GI - Blacklist director Patrick Redding says focus on gore makes games an "easy target", believes diversity can quell concerns.
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
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?
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.
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.
Great stuff and I completely agree. The industry needs to mature and open up to more genres than violence.
It will probably never catch on, at least for a while. Even some of the most kid friendly movies still have violence in it. Cartoon violence.
I think we will keep getting more art games, but it will never be mainstream. just like art movies no one likes, but get respected by the industry.
Is that why you take a more violent action approach?
Calling the kettle black I see...
unbelievable. and coming from someone who is in the process of obliterating a franchise by "making the player feel like an experienced killer".
Even in PSOM he said he wants people to not worry about "aiming and feeling fragile and stuff".
He is the posterchild of a (newly redefined) game that uses mindless, shameless slaughter as a key selling point.
Ok thank you this article means alot to me. The franchise has gone downhill complacently the past few years. After chaos theory the mp and co op have slowly gone bad starting with double agent. If any of you splinter cell fans enjoyed splinter cell chaos theory versus please check out my videos. This also proves my point on how MP games have been tacked on the past few franchises.
