- It kind of feels like Ubisoft is just making fun of us at this point, right? Sam Fisher is now in Ghost Recon, Elite Squad, Rainbow Six, and an upcoming VR game, but he still hasn't been in his own standalone Splinter Cell game since 2013. It's almost like Ubisoft knows that fans like the character but forget that they like him because they enjoy Splinter Cell.
In the video above, Jake Dekker expresses his exasperation at the lack of Splinter Cell games in recent years, especially in the face of Ubisoft continuing to support its other major tentpole franchises like Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, Far Cry, The Division, and Assassin's Creed. From a financial standpoint, sure, it makes sense. Splinter Cell doesn't sell as well. That doesn't change the fact that Ubisoft has left Splinter Cell fans thirsty for a drop of content for nearly a decade.
Jake posits a few theories as to why Ubisoft hasn't returned to Splinter Cell for quite some time--namely that, until quite recently, all of Ubisoft games were being developed with an almost singular gameplay philosophy that goes against the Splinter Cell style. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has also said that Ubisoft felt a bit of fan pressure while constructing 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist, which may be another possible influence on the developer's decision to steer clear of the franchise ever since.
As of right now, Ubisoft plans to conclude 2020 with three open world action games releasing back to back. In October, you'll be able to take part in a hacker revolution in Watch Dogs Legion. Then in November, Assassin's Creed Valhalla transports the franchise to the time of Vikings. Finally, December's Immortals Fenyx Rising is a Greek mythology-inspired game that plays awfully similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. But no Splinter Cell. Not this year, anyway.

Thank you for stopping by! There's one thing I feel the need to mention here. I wrote this script before the Splinter Cell VR game got announced. I did add a few lines that address it, but I think my argument still stands. Even if the VR game is excellent, it certainly won't be what me and fans are looking for.
With that said, what do you hope to see in a new Splinter Cell?
Sam in his younger days
Something like Chaos Theory, a classic, mission based Stealth game with some obvious new improvements but still that great core game-play that Chaos Theory perfected.
A Chaos Theory like game mixed in with Blacklist and MGSV, maybe make it exclusive to PS5 so that you can have even more precision in your shots or be better at stealth (be able to sense when feet hit the ground).
Can you do DRIVER next?
If they really want some kind of progression system. They could drop Ssm in a open world with no gear and he'd have to adopt a "on site procurement" that thd mgs games used to have. How about also a tight linear story driven game that turns into a open world after the endgame events of said linear story. Now there's all these factions and shit that are created after Sam dealt with their leaders oe something..
Ubisoft doesn’t have the creative genius to remake this IP for today’s audience. Their games lack any soul and Splinter Cell can’t be pushed into an open world semi RPG so they are just ignoring him.
no no no，ubisoft just dont think splinter cell can sold as well as AC or wd games. In fact splinter cell chaos theory's director Clint howking is now the creative director of watch dogs legion.
I feel like the only studio that could undertake the SP ip is Montreal. Quebec definitely can't. The only thing is that Montreal are mostly working on the new assassins creeds and helping to push out all the other Tom Clancy games and watch dogs games. They are just too busy to dedicate that much resource to make it worthwhile atm.
What up g!
Open world could work the developers are just focused on money instead of bringing creativity to the genre
@@h81872 well they keep putting money into generic flops like the newest ghost recon game so i don't understand why they couldn't take a risk with something unique like the did with rainbow six siege.
I've given up on the series making a comeback. They just using him as a sales pitch for other games now.
Same with Assassins creed name it doesn’t even feel like it anymore but they still have the name
watch out for the scam
Sad but true
same
@@Sir_Arsene lmao it's getting ridiculous
Ubisoft said “make something different than what you’ve done before”. Yet every Ubisoft game is an open world RPG looter game. Don’t forget the towers to uncover the map. This is why we need a new splinter cell for some variety. I’d even like a new hawx game for something different from the usual
Notice how every Ubisoft game is an open world / RPG now? The problem isn't just the sales...it's the ability to recoup costs as AAA games become more and more costly to make. Ubisoft now hedges on safer bets like Far Cry and AC because these are games so wide in genre. Why play stealth in Splinter Cell when you can also play stealth in AC and Far Cry? Why make a solely stealth-focused game when it can only cater to a niche market that way?
You can see Hitman as another example of the stealth genre dying. They had Absolution which almost disregarded the stealth elements, and similiar we had Splinter Cell Conviction. And both of these games actually SOLD better compared to their sequels that tried to return back to the stealth roots (Blacklist, Hitman 2).
