NowGamer: Clint Hocking, mastermind behind Splinter Cell and Far Cry 2, thinks single-player games need trimming down...
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
I hope he is joking.
He asks on his blog: "Why is Fallout 3 a one hundred hour experience?" I'm starting to ask myself the same question. If a movie was that long I'd never consider watching it...
Oh shut the f*** up
If he would have said that game are to expensive to make i could have understood the statement.
Games too long ? For the gamer, certainly not.
People complain games are too short nowadays, and he wants to make them even shorter?
What, he wants 3hr single player games?
