Something that interests gamers is the ability to make choices within a game in order to progress the game and the choices in the game lead to changes in gameplay. This kind of ability to choosing has previously been seen in games like Mass Effect 3 where you have a red and a blue choice showing which is evil and which is good.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Having a choice doesn't make a game "darker" per se, it gives the player a choice to make the game darker. Besides, this is more like Army of two or InFamous where the choice manifests itself in physical actions all of the time, instead of like Mass Effect where your choice can talk you out of situations.
I like darker. Gives the games more weight IMO. But Splinter Cell has always been a pretty heavy franchise. The E3 demo was pretty cool.
Ho-Hum.
It happened in Chaos Theory.
It was done more in Double Agent.
Oh yeah. Where's the actual Splinter Cell game? I think this might've been accidentally shown instead.
What now? Sam never killed anyone really until ConViction. From like 2002-2007 (in Splinter Cell's timeline) he never killed someone. In ConViction, he killed 100's of poor GUARDS and some purely evil people. What is he going to do now? Call in an airstrike on an orphanage to save some intel or whatever?
