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?

FYouDad245d 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.

It is a fun game and I love how the world changes around you as the narrator tells the story and lies about how things went down to liven things up for his audience.

poppatron274d ago

I’m pretty sure that’s not what people were saying when it first released. If it was better received we’d probably of seen a sequel.

isarai274d ago

Actually it got a lot of praise from the few people who did review it, problem was the franchise had by then already burned it's reputation to ashes, this game was a final flashy firework before it was snuffed for those that stuck around. It was too little too late.

Good-Smurf274d ago (Edited 274d ago )

Duel in this was nerve wracking never seen a better game that nailed the focus and feel of tension of gun duel since.
Sound design was amazing as well.
Very fun western shooter.

mkis007274d ago

Damn i played it for an hour and liked it way back...but i got distracted by something else and never went back to it...still own it on steam.

Minute Man 721274d ago

I'm halfway thru this game....shootouts are insane 😆 😆 🤣
