Does the Destructoid community care about "interactive" torture scene?
I mean Sam going around torturing dudes is pretty bad. It would be interesting if there was so kind of repercussion for all the brutality in the story but there won't be will there?
we should be able to choose not to torture the guy instead of choosing to kill or knock him out.

My only complaint, and it's a minor one, at this point is the voice.
Im going to miss Ol Ironside.
Dude even had the perfect last name.

Running in broad daylight, shooting dudes in the face, murdering dogs, STEALTH ACTION MOTHERFUCKERS.
I'm guessing one of Sam's conditions was also reconstructive surgery as that Sam looks nothing like he Sam should look as he would be almost in his late 60's by now. Ironside also asked Ubi to humanize Sam a bit, with him gone guess we can go on to the full torture porn that all the 12 year olds love.
No light meter, no sound meter, ONE BUTTON EXECUTION BITCHES, STEALTHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, and no Ironside, so no thank you, I will be avoiding this.

@Kyo
It's funny because having no light/sound meter could be seen as more "hardcore". Or streamlined, in a good way.
Either one works. I don't see it as a bad thing.
I'm also excited for this considerably. I mean, you don't have to play it with running and slick kills. You can take your time with it as well, and there seemed to be a couple moments where you could venture off somewhere else.
So there's a short, explosive action sequence at the end. ERMAHGERD. And day-time levels? ... we've kinda had those before, only now it's more emphasized which could prove more interesting than yet another mostly dark Splinter Cell.
Although, I will echo most others in their complaint of no Ironside. Nobody else can be Sam. Nobody.

I loved Conviction, so I hope Blacklist has all the stuff I enjoyed, which was everything. Lots of fun doing co-op.
I've bought every major Splinter Cell release since the 1st. I love classic Splinter Cell 1-3. Enjoyed Double Agent's twist on the series. I liked Conviction's Story the best. I'll probably like this too. That said I really wish they'd make an XBLA classic Splinter Cell gameplay with new maps/missions.
Post-Conviction is good, but frankly it's just not the classic Splinter Cell that I love. Just watch gameplay of one of the 1st 3 and then watch this. As for Ironside, I still think it's bullshit that he can't still be Sam Fisher for the sake of realism. Unfortunatly Splinter Cell hasn't been a leader in super-realistic graphics since maybe 3. I'd sooner see it revert to Xbox graphics than drop the voice of the series.

I think I remember hearing this was a prequel... I think? If so, that can explain the age "reboot".
No Ironside was a bad move, though.

I hope they don't push it back to any (as yet) non-existent consoles.
I've only recently got into the series and I'm sorry that the first one I am likely to buy on launch will not include Ironside.

No Ironside as Sam, no purchase.
They could have just introduced a new character if Ironside was leaving, but nooooope, they decided to re-represent Sam as gung ho, something Ironside has always hated and changed with his input.

Also, people, lets not forget YAY LETS KILL MIDDLE EASTERNS AND SAVE AMERICA.
This is so vapid and lacking any finesse they should be ashamed to use the splinter cell name,

I'm looking forward to this, HOWEVER, I'm worried we won't be able to have a non-lethal option for those who want to avoid killing. I don't see why Ubisoft didn't just have a new protagonist as a Splinter Cell (Conviction tied up Sam's personal arc wonderfully), or, at the very least, reboot the series so Ironside's departure from the role wouldn't be as abrupt. I don't even hate the new guy they have, but why not have him voice a new character and Ironside's Fisher provide backup over the radio? Fisher should be in his late 50's/early 60's by now, so the writers are really pushing plausibility in that area.
Agrees with CH Gorog.
I think I have to remind apparent fans of the Splinter Cell series that Sam called an air-strike in Chaos Theory. So, there is nothing unusual about that. There is also nothing unusual about forced combat scenes.

If they execute it well, I think that the combat options are a good thing. In older splinter cell games, if you were spotted, you pretty much had to load the last checkpoint. In conviction, however, it just meant you had to engage in some fairly challenging gunfights. Especially on higher difficulties, the gunfights were hard enough that stealth was always the better option. Of course, i would have liked more non-lethal options and less linear levels, but overall I enjoyed conviction, and I think i will enjoy Blacklist.
They could have left Sam as adviser and replace the dude on the field, that way his re-invention would make sense, right now he's a late 60's guy who looks like he's 30.
FUCK UBISOFT!!!! I refuse to buy any of their games, even if the start going DRM-free. That would just mean they've discovered something EVEN WORSE!!!
What Kyos last comment said. I've dealt with SC not being the series I love anymore. I'll always have chaos theory (my fav), but ditching Ironside, making Sam magically younger and focusing on even more action is stupid. I really hope I truly can stealth more so than action movie hero it. Conviction was a good game, I hope this is.better.
