Deadline and various movies news websites have been reporting that Doug Liman has signed on to direct and produce the Tom Hardy vehicle Splinter Cell.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage appears to be adopting a key Splinter Cell mechanic, which is great news for the characterization of Basim on PS5 and Xbox.
Splinter Cell is the most innovative stealth series to ever grace this industry, why this is high time for a mobile port we'll discuss here
cool
WELL about DARN TIME we get a great Director directing a Video Game movie.
Now all I hope for is a GREAT script and some really good actors.
and for Gaming Heaven's sakes DO NOT attach Mark Walberg or Shia Lebouef to this movie.
Glad to see Tom hardy as Sam Fisher. NICE!
"Iwanyk has produced The Town, The Expendables series, and The Clash of the Titans remakes. So it is easy to say that with this writer and producer, Ubisoft Motion Pictures has gotten serious talent who has experience with bigger budget affairs."
O_o
The Town was good, but did these guys see The Expendables or the Clash of the Titans films?
Experience and talent are not always the same thing.
I'm not so sure about tom hardy though lol let's just hope its good
