Except for a severe lack of Michael Ironside, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is shaping up to be a solid entry in the franchise. For Gamescom, Ubisoft has sent us this CGI story trailer, introducing the general tone and backstory behind the new game. You know, with Third Echelon being disbanded and all, Sam seems awfully busy here. Well, all in a day’s work for the country’s most effect stealth operative, I guess.
If this trailer is any indication, it seems they’re maintaining the direction that Conviction took, making the pace feel more like an episode of 24 rather than a slower wait-in-the-shadows stealth game like the earlier entries, which is fine with me. Splinter Cell: Blacklist is coming to PS3, Xbox 360, and PC (minus Ironside) sometime in spring of 2013.
I've been gaming since my dad made the bad decision of buying me a Nintendo when I was four years old. Every day I'd find myself with my face glued to a TV screen, punching away at buttons, getting furious with Bowser, Dr. Wily, and those freakin' birds in Ninja Gaiden. Since then I have failed to get my parents to play any board game with me, I sold my full copy of Earthbound with box and guide for $300 to some dude in Austria for rent money, and I still believe in Nintendo even after all these years.
