How come you guys forgot to mention the friendly rivalry of the games? Snake actually mentioned Sam in MGS3 and in Ghost Recon Wildlands, there's a scene where Sam finds out that Snake had "retired" and was visibly disturbed by the fact he's all that's left of the stealth OGs
Conviction was pretty much his ending. Blacklist should’ve been about new operatives as it’s getting a little goofy now that sam would be way too old to keep going. Giving him nanomachines in siege now is just hella stupid
same splinter cell, hitman and assassins creed got me into stealth games but i honestly feel that if they do bring him back they would add there NFT's then kill the franchise i dont think they can make another splinter cell game better then the old/original ones that we grew to love and appreciate
Playing Metal Gear is what got me into stealth games, but I always liked Splinter Cell too. I thought they did cool things with the tech in SC. There aren't any stealth games that stand out these days. 😐
@@Shocknfunk even in general the movement is conviction and blacklist was waaaay too fast and goofy. SC is supposed to be a realistic stealth game with slower movement, shadows, patience, and planning, not the damn predator climbing, sliding, and crouch running right next to enemies without being heard. Also they need to bring back the smarter AI blacklist was a joke compared to the first 4 games.
@@Kris.G Version 1 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 was developed by a B team and suffered from framerate issues, mediocre level design, and only had a handful of proper missions. Version 2 felt more Splinter Cell, but you can tell that most of the money went towards the Next Gen versions whereas the PS2/Xbox versions were left with table scraps. They're both passable titles, especially in the context of Conviction and the overall state of modern stealth games, but bear in mind that the Double Agent games were what came right after Chaos Theory, Metal Gear Solid 3, and Hitman: Blood Money, so if you picked it up back in 2006, it was easy to be disappointed when you got a game that was just okay when its predecessors and rivals were all timeless masterpieces.
Blacklist is an amazing Splinter Cell game. And Ironside couldn't voice Sam Fisher because of serious health issues. I wish Blacklist had more recognition, you have the option to stealth the entire game. I should know, I have done it at least 5 times already without ever being detected.
Don't forget the great spies vs mercs mode in blacklist and the great coop missions. It had everything that made Chaos theory so great. It may have been simplified here and there but it also added so much stuff at the same time and played so much better.
Yeah I don't get that either, Blacklist is just as good as Chaos Theory if you play it Ghost style, and SvM Classic is one of the best multiplayer modes I've ever played. It's like people automatically play it in a more action-based way, not because they have to, but because the game gives them that option, and then complain about it and act like it's not a real stealth game
Blacklist is literally Chaos Theory and Conviction hybrid. You can finish it in both styles. The series didnt fall like this video claims and SC1 is being remade
You can't necessarily stealth the entire game (ex. train section, end of private estate, etc.) but I definitely agree, and it's one of my favorite games. I personally prefer it over chaos theory as well, because I'm not the biggest fan of trying to avoid all enemies.
@@Sam_Pillay you can, there is indicators for every mission, even the boss fight and the plane mission can be stealth (even though it has much more action-packed cutscenes and vibe) and the end of private estate can be different depending on your playthrough, you can escort Nouri without them detecting you at all
Blacklist was my favorite. I’m convinced that had Michael Ironside voiced Sam Fisher in Blacklist, it would’ve been regarded as the franchise’s crowning jewel by many more people.
I love how this video talks more about Metal Gear than it does Splinter Cell. Also, Splinter Cell owes more to Thief and Tenchu than it does Metal Gear. He also glosses over the astounding success of the newer Hitman games, framing the whole thing as if there were no real successes in stealth. It feels like a very narrow-minded, surface-level analysis of the situation.
Splinter Cell wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for Metal Gear Solid, actually. The whole reason why Ubisoft created the game was because they saw the trailer for MGS1 and were so blown away that they started working on their own take on stealth-action.
I’m pretty sure Sam Fisher was not added to siege the same year Metal Gear Solid V came out. And he was definitely not a year 1 op. That part of the video didn’t make sense. Overall though, good video!! Glad to see you back!