TDLR; as games get more costly to make, devs are less willing to make a game focused solely on a niche genre. That's also why you may notice most games all trying to be open world RPG levelling up ...whatever everything these days
If their do bring out a new one at some point it will probably just end up like a modern Assassin's creed with guns.
Ubisoft are the definition of being creatively bankrupt
@Ghost I think because their game as service model makes most of their games feel like the same game. These days you see the most creativity from them when their work on rayman and south park and such.
Well when I went from playing far cry 5 too assassin's creed odyssey it felt like I was playing the same game in terms of level structure and disign and types. The only thing that was different for me was the combat and the ship stuff. I felt the same about breakpoint and division 2.
This more or less echos my thoughts. I’d like a new SC, but I don’t trust modern Ubisoft to do it right. Here’s hoping the VR game proves me wrong
Watched your video, I agree
We're in this weird position where we just want a new game, but we know we'll be disappointed by whatever comes out if they make one
Chief half life Alyx didn’t disappointed its fans, using Vr was a huge improvement for the franchise after all these years
Personally, I don't really want a VR splinter cell game. Firstly, I play on xbox so I won't even be able to play it. Secondly, its probably going to play very differently from past games. Hanging of ledges and climbing pipes will be weird and disorienting in VR. Alyx did well because half life was already an FPS before VR. With SC, we are going from third person stealth to (probably) first person action.
Chief Check out espire 1 or the climb, especially that stuff feels really cool in Vr
Petition for someone to remake chaos theory, preferably Bluepoint.
oh fuck yes
The original trilogy would be great. Especially if they brought more chaos theory into the first two games.
@@jarg8 Yeah 100%
Daniel Adams they did great with uncharted.
Would love to see Bluepoint take this
I agree with almost everything. Except for the Michael Ironside part. He skipped Blacklist because of health reasons. I want to see him return, but if he can't, he can't. And I'm okay with recasting the role.
Yeah or even having a new protagonist with Sam having fewer moments as a mentor character or something. Briggs was kind of a typical GI Joe type character but he was still badass and pretty fleshed out in Blacklist. I would definitely be cool with him as the next main guy kinda like how Bruce Wayne is the old mentor in Batman Beyond
If they can't get Michael Ironside then just retire Sam Fisher or get some one to play Sam Fisher that actually sounds close to Michael Ironside because Eric Johnson was a disaster as Sam Fisher in Blacklist IMHO.
Sam Fisher without M. Ironside is like Master Chief without Steve Downes.
Just sad...
I don't think they really have to do a new game with Sam. C'mon, we all need a master stealth game, Sam is amazing, but they can end Sam's story and start another one if it's a problem to get a creative game.
Stealth games are lacking so much today that any SC based game would be awesome!
PREACH
All the Jakes need to rise up
Found you
I knew I would find you here jake
Man when Sam said "Its only me" that hit me hard.
Great journalism. I love Splinter Cell PS2 days. Pandora Tomorrow is my favorite. Great video!
I agree that taking inspiration from MGS5 is a great idea. Drop Sam (or a new agent who Sam has trained) behind enemy lines in a large, interesting, hostile location like Shadow Moses Island. It'd be amazing.
There will be a new SC game when they can figure out how to monetize it.
you have to pay to turn the lights out
@@finn1708 Damn..😂
@Ghost we have plenty of evidence like entire games this gen that have monetizations like time savers fucks sake look at breakpoint or 60 mtx store with free broken game, well see but im not holding my breath.
The title says “Where the hell”
Lol what a knee slapper
Nabil Ahmad Did you somehow get a joking tone from my comment? i was just pointing it our for them.
Dammit, I caught this last night before it went up and changed it. I guess I forgot to hit save. Thank you!
Jacob Dekker Yallll welcome 😃
yeah,,, I did lol I was just adding humor that wasn't there. I was unaware you worked for Gamespot lol no need to be a jerk about it.
I'm glad that I am not the only one who misses classic Splinter Cell games...
We need sequels like how the Hitman and Hitman 2 were executed: full of choices to approach expanding on an existing unique great formula of gameplay. At the same time, it is 2020 and for publishers, Single Player games (that too something niche as stealth) with offline modes just don't help them meet their fiscal targets. Shareholders > gamers; Every publishers is forced to build either looter shooters or battle royals or games with core based on microtransactions.
