It's the EVIL bad guys who are being controlled by a mysterious EVIL group but it takes the premise Sam Fisher's ruthless "ends justify the means" organization can and does do some horrible stuff both to other people as well as Sam himself. So with that lengthy intro, I have to say something which will invalidate almost everything I've just said: Conviction is really-really good both in plot as well as examining the setting's implications. God rest your soul, you techno-thriller crazy man. Which is appropriate since the concept for Sam Fisher and his organization came from Clancy originally. It's the same issue I have with a lot of Tom Clancy's work as it's entertaining as hell but you have to well and truly shut your brain off about the story being anything other than good-guys doing what it takes to take down the EVIL bad guys. It's part of the reason why I could never get into 24 as the show's lack of self-awareness until later seasons was always a sticking point with me. I also love spy fiction both in terms of reading as well as gameplay. Splinter Cell is about halfway between Hitman and Deus Ex, which makes it a pretty awesome place to be. You're always going to find me enthusiastic about stealth action adventure stories. On one hand, I really like the series in terms of gameplay as well as the premise. Despite this enthusiasm, I've got to say I've always had a love-hate relationship with the Splinter Cell series. One of the series which I hope not only makes the jump to the next generation consoles but also will, hopefully, receive a sequel made with present-day levels of technology. In meantime, this list has been updated with some of Sam Fisher's most recent adventures to see how they stack up to the rest of the series.With the advent of backwards compatibility for the Xbox One, a lot of old games are about to become new again. However, if the recent success of Hitman 3 is anything to go by it shows fans are once again willing to dive into hardcore stealth games. It's likely a way for Ubisoft to test the waters to see if there's a renewed interest in the series. However, in more interesting news, the Splinter Cell series seems set to make a return on VR systems and there's an animated Netflix series on its way. Updated January 28th, 2021 by Michael Llewellyn:Even though it's not the news that longtime fans have been waiting for, Sam Fisher and the Splinter Cell the series is set to return on mobile devices sometime in the future.

It is possible that Ubisoft is waiting to tie-in a new entry with the planned movie adaption but there has been no confirmation from the studio. Unfortunately, the last entry Splinter Cell: Blacklist underperformed in terms of sales on the Xbox 360, and the series was shelved without any sign of a new entry since 2013. The series was a huge success with six mainline titles and a PSP spin-off. This changed, however, with Ubisoft’s acquisition of the Tom Clancy name and what was originally a sci-fi stealth game called Drift became Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell - a more grounded stealth game set in the real world. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell was first pitched as a science fiction James Bond-style spy game with inspiration taken from the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
