Everything about splinter cell was amazing, The story telling, gameplay, dialogues, NPC behaviour, the music(chaos theory did a fantastic job on this) and the plot of the games. I still play the series in my free time, each game was great in it's own way. I really hoped ubisoft would continue the series, there are not much stealth games around with the same vibe, ofcourse Hitman series and some other games are up there, but SC was one of a kind and it was iconic.
Splinter Cell was one of my favorite games ever. Still this day I still remember lines,musics and levels. Sam Fisher is a character that will stay with us forever.
This was a great tribute video to this legendary franchise, I like what I'm hearing from the devs, it's been a long time that I was waiting for a true return to the roots and to the gameplay of the first four games. I have faith in the remake, take your time to polish it and deliver us a unique experience :)
Chaos Theory. Best gameplay in the series. Best soundtrack in the series. Best graphics in the series. Best multiplayer in the series. Made so many memories and friends on xbox live at the time thanks to this game. Managed to 100% Bank. I am not optimistic about ANY GAME REMAKE nowadays, but I still have little faith. Please don't take away game features. Please don't focus on graphics. Please don't screw this up like other game remakes have.
Secret agent Bob & Steve was an underrated G4 gem. These games were formative for my taste in future games. Splinter cell really is one of the greatest games of all time.
One of the best - if not the best Ubisoft franchises of all time. The first 3 in my opinion are immaculate in terms of playability and nostalgia factor. I can return to these games 20 years later and enjoy them as much as I did in 2002. Please do a service to fans everywhere and continue this storied franchise with a forward eye but a constant respect for where it started. No microtransactions or open world elements. Please. Intricate and tight level design is what made this franchise great, not graphical flourishes, elaborate cutscenes, or grinding for XP
I remember countless nights, my room as dimly lit as most of the environments absolutely loving every moment playing these games. I am 34 now and i’m excited to relive those nights all over again.
my friend and i spent so many hours on playing the co-op splinter cells and failed so many time! yet its still one of my best memories from all the co-op games i tried. i hope there will be a bright future for the series and doesnt experinces the "modern take of current audience". if you want to do a remake or a continuation of these games you have to understand that the player base and fan's as old as the game by now and they are the one whom you want to target it with!
True, but when you put a product on an open market, you aren't JUST selling it to the people who are already familiar with it. You're also selling it in the hopes of making newer fans as well. And considering how long it has been since their last was a Splinter Cell game, it's more than due for a new entry made to fit certain modern standards of gaming.
Breaking into Langley was the highlight of my video gaming career … this game should be a movie.. I’ve played all of them and always compare any game I play to them… every Ubisoft game is stellar.
This has made my day. Chaos Theory is the 🐐 Just yesterday after years, I listened to the radio song that plays in Chaos Theory. It was so nostalgic and brought back incredible memories. Ive been hoping they make another legendary Splinter Cell for years so I'm so excited that there's gonna be a full remake of the franchise starting from the original Splinter Cell. Cannot wait!
If I were you I would scale back your expectations, its already known the remake is going to be defiled for that fictcious modern audience. Not to mention nothing they say can be taken on face value, it baffels how its still possible how so many are this naive or just choose to be.
@@afcansf5996 I pray to God they they stick to the original formula that made it so successful. Considering the panel were talking about all the details that made the franchise successful, I have hope they'll stick to that promise of delivering a game the fans want and expect. I'm cautiously optimistic..but I understand your position. Time will tell
Ubisoft, we absolutely need the old classic Splinter Cell games on the current systems (PS4/PS5, Switch). Splinter Cell 1, Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory and Double Agent (Version2) would be so great as a collection. This was done with Metal Gear Solid too, so what are you waiting for? These are the Splinter Cell games that fans want. And that would be a good collection to tide you over until the announced Splinter Cell remake finally appears.
The days of playing countless hours of online play with splinter cell chaos theory was absolutely the best! Can’t wait to see what they bring to the table.
Still play the original trilogy today,and my favourite stealth games to date. Chaos theory is in my top 3 games period. This remake sounds like they have an amazing group of passionate fans,wanting to make the best game they can! Muchly excited!
i was surprised to see a non-stretched HUD haha (also seems they had the shadow fix installed?) and thanks so much for all the work you're doing with the widescreen fixes
Splinter Cell is one of those franchises i love to revisit. The gameplay, story, characters, environments, etc. were amazing and well done. I can’t wait for the remake.
