The next Chaos Theory? We review Splinter Cell: Blacklist [Gaming Trend]

Editor Ron Burke writes: "It’s amazing to see how much the team has listened to fan feedback, and just how far ahead this title is compared to Conviction. If sneaking is your speed, you can rest easy – Sam Fisher is back, and Splinter Cell: Blacklist is among the very best stealth titles you’ll play this generation."

Good game, but the changes to Sam's voice and character really bothers me.

joe903895d ago

I know what you mean, its kinda off putting but the game itself is great.

General Shrooms3895d ago

I would have preferred a new character over what they did.

skyrim3895d ago

Its good but no.........just no.

starchild3895d ago

I am loving this game. The best Splinter Cell in years. Actually, as much as I love the first three games, this one tops them. The sort of stealthy flow that I can get into in this game is just on another level.

AAWELLS093895d ago

I definitely agree. I'm loving the game. I personally like what they did with the character. I miss the old voice but it doesn't bother me enough to hurt the game.

starchild3895d ago

So true. I miss Michael Ironside's voice and it did feel a little weird at first, but I actually like the new guy's voice for Sam Fisher.

AAWELLS093895d ago

Yeah they did a good job of making seem like a badass.

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

zarbor244d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17244d 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_ZA244d 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-00244d 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.