Play ghost recon then
Seriously, the major thing Ubisoft needs to understand for a Splinter Cell game, and Michael Ironside said himself, "I Never Left. I Am Sam Fisher."
What i loved about chaos theory was sam's movements. So mooth and responsive. And the way he would change his crouch-walking to a ''creeping'' as he approaches an enemy, his hand slowly reaching for his blade as you shadow him ... AND WHEN YOU STOPPED MOVING SAM WOULD LITTERALY FREEZE MID-MOVEMENT LIKE A STATUE. See its the little details like that that made chaos theory so unique. The score was the best and omg the guard conversations and interrogations were hilarious.
You literally just summed up everything i loved about these games man. I forgot about the way he would reach for his blade and how the movement felt. Wish they would at least remaster these games
That feeling when your creeping up on a guard heart pounding cos its the 100th time you've tried the mission stealthy 😂
Oh, man... I've couldn't agree more.
I really miss the splinter cell games. From my point of view, these games are some of the most exciting and interesting games of all time.
Plus, I really think the world's current geopolitical scene paves the way to a whole lot of interesting storyes to be told.
I've said several times and I'll say it again, give us Remastered Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory with Spies vs Mercs. I'd pay $70 on day 1. And this will last me for the next 5 to 10 years depending on the community
NEED SPIES VS MERCS
yesssirrrr!!!!
YES!!!!! Pandora tomorrow was the best online game ever
You can play them all in 4K on the Xbox One X or Series X. However, they still have the original textures.
@@GlobalGaming101 huh? You’re saying they still have online servers up for that game? Lol
Just give me Chaos Theory 2, that's all I want!
I'm imagining a reboot of the originals. Imagine a remastered CIA headquarters, basic gear and a non-lethal order. Hmmm
Option 1 - Release multiplayer only, A refreshed Chaos Theory but not dumbed down.
Option 2 - Make it open world, Sam is the boss and you play a recruit. You can customize, unlock moves, weapons, gadgets, etc. BUT it must include a Chaos Theory multiplayer.
Great video. Agree completely, and I think you nailed it-- Splinter Cell doesn't easily lend itself to the open world, overly-monetized, RPG grind-a-thons Ubisoft favors these days. Simply put, they don't know what do do with this franchise. It doesn't fit their preferred games model and they haven't figured out a way to modernize it as a profit center, so it languishes in a purgatory of sorts. Not dead, but not active either. Dormant. I used to think it would return eventually, but that hope grows dimmer with each passing month and year.
The VR game feels especially cruel given Ubisoft surely knows by now that's not what the fanbase really wants. Hint: not a VR game. And I hate seeing Sam Fisher crudely pasted into other Tom Clancy games in a rather transparent attempt to generate more interest in a flagging title (see Ghost Recon Breakpoint). Is that really all Splinter Cell is now? Some shiny DLC?
Honestly, at this point, as much as I miss this franchise and want it to return, if this is the way Ubisoft is going to treat such a cherished IP, I'd rather they just announce the franchise is dead and be done with it. That would at least allow us to no longer waste any more time waiting for a miracle.
Cheers.
Imagine, chaos theory and double agent remakes
would be great, any game after that just wasnt the same
I just bought chaos theory about a month ago just to replay the masterpiece that it was 🔥🔥👍👍
I picked it up for less than $5
pandora tomorrow and the train mission. Oh boy.
Got it for free from ubisoft
No sam fisher.. No longer interested in splinter cell without him..
He had Briggs to
That’s dumb. Seeing how splinter cell is a program. That’s like saying you only like a certain 007 actor
@@brizzle711 it's just that Sam and Ironside are the thing that really made it work on another level. Just the little quips and funny interrogations are such a special little thing. So understated and yet so important to the way each level progresses.
JNK117 you’re completely right but let’s say a new recruit in the splinter cell program...we would still buy it.
@@brizzle711 I guess it definitely is more of a design issue for me. If it's open world, I'm out. But I really grew up with those first 3 splinter cell games and I just remember how slowly it went from "that guy has a cool voice" to "this guy has a lot of personality to him". Splinter Cell is the only example of a Tom Clancy IP really getting away from the standard, stiff, and formal speak in favor of really palpable characters. What those games lacked in story, they made up for in overall clever quips and banter. Ironside also really cared about Sam and pushed Ubisoft consistently in the story and visual design departments because he wanted Sam to really stand out. It just can't be understated how central to SC he is.