I love Splinter Cell so much I have played every single part in the Splinter Cell series, from original Splinter Cell from 2002 to Splinter Cell Blacklist from 2013. I loved every single part and will always be in the deepest part of my heart for gaming.
So nice of you guys to put Amon Tobins Chaos Theory Soundtrack into the whole video 🥰 I'm very excited for the remake and wish all best for the development 🙏
@@Longhauler85 I'd actually argue that it is one of the best videogame soundtracks ever made 😁 Seeing Amon Tobin return for the remake soundtrack would be huge step in the right direction imho because it's almost guaranteed that it's gonna be an amazing one 😊 Just look at the stuff he has done since then! The ISAM show, founded his own label "NOMARK" and is constantly changing himself and the electronic music landscape with innovations for which videogames are so much known for! Please hire him Ubisoft!! 😁🙏
@@MKR3238 I only played Chaos Theory and for me it's the greatest game of all time on PS2 & PS3 hd. I want to play the full series on my gaming PC. Let me know where is the best place to download and what other files I need please. Thanks 👍
Thank you for all your hard work! This is and always will be my favorite franchise. Unprecedented and completely unique gameplay that feels so real, not like your Spider-Man or superhuman but just a man, on a mission, highly trained, but still moves and thinks and feels like the rest of us.
4:40 Fisher: "Don't tell me... Three alarms and the mission is over?" Lambert: "Of course not...this is no video game Fisher!" Gotta love all these funny dialogues. I remember having so much fun playing these games and laughing out loud!
Always loved the interrogation on the roof in splinter cell chaos theory (Penthouse level I think) Fisher: "How about I cut your ear off?" guard: "Go ahead...I got another!""
Spinter Cell is my favourite video game franchise ever and I'm thrilled to see Ubisoft reviving the franchise. Since 2014, I anxiously wait for Ubisoft E3 presentation in hopes of a new game being announced. Still waiting 9 years later. Please don't let the franchise disappear. There is a big audience for story focus single player games still. Not everything needs to be a massive open world service type of thing.
One of the things I hope they bring back for new Splinter Cell titles is shadow paths and sneaking. The cover to cover movement from Conviction and Blacklist just didn't really fit with the type of game that Splinter Cell is, where it is based around stealth and is essentially a modern ninja game. It felt like they tried to do a mash up of the action from John Wick and the storyline pacing of 24. The first 3 SC titles forces you to take your time and think your actions through, and punishes you for being brash and impatient. Plus it was fun as hell to be in pitch black and be able to stand a foot in front of somebody's face without them knowing. The cover to cover movement system and detection makes much more sense for levels that take place in broad daylight or fairly well lit areas but not so much in dark places. I think a mesh of both would be nice, but kind of default to the stealth; keep the same idea from Blacklist where you had the campaign missions but make them more stealth oriented, whereas the optional, side, and co-op could have the missions that happen more in daytime or dusk. Another thing would be to have tge weapons loadout not be such an H&K jerkfest. It was disappointing in Blacklist where there were plenty of H&K weaponry but they didn't even have Sam's iconic SC20K or the underbarrel attachments and all the little gadgets to go with. It would be cool if there was a bit more you could customize and use. (It was disappointing that you could use a MAC-11 but not even suppress it even though there are suppressors for the MAC-11, like the SIONICS suppressor. It would have been cool AF to rock it Snake Plissken style) Also, more ComBloc loadouts would be cool. Stuff like the Stechkin, AS Val, vz. 61, or having Bramit suppressors for the AK's. It's a stealth ninja game; having loadouts that would be more readily suppressed would fit much better. Also, this is my thought personally, but it would be cool if the followed other Splinter Cell agents, as it was mentioned in Chaos Theory on the Seoul mission that Sam isn't the only agent; there are other agents deployed by Echelon. Maybe have a game where it follows one of the other agents, or even better, have missions where you play as a VORON agent and see what it would be like from a different perspective.
After the remake of SC1, i think we need a Splinter Cell with a story with full stealth. A story more about steal informations for stop enemys plans or conspiracy before they know what's happen to they failure. Imagine for example finish the campaign with nobody in the story know that a spy was behind everthing. So the player will feel like a real ghost like a spy should be. And Sam Fisher is very old. So make sense he choose full ghost than close combat enconter to finish the mission. Because of his age he dont have the same agile, speed and strenght that he have in his old past in missions.
