Would you buy Splinter Cell 6?!

Considering the absolute high quality and immersive and cinematic game play of Splinter Cell Conviction! Would you buy Splinter Cell 6?!

Sick of Splinter Cell. Want Rainbow Six.

Nah, Splinter Cell franchise died a long time ago. In fact they killed the Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and Splinter Cell franchises.

Ubisoft is the epic suck now.

if they lose the drm then yes. i enjoyed conviction but had a few bad experiences with not being able to play the sp because their servers were down. love splinter cell, hate ubisoft

i had problems and lot of lag with the co-op of last game (conviction). i dont know if i will be interested. i must check the reviews and players comments first.

I don't see any point why Splinter Cell should continue anymore.

will it come to PC :P

[spoiler] without DRM [/spoiler]

Maybe. If they actually decide to make it a stealth game, and if it actually has the real Sam Fisher and not some older Jason Bourne clone.

No. Why? Ubisoft. (I am not going to by any of their 'constant internet required' drm products). They can rid their products of that form of drm or do without my cash. Just how I feel about it and my choice to choose not to support that form of drm.

No thanks. I don't think the games themselves are worth the pricetag. The first Splinter Cells were pretty cool.

No. Didn't feel appeal for the saga; never touched the Metal Gear values in production (specially in the cutscenes and plot) and I hadn't even finished the last MGS I bought (MGS 3 & MGS 4), so my interest for Spliter Cell is even lower.

If its anything like Chaos theory , then HELL YES! Conviction was TEH FAIL.tratyu92

^ Hell yes to this hell yes.

It`s in work. Will skip after Conviction, not even Jade Raymond will make me buy it.

Maybe a shift towards Chaos Theory would, but not sure now.

Personaly I think that Sam Fisher is one of the best video game characters of all times. I played and completed every single splinter cell game that came out on PC even the buggy, unstable Double Agent(which was a shame cuz DA had some interesting ideas). Conviction was bad for it's technical problems but the overall gameplay wasn't really that bad, and the new approach to stealth and shooting mechanic was an attempt to appeal to not only stealth gamers but to the action gamers as well... besides lets face it, most people online in both SC CT and Conviction was running and gunning everything anyway (it was difficult to find a good partner for stealth gameplay)... so I don't really blame Ubisoft that they've implemented some mechanics to let people actually do that if they want to. But back to the question, would i buy SC 6? I'm almost sure that i would, it builds up some hope for it to be good, knowing that Jade Raymond is on the job... =]

I thought it was stupid. Enemies spot you and shoot you in nanoseconds. You couldnt play it as an fps, you had to constantly being under cover in third person view. Thats not fps gaming. It was like a third person shooter with a gimmicky fps perspectve for movement between cover.dakan45

I havent play the previous games because they were mainly stealth games not action games. But i played Conviction because it was a action game and i like it. I will buy Splinter cell 6 only if they remove the stupid only DRM I had many problems because of this!

No. Judging by the current state of Ubisoft, even if they try to make a stealth game like Chaos Theory it would suck due to excessive gameplay streamlining.

I really want to play Conviction. But I feel daunted by Ubi's DRM. I dunno

Why do people say Conviction had no stealth...? You could play it both ways: Gun-Ho or Silent Assassin....FelipeInside

Probably because they stripped out most of the gadgets and emphasized takedowns over actually not being seen. Oh and there was that entire level which was just shooting with no stealth elements whatsoever. Ubisoft obviously didn't make the game with the series staple stealth gameplay in mind.

Nah, it's one of those games (well the whole Splinter Cell franchise) I play, really enjoy but afterwards never feel the incentive to return and play it again.

Yeah, probably. I did enjoy Conviction. I played some of the previous Splinter Cell games.. I was trying to play through Splinter Cell 1 fairly recently, but the game is soooooo tedious. I know some people can really get into those games, but I didn't end up finishing it. Conviction could do with less action, though.. that I understand. If they make it more stealth again and have a really streamlined control system that Ubisoft seems to be good at doing, then I'm all for it.

Co-op is good fun, but having terrorist hunt back in addition to co-op would be ideal.

[QUOTE="Conscrumptured"]I thought Splinter Cell died just after Chaos Theory. Double Agent was weak, and Conviction -- though slightly better -- was from the same vein of Double Agent, so I wouldn't miss Sam Fisher if he went away forever. With all the ridiculous delays Ubisoft puts Splinter Cell through, why even bother?FelipeInside

In my opinion, of course.

Disregarding every post in this thread so far, I will say this:

Yes, I will buy the next Splinter Cell.. I know the game is being looked after by Patrick Redding.. He has a very good idea of what steal is, and has said that he want's do do more with the concept of stealth and espionage.. I have faith in that guy that he will remove a lot of the "pew pew" from Splinter Cell and replace it with old school SC mechanics.. Having said that, there is nothing to say that he won't receive direction and pointers from Ubisoft execs, and be forced to create a game he feels isn't what SC is.. I will be following the development

think he meant r6.

cover was only introduced in conviction, its not integral to sc's stealth gameplay, although it did work quite well tbf

I would. Conviction was fun.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I thought Conviction was fun. Alerting enemies that you are in one spot and taking them down from another, quick takedown when you are hanging on pipes on the wall, the interrogation system, sure, it wasn't as much fun as Chaos Theory because that game was just pure gold, but if the devs came up with a new idea and implemented it reasonably well I wouldn't be against it.

But obviously they have the first three Splinter Cell's mechanics to use and they could just use that, no need to fix something which isn't broken. So yeah, I wouldn't be against whatever idea they conjure up for the sequel but I'd prefer if they went back to Chaos Theory style gameplay.

I actually enjoyed Double Agent too. Weakest link in the series, but still not bad by any means.
