Behold, the man responsible for 'reinvigorating' (ruining) Splinter Cell.

"Sam Fisher's new found athleticism is down to the accuracy of the motion capture says Beland."

Using motion capture as an excuse to not follow the plot, making Sam visually younger. wtf.

"Body moving is back in Splinter Cell Blacklist."

Touting features you'd take for granted in a SC game as something to get excited about.

"In addition, the most requested feature by fans will see its return with Blacklist. That’s right - Spies Vs. Mercs is back and we can’t wait to show you more in the months to come."

Like hell it will be ANYTHING like what 'Spies vs Mercs' was.
Some generic cover shooter shit inbound.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I personally like how SC evolved and that there are now options for stealth, action or panther.

What happened to people supporting changes? CoD keeps pretty much the same game play people love, and they get hate for it. SC tries something new and someone gets upset.

You can't win them all!

SC didn't need change. I felt more like a panther in Chaos Theory and Double Agent. SC20-k is what I needed.

I hate this dude more than any other ADD shooter inspired developer. He makes conviction(aka interactive film) all about the 'win' buttons mapped to every part of the controller including mark and execute, the worst type of 'win' button in the history of video games. Now in the e3 blacklist demo he includes at least 3 more 'win' buttons.

He goes a complete 180 degree with splinter-cell, spits on the face of fans, and he still has the nerve to put a smile on his face whilst still overexaggerating and overrating his crap sequel.

Spies vs Mercs will be all about the stupid perk and killstreak systems that ruined multiplayer games forever. Counter-intuively rewarding players who know the maps better and have had more experience with the game.

Get ready for pressing a button near an enemy at any position to get Mark and Execute and to do it three more times for airstrikes. What a piece of trash.

The game looks like it will be alot of fun.

I just wonder if SC Conviction will make it to the PS3 after all. Since all the other games are on the PS3. I don't why Ubisoft made a stupid move by making one game exclusive to Microsoft. However I am excited to see if this will be good since Michael Ironside isn't reprising his role as Sam Fisher:(

SC: Conviction hasn't made it to the PS3 so far, so I doubt it will ever come. When a certain amount of time passes, developers rarely ever go back and port it.

Maybe a few years into PS4's life?
