All I wanna know is if I can be non lethal. Conviction is my least favorite game in the series because you had no choice but to murder every single enemy, and I adored Splinter Cell in the past because you could go through the entire game without killing anyone. If Blacklist continues the trend, I'm dropping the series.
I am totally blown away by the fact that Michael Ironside will not be in this game.. I find it very strange, but I understand all the difficulties he would have had and why he did not want to with the latest style of camera and voice separate.. but damn.. No Ironside??
I dunno i am really liking ubisoft at the mo, with games like ac3 and far cry 3 coming out this year and then watchdogs they seem to be going n a awesome direction in my opinion.... But i am a massive splintercell fan and this blacklist just hasnt caught me, just looks too explosive, i mean i know there saying that its a misconception but just doesnt look right...
I don't think you do that; tell the people who're dropping money for your product they're wrong. The game looks like an action-fest, just like Conviction. I HOPE the game's good, but even as a straight-up shooter is looks boring.
I remember thinking when I saw the vid that it was over the top action packed, and it felt like a big departure from the old Splinter Cell. Did they feel they needed to compete with more exciting action titles?
Well, MGS: Ground Zeroes is definitely the new king of stealth action. So at this point I couldn't care less about Splinter Cell.

Huh, that's funny from what I can tell the industry has become short and tiny.

Well... yea. They haven't played the game yet, and all they've seen is a couple short demos. They are uninformed. So inform us.
Deus Ex 3 was fucking fantastic, and it was Hollywood-ified. I see no reason why Blacklist can't be in the same boat. For fans expecting something more like the first three Spliter Cell's, I can definitely see how this would be disappointing thus far. Hopefully that will change once we know more.
tl;dr calm the fuck down, kiddies

>>promotes game with small trailer.
>>gets mad when people judge the game based on the small trailer.

Of course, there is the fact that the footage of a ghost play-through of the same level has been around for a LONG time now. Maybe they just haven't advertised it enough for people to notice and stop whining.
While I enjoyed Conviction, and will probably enjoy this game, it is just not what I want from a Splinter Cell game. I want to be methodical, careful, and tactical. I want to spend 40 minutes shadowing a level and completing objectives without killing a single person or getting spotted. I want the thematics and mechanics of Chaos Theory ramped up to 11, with a sound/light meter, a movement speed gradient, and I want Sam to be vulnerable.
What they did to Sam as a character for this game and Conviction is just gross. They didn't need to reboot him in to some young looking super hero. In fact, if they went with a whole new character the game probably would have been received better.
Sam's daughters death was honestly one of the most brutal and heart-wrenching scenes in any game, and it humanized him so well. It was something we could all relate to and project on to ourselves; the sudden loss of a loved one, the element of their death completely out of your control. Then they turned it in to some ridiculous fucking conspiracy theory bullshit, which added absolutely nothing to the story or gameplay.
It's safe to say Ubisoft have lost the plot for Splinter Cell, and it's now basically Assassins Creed in the future.

@Skribble - I actually liked that Sam's daughter was alive. It was emotional to go through thinking she was dead, finding out it was a ruse to protect her, then reuniting seeing a pure moment of happiness for Fisher.
I thought Ubisoft wrapped up Fisher's story terrifically in Conviction and should have been retired into a supporting role for this game. But, whatever. As long as they stay true to the core of the character and series rather than the continuity of it all, that's fine.

This game will suck. No Michael Ironside, then it's not Sam Fisher. Just give him another name and heck while you're at it, call the game something else. Splinter Cell, this is not.
On one hand it was rumored that there was pressure at E3 for every game too look like Uncharted. Why that would be the case I have no idea but gamers are still upset about that. However, since I've never played SC, I have no idea what it's supposed to look like. But from most accounts it was the best stealth game of it's time... why turn it into an action game at all? It's bad enough that Resident Evil can't even seem to get things right, now everyone else has to copy what's wrong with the industry in order to "make" money? How are you making money by copying everyone else? As I recall there wasn't much stealth left in MGS4 either, and if there's no diversity in games... everyone loses.
lol. The internet making snap judgements, reactions and being overtly opinionated without any real information or knowledge?
Say it ain't so!