The amount of amazing childhood memories that came flooding back soon as I heard that intro music! I still honestly Chaos theory is one of the best games ever made!
The “three tube” nightvision is actually plausible. Two nightvision tubes. With one singular built in thermal “ecoti” unit overlaying as an option. In 2002, almost unheard of. Now it’s reality.
Happy 20th anniversary to Splinter Cell, one of my favorite game series of all time. Such good memories of playing the games when I lived back at home, especially the first game as that was always my favorite. It was also the second game I ever got for the original Xbox. It was nice to see the developers talking and reminiscing about their memories and love of the game and I'm so glad they showed some art concept of the remake. It looks really good and it seems like they are really trying to make it great like the original. Can't wait for a trailer and I'm predicting a late 2024 release.
Those were the best ones. I also liked Splinter Cell: Conviction. After that I was done with the series. They released Black List and I had no desire to play that game. They changed Sam Fisher and I believe the voice actor as well. Michael Ironside is the only Sam Fisher I want to listen to.
@@1969Makaveli you not a real splinter cell fan. Blacklist is better than all of them. And the voice actor was very good. I liked that sam fisher voice.
@@tadyagha362 Just cause YOU like the game doesn`t mean I have to like it. And YOU can`t tell me I`m not a real Splinter Cell fan when I tell you I don`t feel Black List has the same feel or experience as the original Sam Fisher. It`s missing it`s true components. The real fans know and I`m sure fans agree. I want the original Sam Fisher not some knock off. He was featured in Ghost Recon: WildLands and that was very popular among the true fans. You liked the voice actor? Well that`s YOU. We have difference of opinions and that`s not gonna ever change. YOU like the new voice actor. I like the original.....Micheal Ironside. To me Black List is not Splinter Cell without the original Sam Fisher.
@@1969Makaveli you talked like you played the game before. You did not play it, so your conversation should stop there. As someone who played all the games of splinter cell, i did not see any significant change in the series. Its not like ubisoft forced ironside to stop voice acting. He was sick, and since fans are fickle “you being an example”, they are forced to use another voice actor so they can continue and not leave the fans hanging along with the project. But that is why art and people nevwr existed peacefully for ever the centuries. Because people take everything for granted and don’t appreciate the beauty. All they want is to whine and cry and complain and you cant make anyone happy.
@@tadyagha362 Hence why it`s my opinion and not yours.I didn`t have to play the game. I saw the video reviews and I saw how they made him look different and a different voice. The character did not look like Sam Fisher and the voice ( well that was enough for me. ) And if I`m a fan, customer, a consumer. I have that right to not like it. I don`t care if they couldn`t get Micheal Ironside to do the voice. They should`ve waited then. Cause he`s Sam Fisher. He was in Ghost Recon: WildLands. And it was perfect. Now if Ubisoft wanted to do another Splinter Celll game. They could bring in a new agent and take it from there. Just don`t call him Sam Fisher. You like the game I don`t. And I`m ok with you liking it. I just don`t have to and I don`t have to agree with you.
Please return Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Double Agent (OG Xbox ver.) to the Microsoft Store. I'm sure there's probably licensing costs. I'm sure that given how long they've been delisted that you must have a collection in the works. Still, we're going around a year now with no way to play them without a physical used disc when a prominent part of the OG Xbox Classics Backwards Compatibility was the Splinter Cell series! If you can't tell, I'm big mad.
No mention of Michael Ironside and instead lots of Sam Fisher talk leads me to believe they're recasting him for the remake and not using the original voice acting. I don't think I can play a remake without Michael as Sam.
Remember all the funny marketing videos for Chaos Theory? Short video clips where game mechanics like pull enemy into the water while swimming etc was shown. I miss them, the game and the series in general immensely. 😊 Looking forward to the remake and what hopefully comes next.
20 years but the sad thing is that it's been almost 10 years since the last game. Love Splinter Cell I've been playing since day 1 and I can't wait for the remake but I also hope we get a new Splinter Cell.
So long as the remake keeps the true darkness and the slower pace it should be great. Blacklist was a good turn back in the right direction but it is too easy to just run through some levels without issue. I always enjoyed how the original trilogy plays like a tense puzzle of pathways.
