@ Slimebeast I'm not arguing that SC Convictions (in its current form, before anything gets revealed at E3) won't be fun. As much as I hated AC, many people loved it. I'm just saying that I felt that it's unfair for Ubisoft to abandon the veryfans that built up the name and franchise of Splinter Cell, so they can use that very same and powerful brand to push for more profits. If you want to play Social Stealth, or a TPS you have so many options and so many dedicated franchises and brands for that. But not only have they completely fucked up a franchise, which was built on S/L stealth, but we have nothing left (I never played Thief, and haven't heard anything about Thief 3). As for action, the beauty of CT was that you COULD go and shoot everyone. Granted, you can strafe, nor stand in place and shoot. But you could still, as long as you use stealth and suprise to your advantage, go out and bash a door (knocking out the guy in front of it), and immedietly shoot your shotgun attachment, and proceed to spray everyone with you SMG/Assault Rifle. |
I completely agree with you. I wouldn't want to hijack a franchise like that, just because it happens to suit my tastes. As you say, there's plenty of other games to satisfy those needs, while SC is in a very specific niche.
Of course Ubisoft should keep SC 'true'.
