Splinter Cell: Conviction
(Sorry, don't know how to post videos.)

That is the complete opposite of what the Splinter Cell series is about... Or so it looks... Can't wait to see how they pull that off.

Well, everything in the Splinter Cell universe has been turned on it's head, so it was expected.

I expected it to have at least some stealth in it... because, y'know, that's what the Splinter Cell series is supposed to be about...

That video made me want to say: Take that wiener stand!

Honestly, what is that game about? Splinter Cell: Causing havoc in the park.
Those were my two cents.

It seems to have SOME stealth elements(sneaking up on the enemies?) I don't know, isn't a sneaking game supposed to have, I don't know, more sneaking?! I thought the old formula worked, why not just use that with added twists? Why did they have to ruin this?

That's my entire point :P

Doesn't look like there's going to be an elite mode >_>

You probably won't see this until April 09, or even 2010. Michael Ironside has also been 'let go' according to Ubisoft, so Sam will have a new voice.

I think this game emphasizes more of the 'hiding in plain sight' sort of philosophy. Plus, according to the story, he's on the run, and when you're on the run, you don't creep around shadows in a special suit, you run through a crowd in regular clothes and hope no local law enforcement is around.

I've heard of major plot twists, but turning the whole Splinter Cell story around, pushing it 2 years forward and turning Sam Fisher from a Third Echelon agent to a (according to a promotional poster) fugitive taking the matter into his own hands seems a bit like.. a rather big twist.

I've seen the teaser videos that are out so far, and it does look a bit like Sam Fisher has been replaced with Jason Bourne. So far it doesn't look much like the older games, at all. But on the other hand, it might be a game to look forward to.