Yeah looks more like they read he was in Siege and saw Siege came out in 2015 and just assumed which was dumb. He was only added years later and he was nothing like his character in Splinter Cell. Which is ironic since there is a character in the game who DOES play like Splinter Cell who was in the game years before him
Ironsides voice is iconic, the fall of this franchise was when we lost him. I’m actually surprised the games were never re-released on Ps4 like the the Sam Fisher collection. Assassins Creed games got all that, now I’m hoping for a full remaster of the original Splinter Cell trilogy.
There was an HD collection of the original trilogy on PS3, but it was unbelievably buggy. I got the platinum trophies on all three games but the first and second ones would be prone to corrupting your save data. A lot. Keep multiple saves, kids.
2002. Wow so it was over 20 years ago when I walked into my local EB Games to purchase this gem. Also, I remember purchasing Pandora Tomorrow for PC just to realize my gaming PC wasn't strong enough to play it so I traded it in at EB Games and got an xbox copy instead. Yes kids, EB Games let you trade in PC games at one time lol.
I really don't understand the pandering to Metal Gear Solid. It's a great series, great story, fun gameplay, but as far as the stealth genre, it is not the deepest stealth game like a lot of fanboys like to claim. I suppose it's the nostalgia people think of since it was the first popular 3D stealth game. 0:33 Popularized? Agreed. Perfected? LOL I guess Looking Glass studios managed to take inspiration from Metal Gear Solid and make the most advanced stealth game(Still to date unfortunately) 2 months after MGS. There are a few other things I don't believe are accurate, but the MGS pandering gets me every time. Some people claim the wildest things when influenced by nostalgia.
Yeah, this video come across as very reddit, and ill-informed. MGS is a great series, but it doesn't have the best stealth gameplay in the genre. Most MGS fans haven't played many stealth games. Even the best playing MGS game is a joke compared to the best playing Thief, Splinter Cell, Hitman, and maybe Tenchu game.
Lol, you are fanboying for Splinter cell, and believe me, I am a diehard splinter cell fan for 20 years now. But MGS V was absolutely PEAK stealth game and open world with multiple ways to end missions, too bad it wasn't finished. But to say MGS isn't stealth is just wrong.
Yeah Metal Gear is more of a cinematic action game than a stealth game. The stealth is mediocre, it relies a lot on the radar which is basically a cheat. And when you have your main protagonist flipping around launching rocket launchers to robots with 30 minutes of pretentious dialogue cannot take it seriously.
Conviction was definitely my favorite in the series. I get why people would be put off with the direction, but the co-op was as good as Las Vegas 2's. me and my buddy still go back to play it.
I played Conviction when I was a kid and I loved it. I understand why people didn’t like it as much as Chaos Theory for missing the “stealth” part but it was a more action packed game and it was good. Never tried Blacklist because who the hell would listen to Fisher without Ironsides voice? Hell nah
Conviction holds a very special place in my heart because it featured a take on Sam’s skill set I always wanted to explore, that of a highly trained agent who knows how to kill in extremely fast and efficient ways. We always see hero’s like Jason Bourne or Jack Bauer and Conviction really presented that style of Sam Fisher and I loved it. Tbh Conviction felt like a day in the life of Jack Bauer and if you’ve ever watched 24 you’ll know what I mean
Conviction was a great game, remember he thought his daughter was dead and he was no longer with third echolon so he didn't have to be stealthy he just wanted revenge, and blacklist was great as well the best controls and combat in the series...
such a fire 🔥 franchise, great upload! def deserves a next gen update I’m one of the few that loved double agent it flipped the whole narrative of being a “good” agent much like metal gear snakes iconic “i’m no hero” line comes to mind 🔥🔥
I wish we'd at least get remasters. I've never fully played them but briefly played Blacklist and Double Agent on Xbox 360 years ago and originally played Chaos Theory on GameCube as a teenager. I still love it. It's awesome. An amazing concept.
