Splinter Cell’s release date is finally set in stone, so we can all sit back and enjoy the upcoming barrage of videos to remind us that, yes, the game is coming out this year. Ubisoft just released a trailer to give us a quick refresher on what everyone’s favorite grizzled super spy, Sam Fisher, has been doing since Double Agent. Take a look:
Man, all he needs to do is headbutt a fashion designer and he’ll be Keifer Sutherland. All jokes aside, the game does look sharp, but I’ll still worried about the game’s controls, specifically the ability to queue actions and watch them go off. I’m sure that the game will pull it off just fine, but it does make me a bit nervous. I’m going to pick it up regardless, but what about you fellas? Is this one your purchase list, or will you still be playing one of the millions of games that comes out between now and April? Has the news about Assassin’s Creed II’s DRM done anything to dampen your enthusiasm for Ubisoft products?
I am a huge Splinter Cell fan, I’ve played every single one. The story looks great and fresh, and the amazing co op from Chaos Theory is returning. I’m kinda sad there is no Spy vs Merc but I guess that they wanted to focus a bit more on the other two modes. And another one of my favorite series, Ghost Recon, has a beta included in Splinter Cell! Talk about getting your $60 worth.
he didn’t form enough perimeters…
I am excited for this too, and I am also nervous about the whole “setting up targets” thing. I play with a mouse damnit, let me aim for myself.
