Splinter Cell producer Mathieu Ferland believes that Ubisoft's decision to reinvent the famed stealth series - ditching much of its light-and-shadow gameplay - will ultimately be vindicated by player reaction, despite the obvious risk.
"We've been working very closely with the fans from the beginning," Ferland told GamesIndustry.biz. "Their first reaction was, 'What's going on? Where's Sam?' And then they discovered these new possibilities, this new mechanic and they said, 'That looks awesome. I want to play it.'"
However, the producer admitted that Ubisoft could return to past values if things go wrong with Conviction, the fifth game in the series.
"It's not a one-way direction," he confirmed. "You can always go back and do different things, having Sam in a new position, or a different character to explore light-and-shadow gameplay."
I'm looking forward to this, it's good to see that they're taking it to another level rather than just playing it safe.
The demo video I saw the other week reminded me of a tech demo for Assassins Creed where you blend into the crowd.
be truthful and admit that double agent was a BOMB, no one liked it.
My local gamestop told that even the 360 fanboys returned this game in droves. You retards put one of your flagship titles in the hands of UBIjoke shanghai and they totally ruined it. nice going you dummies.
I'll be looking more in depth to this one. It's alway nice to change the formula every so often. Can't get a main franchise stagnate at all.
I just keep think BORNE Identity. That is one of my favorite movies an S.C. is a great series.
@Xbot_Killer, can I ask you something? Seriously? " I have it for 360" are you a lier or a morron? Pretty much every post you have is to say something bad about a 360 game or the 360 itself. Your name obviously shows you don't like xbox fans let alone the xbox brand. You are a Sony lemming. Now, why would you own a 360 and then come here and hate? What with Lemmings now in days? When is not that they keep saying "I am on my 5th xbox 360" or "I have that game for the 360 and it sucks...", "My 360 sucks and I like my PS3 better." dude... if you own a 360 and you dislike it that much... you an idiot for paying for something you don't like. I think no matter what it says a lot about you. a lier or a morron. pick one.
