Your first impression on Splinter Cell 5?

For those of you that have already checked out the trailer and previews for the new Splinter Cell: Conviction, what is your first impression?

It sure promises a big change of both structure and pace from the series standards. Maybe it's just me, but at a first glance it made me think of Shen Mue. But I might just be crazy.

What the hell have they done to Splinter Cell? It's like resident evil 4 all over again(not that it was bad)

Yeah, it doesn't look like SC anymore: it looks like a free roaming game where you have to survive, chased by everybody (that's why it kinda reminded me of Shen Mue). At least I think so: Fisher will supposedly be wanted by the NSA for what happened in the end of SC: DA (no spoilers).

It sure looks great. Splinter Cell always does. There will no doubt be our beloved sneaking (else it might even be renamed 'Splinter Quake'), but the fight scenes made me think of Virtua Fighter, instead of the usual one-hit-ko of the other games. Dynamic environment also looks amazing, can't wait to flip tables over.

A question for all of you: do you think Sam will still have the OCP goggles, after what happened in SC DA?

Holy crap! Fisher is an ass-kicking hobo now! :shock:

It just looks like a beat-em-up action game with Sam Fisher's beardy face on it. Who knows, it might be the change that's needed, as I have no interest in picking up the next SC if it remains like the others. I felt like the peak in the series was at Chaos Theory, and my interest has really begun to diminish. If they do things right, I may end up picking this one up.

I bet he still has Lamber yelling in his ear :P

Since the OCP goggles are the series logo, I think he won't have the OCP and SC-20K for the first half of the game only, then I presume he'll prove his innocence or something like that, and get his gear back.

Yes, Chaos Theory was the peak of the series, Double Agent was kind of a step back, though it rocked.

I really hope Lambert will still play a key role in the story (which will probably be deeper).

My first impressions? ''I dont like Splinter Cell, why am I watching this?''Clan_Crushbone

Maybe it's because you are changing your mind about the game.

Great signature by the way. You have my respect.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

If Ubi Soft had made yet another stealth game in the vein of the previous SC games people would be complaining about it being "more of the same."

So instead we have Ubi Soft taking some risks and trying to offer up something completely different and unique and the only responses most gamers can musterare complaints that it looks too different.

From the limited footage I've seen the game looks very interesting. Given the pedigree of the developers behind this game, I have faith it will be something prettygreat.
