Splinter Cell: Blacklist is designed to be played as a stealth game, says Ubi

VideoGamer: "Despite plenty of confusion, Ubisoft claims Splinter Cell: Blacklist is, first and foremost, a stealth game."

Thats what you said about Conviction...just saying

NYC_Gamer3941d ago (Edited 3941d ago )

The days of true stealth games are dead because publishers want huge mainstream success

Mr_Nuts3941d ago

True

You know I'm saying that and I've learnt my lesson with Conviction so I'm not getting it either way. Not even Spies vs. Mercs can lure me in

Plus they got rid of Ironside which was the final strike. Making it out like he's too old for motion capturing when you have someone like Richard Mcgonagle who plays Sully still going and he's like 2 years older then Ironside. It's obviously about money...

They should of just started a new series with a new character to be honest.

@ NYC
Too true. Even the MGS series is drawing away from its steath roots with this guns-blazing or "stealth" gameplay option Kojima's levied on the latest releases. It's saddening how casualized gaming has become.

Lord_Sloth3941d ago

Which is why I'm waiting till after launch to consider buying this game.

malokevi3941d ago

I loved conviction. Endless Coop fun. It wasn't exactly traditional splinter cell, but it was still great.

You have to consider that it was a completely different game before they scrapped the project. Something of a rush job.

I think blacklist will take the game back to its roots, while keeping in line with conviction. Maybe a split between SC3 and SCconviction.

in any case... 4v4 Spies vs. Mercs. I'm sold. Dreaming of Pandora Tomorrow...

Zack_Fair3941d ago

At least the multiplayer of Conviction is totally a stealth game.
For me, it was what saved the game.

"Splinter Cell designed to be played as a stealth game"

No shit..

PigPen3941d ago

Ubi I'm buying, my first Splinter Cell in years.

General Shrooms3941d ago

New Splinter cell a stealth game? sure, and New Resident evil games are scary.

InTheLab3941d ago

Sure....

*goes and watches the video of Sam running through a camp using mark and execute, then calling in an air strike*

Seems legit :/

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.

CoNn3rB248d ago

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

kevco33248d ago

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

phoenixwing248d ago (Edited 248d 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

zarbor247d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17247d 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?

FYouDad247d 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_ZA247d 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-00247d 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.

UltraNova1487d 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!

Psychonaut851487d ago

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

zachyBROosevelt1487d ago (Edited 1487d ago )

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

Profchaos1487d 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

hiawa231487d 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.
