Splinter Cell (Remake)

[blackdog]

Ubisoft announced already a few weeks back that Toronto studio is working on the latest Splinter Cell title, I wasn’t sure if to post it since it’s very early days, but a post on LinkedIn just reminded me of it.

”Unfortunately” is a remake, I wonder if the intent is to then diverge going forward and tell another Sam Fisher story. I’m really curious to see how it’ll look running on Snowdrop.

Damn I wish I could work on something like this, it’s one of the first games I bought with my own money, and who knows how much time I spent on these.

Damn I've been waiting for word on the Splinter Cell series but a remake? I mean, I think it's cool and I'm happy to see that Sam Fisher isn't dead to ubi, but I was really hoping for a new title.

I thought Black List was great, especially the online co-op, some of the best time spent gaming I've ever had. 

Who know though, maybe this will be fantastic as it's the first few Splinter Cell games that have the strongest stealth mechanics in the entire line up.

+1 on the first part @Bunglo

Moreover, I am of the opposite opinion of most people (according to the articles): I would be curious to see how a sandbox Splinter Cell could look like.

I don’t know why, despite being one of my favourite IPs, I’m really not precious about it. Maybe it’s because they’ve already experimented a lot with the formula and I’ve always enjoyed it for what it was.

Blacklist: I didn’t like the implementation of the play style, “hard coding” it via the menu. But in terms of fluidity was great, I enjoyed the little I played of it. Unfortunately I didn’t complete it, one of those instances where you don’t play for a bit and then you never feel like picking it back up. When I reinstalled it I was bummed to find it was now running badly despite I had just formatted and upgraded to full SSD setup.

Haven't had the chance to try coop  I’m sure with the right person is fun. I tried it in Chaos Theory, but was laggy unfortunately.

I hope that if included, they do coop like other games that allow a friend to play for free, I’d be up to get someone onto play on me.

there's a sc remake????????

 @blackdog the single player in Blacklist took me a bit to start to enjoy, put it down after 45 minutes or so and didn't pick it up again until a friend got a copy how every many months later. The co-op made the game for me though. 

On the flipside, I thought Chaos Theory spy vs merc was complete garbage. Possibly because I kept getting destroyed regardless of which side I picked. The campaign was far better than Blacklist and Splinter Cell imo. It's my favorite in the series with the original close behind it.

Having thought about this remake a bit more, it's probably the wiser choice over a new entry. In Ubi's current state, I have zero faith they'd  be able to pull off anything worth playing. I'd rather them update the graphical fidelity of the original and not touch the things that made it great.
