New splinter cell confirmed

Wait, I don't follow this shit that closely. I just have two questions.
1. Does this indicate Ironside isn't back?
and
2. Are they doing some kind of Clancy Universe shit? I know they've always been in the same universe but they haven't had a major crossover that I'm aware of other than Sam in Wildlands.

Just going by the fact that almost all Ubisoft games are the same open world template nowadays, would not fit the series unless they done it like Hitman.

I'm pretty sure they were drunk as fuck and let it slip. They're going to get into trouble because of this.

I am a soldier. I've served my country for twenty years.
But if I'm captured or killed, I know that nobody will come to rescue me.
I won't even get a funeral.
Because the nation I protect can never admit that I exist.

So my death would go unremarked, my bones would go unclaimed.
I don't know if that day will come...
but I do know,

that it must not be today.

they indeed look drunk as hell on the twitter picutres.

Alright, anons, we know they won't return to classic style gameplay. What are modest hopes and dreams off of modern Ubisoft standards, and do you think they'd try to keep it linear or shove open world elements into it?

Attached: 1519545912957.png (371x532, 281K)

Best case scenario: blacklist 2 with rpg elements and Ironside back

Worst case: open world post-apocalyptic looter shooter reboot, Ironside doesn't return or doesn't voice the new MC

>But if I'm captured or killed, I know that nobody will come to rescue me.
>literally have a guy storming in to save your ass

I don't think modern Ubi can make a good, lives-up-to-its-legacy Splinter Cell. Period. They started losing it at Double Agent which was 12-13 years ago. And I'm not even one of those anti-SJW people either. The company and the expectations of gamers have changed. So while I'd like to see the series kept alive, unless they do a 180, I don't think it will ever be something I'll want to play again. Same with pretty much every other Clancy game.

>mfw it's an open world live service game

Fair point. I can't even imagine modern Ubisoft doing a singleplayer Rainbow Six justice without some really fucking dumb shit or the like, or keeping it like Lockdown to Vegas where it's basically just a modern shooter except you die fast.

>Creative Director
Cant help but feel this is intentional. He should know better than to breach NDA and company advertising protocol.

>literally have a guy storming in to save your ass
Lambert was more than a government suit, he was a friend

Who cares. The days of actual stealth are long gone.

It's a godamn shame. Anyone can make an arcade game, but Red Storm really had the tactical/strategic shit down to a science. And then around R6 Vegas, they just started drifting. And of course on topic, Splinter Cell which I don't think was Red Storm, even that was pretty logical. Then it just went to shit. Blacklist was alright, but still pretty far from the original vision.

Chaos Theory 3.0 please.

What the fuck was Chaos Theory 2.0?

Double Agent on Xbox was basically Chaos Theory 2.0

What about Briggs?

DA was kind of the same formula, just the story was fucking dumb. I certainly wouldn't call it CT 2, though.

Never played Blacklist, the game is good lads?

>modest hopes and dreams
That they bring in more interactions between 3rd (4th) Echelon and other nets like Voron. Maybe even some missions where you directly confront the operatives and they have full arsenal of gadgets on them.
And I'd really like for the writers that worked on additional mission dialouges in blacklist to come back. Those few interactions were the best part.

>And then around R6 Vegas, they just started drifting
Don’t forget Lockdown, fucking Lockdown.

It is if you play it strictly as a stealth game.

It's Conviction 2.0
You still don't need to hide any bodies and aren't penalized for killing enemies outside few missions.

It's an okay stealth game that you can actually pacifist-ghost in compared to Conviction, and certain scenes even tweak to accommodate for this, but the core gameplay is still Conviction and you can still go guns blazing without much penalty besides combat occurring so if you didn't like the basis of that I dunno what to say. The big problems are Briggs, who brings a brief FPS section into the mix, and the fact that Sam isn't really Sam since Ubisoft considered Ironside to be too old for motion capture and put a new actor in.

What are the best SC games? I've been wanting to try them

It's alright, 7/10 in my opinion
It suffers from being a jack of all trades, master of none. It's stealth isn't as good as Chaos Theory, and it's action isn't as good as other cover shooters like GoW.
Also the characters and voice actors act like pieces of cardboard

I even had a Gamecube, so it must have been so bad I blocked it from my memory.

