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.

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.

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.

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

kevco33247d ago

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

phoenixwing247d ago (Edited 247d 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

zarbor247d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17247d 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_ZA247d 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.

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.
