Splinter Cell boss: "You have to revert back to what you know does work."
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.
I do not expect perfection. That is something not even obtainable. I expect quality. Truly innovative games are seldom in last decade. You know what really keeps people stoked, something new.
Not too many people get all worked up over a 10 year old bashed up sedan with new shiny 20" wheels. The industries biggest issue right now is hanging on to what sells instead of taking chances on the new ideas I know are out there. The industry is full of bright minded creative people. Unfortunately, Corporate greed has wrenched its sweaty pale hands around those who make the whole thing possible and rules this industry also.
i dont expect perfection, i just want a good game that stays true to the roots of the series, nothing is perfect, though i do see a lot of gamers that want everything in a game theyre way and if its not they completly wright it off.
It is true though, aside a few, we need innovation. I like series. I always look forward to what will be next. Don't you want to see and experience something new after... 15 games of the same thing though?
I just want my Classic Splinter Cell as opposed to this Action Shooter with stealth elements we've been given.
You can innovate...make a new IP. Don't take a perfectly good series and changing everything but the name....looking at you Capcom as well.
