From Yahoo.com:
Hollywood seems to think that if it's good enough to be a video game, it's good enough to be a film. The rest of us beg to differ. Most video games simply don't have the mojo to make it as a movie, and weirdly, those that do (God of War, Halo) seem perpetually stuck in development limbo. Meanwhile, the following train wrecks get green-lit, which makes us see red. Roll film!
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.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.
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.
They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.
Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company
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!
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.

Silent Hill does not belong on the same list as these turds. Fail article is fail.
I know some of these are terrible, but when I was a kid, I liked the Mario and Street Fighter movies.
I also felt Silent Hill was a decent film, if nothing but fan service in parts.
I did not mind Wing Commander Silent Hill was alright but I thought Mortal Kombat 2 should have been on that list aswell with Doom. The first Mortal kombat was good but number 2 was a meh in my books.
But God Damn that movie had SOOO Much Hype in the early 90's !
Everyone couldn't wait until Street Fighter came out, especially when word got out that Jean Claude Van Damme (You know, one of the great action guys of the 80's) was going to be in it.
I remember going to the theater on a Friday afternoon when the film opened and practically EVERYONE from my elementary school was at the theater packing it full waiting for Street Fighter.
Silent Hill was a great video game movie. The special features were also very fun to watch. I'm a huge fan of the original (JUST the original), and I still found it to be pretty good. I was SO impressed with the part where she runs through the alleyway, later being attacked by the ash babies. The camera angles are the exact same as the ones in the original game for that part too. That alone pretty much did it for me. Showed that they were paying some sort of attention to their source material.
