It's a very good modern stealth/action/espionage game. Definitely not a Hitman game. My gripe is despite the simplifications, they still try to use this weird sim-light aiming and ballistics system and it's not good. Here's the thing Momma Russa: if you go back and boot Absolution and just play one map, you'll agree that even in its highly reduced and streamlined state; it smokes damn near anything that came out this year in terms of quality and scope of content. Another sleeper, that's even better than Absolution: Splinter Cell Conviction. There's your Jason Bourne game.It was so good they had to redesign it as 47 only killed his targets in the cutscenes
Its a horrible Hitman game, and a passable Bourne game.
I hope so but I really have very little faith in current Ubisoft..
Oh, I've already accepted that Ironside is too old now to play Sam Fisher (literally given his voice and all that now) if thinking long-term but would love to see him play the role of Lambert or others in that sense. Liev Schreiber playing as the new Sam, given the coming Netflix stuff, seems like a good fit and worth trying. Modern Ubisoft is definitely a joke as well and not too fond of their ways, but when they are in this kind of dire situation and still have some people who care within, there is a huge Possibility they will deliver a true-to-good Splinter Cell that both fits the old core mechanics while feeling fluid and responsive in today's age.
Not worth it
Apparenty he does have a scar in the books.
Hardly, but he can probably be scolded for mansplaining.
In the books James Bond has a scar on his cheek which never happened in the movies, so in a sense the game is also portraying the character more faithfully in certain aspects.I was going to say that Sean Connery was only 32 when he first played Bond in Dr No, but then remembered people looked older back then. Connery may have been 32, but he could have easily passed for man in his mid 40s.
Here's one of the bullet points from the game's page on Steam, it does look like IOI will try to implement some replayability into the game. But I'd be very surprised if it reaches anywhere near the levels of the Hitman games. It's just not the same type of game and it shouldn't be.Not sold on the looks of (young) Bond, even though he's still white.
So is the game supposed to be like Uncharted? 8-10 hours of cinematic experience? Not saying it's a terrible idea, but what I loved about recent Hitman games was how much replayability was there. It wouldn't be the same if you got through each map only once or twice and finished the story in a manner of hours.
in certain aspectsIt's portraying Bond more faithfully because of a scar?
That's it?!
LMAO
Everyone does know that if this game flops, then that will have an impact on how soon we get another Bond game, could be another 8-10 years....a lot of franchises out there can tell you that (ie Alone in the Dark, Dead Space, Guardians of the Galaxy, Mass Effect, Deus Ex)
You mean Far Cry 3, Dishonored, The Walking Dead, Max Payne 3, Mass Effect 3 or XCOM reboot? Yeah, sure.
Yeah, looks junky.
