When I walked into an empty West Hall before Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 started, I was floored by the large banner for Splinter Cell: Conviction. I realized then that Conviction was a real thing and we were definitely going to hear more about it very soon. We did.
What I didn’t catch at the time was just how old Sam Fisher looked. And old he is. According to a developer for the game who spoke with VG247 on the show’s floor, Fisher is in his 50s during the events of Conviction. Whoa.
When we saw the game we didn’t notice any objectives relating to his age. Nope, we never saw Fisher obtaining bottles of Metamucil, finding canes, sleeping at inappropriate times with mouth wide open, or even forgetting where he sat his bowl of oatmeal. Instead, we saw Fisher rocking dudes like a youngster.
And you know what? We didn’t mind. You probably won’t either.

It's 60, with its bus-passes, pension queues and hair loss, that is the definition of 'old'.
just saying..
