E3 2012: First Screens of Splinter Cell Black List

Ubisoft unveils firsts images of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Black List, an action-stealth game scheduled on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Doesn't look like it has much stealth..

NYC_Gamer4344d ago (Edited 4344d ago )

It's supposed to be more like Conviction......Ubisoft is just ruining the Tom Clancy brand...It's sad the brand used to produce quality tactical/stealth games.

lastdual4344d ago

Yeah, they got my hopes up when they talked about bringing back moving bodies (a sad state of affairs when such a basic thing is now considered special), but this really just looks like Future Soldier with climbing.

I won't write it off yet, but these shots aren't doing the game any favors. Thankfully we have Deus Ex and soon Dishonored to scratch my itch for real stealth. I need me some crawl spaces and the ability to ghost through stages non-lethally!

SO MUCH STEALTH

*BANG BANG BANG BANG*

shadowwizard4344d ago

PS3? Hells yeah, but game looks like Conviciton, well, we'll see. I would prefer Chaos Theory style, but I guess in todays casual player world, that would be too much to ask.

ThichQuangDuck4344d ago

I do not know how this got so many disagrees, I also hope for a Chaos Theory style single player because I enjoy the style of game play.From what I am lead to believe sales of conviction were not even that good so it would make sense to go to the classic style for the fans hopefully. We will see at ubisofts conference

shadowwizard4344d ago

As you said, Conviciton sales were average so I hoped that Ubisoft might go back to classic style of SC, + I don't care about Agrees and Disagrees, on N4G it's nothing new, these people probably have never played previous Splinter Cell games, which were by the way awesome, Chaos Theory is by far the best, so go and pick up Splinter Cell HD Collection guys. Worth a buy.

ENDERSPROJECT4344d ago

better be better than conviction

MissAubrey4344d ago

sam found the fountain of youth I think...

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - A Decade in the Shadows

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.

CoNn3rB248d ago

Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years

kevco33248d ago

10 years, in fact. He must be, like, 60 by now?

phoenixwing248d ago (Edited 248d ago )

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

zarbor248d ago

Yup, another example that Ubisoft has no idea what they are doing.

MIDGETonSTILTS17248d ago

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?

FYouDad248d ago

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.

Tody_ZA248d ago

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.

Rikimaru-00248d ago

Isn't UBI Soft remaking splinter cell.

Sam Fisher Deserves Better

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Ubisoft, we need to chat. Please, have a seat. Thanks. Ok, so I think you know why you’re here. 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.

UltraNova1488d ago

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!

Psychonaut851488d ago

You know they will though. This is Ubisoft we’re talking about

zachyBROosevelt1488d ago (Edited 1488d ago )

I would love a new splinter cell, maybe even a reboot at this point. Sam Fisher deserves it

Profchaos1488d ago

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

hiawa231488d ago

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.