Cautiously optimistic. The first trilogy of games set the bar so high I'm not sure it can be topped. Everything about them (except for some BS moments with guard AI) is basically perfection. The humor/one liners, the music, atmosphere, etc. Even the tie in with Ghost Recon 2's storyline regarding the USS Clarence E Walsh and the Korea Incident was a really good Easter egg that I hope can be expounded on in the future (I have a few ideas)... Bottom line: I am REALLY hoping that this remake does the franchise justice - and hearkens back to an era of simpler times, when games were FUN, innovative, and actually stretched your skills. Oh yeah, and where Microtransactions didn't exist. (P.S. I do really enjoy Blacklist, but in any future installments, please bring back the Scroll Wheel Walk Speed, Sound and Light meters. That is what Splinter Cell is all about - STEALTH.)
I love the Splinter Cell series. 😎😍 I grew up with it. I'm really looking forward to the remake and hope that the old parts will also get a next-gen update. Of course I would also look forward to a completely new part.
Ghosting through these games was a joyous experience, I can't wait to do it again! Chaos Theory is a masterpiece and I never stopped playing, even SvM was a mainstay until the servers shut down. Good luck!
Same i first experienced splinter cell series trough magazine demo disc popped it in and was instantly in heaven miss the good old days where u could try game literally before buy
From the concept art and the way you guys are talking about you have been reading Reddit posts and such means you really are taking in consideration what the fans actually want. Playing The Splinter Cell remake on a Playstation 5 is gonna be a dream come true. Take any time you need.
I truly miss the original multiplayer from Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory, it was never the same after those two games in the series. The multiplayer in those two games is the best it has ever been. I love all the Splinter Cell games and the single player campaigns.
Yes, I loved that multiplayer mode! I think that it was the only stealth multiplayer thing that ever worked and gave me the same satisfaction and vibe as a singleplayer stealth. To this day I love the "battery" song from the soundtrack and it gives me nostalgia becouse it played over and over in Chaos Theories lobbies. :D
This series introduced me to Amon Tobin, and that is not even its single best quality. I played every game in the series, (the handheld versions as well), except for conviction, with all of the Gamecube - GBA link options, because I was always a Nintendo gamer, and I would love for all of them to come to the Switch. I remember so many moments and interactions of the earlier games. And I still listen to the Chaos Theory album of Amon Tobin just as much as any other album of his.
I can't believe nobody mentioned Michael Ironside. He breathed life into Sam Fisher. It was never the same after he left.
Wait, he retired after ghost recon breakpoint?

Best multiplayer in the series.
Made so many memories and friends on xbox live at the time thanks to this game.
Managed to 100% Bank.
I am not optimistic about ANY GAME REMAKE nowadays, but I still have little faith.
Please don't take away game features.
Please don't focus on graphics.
Please don't screw this up like other game remakes have.
Secret agent Bob & Steve was an underrated G4 gem. These games were formative for my taste in future games. Splinter cell really is one of the greatest games of all time.
One of the best - if not the best Ubisoft franchises of all time. The first 3 in my opinion are immaculate in terms of playability and nostalgia factor. I can return to these games 20 years later and enjoy them as much as I did in 2002. Please do a service to fans everywhere and continue this storied franchise with a forward eye but a constant respect for where it started. No microtransactions or open world elements. Please. Intricate and tight level design is what made this franchise great, not graphical flourishes, elaborate cutscenes, or grinding for XP
I remember countless nights, my room as dimly lit as most of the environments absolutely loving every moment playing these games. I am 34 now and i’m excited to relive those nights all over again.
my friend and i spent so many hours on playing the co-op splinter cells and failed so many time! yet its still one of my best memories from all the co-op games i tried. i hope there will be a bright future for the series and doesnt experinces the "modern take of current audience". if you want to do a remake or a continuation of these games you have to understand that the player base and fan's as old as the game by now and they are the one whom you want to target it with!
True, but when you put a product on an open market, you aren't JUST selling it to the people who are already familiar with it. You're also selling it in the hopes of making newer fans as well. And considering how long it has been since their last was a Splinter Cell game, it's more than due for a new entry made to fit certain modern standards of gaming.
Breaking into Langley was the highlight of my video gaming career … this game should be a movie.. I’ve played all of them and always compare any game I play to them… every Ubisoft game is stellar.
