It’s still a few months until its August 20th release, but the information about Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist continues to flow. The latest trailer starts off with voice-modulated terror threats, but the real star of the show here is Sam Fisher and the various ways he hunts and eliminates his human prey. All the classic methods are shown off – crossbow use, sniper rifles, silenced pistols, along with the classic ‘slip up behind the enemy and disable him with your bare hands’ move that is always grimly satisfying in a game. It’s like Metal Gear Solid with more realism and less bizarrities!
And here it is, with all of its night-vision-equipped glory!
