MasonicGamer.com: Rezzed 2013 may be an indie focused event but Splinter Cell Blacklist still managed to sneak it’s way onto the lineup. Admittedly Rezzed is also a PC game show but there’s no denying that the focus is on the indies so seeing the big budget Splinter Cell Blacklist hidden away in the over 18 section was rather amusing.
Ubisoft obviously wanted to make the best impression possible so the PC version of Splinter Cell Blacklist was on hand for attendees to try out. It was all running at a nearly perfect 60FPS, picture quality was extremely crisp, it animated beautifully and suffered from no aliasing issues.
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.
Have Better "Game" & "Gameplay" than "Metal Gear Solid 5", yet the story still bad. It needs Giant Robots, and Girls.
Will still be anticipating Blacklist in spite of reading the article with saying " Splinter Cell Blacklist reminds me more of Conviction than the older games, OH NOES!! "
Last Splinter Cell game I bought was Double Agent and honestly it was a humongous disappointment so I did not even bother getting Conviction.
But am a huge Splinter Cell fan especially of the original 3 games which I still play. It's still a long way for release of Blacklist ( September here in Oz ), so will just wait and see till then.
It will be better without Uplay.
Conviction was a decent game but very forgettable, I honestly cannot remember any of the plot or areas in it and I beat it only a year ago. I still remember Pandora tomorrow and I played that so many years ago.
If this one is more Conviction than original Splinter Cell then I'll play it but treat it like just another title to get to rather than something special to thoroughly enjoy and relish.
