We Don’t Get Games Like This Anymore...

- Splinter Cell might be one of the most spectacularly mismanaged properties in gaming, especially when looking at its complete absence over the last decade or so, but looking back at the franchise, it’s hard not to be impressed with the heights it scaled.
And though it has obviously done that repeatedly over the course of multiple instalments, there’s no doubting that its very first outing was also one of its best. The original Splinter Cell launched over two decades ago, back in 2022, and was instantly recognized as one of the finest games of its kind. The stealth masterpiece’s legend has only grown as time has gone on, which, of course, has been helped by the fact that it still plays as well as it does. Here, we’re going to talk about all of that and more. - เกม

To this day, I'll shoot a light source in almost every other game and realize that lights have been bulletproof for the last 20 years.
Smfh
@@rahmellbrown162 Oh, it's true.
@rahmellbrown162
Oh, it's damn true
You can do it on some lights in breakpoint but not all the lights like splinter cell
@@kiillabytez yes and know and that’s why I’m shaking my head. The details in this game beats most, even when you shoot fish tanks and how the water slowing pours out that hole
Chaos Theroy was my most played game during my teens.
Yeah that one is awesome, I bought it on sale for like $5 a year or too ago and played the hell out of it.
played with a buddy and we enjoyed it
My favorite splinter cell game of all time.
Such a good game
You should check it out now on PC. Game is clutch to play on any hand held Pc today.
Damn splinter cell was sick. Jaw hit the floor when I first saw the wall split as a kid
Same
I learned how to do it as a teenager specifically because of this game. Haha
@@TylerInTraining me too but in elementary school
@@TylerInTraining Used to do it for fun as a kid still in elementary school. That was however way before any Splinter Cell or Tom Clancy game even existed. Just figured out I could chimney myself up on a tight enough doorway. Used to scare the shit out of my older brother doing it, as we lived in an old house with very high ceilings and I managed to climb up so high he didn't spot me until I made a sound. When I played the first SC and saw that jump I was like "oh yeah, used to do something similar... but not in a single jump"
"Santa aint the only one coming down the chimney this christmas" - commercial for first splinter cell in a swedish gaming magazine 20 years ago.
That's epic.
I remember when Ghost Recon Wildlands had a Sam Fischer mission and I was so excited. Then it played out in 2 parts. The first part was getting to the meeting point undetected where if you get spotted you fail the mission and have to restart. Then for the second part as soon as you meet Sam Fischer you lose all stealth options and get thrown into a loud fire fight. That was the whole mission. That was so lame. I miss the old Splinter Cell games.
Haven’t given Ubisoft a dime since then
It's spelled Fisher.
Classic example of how disappointing Ubisoft is these days.
Oh yeah, that mission sucked ass. Sam's AI (at least for me) was borderline broken.
Splinter cell one of the best video games ever sold millions yet they stop making them,just like days gone the games we want are the games they don’t give us
Company starts making generic low stakes, high profit games
Gamers: WHY DON'T THEY MAKE GOOD GAMES ANYMORE? I'll buy this, but only on sale. Ugh, yeah, I guess I'll buy the season/battle pass too.
Company: Does a trial run of a riskier game, innovative but expensive
Gamers: Cool, can't wait to buy that on a 75% off sale
That's why. There's really no incentive. Your wallet decides what companies will do with their time and budgets. You want to cut corners, and so do they.
There waiting so in 3 or 4 years can say there ground breaking and next gen and just add back all the stuff games Fr m 10 yrs ago already had so they don't ever have to make a super good game that we have been waiting for .
It was too slow but kinda fun for a minute
With how ubisoft is these days I'd rather they don't make another splinter cell game
@@ledumpsterfire6474- Yep!!! I hear that all the time in that a great game comes out and nowadays, fans will opt for a sale before buying the game they claimed they wanted badly.
I usually wait for sales for games I either had no real intent on buying and could live without or if I just discovered a game after it’s been out for a while and would just wait for the price to drop dice the game has been out for a long time after launch.
My mindset has always been that if a game is well developed, has the complete game on the disc/Game Card it shipped on, is reasonable lengthy, I will buy on day-one.
Splinter cell, MGS and Tenchu I was lucky enough to get these releases on day 1. I miss them days.
