Splinter Cell: Blacklist

I understand and like their decision to go full on performance capture. Look at a game like Halo 4's cutscenes which are performance capture and they're phenomenal. Eric Johnson seems to have taken the reigns very well
 
Even so I think this thing made a bad back lash. Ign could have not put that one up on the voice over actor . it's real shame they replaced Ironside . and this is just more fuel to have reason to hate this . Even though is was some what known. those that are just angry will just want to spite thing. and commentators on Ign tick me off. (oh well) I hope this title is just good and it turns all that around.

Yea i agree with the assessment that performance capture adds to the overall performance, but idk, i think you can get just as good a performance bringing in just a voice actor. Thats what IO did with Hitman: Absolution, the original plan was to use William Mapother as the mo cap, performance cap and voice actor, but at the 11th hour, they realized that his voice wouldnt of been nearly as good as David Batesons, so they brought him back in to re do the dialog. I think they could of done the same here with Fisher.

The ONLY reason i dont have any issue with this, is, believe it or not, iv felt Fisher has needed replacement since Chaos Theory. I thought they should of brought a new agent in or they should of rebooted Fisher the way they did with Bond in Casino Royale. Outside of them using storylines from the past game, it seems as though they are kind of going that route. Fisher looks and sounds younger, same with Grimm.
 
I'm thinking / hoping this just a lead up to sam taking more of a role to be the director like what happened with Rain six's carter which is only in the novel form. but was shown little of, for those that played the series. when that character formed Rain bow six he was still pretty active with the early parts and it took a bit since he was a hands on person but he steadily went to the background as his agency and called the shots form their HQ. as they became bigger and he had chavez take over the field work.


I have this feeling that this is what they wanted to do with this. But cause of what happened with changing Ironside voice over wise they might have screwed them selves over. and this topic coming isn't help the cause. and unlike Hitman(where they brought the voice actor for him back in time) they can't delay it now to bring back Ironside.

I dont think theyve screwed anything over. If this new guy does a good job and the game is good, people will move on.

As I said that's what I'm hoping but it can go ether way. but once a fan base of a franchise have decided to make an example of a game...... I hope the game play and the new actors performance turn stuff around.
 
This game in a way seems like a reboot. New voice actors, Sam looking younger. I know the story is a continuation but a series like this it'd be easy to reboot it while maintaining somewhat close to the storyline.

I kinda wanted them to just reboot after the last game, but on the other hand i thought it would of been cool to see Fisher take on a more leadership role within 3rd Echelon, which pretty much is exactly what has happened.

Either way, im looking forward to the game. I just wish they wouldnt have caved to pressure and left the torture aspects in, that was sooo Jack Bauer and i was looking forward to putting the squeeze on some terrorists.
 
Yes that would have been awesome. I loved the interrogation sequences in Conviction
 
  1. This was shown yesterday and it shows some of the interrogation though and a bit more on what you can do customization wise. I hope you have more then one way to do so. Interrogation wise some times just trick them works better. Any ways here it is

I'm going into the game thiking it's a reboot. Because a sequel doesn't make sense at this point. He's younger in voice and looks.

You'll just have to ignore all the story elements that tie directly into Conviction. But yea, im kinda looking at this as a reboot as well. Younger Fisher with gameplay/story elements that seems to be closer to Chaos Theory than Conviction.
 
They're such small connections to Conviction that they can easily consider it a reboot.

Eh idk. 3rd Echelon has been disbanded and Sam is now the leader of a new govt program called 4th Echelon, all because of the events that transpired in Conviction. We even have characters, apart of Sam and Grimm from Conviction that are returning for this game.

Like everything coming out late in the year..Anyone know of talks about this coming to next gen consoles? I may get it...but if there has been talk about a next gen port, again...I may hold off.

If not, this will totally be my last game for this gen.
 
No there has been zero discussion on this being a next gen title. It's possible it'll get a port as I don't see that being too difficult to do, but right now it's only confirmed for current gen
 
As pat just said there's none yet and I'm expecting to not hear much on that til we actually have those consoles in our hands and that months after those consoles have been put out.

I got to play this a few days ago up in Canada. Got to play around the first hour. It's phenomenal. Great graphics, the story kicks off right away and its very interesting. Loving Sam's new voice, he does sound younger but he has also has more than just an angry voice. The gameplay is so smooth, it rivals Gears of War as best cover system easily. It was only a hour but man it was good. Also that hour there is a lot of cutscenes, so if that's any indication its going to be very story driven
 
One little thing thats such a perfect idea that I forgot to mention is that there's a little green light on his back that turns on when he is in the shadows. It's a great way of fixing the how to tell if you're in the shadows while keeping the screen clean

Oh wow, that sounds awesome. Can't wait.

Did u fool around with the customization options at all? Interested to know what various looks we can equip for Fisher.

I need to get my PS3 fixed so I can play the HD trilogy again before this game drops.

That's not new for the series. That was introduced in Double Agent. Glad they are going back to that though. I despised the white wash they did for Conviction.
