GR - "Splinter Cell is not only one of the hallmark stealth franchises, but also one of the best franchises we have ever seen ever in gaming, period. And while many fans have a problem with Splinter Cell: Conviction and the way it handled things for the series, and just how “less” hardcore it was when compared to other classic titles in the series- like Chaos Theory, for example-, it was, when all was said and done, an awesome game. Still, it did have a lot of problems."
The problem is, that they can't really go back from conviction cus there are actually muppets who liked it.
It was a travesty of a game. It's one of those games where you can wholeheartedly say you 'hate it'.
5 hour game. No spy's v mercs. Not Splinter Cell.
It's saving grace was having Ironside still in the role.
Classic example of making a game aimed at people who didn't 'make it what it is'. Alienating the fans.
Need to review their past games for some future inspiration.
Conviction was a good game i was iffy about the cover to cover thing. They should stick to the slow and steady play style. Keep the co op thing and add in the old pandora tomarrow co op feel and add more co op moves. The not being able to move people after knocking them down was just stupid it couldent of been that hard to implement. keep the things that made splinter cell great. you can add new things just make sure they stick to the basics.
All I want is another fucking Chaos Theory...