There was supposed to be a movie back in the day. One of the games had a very short teaser video for it, but for whatever reason the movie got canned.
This has made my day. Chaos Theory is the 🐐 Just yesterday after years, I listened to the radio song that plays in Chaos Theory. It was so nostalgic and brought back incredible memories. Ive been hoping they make another legendary Splinter Cell for years so I'm so excited that there's gonna be a full remake of the franchise starting from the original Splinter Cell. Cannot wait!
If I were you I would scale back your expectations, its already known the remake is going to be defiled for that fictcious modern audience. Not to mention nothing they say can be taken on face value, it baffels how its still possible how so many are this naive or just choose to be.
@@afcansf5996 I pray to God they they stick to the original formula that made it so successful. Considering the panel were talking about all the details that made the franchise successful, I have hope they'll stick to that promise of delivering a game the fans want and expect. I'm cautiously optimistic..but I understand your position. Time will tell
The idea that this is a foundation to continue the series is super exciting.
Ubisoft, we absolutely need the old classic Splinter Cell games on the current systems (PS4/PS5, Switch). Splinter Cell 1, Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory and Double Agent (Version2) would be so great as a collection. This was done with Metal Gear Solid too, so what are you waiting for? These are the Splinter Cell games that fans want. And that would be a good collection to tide you over until the announced Splinter Cell remake finally appears.
The days of playing countless hours of online play with splinter cell chaos theory was absolutely the best! Can’t wait to see what they bring to the table.
I can’t wait till they start the promotion for the game and the coverage is in full effect and we all got it in our hands on launch day 🙏🏽
Still play the original trilogy today,and my favourite stealth games to date. Chaos theory is in my top 3 games period. This remake sounds like they have an amazing group of passionate fans,wanting to make the best game they can! Muchly excited!
Nice to see widescreen fix showcased in Splinter Cell 1 footage, I worked on that 👍
Owned by Ubisoft Toronto
i was surprised to see a non-stretched HUD haha
(also seems they had the shadow fix installed?)
and thanks so much for all the work you're doing with the widescreen fixes
I wish they could widescreen patch the Xbox versions of the games you can play on Xbox One and up.
Splinter Cell is one of those franchises i love to revisit. The gameplay, story, characters, environments, etc. were amazing and well done. I can’t wait for the remake.
I love Splinter Cell so much I have played every single part in the Splinter Cell series, from original Splinter Cell from 2002 to Splinter Cell Blacklist from 2013. I loved every single part and will always be in the deepest part of my heart for gaming.
So nice of you guys to put Amon Tobins Chaos Theory Soundtrack into the whole video 🥰
I'm very excited for the remake and wish all best for the development 🙏
Best soundtrack of the entire series.
@@Longhauler85 I'd actually argue that it is one of the best videogame soundtracks ever made 😁
Seeing Amon Tobin return for the remake soundtrack would be huge step in the right direction imho because it's almost guaranteed that it's gonna be an amazing one 😊
Just look at the stuff he has done since then! The ISAM show, founded his own label "NOMARK" and is constantly changing himself and the electronic music landscape with innovations for which videogames are so much known for!
Please hire him Ubisoft!! 😁🙏
In honor of its 20th anniversary I will play the original splinter cell as my first splinter cell game for the first time
make sure to install the widescreen and shadow fix
@@MKR3238 I only played Chaos Theory and for me it's the greatest game of all time on PS2 & PS3 hd. I want to play the full series on my gaming PC. Let me know where is the best place to download and what other files I need please. Thanks 👍
@@MKR3238 probably gonna try the backwards compatible version if it plays okay
Thank you for all your hard work! This is and always will be my favorite franchise. Unprecedented and completely unique gameplay that feels so real, not like your Spider-Man or superhuman but just a man, on a mission, highly trained, but still moves and thinks and feels like the rest of us.
4:40
Fisher: "Don't tell me... Three alarms and the mission is over?"
Lambert: "Of course not...this is no video game Fisher!"
Gotta love all these funny dialogues. I remember having so much fun playing these games and laughing out loud!
Always loved the interrogation on the roof in splinter cell chaos theory (Penthouse level I think)
Fisher: "How about I cut your ear off?"
guard: "Go ahead...I got another!""
