I really hope they take the series back to where it belongs, the Chaos Theory era.
Anybody remember those good old days?! [i](Sticky cams, Inverted kneck snaps, Spys vs Mercs, Co-op mode, REAL stealth)[/i]
Remember this?

How about this?

Anybody have their fingers crossed for #6?
I don't mind what type of stealth it will be (CT or Conviction). Chaos Theory was great. Conviction was also a great game. Everyone just likes to join the :bandwagon: I really liked Conviction, it does not deserve the hate it got.
please actually be like Chaos Theory this time
pretty please

Conviction was fun, but it lacked the open-endedness of the previous games.

That's true. It was linear, but you could still take out a room of guys in multiple ways. Some of the later missions had larger areas too.

I'll admit that the idea of conviction was very appealing at first, better guns and faster movement sounded fine to me. But they just went too far and they completely removed almost every single feature I loved about the franchise.
Whistling, tossing dead bodies off a cliff, a knife, they're little things but they make the experience so much more immersive and "real." When I play as Fisher, I want to feel like a human, a trained agent, but a [i]human[/i], who is in mortal danger, doing everything in his power to get through the mission alive. I don't want to feel like a badass. At least that's my opinion.
Conviction is a great game, just not a great Splinter Cell game.
That's my opinion of it.
Please be the similar gameplay as 1,2, or 3!
If not, then at least make it a bit sneakier than Conviction. I liked Conviction, but it allowed you to be too violent even on hardest difficulty.
[B]Edit:[/B]
Yeah as Blackwheel said, some of they things they got rid of in Conviction were sorely missed. Like moving bodies, etc.
What's the point of dropping a guy if his buddies are going to find him in the next patrol pattern?
I've always wanted to see like 4 player splinter cell co-op instead of just the two player thing.
I did like the fast past feeling that Conviction had, but I also like the stealth part of Chaos Theory. It's like if you met someone in Conviction, you had to kill them. You couldn't wait for them to pass or anything.
I also hope Spies vs. Mercs come back.
Calling it now, it's going to suck horribly. Conviction might have been a decent game on its own, but I refuse to call that disgrace a Splinter Cell game.
come on guys, let's be optimistic!
[QUOTE=Jaehead;26437492]come on guys, let's be optimistic![/QUOTE]
Yeah lets get hyped for a game that ends up being a horrible disappointment like the last two Splinter Cells! I'd rather go in with low expectations and be pleasantly surprised.

It lacked everything about the previous games.
Open world hopefully. Would make it kinda like Assassin's Creed though.
A little reminder to all who have forgotten:

All I want in Chaos Theory with new levels. Is that too much to ask Ubisoft?
You don't have to reinvent every franchise.:argh:

Also, in 1-3 (and somewhat in DA) Sam used dark humour to cope with what he was doing, and did his best to remain undetected. Hell in CT and DA you could only get a 100% rating by NOT killing the enemy, in Conviction you're expected to kill EVERYONE.
It's fucking rediculous. Stealth is sneaking by unseen, retrieving the hidden information and getting out without a trace. Conviction is just shooting eveerything that moves and being able to see through the fucking walls.
I don't want another game in a series. I want something new, Ubisoft. Be the bigger company break the mould of cash cows, and don't be afraid to try new things.
Wait, Ubisoft Toronto? This is their first game. Maybe it'll be better than when Montreal can do, it'll definitely be better than Shanghai.

Normally I agree, but Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is like the best stealth game ever and I want more games like it. Splinter Cell 2 doesn't work with newer graphics cards at all and 1 is hard to run, DA is a buggy mess (at least on PC), and Conviction can hardly be called a stealth game. It needs a great sequel at least half as good as Chaos Theory.

I don't know. I agree, I loved CT too, but i'm just tired of the series and sequels in general. Normally I don't mind them because they're usually better than the original.

The last time I've played Conviction, it wasn't challenging at the highest difficulty and it was linear compared to other Splinter Cell games. The game is good, but I personally think it does not deserve the title of "Stealth" and "Splinter Cell".
Conviction was terrible and lacked the polish the other games in the series had as well as removing all of the features that made it good in the first place.

As long as it's like Chaos Theory, I don't care.
Conviction was flawed because you had unlimited ammo in a pistol, which kinda makes everything redundant.
Conviction had one thing that fucked up the entire game:
You couldn't whistle or knock on things. Honestly, that degraded the quality so much.

Honestly whistling was fucking retarded. It made the NPCs look stupid.
Also, who could forget this beautiful cutscene?

Jayde Raymond heading it up? New studio? Splinter Cell is officially FUBAR. I give up... It's not like I could expect anything good after that absolute joke Conviction but, that microscopic hint of hope I managed to retain is all but gone.
