If you had to see just how much Sam Fisher has changed - and whether it's agreeable or not - IGN finally put up this gameplay work-in-progress video from
Ubisoft of
Splinter Cell: Conviction.
And as it is an indicator, yes,
Sam has changed. Since when did he beat the crap out of five-odd cops like Jack Bauer after a coffee break? There's a rather layered combat system implemented here, it seems, apart from the ever-handy "throw a chair at the guy" attack that the new environment dynamic emphasizes.
The question is, is it still
Splinter Cell? The only certain answer is that
the debates do not end here; that only the game in our hands and the tabulated outcry of
Splinter Cell fans the world over will deliver the verdict. One video and these screenshots are not enough.