Splinter Cell
Pandora Tommorow
Chaos Theory
Double Agent on OG Xbox
Blacklist (when played like a proper stealth game)

>they just started drifting
don't associate Red Storm with that shit
The last game that was developed by the original Red Storm creators
>without Ubisoft jewing them into the dirt
was Raven Shield which is still the pinnacle of the franchise over a decade later

>R6 Vegas
Nah, look up Takedown. It was literally Vegas without a cover system. And it was hated by fans and critics alike. Absolutely drowned the franchise.
>commercial and critical failure

It constantly tries to coax you into thinking ”yeah, it’s OK to play this as an action game”, but as long as you ignore that and play it as a stealth game, it’s bretty good for about 90% of its content. The last 10% is forced action sequences that suck.

Fucking finally. But NU-bisoft has me only partially hyped. Why did it take six damn years (betting 7, so they can re-release next gen) for a current gen Splinter Cell? ONE GAME PER GEN and still no Prince of Persia.

I wanna breed this fat pig

this user gets it
everyone did, it was terrible
they erased everything that made Rainbow Six unique
>inb4 you could give orders on the fly in RS3
Black Arrow, the port of Raven Shield, plays like a fucking dream in comparison to Lockdown.

Which Snake was it though?
Can't be Big Boss because he went bad so it has to be Solid Snake they're referring to.

That would be conviction

I honestly don't even remember Takedown existing. I mean now that you've said it I remember the name, but absolutely nothing else. But I do agree that Raven Shield was the last true, good R6 game, and I'm going to add that GRAW 2 PC was the last good Ghost Recon game.

You mean Conviction is the DmC of the Splinter Cell series, right? At least you can play stealthy in Blacklist, Conviction has you going loud and gunning almost everyone you see in every level.

Ironside was in the Wildlands Crossover, why would he not be in it?
Blacklist is pretty much the title where he wasn't in it, probably for other reasons other than just using an excuse for a soft reboot.

Personally i just hope they go back to SC 1-3 type of game and story and just forget about Conviction, PS360 Double Agent and Blacklist.

Splinter Cell stories were always batshit retarded, Chaos Theory arugably has the stupidest plot in the whole series, but the appeal and charm came from the characters and their chemistry with one another. Which is all but gone in Blacklist

I don't get everyone putting double agent on par with conviction or blacklist. BL on max was ok even

Please no.

>Wait, you mean I have to win one for the Gipper?

Man it was painful to try and play Conviction as a true stealth game. Too many too small enemy-filled rooms with no alternate routes, no proper gadgets for stealthing, too many open areas with no proper visual cover, it was terrible. I remember trying White House’s yard and presentation rooms so many times, until finally accepting that it’s just not possible without some autistic millisecond-tight strategy I couldn’t be bothered with.

Because that's when Ubisoft began babyfying the series

I personally enojoyed DA way more on the old gen consoles because it was made by the team that made Chaos Theory and it fucking show.
I never played the PS360 because i didn't had a console or a powerful PC for it and the PC port was a fucking mess with a few gamebreaking bugs too.
I'm not even sure you can actually buy the game on their store.

More like new dlc costume for that Ghost Recon game

He also mentioned how Chaos Theory was his magnum opus and that he can't top it anymore and wants other to have a try at the franchise. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that he's working on a new IP or something.

I thought it was good before max payne 3 came out. It's kind of mediocre really. Interrogation scenes were cool enough and so was the story, but it's pretty forgettable.

It's fine, but really mediocre. And I know you said it, but as a Splinter Cell it was terrible. That said, I would have liked to see what the initial prototypes would have become. Still probably a bad Splinter Cell, but probably more fun than the final product.

as much as i love splinter cell, there is no saving for that franchise.

I had fun with it DESU even for all its flaws. It was fun.

Still to this day one of the few good games on any platform with good Story Co-Op. Actual whole plot and doesn't just drop P2 in as a random NPC or main character clone for killin'

I don't buy Ubisoft games anymore but a 100% Co-op game like that would be tempting. Army of Two was dogshit don't suggest it.

