According to the trailer, the specific type of takedown made depends on Sam’s location, his situation, as well as the lethality of the kill, which should add up to a nice range of animations to help close up manoeuvres from getting stale. Kristjan Zadziuk, Animation Director for Splinter Cell: Blacklist states that there are over 90 different takedown animations in the game, with just a short sample shown in the trailer below.
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.
Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years
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?
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.
The stealth icon has gone too stealthy of late, but the best Splinter Cell games still rank among the best games ever made.

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.
I would love a new splinter cell, maybe even a reboot at this point. Sam Fisher deserves it
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
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.
Finally something worth looking at.
The more I see of this game the more excited I get. Seems much more like the older Splinter Cells with a mix of the action style of Conviction. Looking forward to it.
Some gameplay that looks like splinter cell and not an episode of 24
Awesome mehn. Awesome. Finally some finesse
still dont like the idea of one button take downs...You can attach all the fancy animations to one button but il get bored of it. i hope there is some old school splinter cell contextual options like taking a guy hostage, holding him up etc
graphically and animation wise it looks fantastic, i just hope for a little more depth in terms of controls.
