Never been into the splinter cell series. This one looks like it just might change that though.

krazykombatant4229d ago

Maybe for you this looks good, but this looks awful, Ubi should have gone with a new character, this character model doesn't look like sam, he doesn't talk like sam. The trailer talks about 5th freedom as if its a new concept. It was SHOWN IN THE FIRST GAME!!

This game is is an insult to the fans, the game and the character of sam.

Spenok4228d ago

Hm, maybe that's why i'm interested then lol. Pretty much new everything.

OR, maybe its a reboot? Hence the deal with the 5th freedom?

krazykombatant4228d ago

5th freedom was already in the game.

NYC_Gamer4229d ago

Too much over the top hollywood action for me

Flavor4229d ago

Being upset that everything doesn't stay the same is the mindset of an illiterate peasant. Looks like a blend of stealth and action, just like every SC game, don't condemn it just because it looks different.

krazykombatant4229d ago

The game has changed drastically. The voice new actor doesn't sound like sam whatsoever, this is a fucking joke. The new trailer makes it like a michael bay film. There is no problem when they add new things, but this isn't Stealth, its an action game with plenty of QTE.

Darth Gamer4229d ago

I'm a long time fan of the Splinter Cell Series, all the way back to the first on the original Xbox and Even though, This is a totally new direction for the character I do think this looks decent unlike the new Resident Evil of which I will not be buying. I truely hope that they try to keep most of the game to the roots of the series and keeps stealth gameplay at the forfront though. To be honest though, I will only be getting this for the multiplayer of Spies vs mercs as long as they don't change that format. I and a few friends have been missing some good old spy vs merc action.

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.

CoNn3rB246d ago

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

kevco33246d ago

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

phoenixwing246d ago (Edited 246d 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

zarbor246d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17246d 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?

FYouDad246d 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_ZA246d 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-00246d 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.

UltraNova1486d 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!

Psychonaut851486d ago

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

zachyBROosevelt1486d ago (Edited 1486d ago )

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

Profchaos1486d 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

hiawa231486d 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.
