With the demise of Splinter Cell as a stealth series, it's up to Hitman and MGS to keep the genre alive. It's good to see that they're both doing a great job of it.


MGS4 was the biggest disappointment I played this generation.

As for Conviction I loved it. Hitman also was brilliant last time out. 

Really looking forward to the new Splinter Cell.

That is the most absurd opinion ever. MGS 4 more disappointing than conviction, no way. Conviction was the greatest joke of a stealth game, whereas MGS 4 had plenty of stealth elements + story as well which can be a disappointment only if compared to it's predecessors.

Your opinion on stealth. Is different from mine.

In MGS4 Snake is not brought into the modern era. He still moves like he was trained by a couple of chimpanzees except he forgot how to actually move.

Playing MGS4 does not make you feel like a true stealthy killer. It makes you feel like your slow, cumbersome and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn Im found, must restart. 

Cmon, thats not Bourne stealth thats Grandads stealth.

Fisher is believeable that he would kill you from the shadows, snake is believeable he'd die running away. 

Sorry, MGS4 played so horrible.

That is ridiculous criticism. He is old in the game, the fact that they managed to make it that realistic is impressive.

And stealth is never like it is in conviction, just play actual stealth games like Chaos Theory like kantor mentioned; conviction is on a different level of disappointment.

That's interesting, I feel exactly the opposite.

I loved MGS4, though the stealth did get a little bit simplistic towards the end with the whole "you're invisible!" thing whenever you lie on the ground. But I thought Conviction was a complete betrayal of the series, and Chaos Theory was one of my favourite games of all time. I even enjoyed Double Agent, which most people seem to dislike intensely, because it was still the same style of game, at least.

Blood Money was absolutely fantastic, even though it wasn't terribly deep, so I have very high hopes for Absolution.


Dishonored, Deus Ex and Batman partially where extraordinary Stealth games I think the genre will allways be alive.

 

@Hitman I really have a good feeling about this one. I still don´t which platform to choose PC or PS3. Altough I have heard the controls on the PC are terrible.

I forgot where I read this, but I read somewhere that IO took a lot of notes from Rocksteady in terms of creating an immersive atmosphere. Looking at Hitman videos lately, I think they're doing a good job.

lol I guess it was too be expected considering they haven't made a good game since 2006 and have been getting worse each time.

I hope they can fix the framerate issues with the patch. Not sure if they can fix the mission structure. I am sure it would be decent game to play. Even more so for me as it seems easier and streamlined compared to more trial and error of the old. 

Jay don't lose hope yet :)