Bring micheal Ironside back!
Honestly as much as id love a new splintercell id be perfectly fine with a remastered version. Maybe they could remaster Splinter cell 1,2 and 3 in a collection or something. Id throw my money at that
So Sam is old and the last of his kind. What if they made Splinter Cell: Rookies. Sam is now the an instructor. You could then have creator creation, Co op, Multi player, progression, and well everything the fans want. And for the die hard Sam fans they could add single player DLC missions playing as him or whatever.
Rookies, that's what I assume when I play blacklist, I just imagine the main guy is some other splinter cell, with same name as fisher
Personally I would like to something new and original, which can still be done using the format. like adding some of the skill sets and features from watchdogs legions. I was just spit balling an idea that would be some what of a compromise between ubisoft and the fans.
I think Nomad from Ghost recon might be the next 4th Echelon Agent since he is the latest student of Sam Fisher.
I wanted this. Sam feels too powerful, more superhero than man. I’d rather play a rookie.
Honestly Microsoft should buy the Splinter Cell IP.
DUDE imagine if they gave it to Arkane, this Diahonored devs... that would be fucking sweet
I really just miss spy vs mercs :(
A Splinter Cell game with Hitmans small open map based missions sounds amazing and of course Michael Ironside performance as Sam.
maybe a stupid question but who is Michael Ironside, is he the voice actor?
@@ceheginable no worries but yeah he has played Sam Fisher through pretty much all games, for most fans including myself he is Sam. Just as David Hayter is Snake in the MGS games
@@TenBear oh ok thx ^^
Im TOO TOO Splinter Cell fan,great video and i LIKED ALOT Thanks so much and HAPPY NEW YEAR😉👍👍👍👍
“I can’t make a faithful appearance to save my life, argus set” -Fam Sisher
i remember playing the 1st SC game on OG xbox and was so enthralled by its gameplay at the time. I loved to jump kicks off the wall....(which was stupid that they took that feature away after the 1st game) the story was sweet, rugged, macho, spy stuff this made me moist with joy. Oh and this guy Jacob Dekker I completely agree with u on keeping the OG voice actor. I also thought that of the voice actor who played solid snake Haytor was the best at doing snake I cant believe they went in another direction its why I have never played MS5.
I was one of the few ppl who bought SC blacklist for the ps3. Absolutely loved it. The action was exhilarating and the stealth was so great 👍🙌
Splinter cell blacklist one of the best game ever ❤️
Ubisoft is stupid for not capitalizing on something that makes a lot of sense. Why not make the next entry be about Sam trying to stop the “dollar flu” from the division before it spreads. Clearly he fails but introduces the tech in the division to Sam disposal as well as being him into the universe as well since it’s more grounded. That would have put him on a global scale and allowed for multi player like previous interactions like blacklist and conviction. They could even use him in later interaction of the division with better purpose than an of the other cameo’s he has done, because at that point it’s all about fixing his failed mission for him.
I'M THE BIGGEST COWARD YOU'VE EVER MET
"That's quite a claim"
I JUST WET MYSELF
"well..... You just made the top ten"
They could try to alternate mission areas with an open world like Thief 3- but that was probably peoples' least favorite thing about that game.
Where the hell, indeed
I'd love to play as Briggs with Sam Fisher as more of a mentor.
Anyone remember syphon filter?
Thank you for making this video but honestly Ubisoft doesn't understand words, they only understand stats and money and that's why they're gonna fail, at least with how they're operating right now. But we'll see, hope the future is brighter.
I think the things which people would list as "negatives" about Splinter Cell today we're its biggest strengths back in the day, and still could be. They just have to be tackled right.
People don't want to customise Sam Fisher, they want to be as close to the original as possible.
If Ubisoft base their future direction for splinter cell purely on the games, then they're missing out on a whole other side of the coin.
If anybody has read the Splinter Cell novels, they will know exactly what I'm talking about. They obviously do a lot of character building and show the bigger picture when it comes to his personal life and missions.
An open world style gameplay based in several locations around the world could be perfectly workable. This would include elements of more traditional detective work and hiding in plain sight.
Specific missions and "side quests" (for lack of a better word) could be approached from the stealth angle.
The biggest fault with Blacklist was they made a complete U-turn in the way of character building by changing Sam's voice actor (obviously unavoidable at the time for Michael Ironside).
Also, bring back Lambert.
If Fast and Furious can raise characters from the dead, so too can Splinter Cell.
