Ten whole minutes of Splinter Cell: Blacklist gameplay

[Soldier 95B]

Allow Splinter Cell: Blacklist creative director Maxime Beland (and his soothing accent) to walk you through 10 full minutes of Blacklist gameplay, as Sam Fisher infiltrates a terrorist cell on the Iraq/Iran border.

Video at link.

No doubt this will be the best Splinter Cell yet.

Dang.. can't freakin' wait for this one too!!

Wow, a damn UAV. It's getting way too action-oriented and they've lost Michael Ironside. I can't say that i'm getting excited.

Yeah, it's looking awesome. Some of the best graphics and animations I have seen on console to date too. I love that it continues from Conviction. The return of Mark and Execute is sweet. I am glad they confirmed that you can choose to go through the game using stealth or action. I will do the game both ways, as it will be like having two games in one

How does the 'killing in motion' work? Does the player just select which enemies they want to kill and it deos it automatically? Because that doesn't sound very fun (or challening).

Shouldn't Sam Fisher be in his mid 50's by now? He came out of retirement in the first Splinter Cell, and that was 10 years ago! And yeah, I miss Michael Ironside's voice

Looks amazing. Love the brutal action going on.

You tag the enemies you want to kill, but if you dont have the tag thing "acitve" you will have to take someone out manually first.
Generally a manual take down allows you to tag.

So you'd tag tag playes you want to kill, run forward do you manual stealth kill then can activate your tag kills. Same as last time.

I think the "in motion" thing simply comes from the fact that you can now continue to move whilst doing it.
Prior you stood till to take the tag shots, now it looks like you can still run forward etc while he takes the shots.

Meaning Sam probaly automatically enters a kill move as they come into range. Previously if they wernt in range when you selected the auto kill option, you were stuffed. They simply missed out.
You spent a lot of time waiting for all 3 targets to be in range all at once in Conviciton.

That was one of the fun parts of Conviction though.

It looked like Sam got mark and execute just by blowing up a door or he might've saved that earlier.

so this is a more action oriented conviction style of play? man hardcore gaming is going down the drain this generation. even the hardest difficulty in conviction was way too easy because of how simplified the game mechanics were. anyways ill be getting this for the xbox (conviction got me to get an elite....then the slim for gears 3)

[Soldier 95B]

As mentioned in the video, you can go action oriented or go all stealth (like in Conviction).

[Naxi]

Conviction only had action stealth though.

[Soldier 95B]

Conviction had regular stealth as well as action stealth.

[Fenix]

Sucks ironside is apparently assisting, ill miss his voice lol

[YoungMullah88]

conviction I think will be better because stealth was encourage this one gives you the option which to me will simplify things and make the game easier to go guns ablaze on the lower difficulties

It will probably be easier to go guns ablaze on lower difficulties. Which is why I like choice. I can go stealth, on higher difficulties.

[podsaurus]

I don't like the new tone and gameplay they seem to be going for. Not a buy for me.

[keefy]

Looks good. Added more elements of stealth which is always nice It hought it looked a bit like metal gear 4 for a few moments.

1 thing I hate bout Ubi games is their stupid DRM, afte rI bought Conviction via steam in the sale I still had to install special Uplay carp on my computer.
I had to create a special account just to play the game which I didn't want to do so opened firefox to search steam forums to find out if there was a way around it and up popped up a message saying that Uplay is known to have security issues so we disabled it.

I thought it looked nice. Some sam fisher badassery.

Here is a recent video (a few days old) that shows off the stealth elements, it's pretty good. Between it and the one the original poster here shows us I think it highlights a good range of play style possibilities.

Awesome, thanks! I didn't know how to make it viewable right in the thread like you did. I appreciate it!

It's nice that they've focused on stealth a bit as well, but it looks barebones compared to the previous. The new fluidity of the gameplay doesn't look that fun in stealth.
