Stealth games as people know them are dying and, rather ironically, you may not have even noticed. It’s been a slow decline for the shadow skulking, light destroying genre, but they simply don’t get made that much any more. What used to be powerful franchises are now little but fond memories or warped variations of what once was. So, what happened?
What's next? The prevail of Call of Duty?
Chronicles of Riddick, one of the best, most underrated, and higly-surpising BEST film-based game, and stealth game.
Perhaps Syphon Filter??? I mean Metal Gear was before that but I felt Syphon Filter was larger then Thief. And I do agree that older stealth games of a series have slowly progressed to more run and gun type of games. I did like how in Crysis you had the choice because of the nano-suit. Personally I liked to be very stealthy in that game.
Where the hell are Tenchu & Hitman? wasn't Hitman announced/rumoured the other day? still where are they, been waiting.
Oh no I've noticed.
I think MGS4 was the last stealth game I played.
The genre is seriously lacking these days.
EDIT: Acutally Splinter Cell Conviction was the last stealth game I played.