I never understood how Sam Fisher can see out of that 3rd eye... 🤨
It’s simply an icon, three dots in the shadows to distinguish Sam Fisher. Ubisoft or whoever came up with that, an author idk maybe Clancy but whoever originally came up with that a job well done. But I have wondered that when I was younger haha
Swear to god, Ubisoft better watch this video and make another Splinter Cell game. There has been a lack of stealth games lately and i really miss the MGSV and Blacklist experience
For real! Thank you for making this video!!! I no joke thought everyone forgot about splinter cell. What a great game
Why not a Hitman style game? Linear sandbox levels across varying locations. I think Hitman is actually doing pretty good sales wise too.
Depends who you ask. Square Enix famously dropped Io Interactive because Hitman underperformed.
I just love stealthing around with sam , I don’t care about upgrades .
There can't be a Splinter Cell game without the voice of Michael Ironside, his voice gives strength to Sam's character, and it is what players are more used to. When I played Blacklist I just couldn't see or get the feeling of Sam Fisher, it felt like a new character and he was always so angry...
Look at how successful the recent Hitman games have been. They just need to give Splinter Cell the Hitman treatment!
I don't understand I absolutely LOVED Blacklist but I guess it didn't sell well enough :(
Sam Fisher without Michael Ironside is like Snake without David Hayter...oh, wait
" Kept you waiting, huh?"
This is a really great video but i think theres a lot more to why Splinter Cell won't be rebooted or continued. I loved SC and Id love to see another, but the truth is it wouldnt stand up to today's level of games. When you go back and play the original 3 SC they feel janky, the controls are awkward and the gameplay lacks the imagination we're used to in modern games, like in mgs5 where there's 100 ways to take out one enemy. And whilst the long time fans will say 'we want the new game exactly like the original', ubisoft cant rely on the original fans to make profits. The sad reality is that the era that played SC and liked that style of game isnt the majority or the main market right now. The last game came out 7 years ago. Im 23 and i love SC but barely any of my friends know what it is outside of seige and breakpoint. Ubisoft is, in reality, selling to younger generations that only know the 'big open world' game, the loot mechanics and the big multiplayer arena type games. Sadly there arent enough regular gamers from the time of SC to make a new game profitable. I reckon the VR game coming out is smarter move since VR games don't sell super well but they know that making a VR game that has an established fan base can do well, just like half life alyx. AAA developers otherwise don't want to make stealth driven linear games. The only exception i can think of it is The Last of Us, which is probably the only formula i could see working. That was a game that had linear levels but with mini open areas that allow a degree of freedom, and had an emphasis on stealth that was very simplistic in that you can either melee or headshot enemies. You could add in an upgrade system similar to metro exodus where theres upgrades you can find if you explore the map. I dont think hitman is a good comparison because the point of sam is that hes a ghost who hides in the shadows and is never seen So social stealth wouldn't really work in my opinion. TLDR im not holding my breath for a new SC game
It wasn't making enough money. Although I'd like to think that a title slower and more open-ended than Blacklist but faster than Chaos Theory could've done well.
I think the problem Ubisoft has is that they want to make the most amount of money possible, because they spend so much making them.
There are possibly 2 options I think of if they want to continue the splinter cell game and add new stuff like skills trees.
Option A: they create a prequel game that would show how he became such a great operative in the game which would allow A skill tree being in the game since it would be his first couple missions as an operative.
Option B: Sam Fischer would be training a new operative to take over his role so that would mean you could customize the character to however you would like them to look this would also add a reason behind having a skill tree.
Option A isnt really an option it would be a navy seal game not a splinter cell game
Wait actually fisher was also in the CIA they can do stuff with that
Option B is better in my oppinion having sam as a lambert type of character
Bro I feel your pain and I get you haha. Exactly with MGS. The phantom pain was mechanics wise an upgraded chaos theory. I think whe. They nail that, the voice actor and just a good and lomg single player experience with different locations ( pls no 1 big opem world) then SC would be so cool
Thanks for the vid! We needed this! Why reinvent the wheel? What has changed since the first splinter cell came out? The technology. I'd say re-do the games with current gen graphics and updated controls. I'd def pay for remade versions of the games. No open world please!!!
Yup. Without M. Ironside there's no point bringing Sam back. I'd rather have a New main character.
