Splinter Cell, The Division, Ghost Recon Crossover Game Leaks Ahead of Ubisoft Forward

Further proof that Ubisoft just don't know what to do with Sam. If they can't make it fit their typical mould of open-world busy work and cram it with MTX then why bother I guess.

I'm already ignoring it.

Honestly why do they continue to Sam like this. Just give us Chaos Theory remake/remastered I don’t care (kicks door). I’m really upset by this…

"online PvP"

@get2sammyb it just comes across as them taking the piss out of the splinter cell fans.

feels sour tbh.

rage intensifies

Why do they keep doing this to me?

My mobile didn't ask for this

Ubisoft, the Kings of characters you want in the games you don't

What are they playing at? Maybe the Ubisoft boss needs to step down, he's been there a long time and needs to ask his children for advice on whether it's a good game or not. That can't be a good sign can it?

They stopped making them for a reason, they weren’t popular enough. Time to move on and create better new games and characters and not get caught up with the childish emotion of rehashing old ones because it’s been a while. It being a while doesn’t change that it died of natural causes. Move forward or watch the industry shrink and become even more dumbed down than it has been already period

@ElMarko i'd take a new splinter cell over ghost recon, rainbow six, the division and the current ac games, today! Far cry is hanging on but thats it. This future you speak of is shocking.

Articles like these make me wish for a second PlayStation all-stars game

Was it Tom Clancy?

Ubisoft should just sale the splinter cell franchise to someone else. They aren't gonna do anything with it

Splinter what? Who Cell?
Oh you mean the Metal Gear Solid guy? What was his name, Sam Snake?

Seriously though, Splinter Cell is going to continue to be cameo/crossover food, which is a shame.

If this is the level of the "surprises" they have planned for E3 then we are in for a disappointing show from Ubisoft.

It really is a head scratcher why we haven't seen a new Splinter Cell in ages. The style of Tatical Espionage stealth is a STARVING market! Hopefully Ubi will get the memo soon. Hopefully this is a side project and an actual Splinter Cell is in the works somewhere over there at Ubi.

@Loftimus that’s no reason to go backwards

@Loftimus it takes misses to get the new hits. If you rehash old ***** you’ll never get new hits

Much like Beyond Good & Evil,or Rayman Origins, I'd settle for a low-effort port of their Splinter Cell PS3 compilation at this point purely as I don't trust their live service open world mtx grindfests to make a good,new game anymore!😕
Its ironic how a few years ago everyone was anxious that Vivendi were chasing Ubi,much like Take Two/Rockstar being bought by EA! You'd hardly know the difference anymore!

Super Shoot Bros: Uni Edition. Everyone is here!!! Sam Fisher! Military Guy! Paramilitary Guy!

I still firmly believe they could have taken the blueprint from GR Wildlands and made it into a single player Splinter Cell game.

Have Sam sent into a country to destabilize it through his classic stealth shenanigans (sets it up for the open world). Playing Wildlands stealthily was the best way, anyhow. And without the squad allies, it'd automatically be harder. Add a bunch of stealth-focused improvements and moves and you'd have yourself a great game that could push the series in new directions.

@Envy I don't think they would be able to just sell the splinter cell franchise. That would almost mean having to split the right to the Tom Clancy name as well.

This is the dumbest ***** I've seen in along time.

@Floki well, then I at least hope Ubisoft will get off of there a**es when perfect dark remake comes out because supposedly it's gonna be like splinter cell so maybe that'll get them to make a another SC

@TeapotBuddha They already brainwashed the new generation anyway. Its a pro that games get annoucements to preorder DLC, multiple seasonpasses in fighters with classic characters in there get praised for keeping a game alive, releasing a broken that gets fixed if they like it (is populair enough).

Corporate won by making the new generation think its all normal. And here its all celebrated on Pushsquare.com while lying to your face that games should not be more expensive then €60 which they havent been for ages.

A €59,99 game that gets a gold annoucement release before it even releases. All with DLC codes so they kill off the secondhand market. I was kinda baffled that part two of a game is bad thing now.

These horrible €70 games that are finished on release nobody wants that crap. We need those expansive stretched out games filled with busywork. With some XP Boosters but that not bad because its optional. 🤪

@Rob_230 well its not Rider's Republic so we got this.

@ElMarko What a utter ***** why is everyone acting like need to fix something that is not broken.

Tom Clancy games have become a hot mess of nothingness. They keep making dumb games that on the surface want to talk about the modern political issues we're facing, but when you play the game they completely dismiss those issues and just want you to have "fun".

Neil Druckmann has repeatedly tweeted about this and I couldn't agree more. If your work includes moral/philosophical themes, then your work is inherently political. Ubisoft wants to have those moral/philosophical standpoints and yet distances itself from the politics of Tom Clancy games.

And this is another one of those things. They wanna make money off Sam Fisher but they're not willing to make a Splinter Cell. Mark my words, when they do make a new Splinter Cell game, it'll be a really really bad rip-off of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people who keeps saying Splinter Cell is an MGS rip-off. Quite the opposite, I really like Splinter Cell and it had some original ideas for the tactical espionage genre. But Ubisoft only wants to make open-world games now, and Splinter Cell was never open world. It just doesn't fit the bill. Kojima, however, managed to pull that off. He made a decent stealth game that is open world (It's arguably still the best tactical stealth game out there). Having played some of Ghost Recon Breakpoint, I can tell you they ripped off MGS5 mechanics very poorly in that game. It won't be surprising for Ubisoft to do the same with a Splinter Cell.