Hitman also.
Yeah I miss these days also
Its coming back.
I've played the whole Tenchu series, but as caffeine as level design and repayable fun, I actually genuinely loved Tenchu Z. Customizing your own ninja and abilities and running through that game was very fun. Beat it on hard and it was one of my favorite achievements in stealth games.
Chaos Theory was hands down, when the best games I’ve ever played. It’s sad that this license belongs to the inept Ubisoft. They were once a good gaming company, if you can believe that
Whats sad is a game like Splinter Cell wouldn’t work today, due to people having worse attention spans than gold fish
Yea that's the saddest part. We may never get another SC game and that hurts. The closest we'll get at this time is Breakpoint, and that's only because you have the stealth aspect, can move bodies, and have gadgets similar to what you'd use in SC. Story is dog$hyte but the gameplay is like an open world SC lite.
The thing is, I don't disagree, but there is an audience for it. If the latest versions of Hitman were released one game/season at time instead of by maps, I think it would have had much better sales.
People have been complaining about the kids these days attention spans since TV became mainstream. It's nonsense and untrue. Literally Socrates made this same dumb argument centuries ago.
@@TheForbiddenOne55 We did get Double Agent on the PS2 and OG Xbox which was made by Montreal, that's probably the closest we'll get to a CT sequel.
ubisoft used to have the best games, its sad what theyve become
I want the remake to be good but Ubisoft today is an greedy, uninspired anti-consumer trainwreck of a company which keeps my expectations very low.
Don't worry, the game will also be rewritten for a modern audience too. So enjoy the hand holding and dumbed down story too
Get ready for microtransactions and 3 different types of editions
@@raddudeski2745 They’ll turn Sam Fisher into Samantha Fishnets, the non-binary nightstalker. Ensuring they check all the right boxes on their alphabet checklist.
Get ready for Sam to be killed off and a woman taking over his role.
@@based_circuit if that was gonna happen i wish it will never got a remake
Splinter Cell,MGS, syphonfilter, Tenchu, Hitman. So many good Spy/stealth games
I miss spies v mercs.The early days of that were some of the most fun I ever had in a multiplayer game.
Same. ;n;
Same❤
Am trying to have the platinum it's like we need 3 more people to start a game,unfortunately servers have been shut down
Best mp ever
I’m still playing now. Lots of people are running spies v mercs in 2024
The first 3 Splinter Cell games are phenomenal. The games have aged well. Great graphics and fun gameplay also.
Double Agent is underrated and also phenomenal. Despite its flaws it was still a great game with very interesting gameplay ideas, a dope soundtrack and an engaging story. The last true Splinter Cell to me.
@@LuckyBide I agree. Double Agent is awesome as well.
@@LuckyBidetbh I hated double agent after playing chaos theory so many times. It felt dumbed down. But after trying (and failing) to play through Conviction, I grew to appreciate Double Agent
Don't get mad at me but Blacklist have superior gameplay of both stealth, combat, and levels compared to Chaos Theory. I tried hard to like Chaos Theory but the boring linear levels and many annoying bugs really annoyed me so bad but the lightning and graphic is better though and the first level is pretty good
I loved SC:Conviction
Splinter cell was such an awesome game. This, syphon filter, mgs, I want to replay them all
Splinter-cell’s split screen co op was THE BEST!!
God what I wouldn’t give for another Splinter Cell
As long as they dont ruin it 😮
Well they're remaking the original at least, hopefully they don't butcher it.
🙏🏻
Me too, but I have zero faith in Ubisoft and I can't do another Splinter Cell without Michael Ironside.
If I had one gaming wish, it would be that they brought Michael Ironside back for one last game and then they retire the Sam Fisher character/storyline.
Introduce a new agent voiced by Troy Baker. I think he's the only voice talent that could follow Michael Ironside's Sam Fisher and create a new agent that could hold an audience.
Tenchu was also a good stealth game imo. One of my favorite games of all time.
Agree. And the clunky controls when you were engaged 1-to-1 ensured you never got detected. Onikage battles.... ugh.
I love how slow the gameplay and the animations were(gone in the newer game that you showed). Gave you time to think and take in the atmosphere of the environment.