He retired like another sneaking super soldier we all loved. So just give it a rest guys sometime’s our hero’s get old!
they can reboot the series like hitman or they can continue the story but with Kestrel as main character and Sam as mentor/4e commander. Sadly stealth games genre isn't what sells in todays large player base so isnt worth for them.
Games now are like competing for traffic cause what was liked in past it not really liked as much now. so gamers who play every day or anytime all have certain likes of a game so after try any and not like demo or watever then they wont buy game to realy even see it to the end. i am even fussy about games and can only play what my pc can run now till get a new one later any. but i grateful for what i am able to play any i like now and any others i skip for any reason.
Michael Ironside was dealing with severe health issues during the production of blacklist. He was unable to do the Voice for it. In an uncharacteristic move from ubisoft, they hid it from the public like he asked and took the bad PR on the chin by putting out a dumb reason why they chose someone else instead of spilling the beans. Was one of there only respectable moves.
I think they should go back to the roots when he first got started into his portfolio. Maybe a backstory on why he got into it what do you have to do the train stuff like that his first missions that could put the veteran part away but still have upgrades available like most Ubisoft games now
I already said it. I might of even said it in a comment on one of Ubisoft's official youtubes. But ...I want them to make a Splintercell game. A game wherein Sam is now much older, retired and telling his story of all the missions in past games/timeline.
This would be a difficult thing I guess, for UBI to pick the BEST levels of ALL the prior Splintercell games, from Splintercell one to Splintercell Blacklist.
But that is what I want them to do. I think it would be the best thing to do right now for all us rabid Splinter cell fans.
Now even if they go with this idea of story that Sam is retired and all. This doesn't prevent them from going forward in time with new games in the series. You could have Sam retired and talking about previous levels/previous experiences/previous time in the Splintercell Universe, but you leave some out. So this does not remove or rule out the possibility of having MORE ADVENTURES in other sequels, telling more stories, in a future timeframe. ;)
If that is too complicated, (not to me it isn't) you could just have him not be retired. But instead, as before he is definitely much older now and for some reason he is stuck somewhere telling someone his stories of past missions. Then at the end you come back to present day, where he is telling the person these stories, that he is having a chat with for some reason.Then BAM, something emergent happens and he needs step into action. Then, the game ends there . Which perfectly sets up for the sequel!
This is my idea. I love this series. I played the first games -trilogy- on gamecube. I played Splintercell 3D ON 3DS(which is Chaos Theory in 3D). I loved the Gameboy Advance games.
Yeah, Sam Fisher is awesome! Michael Ironside (& i think most fans agree) was the best voice actor for the character, IMHO.
Oh before I go I must say. What's the situation Lambert?
Edit: I mentioned this before in another comment either at UBI official TH-cam or some other channel. But the title that came to me for such a game was: Splinter cell : Memoirs.... and now that I say that..."Splintercell: The Sam Fisher Memoirs" . ;)
Peace.
Om.
I remember playing the first on my ps2 as a little kid and the game was so advanced for the time and then i found out that Pandora tomorrow and chaos theory were already out i played them all and all the games were amazing i just hope they bring those games back
Chaos Theory multiplayer remake is all I want :(
Sam Fishers hecking upset face watching the great collapse on the Smi....
Joseph Seed " I heard a great voice from the temple say to the angels, go youre ways, and pour from the vials... The wrath of god upon the earth."
At least a REMAKE will be sufficient 😢😞
Bare minimum do a remastered collection, that’s the least they can do
Honestly The Closest Thing We Would Get To Michael Ironside Voicing Sam, Is A Story Where The Protagonist Is A Whole Different Character Like His Daughter Or Briggs, And Sam Is Coaching, Instructing, And Chatting With Us Through The Briefing/Missions, Because Of Michael’s Health He Can’t Really Do The Motion Capture Stuff They Would Require From Him
Why are you capitalizing every word?
I pray everyday for a Pandora tomorrow multiplayer remake
WOW never did you mentioned Spy vs Mercs being ahead of its time .. Us ol die hard fans want a classic Spy vs Mercs chaos theory REMASTERED.
Agreed but I’d prefer Pandora tomorrow
@@kmoses2152 imagine all maps I’ll be happy with any miss Spi vs Mercs
The thing is, devs are always trying to overcome the predecessors. In reality we only need a good story, a challenging gameplay, immersion, simple things. That's why SC 1-2-3 worked so well. They were sticking to the basics. Darkness, deception, being sneaky and smart. When you become unstoppable with slow-mo gunfights, the immersion is gone. Sam Fisher is not unstoppable, he's just man, who got the upper hand.
