Splinter Cell Blacklist - Screenshots!

I dont get the complaints with the new Splinter Cells. I loved Conviction and Blacklist looks awesome. Ive been a Splinter Cell fan from the beginning. Saying they removed the stealth elements is one of the stupidest things Ive ever heard. You are still killing people in stealth, you are just killing groups of guys instead of one at a time so they dont even have a chance to alert other enemies. It is now just more efficient/fast way of killing in stealth.

The original Splinter Cell games weren't about killing people. The whole objective was to avoid the enemy completely ( stealth ). You kill people in action games, not in stealth games.

You can take a look at my blog if you want to see how little gameplay Conviction truly has compared to its predecessors. People just want a smart & real stealth game. Conviction was just a murdering simulator, not even a stealth game in the slightest.

Honestly, I liked Conviction and will likely purchase this at some point and enjoy it.

I do miss the stealth found in past games though...

What are you talking about? There were some missions where you couldnt use lethal force but in most missions you could. Your gripe is that you cant sneak through the game without encountering an enemy? Who played Splinter Cell like that? That has to be the most un-fun way to play the game.Miketheman83

Why hasn't Sam Fisher died of old age yet?Shottayouth13-

Looks like another half baked action game.

RIP stealth genre.

What? Your future opinions on Splinter Cell series are now automatically irrelevent.

That was the fun. You're clearly a generic action gamer who just wants to hold down the trigger & shoot stuff. I dont play games to shoot stuff.

The fun was trying to sneak through the game without ever being noticed. You had to be smart, patient & strategic, the game felt rewarding. Every time you encountered an enemy you would nearly have a anxiety attack from the tension of trying to sneak by.

That was what made it fun, thats what the game was all about. People play Splinter Cell for that very reason, they play Splinter Cell to get away from action games, they play it to get away from a generic shooter gameplay.

They want that tension, the fear, that vulnerability, the anxiety, while trying be a Ghost, never being seen or noticed, the entire way through, with no evidence of you ever being there. That is something unique, that is called....... a stealth game.

You sir, are the reason the game industry is going to sh!t.

Well said,completing SC levels without killing anyone and without being detected are easily some of the most rewarding expereinces I ever had in gaming...

Sad to see we won't ever see a true SC game again.Sadly,from a bussiness standpoint,the market for a hardcore stealth game is almost non-existent.The user you responded to is a good proof of that :(

Yep & this is why Conviction & its sequel ( Black List ) will never be able to satisfy anybody looking to play a stealth game. Its a real shame. I have been waiting for a stealth game since Double Agent. To this day im still waiting......

Thye should just make the SC games like Chaos Theory. That way you don't have to kill enemies if you don't want or you can go the action route.

In terms of quality you can even tell that the series has gone down hill since Chaos Theory. Every game has scored in the low 80's since then. Where as before the games scored high 80's and even 90's.

Looks more of a generic shooter and less of a stealth action. I was hoping Ubisoft would go backwards with splinter cell and bring it back the to days of chaos theory and pandora tomorrow.

looks like yet another splinter cell game I wont be buying..make my game a shooter and I stop playing it. still have my 3 originals for xbox. best splinter cell games to date. all this tech and we cant even beat games put out 10 years ago..

It's hilarious to watch people argue over a difference in opinion. Personally, I like a bit of both. Personally, sneaking through without being seen or killing an enemy is pretty satisfying.

lol why does he have those goggles on during the day?!:?

Yes because people would rather encounter enemies than avoid them thats why the industry is dying. Lol I wonder if people like you realize how stupid you sound.Miketheman83

I dont think you understand.

Why is that you have it in your head that gaming must be all about killing as many things as possible? What does gaming have to be about killing? Does Portal need a gun & enemies to kill too? It offers a challenge, a puzzle, something unique & different. Something more than mindless killing.

What about Journey, Amnesia? I mean god forbid games offer completely different experiences, challenges, complexity or gameplay.

Nope. We all just want to shoot stuff. In that case gaming has very little to offer. I've been there, done that a million times already. Maybe you should join the army if you're looking to engage with hostile enemies.

Games like BODYCOUNT would be right up your alley since you demand nothing more of gaming than running around in circles shooting things.

Miketheman83 thinks gaming is nothing more than........pew,pew,pew,pew,pew. Do you want me to stand behind you & pretend im shooting at you? Do you get off on that?

That is not Sam Fischer no way no how

chikenfriedrice

It's also not Michael Ironside, some new guy.

GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE! http://n4g.com/news/1010230/splinter-cell-blacklist-debut-trailer-5-minutes-of-footagesoapandbubbles

That looks pretty good. It will probably be a bit of both of stealth and action based. Which is not going to please a lot of fans of the original games.

although the series moved to being more action oriented rather than stealth i still liked SC:Conviction and personally think SC:Blacklist is gonna be another good title in the series..