UBISOFT, I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS

>but they haven't had a major crossover that I'm aware of other than Sam in Wildlands.
HAWX had the player covering for a Ghost squad at one point if I remember right, and Endwar was filled to the brim with Clancyverse references before they soft-rebooted the timeline with SC Conviction onwards.

I'm saying they'll be BACK... and epicerer than evar!!!1!

Ah, I didn't play those. But just based on your descriptions, I wouldn't put those in the same category as Sam in Wildlands.

holy shit this. New Splinter Cell like the new Hitman games.

meh, they were competent enough
>bad guy go here, threatens to do that, somebody double crosses
I'm pretty sure there are at least two or three instances where they recycled the same exact eco-terror threat... but I mean, it's a vidya game about a fucking spy. not a soap opera.. the less you knew about him the more you the player could build them up

Update: Since publishing this story, a Ubisoft representative told IGN that Julian was "joking" with his tweets regarding a potential new Splinter Cell.

"Julian was obviously joking as Julian likes to do. It looks like our creative directors are having fun right now. We do not have any announcements to make at this time," the Ubisoft representative told IGN via email.

Get fucked.

Im having fun with mgs 5 atm, would like to play another fun stealth game, is chaos theory worth playing or is it outdated?

Looking it up, HAWX 2 was actually based in the same exact conflict as Ghost Recon Future Soldier. Technically it was a little botched, Future Soldier's development hell resulted in the plot being rewritten a bit so it wasn't quite stable, but you still get bailed out by a HAWX flight unit in the latter game.

It's better than MGSV.

How can I play chaos theory?

Lol, that game is dead and buried as far as ubishit's concerned

they started doing that long before he was dead
but Clancy Actual made sure he got paid, and Ubisoft still writes his family checks...
also, Boomers like Clancy aren't all that interested in vidya tbqfh. His only investment in Red Storm was when he was still cranking out best seller novels. Sold it off as soon as it got hot.

it's because they actually made him do motion capture, and for some reason decided not to dub over or re record his dialogue

He wasn't given any direction, probably because it's just some free dlc
He was really good in Conviction in terms of acting

Wildlands cross over events have always been rushed, buggy and utterly half assed garbage that are almost guaranteed to break.

It was nice to hear Ironside voice him again though.

Ok so knowing modern Ubisoft, how would an open world SC work? Ass Creed 1 with guns?

It's not going to be open world. It's going to akin to Chaos Theory.

Tactical shooter now means you can instantly kill 16 enemies silently with the push of a button with zero effort.

>sync shots can be executed with up to three deployable mini drones, so even solo players can synchronize up to four headshots. Since all progression and gear is shared across solo and co-op, all four human squad members can bring their drones to the party, meaning a full co-op team can execute a massive 16-target sync shot.

Its presentation was stylish as fuck, I'll give it just that.

I understand that Raven Shield is considered the pinnacle of Rainbow Six, but Rogue Spear will forever be my favorite. I need to find a copy. Do you know if it works on Win10 or are there fixes needed?

best case scenario for the open world : something like a Snake Eater or Escape from NY type scenario where they drop Sam in. There's no huge rural outdoors areas , instead it's all Urban, with bases similar to something like Ground Zeroes and many passages and routes to get around

not that I want an open world, but if they are gonna do it

Wow an anime faggot says something stupid, color me surprised.

It's not going to be open world; it's a stealth game.

uh huh

>It's not going to be open world; it's a stealth game.
This has got to be the dumbest post in this thread given Ubisofts line up of games for the last decade.

what is MGSV?

it's ubisoft, you can't rule it out.

>what is MGSV?
Not a stealth game, for starters.

This is a good post on every account
Also I remember taking with a friend at the time, this game should have been a spin off

Doubtful. Raven Shield was at least on what, Unreal 3 or something? Rogue Spear doesn't even have WASD-controls. It's pretty ancient.

