Splinter Cell: Blacklist has side missions and may ship without a main menu

A new user-interface system could let players stay in character throughout Splinter Cell and jump between every single mission and mode with ease ... including the franchise's first attempt at side missions.

Getting rid of the main menu could help a lot of with immersion.

SybaRat4116d ago

That's what it sounds like....

Son_Lee4116d ago (Edited 4116d ago )

Hopefully the HUD is optional.

Can we stop calling this game Spinter Cell?

Lets just call it Blacklist. Cause it sure as hell isn't deserving of the Splinter cell brand.

FarCryLover1824116d ago

This is true. Looks better than Conviction though, but still not enough for me. I'm glad the new gamers are enjoying these games since the Splinter cell and sam fisher I once knew are dead.

Cam9774116d ago

It is quite sad really because most of the good stealth games are dying. EG: Hitman: Absolution didn't touch the originals, it was linear and had a terrible checkpoint system. And Splinter Cell. Sigh...

BattleAxe4116d ago

Splinter Cell: Conviction was a fantastic game, you guys are completely out to lunch. I only had a PS3 when it came out and ended up buying it during a Steam Sale and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. It seems like when a game actually comes out with an intuitive control scheme that critics start sliding out from underneath rocks, logs and garbage piles, saying that the stealth genre is dead.....please....

Cam9774116d ago

Let me guess, they want to sell us the menu as DLC?

FarCryLover1824116d ago

Nah, Ubisoft aren't that low....yet.

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.

CoNn3rB260d ago

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

kevco33260d ago

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

phoenixwing260d ago (Edited 260d 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

zarbor260d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17260d 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_ZA260d 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-00260d 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.

UltraNova1500d 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

zachyBROosevelt1500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

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

Profchaos1500d 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

hiawa231500d 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.
