Chaos Theory is still the best Stealth Action game hands down

Damn straight it is. As far as actual STEALTH goes in games, Splinter Cell is king without competition. The only besmirchment on the record is DA which wasn't made by the same company as 1, 2, 3, and 5.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Errr, Pandora Tomorrow was made by Shanghai... and I'm not sure who made the multiplayer, but it's probably Shanghai, as it was featured in Pandora. Montreal made the last gen DA.

 

I played the PS2 DA, and I actually liked it a lot, although not as much as CT because of the lack of multiple branches (at least there were minor brances).

 

I absolutely hated the PS3 DA. They removed the fucking sound bar, and the weird light meter with the face wasn't a welcome change for me. In a stealth game, precission is EVERYTHING, and I don't want to be doing guessing games with simple actions, instead of broader strategy. The story was shitty too, and I hated Enrica, she was so fucking random in the PS3/360 DA. At least with the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube version she was more like a daughter than a lover (which makes a lot more sense as Sarah's death was close in time).

Until they redeem themselves for DA (especially the bad porting for PS3), and for the horrible, horrible gameplay footage of Convictions a few years back, and return Sam Fisher where he really belongs (back in the shadows), then I won't be jealous about this game being exclusive.

Please, give us old Clancy-esque technothriller stories, with shadow/light+sound mechanics, instead of a Bourne-esque thriller, with social stealth+hand to hand combat.


Why was it horrible? Only in light of SC being a stealth game I hope.

And what was the footage, and was there any footage even? I forgot.

I member something about a guy walking on the streets on a windy day, but I dont member if that was a screenshot or video.

Please don't tell me that you're equating Light and Shadow stealth with Social stealth?

Will you even equate MGS with SC? They're both stealth, but they're completely different. I've heard the most ridiculous arguments such as "the crowd is now the new shadow". Shadow and light stealth is about hiding by staying out of sight. Social is about hiding by staying plain sight.

I'm sorry to be accustaory, but have you even played Splinter Cell 1-3? How can you possibly imagine that social stealth and light and shadow stealth are remotely the same? It's like saying Portal or Mirror's Edge are the same as Call of Duty because they share the FPS frame. But the inner contents are completely different.

Montreal made the good games (1 and 3, and last gen DA. Pandora was decent though, and really was great for its multiplayer, despite me sucking at it). I don't like their job with AC, and I'm not excited about social stealth. It's a sub genre of its own, and the last game footage had NOTHING in common with any of the SC's. There's a difference between change, and a complete overhall (sp?).

lol, no I haven't. Not for real, Ive only tried them for a couple of minutes or maybe an hour or so.

I don't really like stealth games (xcept for fake-stealth games like Assassin's Creed).

I wasn't taking any stance by my comment lol. I just wondered if it was in light of the "true" vs "non-true" Splinter Cell point of view, or if the trailer hinted anything about bad game making qualities in general for the next iteration of SC, but from ur reply I understand it's the former.

Now I'm gonna watch all those trailers u posted.

I really depends on how far they take it... and if they keeps some of the elements in... one of the reasons they droped the game and restarted was because of the bad preview from fans and the excuse that AC's crowd system was farther ahead.  I just hope that they balance the gameplay... maybe an open world setting... you have to make your way to your destination and that is social stealth, but once there it takes a more traditional stealth.
