Ubisoft attempted to streamline the experience and introduce a lot of action sequences in order to attract more gamers to it. Naturally, the French company tried to convince everyone that this was still the Splinter Cell game they knew and fell in love with. However, the company revealed at the Eurogamer Expo event that the franchise is no longer centered around its stealth roots."
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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!
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 could tell Splinter Cell was no longer about core stealth gameplay soon as Conviction was announced
Shame really because I loved it routes of the first game and pandora tomorrow.
As they say, admitting is the first step to recovery ;D
that is weird because i seen plenty of stealth movement in the game demo, there was 2 routes you can go through demo, they just showed the action style route stupidly first
oh wait you got be dark house in dark room for it be stealthy right? ah right, you got to have small corridor so you can do the splits above someone in yet again a dark hallway, on dark night for it be stealthy right?
please.....
the only issue people should have with this game is loss of Ironside
Tweaking a game to keep it fresh is a good thing.
Completely changing a game and keeping the name sucks.
What's next? Assassins creed with machine guns?
Or prince of Persia with cars?
Splinter cell is supposed to be a STEALTH game!
