Dammit Michael, if only you were younger.

This is just spin from Ubi Soft. They still could have used his voice regardless with reasonable success with another actor doing the motion capture.

It was clear Michael Ironside had some issues with the last games direction and he never voiced the original trailer for Conviction as a result. He clearly feels his character has run it's course OR Ubi Soft just didn't want the same hassle that he caused in script changes like the last game.

The lack of Michael Ironside and this new 'action' direction the series is heading has put me off and they won't be getting my money.

Mr_Kuwabara4396d ago

He might play a good motion captured Major Zero though.

It's sad but I understand why they did it.

ThichQuangDuck4396d ago

Realistically it is because Beland wanted to make sam a predator rather than "grandma" hiding in the shadows in chaos theory. Chaos Theory is my favorite game of all time wish stealth was back like they claim but they will have to prove that to me and other fans. I am glad they are at least bringing back spies vs mercs

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.

Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years

kevco33302d ago

10 years, in fact. He must be, like, 60 by now?

phoenixwing302d ago (Edited 302d 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

zarbor302d ago

Yup, another example that Ubisoft has no idea what they are doing.

MIDGETonSTILTS17302d 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?

FYouDad302d 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.

RNTody302d 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.

Isn't UBI Soft remaking splinter cell.

Sam Fisher Deserves Better

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Ubisoft, we need to chat. Please, have a seat. Thanks. Ok, so I think you know why you’re here. 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.

UltraNova1542d ago

MGS is done, at least as we know it so it's now or never Ubi, give Fisher the reboot it deserves. And for Gods sake, don't you dare turn Splinter Cell into another Division/Ghost reckon online abomination instead of a SP focused steath action game!

Psychonaut851542d ago

You know they will though. This is Ubisoft we’re talking about

zachyBROosevelt1542d ago (Edited 1542d ago )

I would love a new splinter cell, maybe even a reboot at this point. Sam Fisher deserves it

Profchaos1542d ago

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

hiawa231542d ago

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.
