I am speechless about the gaming community. We've been waiting for a Splinter Cell return for years. Of course, after all this time, a company has to test the waters to see if the series still has strength on the market. They rightly do a remake, I have read the interview and the developers seem to have fully grasped the essence of the original trilogy. Then go to social networks and see insults, people talking about NFT, people who want a sequel that the new users would not look at in the least. I hope that Ubi, does not listen to social networks, the most lousy and toxic part of the videogame community. We have the opportunity by supporting this remake, to prove that not only do we want Splinter Cell, but we want it as the first trilogy, every fan's dream of the series and instead I read nonsense comments. I am sincerely ashamed.
Never cared much about remakes/remasters/reboot and the like, BUT in ubisofts case i am glad that the project is not an open-world game, so good news on that front.
Lets see some gameplay now and see what they have done, the article makes it seem like they have some knowledge on the basics of SC but words are meaningless.
Good luck on the team.
I am mostly interested to see if they include the cut levels this time (PowePlant,MiningTown,Severonickel,Shipyard)? Or make some new ones.
I'd rather see a remake rather than an open-world game. Now I just hope that this remake will be faithful to the game and to the roots of the franchise by going back to a hardcore stealth gameplay. I don't want Blacklist gameplay to be used for that remake, not the customization system.
And if they want to modernize some levels and make them more open then once again take inspiration from Hitman.
What they're saying is nice but I'm not fooled anymore by Ubisoft marketing since a long time so I'll trust them only when they'll show something going in the right direction.
Anyway it seems that there won't be any multiplayer so they would be able to focus completely on the singleplayer experience.
I hope Ironside will also be back with new lines and new dialogues. And it will feel good to see Lambert back.
I also hope they'll include the cut levels, and also the bonus levels (the one from PS2 and the three others from Xbox/PC).
And hopefully they will take our feedback into consideration and read us, it could be a great new restart for Splinter Cell or it could be a huge failure. So let's remain cautious and hope for the best.
HOOOLLEEEE SHIIIIII***T. SOMETHING in the right direction. If this is what it appears like, they're completely disregarding where the series was headed and pretending it didn't exist. Hopefully this is not just a remake, but a full reboot like Hitman did. They mentioned choices in traversal, linear levels, alarms... they actually mentioned alarms and acknowledged them. It has to be in the game. If they're acknowledging certain things, this makes the impression that they will be included in the game. I really hope so. Things sound good so far, but as always, seeing the actual product is what's going to matter. I'm clutching onto whatever hope I have. Please don't make it in vain, Ubisoft.
knowing UBI...
it will either be an AI upscale quick job
or
They going to "Remake" by Remake... i mean reimage the OG splinter into modern UBI vision. which will be a bigger insult than simple creating an open world SC with microtransaction.
the last option which i have zero hope for and been giving zero reason to believe UBI can pull anything off... is for UBI to have their own RE2 Remake moment. a Reimage of the OG values and brought into the modern world.
