Great. Now make another Splinter Cell GAME!!

[JayRyu]

Agreed! I hope this means there's another game in the works.

[blacktiger]

like at least in development right,

[RaveTears]

I don't know. Ubisoft will somehow make Splinter Cell for a live service.

[JayRyu]

No, please no! Not that.

[Chocoburger]

(*sigh*) That's the problem, indeed.
I want more stealth action games, since Metal Gear series is now dead. But a modern Ubisoft game? Blech!

- EXP Grinding
- Skill point grinding
- Resources for upgrades grinding
- Open world that's absolutely massive and boring to traverse, even with fast travel
- Endless menial side quests that serve no real purpose other than padding / filler to prevent you from trading in the game (if bought on disc) and increase chances to enter the micro-trash-action store
- Paid upgrades in the micro-trash-action store
- 10 different editions to pre-order, and digital pre-order bonuses based on which store you pre-order from

I'm sick of all this Ubisoft shit. I want an Ubisoft 2005-era Splinter Cell game, not an Ubisoft 2020-era Splinter Cell game.

The more we shout for Spilinter cell the more unwanted Assassin Creed we get .
Lets us all ask for more assassin Creed we might actually get a splinter cell instead..

Why is it so hard for Ubisoft to make another Splinter Cell game? Enough with cameo apperances and nonsense like animated series.

[victorMaje]

It’s not hard, they just haven’t figured out how to implement an MT store for it yet...

[warriorcase]

My guess would be Serge Hascoët, Chief Creation Officer, who was recently stood down over the whole Ubisoft investigation shot it down.

Journalists and Ubi employees have are saying he was the head shot caller on what does and doesn't get made. He was the main reason behind the Ubisoft 'formula'. More recently Mark Laidlaw came out and said that it's basically what happened with his King Arthur game.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

Good to know, thanks.

Just a follow up side note: Anyone interested in more details can look up on youtube

HOW ABOUT A NEW GAME? If there's enough interest in the IP to do cameos and a Netflix show, then there's obviously enough interest for a new game.

[Hakuoro]

You have to hand it to Netflix they have a lockdown on video game shows. It's weird to see the reversal it used to be movies and TV got games now games get movies and TV shows. It really reflects the change in culture where games have become the more popular media.

[TheOptimist]

Fans: We want a game
Ubi: Can't hear you over the millions we are making through idiots.

[Double_O_Revan]

This. They haven't made a new game because they haven't figured out how to monetize it enough.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Ironside, Ironside, Ironside. We need the voice.

Got to admit though. Netflix has been doing very well with anime. Ghost in the Shell, Castlevania, Voltron, Ultraman, Altered Carbon,etc. Impressive, original stuff based on other properties.

I'd watch it even though they can't seem to make another game. But will make a zillion Assassin's Creed games. Splinter Cell would also be perfect in VR with night vision and that familiar sound effect of turning your vision on. Classic as Iron Man's Repulsor whine.

[psuedo]

Yeah I'm surprised you're the only one who said anything yet. Ain't splinter cell without Ironside.

[warriorcase]

Hopefully with Serge Hascoët now gone and the reshuffle that needs to happen we finally get some fresh games that aren't required to follow the formula along with revitalized IP's.

[DragonWarrior19]

No thank you. Ubisoft either needs to make a new game or let the series rest in peace. Teasing Sam by coming back in the Ghost Recon games, shoehorning him into that shitty mobile game they announced and now the writer of John Wick? He's going to turn Fisher into a crybaby. It's like they are trying to piss fans off to the point where we stop wanting a new game.
