Sam has changed - Splinter Cell: Conviction |
Ó
Sam has changed. If in Double Agent, he's had to balance trust between Third Echelon and the bad guys, in Splinter Cell: Conviction, Third Echelon's trust in Sam Fisher (and vice-versa) goes out the window.Sam has changed. In a special coverage of behind-the-scenes, Ubisoft Montreal Narrative Designer Mary de Marle revealed to IGN the changes to Sam's profile and gameplay. Sam returns to find Third Echelon a bureaucratic mess and hiding a shady conspiracy, and a threat to a good friend and comrade from back in the Splinter Cell day, and so he must now face off against his former employers.
Sam has changed. Out of Third Echelon, he no longer has access to the NSA's grab bag, and thus a lot of gameplay will change from that we're familiar with in previous Splinters:
- Sam's down with the hood. As you can see from the IGN screenie, gone is the iconic black suit, replaced by a more comfortable set of hoodies and jeans to hang with one's homies. This is deliberate: instead of hiding in the shadows, IGN reveals that Sam will have to blend with the crowd, Assassin's Creed-style. And the hoodie helps: pulling the hood over the head decreases recognizability from the authorities.
- Aside: why do we expect - with great trepidation - a ton of "Assassin's Clones" remarks in the comments?
- Sorry, only carry-ons allowed on this flight. That shoulder bag Sam's carrying also represents the limited amount of gear he can take with him at any one time. Instead, Sam will have to rely a lot more on his environment as a tool and as a weapon. Less high-tech and more street-smarts.

Splinter Cell rocks! Double Agent could have been more fleshed out though.
Are they trying to kill it on purpose?
They are killing the franchise, this aint splinter cell nomore.
there hardly killing it, theyre changing it up a little bit. I can qurantee there will still be "hide in the dark" missions. The overall feel is supposed to mimick something the like the Jason Bourne movies though. Actually sounds pretty cool.
they killed it. DA was horrible. This will suck even more ass. Id rather have splinter cell chaos theory over anything.
and wats the multiplayer? Gang fights?
resident evil stayed the same so long it was boring then out pops resi 4 a change for the better without losing the games vibe
wait and see Me thinks it will be a more action oriented game I aint no splinter cell fan but I did play the game a couple time since the first splinter cell I say it needs to be faster and thats the direction it is headed.
I loved DA's single player much more than any of the other games, but the multiplayer was a huge let-down. They need to go back to the system used in PA and CT, spies with shocker gun, mercs with three different guns and tons of equipment