honestly, conviction and blacklist revolutionized stealth action. they make sense within their own Canon that Sam grows more adept and introduces a new brand of stealth. where now you can rapidly clear a room and if you make a little noise, that's OK. who are you alerting? they're all dead. you can track people who you have seen. it's an assassins creed like element. you have scouted many guard patrols. your senses are sharp. you know what's going on. I loved that it seems like his capabilities grew over time. felt like good storytelling to me
You've not mentioned the amazing Nokia phone versions of Splinter Cell! I couldn't ever get into the console games, but I spent many a frustrating moment on the bus (as the city was a no car zone and I had to leave mine at home) playing through it ( and the sequel)!

And finally the music..oh man the music was amazing. A total vibe. I still dont get why they thought conviction was a good idea
Small disagreement: Blacklist definitely felt like a Splinter Cell - or at the very least, it trying to get back some of its lost identity. It is also really freaking good. Edit: About the money grab part... they have been restrained (by Ubi standards) but they've teased players with Sam Fisher stuff for a while now.

If they really go hardcore with a new splinter cell game then it can work. But I think sam fisher's story is over, it is either they do a prequel or they focus on a different protagonist.
Great summary of the game series. Chaos Theory was definitely the favorite, and I though Conviction was a really run concept, albeit not on par with the genre. Sam Fisher will return!
I've never been a fan of the idea that Metal Gear is this monolithic ideal that all stealth games should strive for. I just wanted a good analysis, but literally the second the video starts, you're already comparing the two series despite how radically different they are.
For Splinter Cell lovers - it there a game that you'd reccomend that gives that Splinter Cell or Metal Gear vibe that may quench a thirst while waiting for the remakes?
Double Agent is where the Splinter Cell series…splintered. Two different versions of the game and the “old gen” version was the best in the series even though the “next gen” was the cannon storyline, yet the latter severely lacked in the gameplay aspect. Conviction was an utter disaster all-around and it felt more like an Assassin’s Creed DLC than a Splinter (Cell game, gameplay-wise. Blacklist was a (tiny) step in the right direction but without Michael Ironsides it left a lot to be desired. Double Agent should have been the finale for Sam Fisher as the top Splinter Cell and Conviction should have been DLC…with Blacklist having Sam as the handler for the new operative. Ubisoft really dropped the ball
Once you mentioned primed to rise again, couldn’t really bother with the rest. The only way you get a shot for splinter cell to be good again involves Ubisoft losing Tom Clancy to someone else
Blacklist is very underrated.want a challenge?complete the game without killing or knocking anyone out unless its mandatory.i think conviction killed splintercell
Dude, Chaos Theory is the easiest of the bunch. Don't get me wrong, its my favorite in the series. But even Conviction on normal difficulty, was more challenging than Chaos Theory on the hardest difficulty level.
@@NihilisticIdealist chaos theory was when it started getting wack when they added the knife and the fact you don’t get in trouble if you kill or trigger alarms. The 1st one and pandora hands down the best
Splinter Cell rocks because of it's realism. Metal Gear sucks because it's unrealistic, in many ways. People should stop comparing these 2 series in stealth terms. As for Hitman, he doesn't hide in the shadows, like Splinter Cell or Thief do. Instead he relies on disguises, which not always work, if he gets too close to enemies they can sniff him out, so much for stealth.
It didn't fall, actually there are franchises that put games almost every year and are falling, Splinter Cell will come back, it's just a matter of time.
Yeah I really don't think that Ubisoft in it's current state can make a good splinter cell game. Probably have to level up to use weapons or some type of nonsense
Is the original guy even on this channel anymore? I just looked at the 8 most recent vids and it's always his guy who sounds like he's reading off a script with 0 passion. I see it's owned by Ranker now too, so the channel literally sold out.
Yeah it was stupid. No it isn't. Just what for stupid skins and live service crap. And online only game. But I might be rowing. And I can show you a pig flying.