Spinter Cell is my favourite video game franchise ever and I'm thrilled to see Ubisoft reviving the franchise. Since 2014, I anxiously wait for Ubisoft E3 presentation in hopes of a new game being announced. Still waiting 9 years later. Please don't let the franchise disappear. There is a big audience for story focus single player games still. Not everything needs to be a massive open world service type of thing.
Sam Fisher was born on August, 8, 1957.
I hope that won’t change.
So so excited for this to become a reality. This will always be my favorite type of game.
I really hope Michael Ironside voices Fisher again.
That would be great but I'm not getting my hopes up.
The original has always been my favorite. Idk, there's just something so tight and perfect about it.
The 'recipe' is simple. Voiced by Michael Ironside, music by Amon Tobin, pure stealth game from the developers and again number one seller.
hearing Chaos Theory is inspiring the level design is such a huge thing. That's great.
WE WANT A NEW SPLINTER CELL!
Can't wait to see how this turns out! been waiting for some more splinter cell stuff.
Splinter Cell (2002) on the Xbox Classic is still as good today as it was back then.
Sam before conviction: Witty, joking, funny
Sam during convcition: *W H E R E I S M Y D A U G H T E R* *gunshots*
This is the best game series ever made
The original Splinter Cell was one of the first games I played on XBox in 2002. Can't wait for the remake. 😁👍
Thank you for this transparency. This is so fun to see and watch. I’m so pumped for this project.
One of the things I hope they bring back for new Splinter Cell titles is shadow paths and sneaking.
The cover to cover movement from Conviction and Blacklist just didn't really fit with the type of game that Splinter Cell is, where it is based around stealth and is essentially a modern ninja game. It felt like they tried to do a mash up of the action from John Wick and the storyline pacing of 24. The first 3 SC titles forces you to take your time and think your actions through, and punishes you for being brash and impatient. Plus it was fun as hell to be in pitch black and be able to stand a foot in front of somebody's face without them knowing.
The cover to cover movement system and detection makes much more sense for levels that take place in broad daylight or fairly well lit areas but not so much in dark places. I think a mesh of both would be nice, but kind of default to the stealth; keep the same idea from Blacklist where you had the campaign missions but make them more stealth oriented, whereas the optional, side, and co-op could have the missions that happen more in daytime or dusk.
Another thing would be to have tge weapons loadout not be such an H&K jerkfest. It was disappointing in Blacklist where there were plenty of H&K weaponry but they didn't even have Sam's iconic SC20K or the underbarrel attachments and all the little gadgets to go with. It would be cool if there was a bit more you could customize and use. (It was disappointing that you could use a MAC-11 but not even suppress it even though there are suppressors for the MAC-11, like the SIONICS suppressor. It would have been cool AF to rock it Snake Plissken style) Also, more ComBloc loadouts would be cool. Stuff like the Stechkin, AS Val, vz. 61, or having Bramit suppressors for the AK's. It's a stealth ninja game; having loadouts that would be more readily suppressed would fit much better.
Also, this is my thought personally, but it would be cool if the followed other Splinter Cell agents, as it was mentioned in Chaos Theory on the Seoul mission that Sam isn't the only agent; there are other agents deployed by Echelon. Maybe have a game where it follows one of the other agents, or even better, have missions where you play as a VORON agent and see what it would be like from a different perspective.
After the remake of SC1, i think we need a Splinter Cell with a story with full stealth. A story more about steal informations for stop enemys plans or conspiracy before they know what's happen to they failure.
Imagine for example finish the campaign with nobody in the story know that a spy was behind everthing. So the player will feel like a real ghost like a spy should be.
And Sam Fisher is very old. So make sense he choose full ghost than close combat enconter to finish the mission. Because of his age he dont have the same agile, speed and strenght that he have in his old past in missions.
The amount of amazing childhood memories that came flooding back soon as I heard that intro music!
I still honestly Chaos theory is one of the best games ever made!
I hope that Michael Ironside comes back
Came across this video while playing blacklist again... soo happy we're finally close to getting a remake
The “three tube” nightvision is actually plausible. Two nightvision tubes. With one singular built in thermal “ecoti” unit overlaying as an option. In 2002, almost unheard of. Now it’s reality.
