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".
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
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?
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.
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.
The MS conference demo didn't impress me; looks like a pretty by-the-numbers sequel, with even less emphasis on stealth than Conviction.
I hate Splinter Cell: Blacklist, I wanted something like Chaos Theory !
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.
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.