How come you guys forgot to mention the friendly rivalry of the games? Snake actually mentioned Sam in MGS3 and in Ghost Recon Wildlands, there's a scene where Sam finds out that Snake had "retired" and was visibly disturbed by the fact he's all that's left of the stealth OGs
I was literally playing Wildlands today and finished that mission.
Splinter Cell is what got me into stealth games. It’s too bad Ubisoft didn’t strike while the iron was hot to give Sam Fisher’s story proper closure.

It did fall a bit. Double Agent and Conviction were huge let downs, and blacklist, while on the right track, doesn't reach the heights of chaos theory

Conviction was an utter disaster all-around and it felt more like an Assassin’s Creed DLC than a Splinter (Cell game, gameplay-wise. Blacklist was a (tiny) step in the right direction but without Michael Ironsides it left a lot to be desired.
Double Agent should have been the finale for Sam Fisher as the top Splinter Cell and Conviction should have been DLC…with Blacklist having Sam as the handler for the new operative. Ubisoft really dropped the ball
I thought Blacklist was fantastic. The only fall was when Ubisoft stopped making these kinds of games.
I like the last entry to Splinter Cell.
Blacklist had a great spies vs mercs but unfortunately the community fell off quick after release.
Once you mentioned primed to rise again, couldn’t really bother with the rest. The only way you get a shot for splinter cell to be good again involves Ubisoft losing Tom Clancy to someone else
Blacklist is very underrated.want a challenge?complete the game without killing or knocking anyone out unless its mandatory.i think conviction killed splintercell
are they making a splinter cell remake ?
Black list was cool but nothing beats the OG titles after that it became wayyyy to easy
Dude, Chaos Theory is the easiest of the bunch. Don't get me wrong, its my favorite in the series. But even Conviction on normal difficulty, was more challenging than Chaos Theory on the hardest difficulty level.
@@NihilisticIdealist chaos theory was when it started getting wack when they added the knife and the fact you don’t get in trouble if you kill or trigger alarms. The 1st one and pandora hands down the best
Still missing too tall desk
Splinter Cell rocks because of it's realism. Metal Gear sucks because it's unrealistic, in many ways. People should stop comparing these 2 series in stealth terms. As for Hitman, he doesn't hide in the shadows, like Splinter Cell or Thief do. Instead he relies on disguises, which not always work, if he gets too close to enemies they can sniff him out, so much for stealth.
styx is still best stealth game
If yall bring it back make it chaos theory, not that black list bs
I`m from the future, Splinter Cell is still dead =(
I have UBISOFT PTSD
unfortunately, the design philosophy of ubisoft's last several games does not stoke confidence in a successful new splinter-cell game.
😢 Syphon Filter
I would say hitman does a good job of being a stealth ish game
It didn't fall, actually there are franchises that put games almost every year and are falling, Splinter Cell will come back, it's just a matter of time.
splinter cell went to shit when they introduced NPC's to online play.
Yeah
I really don't think that Ubisoft in it's current state can make a good splinter cell game.
Probably have to level up to use weapons or some type of nonsense
You pronounce Ubisoft wrong. Please fix.
No.
Is the original guy even on this channel anymore? I just looked at the 8 most recent vids and it's always his guy who sounds like he's reading off a script with 0 passion. I see it's owned by Ranker now too, so the channel literally sold out.
Conviction was the best 😍
Splinter cell > Metal Gear
Splinter Cell is on another level to Metal Gear. Metal Gear has some of the stupidest game's ever made. MGS V was no different.
Lol there was NEVER any competition mgs was Miles superior to splinter cell from the start
Conviction is just the best one
And the live service crap. And online stuff and stupid skin. And that one to with pay Walls. Sow again good luck with that.
Good luck. The way the digital game casino company's are now 🤣😭🤑😜😂😈. Good luck. But hey the devil's we no sadly. I always say.
Yeah it was stupid. No it isn't. Just what for stupid skins and live service crap. And online only game. But I might be rowing. And I can show you a pig flying.
Second
You are better then this, copying name of series from another RUclips channel