Happy 20th anniversary to Splinter Cell, one of my favorite game series of all time. Such good memories of playing the games when I lived back at home, especially the first game as that was always my favorite. It was also the second game I ever got for the original Xbox. It was nice to see the developers talking and reminiscing about their memories and love of the game and I'm so glad they showed some art concept of the remake. It looks really good and it seems like they are really trying to make it great like the original.
Can't wait for a trailer and I'm predicting a late 2024 release.
We need more Splinter Cell in our lives!
It's Moss. Get it right or pay the price.
I hope they use Amon Tobin for the music again
Amon Tobin since the first minute ... ❤️
This is a ground breaking series!! Seriously..Splinter Cell, Pandora's Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent...nothing comes close!
Those were the best ones. I also liked Splinter Cell: Conviction.
After that I was done with the series. They released Black List and I had no desire to play that game. They changed Sam Fisher and I believe the voice actor as well.
Michael Ironside is the only Sam Fisher I want to listen to.
@@1969Makaveli you not a real splinter cell fan. Blacklist is better than all of them. And the voice actor was very good. I liked that sam fisher voice.
@@tadyagha362 Just cause YOU like the game doesn`t mean I have to like it. And YOU can`t tell me I`m not a real Splinter Cell fan when I tell you I don`t feel Black List has the same feel or experience as the original Sam Fisher. It`s missing it`s true components. The real fans know and I`m sure fans agree.
I want the original Sam Fisher not some knock off. He was featured in Ghost Recon: WildLands and that was very popular among the true fans. You liked the voice actor? Well that`s YOU. We have difference of opinions and that`s not gonna ever change. YOU like the new voice actor. I like the original.....Micheal Ironside.
To me Black List is not Splinter Cell without the original Sam Fisher.
@@1969Makaveli you talked like you played the game before. You did not play it, so your conversation should stop there.
As someone who played all the games of splinter cell, i did not see any significant change in the series. Its not like ubisoft forced ironside to stop voice acting. He was sick, and since fans are fickle “you being an example”, they are forced to use another voice actor so they can continue and not leave the fans hanging along with the project.
But that is why art and people nevwr existed peacefully for ever the centuries. Because people take everything for granted and don’t appreciate the beauty. All they want is to whine and cry and complain and you cant make anyone happy.
@@tadyagha362 Hence why it`s my opinion and not yours.I didn`t have to play the game. I saw the video reviews and I saw how they made him look different and a different voice. The character did not look like Sam Fisher and the voice ( well that was enough for me. ) And if I`m a fan, customer, a consumer. I have that right to not like it. I don`t care if they couldn`t get Micheal Ironside to do the voice. They should`ve waited then. Cause he`s Sam Fisher. He was in Ghost Recon: WildLands. And it was perfect.
Now if Ubisoft wanted to do another Splinter Celll game. They could bring in a new agent and take it from there. Just don`t call him Sam Fisher.
You like the game I don`t. And I`m ok with you liking it. I just don`t have to and I don`t have to agree with you.
The original Splinter Cell, and Chaos Theory were amazing. I hope this series has a resurgence.
Time of the vid alluding to the year in which it'll be released(20:25)?🤔
Here’s hoping Michael Ironside is cast as Sam Fisher again!
i dont think its gonna happen but oh boy, do i wish to hear him again
@@MKR3238 he did the voice over for Sam on a Ghost Recon expansion 1 or 2 years ago. So there’s still hope!
Please return Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Double Agent (OG Xbox ver.) to the Microsoft Store. I'm sure there's probably licensing costs. I'm sure that given how long they've been delisted that you must have a collection in the works.
Still, we're going around a year now with no way to play them without a physical used disc when a prominent part of the OG Xbox Classics Backwards Compatibility was the Splinter Cell series! If you can't tell, I'm big mad.
No mention of Michael Ironside and instead lots of Sam Fisher talk leads me to believe they're recasting him for the remake and not using the original voice acting. I don't think I can play a remake without Michael as Sam.
Remember all the funny marketing videos for Chaos Theory? Short video clips where game mechanics like pull enemy into the water while swimming etc was shown. I miss them, the game and the series in general immensely. 😊 Looking forward to the remake and what hopefully comes next.
I still have the original manual for the first game on display in my room. I was so hyped when Sam was added to Rainbow Six Siege too.
*Finally, we're getting spotlights on Splinter cell* 😍
clickbaiter
Thank god they’re doing something with Splinter Cell
20 years but the sad thing is that it's been almost 10 years since the last game. Love Splinter Cell I've been playing since day 1 and I can't wait for the remake but I also hope we get a new Splinter Cell.