Raven Shield was Unreal 2. The same engine as UT2003/2004, which Duke Nukem Forever heavily modified itself from (yes, DNF wasn't even UE3, the standard at its time). Honestly it's surprising how little you hear about UE2 titles, since UE3 was the one that took industry prominence.

smaller but more detailed, and structured kind of like Arkham Asylum, in that there is a story that plays out and you can open up new areas

>Rogue Spear doesn't even have WASD-controls.
I don't remember if they're default or not, but you can definitely set them. And if they aren't, it isn't a mark of the time because every other FPS back then had WASD.

The story is boring and standard Tom Clancy affair. They made the characters cool but forgot to make the plot interesting.

Sorry, my mistake. My point was that the game engine is still fairly practical.
I knew it was 2 or 3 because the game came with a full UE sdk...

speaking of, what the FUCK ever happened to mod support??

I just played the Splinter cell mission in ghost recon wiildlands. Funny thing is it mirrors the worst part of splinter cell games over the years. You start by going full stealth can't even kill anyone, and then it turns into a defend an area as enemies attack you shootout. baka

Blacklist was good though

My modest hope is fun missions. I remember playing Conviction a long time ago and being kinda disappointed with the levels and having way less tools, especially non lethal ones. But I know they'll shove cinematic set pieces that will force me into combat or some chase sequence.

It hurts bro
I've spent a lot of hours playing Pandora tomorrow multiplayer demo

Unreal 2 got a bit of love, Postal 2, Bioshock 1/2, Brothers in Arms 1/2, Republic Commando, SWAT 4, Thief Deadly Shadows, Rainbow Six Vegas, Ghost Recon 2 and I *think* Advanced War Fighter on console (PC was a different game/different engine made by GRIN), literally all of the Splinter Cell games were Unreal 2 as well.......including Blacklist.

Most major triple-A games are made with like, a dozen or more different middleware tools and factors that make it a nightmare as is to manage it all, and unfeasible for mod creators to make a whole lot on their own without all that middleware. The other primary reason is that they would cut into DLC profits for most modern games, so modding became a thing of the past.

This.

Fuck you, retards like you are why stealth games suck now

>speaking of, what the FUCK ever happened to mod support??

No one would buy yearly iterations of games and overpriced DLC if we had proper mod tools.

I have over 20GB of Ghost Recon 1 mods, I literally have more free content than Ubisoft could ever hope to jew out of me with loot boxes and yearly passes in 20 years.

Get off the computer grandpa, its time for the nurses to empty your bedpan.

This. Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but it's certainly what devs/publishers think.

It's an Ubisoft property

You're obviously someone who can't play a stealth games without enemies being visible through walls and having an arrow over their heads.

>The game's cast will be familiar faces like Michael Ironside and Kevin Bacon, as well as newcomers like Aaliyah (played by Jennifer Connelly), the ex-girlfriend/daughter duo of Danny Rand/ The Jackal, and the newly-crowned Queen of the Flood, Anaïs (Julien Laurence), and will also feature some brand new characters including John Hurt's iconic character, Jack himself.

user there are at least 101 buttons on the standard English keyboard. PC games back then had a ton of bindings compared to now. But they still generally used WASD for movement.
Now I'm not going to swear to the fact that the game was WASD by default, but being a weird ass back then that used Mouse 2 to move forward and always had to rebind things. I don't know what I rebound it from, but there wasn't a single key in that era that I didn't have to rebind.

Nice

This may seem unimportant to some of you, but they really need whoever wrote the dialogue for the first 3 games back. I want Sam to be making references to Ronald Reagan movies again, not acting like Jack Bauer.

Must be hard playing a game for more than ten minutes without getting an achievement, XP or a rare loot drop. I guess it's a good thing you've got daddy's credit card to go and buy some sweet loot boxes for that dopamine hit.

Go and take your ADHD meds faggot.

I just find it very surprising as it used to be an industry standard
>yearly release
so... why not... for last years game? then?

I've seen too many mod teams get cease and desist orders when the fan/playerbase is dwindling in the double digits.
You're not even robbing them of profits at that point.

Yeah. I love 24, but I also love Splinter Cell for different reasons.

I only need a Splinter Cell 1-3 4k hdr re-release and maaaaaybe a Blacklist + 4 (ps2 version) remaster to help me wait

splinter cell with ground zeroes levels could it work

Attached: 1553256844743s.jpg (125x125, 3K)

maybe it was incompatibility?
my point still stands - Rogue spear did NOT work (at all) on Windows 10 when I tried it about a year ago. When I got it to work on Win7, the controls were a different enough to make a mental note of it.

