GamingUnion.net: "Ubisoft didn't have the best first showing for Splinter Cell: Blacklist at E3 2012 when the game was officially announced. Everyone was worried that the series was just going to continue its more action oriented approach with the series much like Conviction. For most Splinter Cell: Conviction was a good idea that probably was in development for to long. However, Ubisoft has been taking the right steps since E3 to show that Blacklist is actually going to be a better mix of action, but still retain the kind of stealth the series became famous for."
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
Interesting, hadn't really looked into this game much, but have been considering getting back into the franchise for quite some time now and this does sound promising.
As I have been saying since reveal, it doesn't look like a Splinter Cell game, it looks all COD like and with no Michael Ironside, it doesn't feel like one either. I won't buy this and I am sure many others feel the same. Bring back Ironside and we can talk.
Saw a Blacklist game play demo way back last year and was honestly impressed, and have just recently bought a pre-owned copy of Conviction ( a big revelation as compared to the disappointment that was Double Agent ).
Looking positive about Blacklist as I once did with the first 3 original old time Splinter Cell faves.
The ackward moment when you realized that Splinter Cell Conviction has better graphics than the sequel Splinter Cell: Blacklists
It looks stealthier than Conviction, that's for sure.
But it's still deviated too far from what the original series was. Where is the lockpicking, where is the computer hacking, where is the reading emails, where is the reading notes in the OPSAT, where is Ironside, where is the voice of Grimsdottir, where is my mind?