Imagine Chaos theory with modern graphics and sound design... wah ! * *chef's kiss* *
So long as the remake keeps the true darkness and the slower pace it should be great. Blacklist was a good turn back in the right direction but it is too easy to just run through some levels without issue. I always enjoyed how the original trilogy plays like a tense puzzle of pathways.
Until you go for a no killing run on professional difficulty in blacklist
Coming from somebody who’s never played the original, I cannot wait to get my hands on the remake
Cautiously optimistic. The first trilogy of games set the bar so high I'm not sure it can be topped. Everything about them (except for some BS moments with guard AI) is basically perfection. The humor/one liners, the music, atmosphere, etc. Even the tie in with Ghost Recon 2's storyline regarding the USS Clarence E Walsh and the Korea Incident was a really good Easter egg that I hope can be expounded on in the future (I have a few ideas)... Bottom line: I am REALLY hoping that this remake does the franchise justice - and hearkens back to an era of simpler times, when games were FUN, innovative, and actually stretched your skills.
Oh yeah, and where Microtransactions didn't exist.
(P.S. I do really enjoy Blacklist, but in any future installments, please bring back the Scroll Wheel Walk Speed, Sound and Light meters. That is what Splinter Cell is all about - STEALTH.)
they'll gay it up
@@carlosfrancisco9645 I can already see it.. Pink fluffy unicorn helmets for cosmetics
I'm happy Sam is not forgotten. ☺
I love the Splinter Cell series. 😎😍 I grew up with it. I'm really looking forward to the remake and hope that the old parts will also get a next-gen update. Of course I would also look forward to a completely new part.
Hopefully Ubisoft keeps Micheal Ironside's voice for sam fisher he was the best i miss him
If Michael Ironside comes back for the remake! 🔥🔥🔥
I love how in chaos theory you could sneak backwards
Ghosting through these games was a joyous experience, I can't wait to do it again! Chaos Theory is a masterpiece and I never stopped playing, even SvM was a mainstay until the servers shut down. Good luck!
That Chaos Theory music at the beginning brought back so many amazing memories. Please remake all 3 first games!
Will Amon Tobin be back? His soundtrack is still one of the most iconic in gaming, in my opinion.
Walking through the computer room and feeling like ghost is exactly what is missing tha one guy said it best
**Sam grabs guard**
Guard: Who are you?
Sam: The Landlord, rent's overdue..
I miss old Sam.
Please get Ironside and Amon Tobin back!
One of my favourite game series of all time!
Splinter Cell is just sheer emotion for me
I'm glad for this round table. I hope it means we're close. We're ready!
It's been 2 years since this video was released. Can we get an update please? Life is short. 😊
Same i first experienced splinter cell series trough magazine demo disc popped it in and was instantly in heaven miss the good old days where u could try game literally before buy
My favorites series. 20 years...🥺
They seem to have understood what Sam and his world was in the first trilogy. We hope well.
From the concept art and the way you guys are talking about you have been reading Reddit posts and such means you really are taking in consideration what the fans actually want.
Playing The Splinter Cell remake on a Playstation 5 is gonna be a dream come true.
Take any time you need.
I truly miss the original multiplayer from Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory, it was never the same after those two games in the series. The multiplayer in those two games is the best it has ever been. I love all the Splinter Cell games and the single player campaigns.
Yes, I loved that multiplayer mode! I think that it was the only stealth multiplayer thing that ever worked and gave me the same satisfaction and vibe as a singleplayer stealth. To this day I love the "battery" song from the soundtrack and it gives me nostalgia becouse it played over and over in Chaos Theories lobbies. :D
Best multiplayer ever. They can charge me 100 dollars for a remaster of this multiplayer, i'd buy it day one. And play it everyday for years.
This series introduced me to Amon Tobin, and that is not even its single best quality. I played every game in the series, (the handheld versions as well), except for conviction, with all of the Gamecube - GBA link options, because I was always a Nintendo gamer, and I would love for all of them to come to the Switch. I remember so many moments and interactions of the earlier games. And I still listen to the Chaos Theory album of Amon Tobin just as much as any other album of his.
Missed opportunity not having Michael Ironside in the background of the interview lurking in the shadows...or was he?
