Splinter Cell: Blacklist

[Snake Plissken]

I appreciate that they want VA's to do the mocap but for a character that can scale walls and all the other high-wire stuff that he does, I think there still needs to be a sacrifice for the fan loved VA to still helm it.

Cheers buddy. Great scores, I dont know why but I was expecting 6's and 7's.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Awesome. I've been waiting for this game to come out, and it's a relief that it hasn't been for nothing.

Looking at the reviews and the assorted video around on the web I just fail to see the need for ditching Ironside, the fact that everything is mocapped means bugger all when the character models aren't exactly "the last of us" pretty and the faces don't really convey much in the way of emotion either.
If I were responsible for splinter cell at ubisoft I'd be going grovelling to mr Ironside, asking him to do a dlc VoiceOver for Sam.

Ubi have given plenty of choice within the game by the look of things, how's about giving us the choice of who we listen to ?.

A lot of framed franchises are taking many unwelcome turns. I'm sure hipster kids who never even played the previous games could give a ****.

ohh hell yeaa!! getting PC version for sure.

I cant wait.

They've been trying to ditch Ironside for ages, they tried to dump him when he put up his fee (from the bargain basement prices they paid him for the previous games) for Double Agent, and then they initially didn't hire him at all for Conviction, and only reversed the decision late in the day after the online backlash came. So this has been coming a long time, unfortunately.

I knew there was no chance it would be reversed this time, when I saw that they paid Ironside to appear in a video in order to help 'sell' the transition of a new person in the role. It was smart marketing, especially as it stopped Ironside giving any negative press about the change, as he did when they originally didn't hire him for Conviction.

A potentially even bigger problem is, in my mind, that the new guy just sounds so damn bland, and seems to have very little presence or personality from what I have heard so far. So they didn't even recast with somebody talented, just with somebody cheap. And I think all fans of the franchise deserve far better than that. If you are going to slap us in the face and dump Ironside, you could at least try to get someone else who would try hard to still do the character justice. But here, again just from what I've heard, not so much.

I've been a hardcore Splinter Cell fan since the original game, it's one of my favourite gaming franchises ever, and to me, Ironside is Sam Fisher, so without him in the role I am biased, and I do find it really hard to get interested in this game full stop, even if it is a good game. I'll buy and play it eventually, but every other release in the franchise was a day one purchase for me. This one, I'll get eventually when the prices drop.

Anybody have this figure they are selling in UK?
I would like to see some pictures, It looks awesome on the marketing photos but it also looks heavily Photoshopped.

By the way, it's Available on Amazon UK

[Dead-Man]

played about 5 minutes "the Intro" and the first thing I've noticed is... the Graphics of the Game is soo Dated .. what were they thinking

let me know when one of you guys pick it up regarding the Graphics

 

[Snake Plissken]

Dated really? That sucks, makes me worried about the next Rainbow Six.

 

[Solidus]

Tactical Espionage Action ftw.

 

[Jameson Rook]

It's a tough sell for me with no Michael Ironside. Oh well, I'll get this cheap one day then.