Sorry for the block of text, I just felt like ranting a little.

@ElMarko i think ratchet and clank is as old as splinter cell. Theres a lot of hype for that apparently...

@Sam-Bridges God forbid you get a message across in game. (or anybody)

Its always funny the people calling people snowflakes are acting like snowflakes themselves.

Look, I am all for waiting for the final product to make a judgement. That said, this simply just doesn't sound like what they should be doing with Fisher, and now makes me wish that we never see him in a game. It's almost as if the idea of a mainly single player game oozing with stealth, is now somehow anathema to them.

@Loftimus because that is popular enough to survive therefore it has merit. Splinter cell does not

@ElMarko it does. Ubisoft made splinter cell xbox only, that's what killed it. It would have done alot better had it been multiplat.

I would love a new Division + Splinter Cell game. It would be a perfect combo.

Just not an online PVP game. Give me a Story missions and online Co-Op.

@Flaming_Kaiser I'm all for entertainment for the sake of entertainment. I have no problem with that, I enjoy mindless fun as much as the others. But that's not the argument, the argument is when the game presents itself as a "profound" commentary on certain issues but dodges the themes left and right. I'm barking at Ubisoft because they label their games under Tom Clancy's name, who wrote political fiction thoroughly exploring the same themes.

I believe there is a market space for a single player tactical espionage game like Splinter Cell. The Hitman games sale numbers is an indication of that. Maybe the new 007 game being developed also by IO interactive will fill the space (that is a big maybe).

But yeah.. asking for a tactical espionage single player game based on a classic franchise does feel more and more like screaming into the void.

@Loftimus incorrect. Only one of them was Xbox exclusive and the last one was on all platforms

@hoffa007 🤣🤣 they obviously heard us talking. Question is what would be a better cross-over 🤭🤔

@Sam-Bridges You cant make a game a certain issue without making a statement. The gun thing in the Division. And why could you not have fun with a game that has a certain idea about something. If i could not watch or play anything thats not 100% on par with my personal opinion i probably would miss out on a lot. Especially with Ubisoft questionable company background.

@TeapotBuddha Its like trying to be edgy or making a point but saying no no i dont have a opinion.

@ElMarko it only takes one. Look at tomb raider. Was there only 2 games after double agent?

@Loftimus double agent was released in 2006. There was also a tomb raider game released in 2006. Not counting that one there has been 7 other tomb raider games released after 2006 with them set to announce another one on Ps5 bringing the total up to 8

@ElMarko yeah i see what you're saying, but i was talking about rise of the tomb raider bombing on ps after its exclusive run on xbox. I don't think shadow did very well on ps either, though probably better than rise.

@Loftimus true true. Also I think in general people (the masses aka the vast majority that drive or kill sales) are hesitant to pay full price or even close to full price for games that aren’t either multiplayer focused or epic (aka great and long) open world games. It still has a place, albeit a very much smaller one, but linear games are very much dinosaurs from a time past. The best ones in the genre still live on of course but that genre evolved because it was the maximum the consoles were capable of while still having high end graphics and now we can do fully open worlds AND have high end graphics at the same time so somewhat we’ve moved on. I still love tomb raiders tho, and Uncharted games with Nathan Drake in them, but haha I ain’t even looking at them when a AAA open worlder that right up my alley is out 😉

Images are dead on the twitter embedded, but still available via Image Search.

No interest in this, but to be honest, I wouldn’t trust Ubisoft to make a decent Splinter Cell game that wouldn’t be barstardised into an open world RPG full of microtransactions & no gameplay that relates to the former games.

Ubisoft, please at least show some respect to Tom Clancy & not exploit his name with your turd franchises.

Just give us Splinter Cell & Rainbow Six Vegas remakes & you can go turn all your other games into generic porridge

@Rob_230 thats for sure 😄 good question, I'll be happy with just a Splinter Cell/Splinter Cell crossover personally 😆

It's a shame what they are doing to this franchise. The reason that the last game didn't do so well is because Sam Fisher wasn't Sam Fisher any more. The biggest mistake was to change Micheal Ironside as the voice of Sam Fisher. Like others said there is a big hole that needs to filled in stealth games. Already everybody is so fed up with open world games, especially from Ubisoft. Once my favorite developer, they really lost touch with their fan base, and they are continuing to disappoint fans with this kind of news (PoP including)

out of the big 5 publishers, ubisoft is at the bottom of the pile. i can't find many ways they could posibly get any worse these days. they have no passion, are utterly complacent with rehashed sequels and are real bad at project managment (beyond good and evil 2 has died 3 times already lol). even activison did a good job in re-vitalizing the crash and spyro series... something that cannot be said of any ubisoft IP. at this point, all the splinter cell fans have moved on and no longer care about the IP. to be honest, i don't even think anyone at modern day ubisoft would be capable of making a proper sequel unless they created a brand new team and poached talent from elsewhere. at any rate, ubisoft SUCKS if i didn't already make that clear