I don't want Ubisoft to touch this franchise too. Seeing what they did to PoP...
Now they just need to get Kojima Productions to make a splinter cell game
Noop kojima on SC World•:)
Ubisoft has to be willing sell SC to Kojima
only if you convince Konami to sell the rights to Kojimas baby back to him. Its fucked that the Pachinko company (Konami) is holding Kojimas game franchise hostage just because they are sellouts. the minute he left Konami MGS went to shit. MGS5 was unfinished and Kojima hated it and then MGsurvive was just a flop cause they tried to do it without him.
Why is there so much hate on conviction I loved that game and it was so good and good storyline
They can go MGS2 & introduce another character that’ll work w/ a NPC of Sam Fisher. Splinter Cell on the ps2 was one of my favorite games.
A new SC game with Nomad taking over as the main protag/ new member of 4th echelon could work story-wise. Sam could fit into the role of what Lambert used to be. The story can feed off of and tie into the events from the ghost recon franchise.... but it's whatevs. I don't even think Ubi is competent enough to pull it off
They could do leveled gear progression ala Arkham and have that kind of RPG element. Also rebooting and starting at his origin would logically allow for a skill tree. Or having a new creatable character under Sam's wing could make all of that possible as well. Just saying.
I miss my Sam Fisher...
I feel like Breakpoint's immersive mode is a good starting point.. Open world is not so bad imo, and I think it was avoided in the first entries in the series just for technical limitations. But stealth ops are really all about preparation, planning, recon, choosing when and how to tackle objectives. Honestly I feel like Breakpoint is the best Splinter Cell since Chaos Theory.. However it's lacking a lot in stealth mechanics, platforming and interiors, other than of course urban environments!
And also I wouldn't feel betrayed if Sam finally left the stage to new agents, I quite like the character customization in Breakpoint. The next Splinter Cell game could be a great opportunity to tackle this theme, it could easily fit into the narrative - Sam Fisher who is too old to keep doing this and is conflicted cause he can't let it go, just as we are, but maybe he can find a new role in the agency, and be a reference for future agents? Who knows! It sounds engaging to me.
Breakpoint lacks some stealth machinics because its not splintercell its ghost recon huge difference
when it comes to multipule mini open world maps with multipule objectives Ubisoft could take notes from th Hitman series (specificly level design)
They could make a game focusing on ShadowNet, who disabled the Smallpox "bombs" in Pandora Tomorrow. You'd have an open world asset, you'd have other Spies besides Sam Fisher (ergo no need for Michael Ironside, and they aren't trying to replace him) and you'd get co-op/multi-player simply because you're a team of spies, not just a splinter agent. If you wanted to play offline, then it would feel more like a single player splinter cell (with emphasis on a MGS5 approach) Different levels/modes/tactics (new ways to get past obstacles in a stealthy manner) could be unlocked or purchased with microtransactions. This all sounds super good on paper right? Thoughts?
nah
Currently replaying the Splinter Cell series on Xbox One. Got most of the games for $6 or less.
Ubisoft has this weird hard-on for making open world games like its 2004. they gotta realize that open world isnt new or novel anymore. Every fucking game doesnt have to be open world jesus christ. i dont get how they think EVERY single franchise they own has to be open world.
In short: for a Storydriven, Level based Stealth Game you need to have a Brain, epecially in Leveldesign. Ubisoft (most of the time) doesn`t have that.
The thing I hated about Blacklist was that Sam's character felt dramatically different to what he really was. Conviction story-wise at least makes sense and had a pretty emotional one. Blacklist feels like a TV drama where a team is assembled to take down an evil terrorist. But why does Sam have to do that? Sam already expressed in Conviction that he didn't want to do anything resembling government work anymore. Conviction felt like a good send-off for Sam because he finally got his daughter back, and he was ready to move on with his life as a civilian. Sam felt betrayed and anger towards Lambert and 3rd Echelon. So why would he ever come back and form his own agency? Wouldn't Grim want to move on as well considering all of the trauma that transpired in Conviction and Double Agent. Also where is Redding? Last we see of him is in Double Agent. Vic's part seems kind of like a written excuse. What was his purpose really?
The writing after Double Agent seemed a bit out of touch with what the series was originally. I would've been happy if Sam's story ended after Conviction.