Splinter Cell, Hitman and the original Thief all games I deeply enjoyed as a kid. The oldschool concept of a mission brief, a problem to solve (infiltrate a facility) and then you are left on your own to solve the puzzle.
I agree, I only played the first two games and when I saw the footage of the last game I thought it looked very un-splinter cell.
I really enjoyed the later ones like Conviction and Blacklist, they played a little different but they were fun. Felt like I had more options of how to play out levels/areas
For the love of God, we need another "Splinter Cell"
Splinter cell isn't just a great steapth game, it is one of the greatest franchise period and i appreciate gamingbolt so much for creating this video keeping the legendary games relevant
What's steapth game? New genre?
@@kiillabytez Ah, I see you're unfamiliar with the concept of "the typo."
@@bluesrocker91 I mean, autocorrect is a thing...
@@kiillabytez Clearly, it missed one.
@@bluesrocker91 Actually, a typo would be spelling their instead of there and the typo wouldn't even flag. Steaph isn't even a word is it?
CHAOS THEORY IS THE BEST STEALTH GAME EVER MADE. PERIOD.
With a deep co-op where the gameplay got even better coordinating yourself and a partner, as well as spies vs mercs an awesome asymmetric multiplayer.
No other game has reached that level of stealth gameplay since it came out 20 years ago.
I agree 10000%
Splinter Cell 1 was a good Game, Pandora Tomorrow Was really good, but Chaos Theory was perfect!!!
@@walterroux291 Ohh yeah, I forgot about that mode!!!
i was such a nerd for this game that i had done a play through on the exact dates and times the missions were set in due to the fact this game came out 2 years before the dates featured in the events in the game.
So when sam went to Georgia to shoot nicolads i had 2 years of practice to make sure I was lined up with the real time it took place in.
have very fond memories of playing Blacklist back in 2013, simpler times and better life..
One thing I miss about older games is the lack of atmospheric effects and lighting helps make it easier to see what your doing and where you are going. I guess the simplicity of it was kinda nice. I remember playing Splinter Cell 1 on our neighbors garage with a projector. It was funny when the flames effects were going looked like his garage was on fire. 🤣
Hiding the bodies in odd places was great
Thanks for reminding us how depressing gaming is now.
Seriously bad.. The choice of games is just criminal
I mean, we've just had a year absolutely packed with masterpieces and instant classics, so...
The stealth genre kinda is in a slumber though
I wish I could give this more than one thumbs up.
Need a bring back the stealth genre movement
Every game nowadays has stealth, but there hasn't been a whole game based around it in ages.
I’m with you, keep making noise. We need to bring them back.
I mean you can still bring the stealth skills to modern day gaming. I have solo camped objectives on opposite sides on Battlebit and Battlefield 2042. Running/smoke is your friend.
@@callumward7503 that's what I'm saying - stealth is implemented in every game, and players love to utilize it, so it's time to make a solely stealth game again.
First thing i do in every game is test controls, shoot lights, see what all is destructible or actually physics based in the environment and then shake my head when im left in disappointment. Only games i really see that make me feel like there's any real physics now days are teardown, gta, and fallout 4
Chaos Theory is the BEST!
shame on you ubisoft, we all wait for this franchise over 13 years and still nothing, you spend almost 8 years to create that skull and bones, to me splinter cell is the best game ever made until now but sadly we never get the chance to get new one again from ubisoft
Splinter cell prince of Persia all franchise ruined by ubisoft.their only interest is boring assassin creed.when rockstar games itself has become greedy imagine the pathetic state of games industry
Splinter Cell remains one of the best stealth series. I can’t wait for the remake of the original. The newer games went a little too action oriented
Splinter Cell, Manhunt, & Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven.
These three games shaped my childhood.
Even though Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven lacked the shadow element, it was still an awesome stealth/stalk kind of game.
Corporations don't want to take creative risks or make games for a niche genre.
I still remember the first time i saw Splinter Cell in a magazine. It was jaw droping. When i downloaded a demo (that my PC struggled to run but did with low fps) i couldn't believe that was a game. The shadows used to be so realistic. By that time there was nothing like Splinter Cell.
Back when Ubisoft made great games.
