GX:Splinter Cell is back. A group of terrorists from 12 nations have had enough of America’s military presence in two thirds of the world, and have given America an ultimatum. To withdraw, or face what they have called ‘The Blacklist.’ A series of escalating attacks on U.S interests. The president has already shut down Third Echelon and all other clandestine operations to appease the terrorists. At least that’s what they think. Step in Sam Fisher, the leader of Fourth Echelon; A new top secret unit answering directly to the president. Their mission is simple. Stop the terrorists at all costs. Splinter Cell Conviction set a new direction for the series in 2010, moving away from the hardcore stealth action that had helped it define a genre, and gain a devoted fan base. Blacklist is continuing on this path, but is this simply Ubisoft trying to replicate the success of Assassin's Creed with a different character? Or does it do enough to keep the series devoted following happy. Here’s ou...
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.
This was lame and provided nothing new and it was pointless!
