Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Man - I just CAN'T WAIT to see how this will turn out! A decade later, Ubisoft has finally greenlit a new Splinter Cell, sources claim | VGC WWW.VIDEOGAMESCHRONICLE.COM A new mainline entry has entered production… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I was a fan of the last two SC mainline games as well as the original three. That said, I have accepted that I am old and subsequently I am not the target demographic they want to capture. Can't wait for younger, cooler Fisher that is constantly taking selfies whilst snapping necks in the dark! The problem for most big publishers is, as ever, money. So you can count on the following being included in some form: Battle royal mode! Loot boxes! In game store! Season Pass! All of which detract from the potential quality of a focused stealth game. We need the original Thief team to make this, not Ubisoft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 It will be interesting to see what Ubisoft believes a modern day Splinter Cell will look like. There are a lot of interesting templates for inspiration from the newer Hitmans, MGS V, and Dishonored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's not too far fetched that they could pull something off in regards to a multiplayer mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably pretty well. I mean a modern day version of that would feel a lot less janky (I hope) than the ones from PT and CT. I mean I'm sure more people would be willing to play Spies vs Mercs over Hyper Scape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 The Next Splinter Cell Reportedly Has Elements Inspired By Hitman WWW.THEGAMER.COM From one stealth legend to another. Quote "The testers did not spend a lot of time with the possible Splinter Cell game. Ubisoft provided a vertical slice that was just a basic tutorial section. But this version of the game combined familiar Splinter Cell action with elements of the 2016 Hitman reboot. This does not mean this is the same game that Ubisoft greenlit. The publisher is likely always testing and considering new possibilities for its upcoming games. And any eventual Splinter Cell release may look nothing like this secret prototype from early 2021."

SoberChef Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Truthfully, in this day, Hitman is essentially the only real stealth game out there that has arguably has had profound success! Utilizing that platform to impart replayability into levels, customization options for tools/weapons to unlock for each mission, have them be sort of open-ended in how the player achieves their objectives, these are how you dig deep into the niche of tried & true gameplay in this mold yet shape it into catering for the Splinter Cell audience. That all said, it is Ubisoft, so with how they are run currently & nearly all of their titles are copy/pasted ... I'll reserve judgement until there's a playable build.

cusideabelincoln Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Blacklist was very good and had the best gameplay of any SC game. I tried to play Chaos Theory after Blacklist and it did not hold up as well as I hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I could see how open-world Splinter Cell might work if they approached it like a giant Hitman level, kind of BotW style... Here is the target and main objective; you can risk doing it right away, or you can complete objectives that give you more resources/information before you do.

Raggit Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I loved the old Splinter Cell games back on the OG Xbox. However, my gut tells me this is going to have that 'Ubisoft feel' that all of there open world games have, and I got sick of that years ago. I have no faith in this being done well.

Best Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Garbage. Open world needs to stop. Just imagine the level of detail and gameplay options a non open world Splinter Cell game could have. Now it'll be a big pile of shit. Awesome news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Alanah Pearce just had uploaded a video on her channel a few weeks ago speaking to the point of "You guys DO NOT WANT a new Splinter Cell game BECAUSE ... they'll make it open world." BOOM! Yeah, gotta say, not too keen on this endeavor but I'll wait patiently to see what unfolds & pray it isn't a half-baked idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