Ubisoft doesn’t know what to do with a diamond
Unfortunately, the passion for competition has ruined all people in every field...
Hard to believe this was made by ubisoft
Ubisoft used to be the pinnacle of gaming. They actually used to innovate. Now they're a soulless shell of what they once were, only able to follow trends
Facts
today's Ubisoft and old Ubisoft are two entirely different companies, they only have the same name
Back in the day people praised ubisoft lol
Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell used to be the holy trinity of Ubisoft, and now all three are pretty much dead.
No we don’t, and it’s very sad. Splinter Cell is my favorite series of all time. I’m praying they revive it and do it justice.
The PvP mode playing as either a soldier or a splinter was fantastic.
We still play it to this day

Back then games had details, now it's dumbed down.
the chaos theory and double agent was best back then, along with hitman blood money
Best game both technically, mechanically etc of the genre. Can like MGS all you want, but Splinter Cell has always been leagues ahead of a stealth game and actually fun game. Tired of hoping for it to come back..
Thief and Hitman are equal to Splinter Cell
@@morkgin2459I also like to show respect to Styx, great modern stealth that can hang with the best.
Splinter Cell was an insanely hard game to make. Combining the tools/gadget mechanics with A.I, lighting, sound, and physics must be a demanding task to balance. Perhaps this is why we get NO stealth games, anymore. I think its also why Ubisoft are taking so long with the remaster.
After all these years I still got box with this game, along with chaos theory. Double agent was also decent outside of many crashes it had. After that it went downhill.
I was glued to my tv for a week when i played the first splinter cell.
Chaos Theory was the best SC in my view. Wish we could get a remake of that, since a brand new SC seems extremely unlikely.
Still waiting for any Splinter Cell game on PS4...
Sam Fisher: Grabs henchman.
“I’m going to ask you some questions.”
Pouring one out for Sam. 🍻
Definitely one of my fav games of all time. I miss these games, it's a shame we don't ge them anymore.
Man, I sure miss the old Splinter cell games. I'm not sure anyone at Ubisoft could even make these kinds of games ever again.
i miss splinter cell so much
one of my favourite games to play, back in the day
The splinter cell series IS the best stealth games ever made
-Sincerely an MGS fan
One of the first game that done 3d camera right ,if not the first. was ahead of everything out there, amazing game. when ubi were at top of their game.
Splinter cell one of my fav
I miss Pandora Tomorrow& Double Agent
I say that I think Chaos Theory is the masterpiece in Splinter Cell series. First game started it all and it was kind rough but 3rd game polished it out.
Splinter Cell, Chaos Theory, and Pandora Tomorrow defined a Generation of excellence that has yet to be matched
Splinter cell is the father mother sister and brother of the stealth gaming world
The mid 2000s were the peak of the industry. The garage band studios had money behind them, and complete freedom to create. Ubisoft, IBioware, Blizzard, Bungie, Rockstar. All small devs built from the ground up to make something great for their audience. Now, the guys who built the industry are mostly gone. And what's left is a corporate shell with every line of dialogue and every character created filtered through consultants. Marketing teams work with the dev teams to figure out how to extract maximum profits. It sucks to have been there from the beginning, to the end. But hopefully there is a rebirth.
the old splintercell games were the best!
I had a gamecube demo disc as a kid that had Viewtiful Joe, some 2d fighter with Link from Zelda in it, and Splinter Cell. I replayed Splinter Cell dozens of times but couldn't get my parents to buy it for me because it was a shooter.
Always was amazed by the stealth mechanics. I think MGS V is the only game that's taken me back to that feeling
2:39 Me at 2am hiding from the ghost.
Michael Ironside has the most badass voice in the world.
Because Gen Xers left the Video game industry. The Dreamcast, PS2,Xbox and GameCube era was the peak of gaming. That generation of games gave me everything I wanted since the 90s...Big open worlds, do what you want etc. The only thing improved in gaming is graphics. Splinter Cell, Socom Navy seals were some really ground breaking titles. Especially Splinter cell with the level of level interaction. Those of us who started gaming on Atari, Nintendo, Sega consoles etc, almost had to train our brains when playing this game to realize what was actually possible in this game in terms of shooting out lights and stuff.