If they create a new Splinter Cell game, they should either make a fresh new agent and reference some of the older games(subtle not in your face ones), keep it linear but have it to where like Splinter Cell you could explore an area in multiple ways, and for the love of god emphasize that you need to play like a ghost. I might be controversial when I say this but I want the game to punish you for playing Assault. Make it much harder. In Chaos Theory, you could totally go in with grenades, a sniper rifle and shotgun attachment, but you best believe that the AI would be ruthless if they heard you. They would sometimes just spray bullets into the dark because they acted scared. And it worked, because that meant you had to rely on darkness and sound.
Also, they need to go back to making the levels ambitious. Can you remember a single level from Blacklist? I honestly only remember the desert map but nothing special about it.
But from Chaos Theory, I loved the Displace facility with the dissipating windows. I will always remember the torture scene in the beginning of the game. Pandora Tomorrow, the train mission stands out in my mind as one of the most unique missions I have ever played in a videogame.
All in all Blacklist took some baby steps in the right direction but for a new splinter Cell to be good, it needs to take some inspiration from it's past titles.
Even if we get a collection for the whole splinter cell game I’m still demanding a new one hopefully the mechanics will be similar to the classic one
In this age of total surveillance, game companies are ditching stealth action/espionage games with stories of heroes going against the Establishment for the greater good, in favor of turning gamers into obedient soldiers in open gunfights and team battles.
Just like movies, games are more than games these days.
What if Sam retires from the field due to his age and fills the role of Lambert and you are a new splinter cell that you create who's not as experienced and needs to upgrade and improve and Michael Ironside's voice is always there to guide you through?
Splinter Cell and metal gear solid needs to come back best stealth games ever made
Ubisoft solely depends on mininal effort in hopes for maximum return these days. Big open worlds, with sub par stories and characters.
I figure if you aren't going to gives us a new SC. At least, at least give us a Original Trilogy remaster/Remake.
Michael Ironside worked with Ubisoft to rework Sam because of how underdeveloped he originally was as a character; that makes him irreplaceable.
So if Ironside wants to hang up his Trifocal Goggles? Retire Sam or make the next game a passing of the torch with Sam (played by Michael Ironside) acting as a mentor and handler of a new operative.
I was never into 007 as a kid, even as a Brit, Fisher was my Bond.
How bout Siphon Filter?
Blacklist set up Isaac Briggs nicely as a potential new main character and left us a massive cliffhanger with Kestrel at the end of the co-op campaign... Why not have Sam retire from the field and act as the Lambert-style "man in the chair" to Briggs/Kestrel? So much could be done with that setup and it would take the pressure off of Michael Ironside having to give a physically strenuous performance... but it feels like no-one at Ubisoft cares...
I have a suggestion: Make it Hitman style mini sandbox. Gather intel, Plan the arsenals, Weight management, Plan Infiltration, Adapt to playstyle, Plan Exfil. but with Splinter Cell Mechanics. Create shadows, or maybe with RTX based technology, Implement Lighting bounce system. The core stealth mechanics in splinter cell are hiding in the shadow after all. Why don't just play with those mechanics. The active skills shouldn't be the progression.
they kinda did all this in black list, SC been coop for 2 games even though they been side conten, but u did have differnt camo option in BL from blue digi and desert gray digi, with unlocking new wepion and attachments, better goggles and toys i think the main issus is open world, coop 2 player or 4 you have to build big sand box levels but you Deffneaty have fans for Briggs, Archer and Kestriel (even though Archer is dead) 10 big open sandboxs with 4-6 main objetives and a few side, keep Paldin for player hub, and the custom option you could be given youer mission from Sam as he become the Lambert so you can make youre own agent, (or you do him in his haydays preqil behard with out Ironside doing the voice) yes i know you pointed this out.
I do think that open world infiltration games have a lot of potential, but I don’t think Splinter Cell is the right series for it. What’s super cool with the SC series is the idea of a man drop alone in a very closed small area with objectives and gadget; in the end, the goal is to remain unseen. Larger scale would not allow super dynamic mouvements and hacking and all that good SC classic stuff in a good SC style. In fact, they should look up at the Hitman franchise and get inspire by what they do! I really think they succeed at modernizing the Hitman franchise!
I say just remake not remaster the originals to help bring back the brand for new and old fans with there new engines with more smooth gameplay and better graphics. If not this just reboot the series like call of duty with a new splinter cell universe with our favorite characters.🙏
Holy shit! YES! Make a Splinter Cell reboot that plays like MGSV!!
