It's this kind of freedom, coupled with the fact that the game looks absolutely gorgeous, that's caused actual ripples of excitement whenever Splinter Cell has appeared in public. We build the world, we simulate some rules that are simple and easy to understand, we give you some tools, and then you do whatever you want to reach your objective." To Kill With Intrigue Or avoid them.Īs Gregoire Gobbi, producer on Splinter Cell, explains: We've designed the game so that in 90 per cent of cases you can choose exactly how to handle things. Maximising your options -maximising the number of different, cool ways you can eliminate your foes. And this is what Ubi Soft's imminent stealth-action blockbuster Splinter Cell is all about. It's not about just overcoming your opponent it's about doing it silently, undetected, unseen. chop, snap, gurgle, miaow, another victim falls prey to your special brand of silent death. The moment when all your training comes to bear, when you spring into action and. Thus is the power of invisibility.Īnd eventually, of course, the moment strikes. Intense, the fear of discovery overwhelming the sense of mastery felt as an enemy wanders past you, completely oblivious to your presence: impossibly satisfying. Even if he does have a small wiener.Īnd yet, strangely enough, pretending to do next to nothing is some of the best fun you've ever had in front of a computer screen. I mean Sam, has a few cool tricks up his sleeve too.
It has all those shadowy bits and gadgety things, and Mandrake. Still, we have to admit the game does look pretty goddamn amazing. "Move over Robert from Accounts, here comes Sam Fisher to redefine stealth spread-sheeting." Sounds like someone you might buy insurance from. They seemed to be listening, but there must have been copyright complications or something, because they didn't follow through. Call him 'Girth Johnson' and his heroine Niagra Honeywell' just don't give him some pussy name like Samuel, or Dave. We told them: if you want cool and manly, call him 'Mandrake McFreeze’, or 'Colossal Balzac'.
It practically screams: "I’ve got a huge todger and there's nothing you can do about it." macho (not in a Village People way, mind). To be honest though, what the hell sort of name is Sam Fisher? We told Ubi Soft: it's all very well having the best looking stealth game ever with your fancy Unreal engine and your real-time lighting and shadows, but if you want to beat Solid Snake, you’re going to need a hero that sounds just as cool, just as.
This means you have less than two months to wait before stealth action gets a new name with the arrival of hero Sam Fisher.
Splinter Cell May be the best looking and most anticipated game this side of Doom III, but an even more impressive fact is that it's actually running on schedule.
