Last month, the French company offered Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and today the team has made the first part of the legendary Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell franchise available for download."
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.
Earlier this week, Julian Gerighty, creative director at Ubisoft, teased a new Splinter Cell game. The Ubisoft PR department said he was joking. Why, though, just give us a new Splinter Cell already
Michael Ironside is actually vocally eager about playing Sam Fisher again, and indeed was in the last Ghost Recon's DLC.

Game can’t just be ‘another Splinter Cell’.... it needs to go back to the Chaos Theory type Stealth... I hated Blacklist.
Blacklist wasn't perfect but it did a excellent job at giving you different options in the campaign, whether it was playing it like Chaos Theory or going all out assault. MP could have been balanced better and it needed Ironside but other than that it i thought it was a good game.
I liked Blacklist, but if we get a trailer this E3 and it's just more of the Conviction/Blacklist style, I'll be hugely disappointed. There is a huge gap in the market for an old-school, hardcore stealth game like Thief or Chaos Theory. I want slow, methodical gameplay in non-linear environments -- I'm sick to death of convenient chest high cover and being able to mark enemies to see them through walls.
Every year E3 bombards us with thousands of games to check out and get excited for. Piles and piles of new titles that are coming out way in the near(ish) future. But because us gamers are a greedy bunch and never satisfied there is always a sense of disappointment after the show. Here are the five titles Player 2 thought were the most missed.
Been playing the HD collection, just finished SC1 currently on Pandora Tomorrow.
Man how I miss the classic Splinter cell.
Splinter Cell is a great series; glad Ubi hasn't totally forgotten about it. Chaos Theory (3rd game) was so damn good!
Love SC, it's always been my favourite stealth series. Ubisoft need to do a new one and usher in a new era of the stealth genre. The "3 stages of alertness (seen, caution, unseen), cone of vision + rudimentary sound (as in, how much noise you make)mechanics" have been the same for yonks now.
I hope they get Michael Ironside back
yeah i downloaded the prince of persia i will look for this as well but it's too bad i dont go on Uplay that much even though i own so many games on it
Why don't they just provide the series for free??
