Can Splinter Cell Blacklist be a Stealth Game AND an Action Game?

Rev3:With all the feedback following the footage shown at E3 to Splinter Cell Blacklist, Adam talked with Lead Game Designer Richard Carillo about the game's play styles. With options that emphasize classic Splinter Cell stealth, Conviction panther-like attack or the new full blown run and gun assault, can the newest entry in the series be both stealth and action? Plus, hear a little bit more about the blacklist, how the game ties in to real world events and more.

Not interested . Splinter cell is dead

[FarCryLover182]

Indeed it is.

If Deus Ex can then why not.

People need to get over the fact that Ironside it gone. Guess what he's too old to do this shit anymore.

He even said it himself.

I'm actually going through Deus Ex again right now, saw your comment and thought the same thing - and this is coming from someone who loves stealth games.

I'm not saying Splinter Cell WILL pull it off but it can definitely be done.

[Tiqila]

yes, if it has stealth and action levels

[MYSTERIO360]

I not gonna shut this game off completely im still gonna try it. It could surprise me

[_LarZen_]

Sure it can, just look at Hitman Absolution.

No, that's not what made splinter cell great. if you want tot make an action stealth game fine, make one, but they didn't have to ruin a beloved franchise because of it. Same goes for horror games, why can't we just have survival horror games anymore, why does it always have to lead to Action horror. Fuck you publishers, i hope these games crash and burn so you learn a lesson

[hiredhelp]

They changed splinter cell too much moved more into a action/james bond style that the old splinter cell chaos theory i used to know love has gone.?
Sneaking around picking off targets without being seen the stealth has gone still not completed conviction.

No,Blacklist is for the action crowd who enjoyed Convictions.
