AndroidFox Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 First screenshots from Ubisoft's as-yet unannounced Splinter Cell Blacklist have been posted online by French site Gamekyo.The images depict series star Sam Fisher storming a dusty Middle Eastern settlement dressed in desert camouflage gear. It's broad daylight, but Fisher's iconic trifocal goggles return. Fisher is shown wielding a pistol and assault rifle, and brandishing a knife in a close-quarters group fight. You can shoot from behind cover, and while hanging from buildings. A crossbow with electric darts also makes an appearance. Fisher's location, Mirawa: Jadid Basecamp, is shown in the game via some sort of holographic hub. It's a bit Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, and also brings to mind the in-game projection introduced by Blacklist's immediate predecessor, Splinter Cell: Conviction, an outing that also introduced a more action-heavy agenda to the series. "Where once players were free to tackle Splinter Cell's enemies in myriad, improvised ways, now the options are more limited, traded for an upped tempo that's more Arkham Asylum than Metal Gear," wrote Simon Parkin upon the game's release two years ago. "At its best, Conviction is played as a high-stakes puzzle game, taut and thrilling when everything is going your way. But when cover is broken, the floodlights go up to reveal a mediocre shooter." The much-rumoured next Splinter Cell is being developed at Ubisoft Toronto under the guidance of Jade Raymond. Ubisoft's E3 press conference is tonight, at 11pm UK time. Expect to hear more then. Screens in the spoiler below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndroidFox Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Does this play like conviction? I love the stealth ones, but conviction looked like so much fun. Looks a lot like Conviction judging from the gameplay. Less sneaky sneaky, more shooty stabby.

Parker Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm a big fan of Conviction even though it went in another direction than the other Splinter Cell games, and this one looks like a spiritual successor so I'm sure it will be great too.

DanielVT Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Damn that looks awsome, didn't even know about this, will have to keep an eye on this Same here! lol I have never played a Splinter Cell game, but this looks FLAT OUT AWESOME!!!! I desperately hope this is not a 360 exclusive since it was shown at Microsoft's press conference. However BLOPS 2 was shown and that was multiplatform as always, so I thing the odds are in our favor. Besides, Microsoft being the jerks they are would have made it a headline that it was an exclusive game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