>so... why not... for last years game? then?
Because that's time and resources better spent developing DLC and yearly passes for last years game that you can sell for 10X the cost of the base game.

We now live in a world where developers will charge you for weapon skins, player cosmetics etc.......all of those are the bread and butter of mods past.

I hope they totally lean into his boomer humor for this next one. Maybe he'll joke that millennials are killing the arms industry, or Grim makes some dumb reddit pop culture reference and it goes completely over his head, or midlife crisis jokes when he gains new high-tech equipment

Ground Zeroes is what The Phantom Pain should've been. If they go open world then I wouldn't mind Ground Zeroes sized maps for levels.

They won't.

Tell me one more time that they won't do it, user. Tell me everything will be alright.

They won't.

hbnngh

they will, they know people only buy SP games with open worlds, it'll also have multiplayer focus

Well now we're talking about two different things. Again, still not swearing by it being WASD by default, but it certainly wasn't anything to do with incompatibility. Just out of curiosity and boredom I googled it, and the only thing I can find is someone saying he wanted to copy&paste Rogue Spear's WASD controls into R1. Even the official manual doesn't say list default movement controls. But yeah, I can't say it with 100% certainty, but given that every other PC shooter was using WASD at that point, I'm pretty sure Rogue Spear did too.

>people only buy SP games with open worlds
This isn't true at all, though.

Co-op was buggy as fuck until about 6 updates later.

Ubisoft would find some way to miss the entire mark

You may be right. I'm second guessing myself now, because Rogue Spear and it's expansion (name escapes me) had a great multiplayer community, and I don't think it would have thrived as much as it did if people had to relearn a new control scheme...

Maybe I messed up. I don't know. But something happened when I tried playing Rogue Spear and Rainbow Six on PC.
I just wanted a perspective on some of the level design so I could try to replicate it for a Source game. I remember making a mental note, like
>huh, never seen controls like that
>guess it makes sense
>lets try it out

I don't understand.

I had fun. I pirated it

Well as a former level designer from that era and a current indie dev, I would say what made those games special (and other great games from that time), was the openness and ability to complete levels/scenarios multiple ways. Some devs today try to do it, but the 00's were the height of that shit.
That said, even if I'm not remembering the controls correctly, I would still implement a more modern control scheme or you're going to alienate a lot of today's braindead idiot gamers because they won't take the time to learn or reconfigure the default mapping.

Also I really wanted to like Prey but it bored me to death.

Blacklist was an okay game, its only flaw was Commander Shepherd as the main protag instead of Sam

>Siege's characters have also appeared in Wildlands, so despite lacking an inherent plot they do exist in the nu-Clancyverse
You now realize not a single operator from Siege is a member of Rainbow Six.
They are from special forces outfits from around the globe. Pretty sure they have their own videos and bios in game.

Yeah? It sucks but you not using a digital video game store isn't going to fucking change anything.

>openness and ability to complete levels/scenarios multiple ways
And to add to this - the real-world, practical architecture and locations. In my completely unprofessional meaningless opinion, a lot of FPS games try to mimic this but with a heavy dose of "creative freedom" or whatever you want to call it... Entire buildings or particular floors completely inaccessible to the player.

Definitely fuels the immersion, because each map feels like you are deploying into an actual location. Not a warded off, shelled out battlezone. An unforunately rare gameplay experience.

If given to a competent team that was not forced to create a combat element, aka actually designing levels around stealth, then yes.We really havent had a proper stealth game for years, IMO if you are not biting your nails crouching in a dark corner for at least some part of the time then its not a steath game.

Guy you're replying to here; I agree with that when it comes to tactical games like these, which is what we're talking about, and I agree we don't see enough of those these days, but as a side note, I personally love the wacky shit when it's appropriate and done right. Most recent example I can think of is that time-bending level from Titanfall 2. That shit blew me away. As a fellow designer, amateur or not, I kept finding myself going "whaaaaat theeee fuuuuuuck"