Love to hear this. I hope the remake captures the same feeling the OG did
I seem to recall SYPHON FILTER with protagonists Gabriel Logan and Lian Xing being rather AWESOME gaming too, similar to the Splinter Cell series...
man this past weekend I wanted to revisit this series. I used to have them on my psn account. I figured they'd still be there. I started up my ps4 and went looking in my library.
there's no splinter cell games onthere. looked on the psn store. nothing........ SAD.
ended up watching a movie instead
The only revisit it is through Xbox. Or pc nowadays. New Xbox consoles have them. PS4 and 5 dont.. PS3 does tho
Yeah I miss splinter cell series. We haven’t even got remaster or remake.
I just watched a video of Blacklist at 4k with 4x SSAA and it still looks decent in 2024.
Just played through this last week. In my top 10 games of all time. I wish they made them like this now
Splinter Cell literally changed my life, along with the SOCOM series. I played through both series numerous times in middle school and high school and then tried to join the Navy as an intelligence specialist. The Army ended up giving me a better contract and I went there and became an intelligence collector.
Started playing SC: Chaos Theory last week... I am having the time of My life!
First splinter cell on original xbox connected to crt tv was very good
Splinter Cell is one of the best game series I played, I remember every Splinter Cell being the pinnacle of graphics, gameplay and story until they went against what that series actually was, it was stealth espionage. They turned it into an action game by being able to target enemies ahead of time and take them out either via stealth or full frontal assault. The Splinter Cell I loved was trial and error, not setting of an alarm, shooting every light and hiding every knocked out body possible to get to the goal without an alert. They need to bring this back!
It's crazy to think that a game from 02 had better lighting effects and physics than almost every game does now. I can't remember the last time a game even let me shoot out lights.
Michael Ironside just utterly nailed the character that Fisher needed. All his V.O. work for the series was immaculate.
Enjoyed the watch, thank you!
I always preferred Splinter Cell over MGS. Playing Chaos Theory during my early 20s is one of my gaming life’s hallmarks.
No one ever talks about siphon filter either...
There's a recent 50min video from GVMERS on Syphon Filter.
Indeed !
Siphon Filter is a notable serie !
I just finished Logans Shadow and Dark Mirror. Very fun.
Chaos theory is still ahead of its time
Happy memories
Splinter Cell remake is on its way, stay tuned
Hopefully the splinter cell remake is a good one.
Splinter Cell my all time favorite stealth series I hope the new game they're working on right now in 2024 brings back the great stealth gameplay and they have to get Ironside to voice Sam.
The first splinter cell games were more hardcore stealth games, from the PS360 era on, they stated making it more accessible to get more players and ended up losing the game identity
We don’t get stealth games like this anymore. That’s for certain.
There was Styx 1&2, but those are very niche now, although they are very good.
I grew up with splinter cell, all of them and they were great. Very nostalgic. Great memories. I’m 41 now.
Games are crap today I don't get what developers are doing.
With what Ubisoft is doing today I kind of hope they don't come out with a new Splinter Cell.
They’re going to ruin it by introduce some girl boss to push Fisher around and save the day.
and we never will get games like this again. Theres going to be games that resemble what was loved in the past but know that it will never reach those height for one reason or another. I encourage everyone to go emulate older games, to me they still hold up and guess what there thousands of games to play thats worth your time more so than any modern aaa release.
typo in the vid description - "The original Splinter Cell launched over two decades ago, back in 2022"..... i believe you meant 2002 😂
The knife in Chaos Theory was the mvp. 🔥
If the remake will have Sam sneaking and climbing faster than an average mf runs when late for bus as we've seen in the newest parts of the series then I think I'll pass.
How did we EVER go from chaos theory to double agent is beyond me
Loved the co-op experience
A salute to Sam Fisher and his fellow stealth mates, Iroquois Pliskin, and Gabriel Logan of a bygone era. 💪
I remember playing the demo for the first one and being absolutely blown away by the gameplay
WE NEED THIS SERIES BACK.
Sam Fisher also appeared, briefly in a mission in Ghost Recon Wildlands. It was quite awesome.
Damn i miss shooting lights out etc. Technology has got more powerful yet id argue games were more fun back in the 90s early 2000s
💯
