Splinter Cell: Blacklist is Set to Impress | gamrReview

gamrReview: "From what you’ve just read it’s easy to see that I’m very excited for Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist. After my short time witnessing the game first hand I already believe that Ubisoft may just have created the most real, engaging and innovative Splinter Cell in a very long time".

The MS conference demo didn't impress me; looks like a pretty by-the-numbers sequel, with even less emphasis on stealth than Conviction.

Kantor4350d ago

I'm not sure how much further they can go with stealtht to be honest.

Machina4350d ago

Do we really need another standard TPS series tho? :/

Walker4350d ago

I hate Splinter Cell: Blacklist, I wanted something like Chaos Theory !

General Shrooms4350d ago

I'm with ya, if they don't deliver with Spy vs Mercs then I'm not buying it.

ThichQuangDuck4350d ago

After the Blacklist gameplay and their damage control I have come to terms that chaos theory will never happen again. They have given up on stealth and sold out which is sad since sales were better when it was stealthy. The lead working on the game compared chaos theory to playing as a grandma vs a predator in new games. Chaos Theory was perfection, they should just remake it on a new engine than I will forget all the new shit they are doing. Spies vs mercs is the only possible reason for me getting it

Well, to be honest, while I agree this game looks good, this has split a lot of people.

I've seen people complaining that it isn't the original voice actor for one.

But the main thing is lack of stealth. I know Splinter Cell has seemingly become less and less stealthy through the series, but that was what the game was originally about, and should at least retain the OPTION to be stealthy.

However, I do see the issue. What more can they do with stealth? There's only so much sneaking you can do before it really isn't unique. Also, enemies just seem to be really dumb for the stealth, magically not seeing you because your in a slight shadow and stuff.

ThichQuangDuck4350d ago

Play Chaos Theory and tell me the AI is dumb considering it is on Xbox then even double agent then ask yourself why the AI actually gets dumber as the games progress

hennessey864350d ago

any more, its to action orientated. I just hope they do include some stealth levels because that action point and click shit won't cut it.

NYC_Gamer4350d ago (Edited 4350d ago )

Ubisoft is just ruining the Tom Clancy brand

h311rais3r4350d ago

Basically. They're just shooters now. No tactics what so ever at all. Just KILL EM ALL gameplay. May chaos theory rip...

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.

CoNn3rB259d ago

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

kevco33259d ago

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

phoenixwing259d ago (Edited 259d 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

zarbor259d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17259d 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?

FYouDad259d 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_ZA259d 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-00259d 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.

UltraNova1499d 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!

Psychonaut851499d ago

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

zachyBROosevelt1499d ago (Edited 1499d ago )

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

Profchaos1499d 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

hiawa231499d 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.
