WiiU is more than powerful enough to run this game perfectly (perhaps even better than current gen platforms), and it has a long lifespan ahead of it. Seems like a perfect fit for a company looking to make some buck.

As long as people buy the console.

LOL_WUT3939d ago (Edited 3939d ago )

I'm getting this for the Wii U. Ubisoft has showed continuous support for the platform and I intend to support them all the way. ;)

@ Below, yep

Trago13373939d ago (Edited 3939d ago )

You have a Wii U? LOL

@disagrees, calm down Nintendo fans, I laughed at how ironic it is that LOL_WUT of all people has a Wii U haha.

browngamer413939d ago

As a Nintendo fan myself I agree with your statement..LOL-WUT having a WiiU seems kinda like that Mika troll having one-impossible!lol

ABizzel13939d ago

@LOL_WUT

Unfortunately there are more Nintendo gamers like yourself. Because if Ubisoft goes then there goes the final major 3rd party support (at least from Western developers).

Rayman Legends, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed 4, and Splinter Cell Blacklist are 4 core games all coming to the Wii U via Ubisoft so support them N fans.

As a matter of fact Ubisoft is out Wii'ing the Wii U, with a fitness game, Wii sports like game, and Just Dance 4 coming out from them as well.

Finally movie tie ins.... yeah.....

joint88773939d ago

All Wii U owners! BUY this game so Ubisoft still want to support the Wii u in the future! Thanks

ShaunCameron3939d ago

My sentiments exactly, though SC:B seem to be a better fit on the XBox 360.

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.

CoNn3rB245d ago

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

kevco33245d ago

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

phoenixwing245d ago (Edited 245d 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

zarbor245d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17245d 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?

FYouDad244d 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_ZA245d 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-00245d 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.

UltraNova1484d 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!

Psychonaut851484d ago

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

zachyBROosevelt1484d ago (Edited 1484d ago )

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

Profchaos1484d 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

hiawa231484d 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.
