Splinter Cell - Celebrating 20 Years of Stealth Action 

I can't believe nobody mentioned Michael Ironside. He breathed life into Sam Fisher. It was never the same after he left.

The original Splinter Cell was completely ahead of its time

I saw splinter cell and instantly clicked

Man I miss Splinter Cell, Michael Ironsides voice is so iconic

That intro with Amon Tobin's "El Cargo" was iconic. Thank you to the devs and people that made Splinter Cell possible and what it is in our hearts. Bless the remake team and best of luck, we can't wait to play as Sam again.

Chaos Theory. Best gameplay in the series. Best soundtrack in the series. Best graphics in the series. Best multiplayer in the series. Made so many memories and friends on xbox live at the time thanks to this game. Managed to 100% Bank. I am not optimistic about ANY GAME REMAKE nowadays, but I still have little faith. Please don't take away game features. Please don't focus on graphics. Please don't screw this up like other game remakes have.

This actually makes me feel a lot more confident about the remake now. They really went into specific detail about what worked in the past games, the type of personality that Sam has, the fact that the game shouldn't be open world, etc. Sounds like they did their homework and have a lot of passion for the game!

I remember this first Splinter Cell & shooting out a light for the first time. I ran through the house to get my dad & show him. He finally came down to look & when i shot out another light he just looked at me like um okay, lol but i was super stoked. Couldn't wait to get to school to tell everyone else. Can't wait for this series to return.

One of the best game series ever. It's a shame we haven't gotten a new game in such a long time so really, really looking forward to the remake. Thank you Ubisoft!

Can not tell you how much im happy to see this , to see that ubisoft still cares about Splinter Cell.

It's a shame this series has lied dormant for almost 10 years after Blacklist, which was an excellent game IMO. There's nothing quite like Splinter Cell: the dark environments, the music, Sam's banter with Lambert and Grim, etc. Who knows how the remake will turn out after recently losing its director, but I have fond memories of playing through this whole series; Sam Fisher is definitely one of the best gaming protagonists ever.

Best ubisoft franchise please do this series justice. If this is a true return for the series i might become a ubisoft fanboy again xD

I remember playing SC and being in awe of its dynamic lighting for the time. Very memorable.

Splinter Cell was one of my favorite games ever. Still this day I still remember lines,musics and levels. Sam Fisher is a character that will stay with us forever.

Thank you guys for commissioning Amon Tobin for the Chaos Theory soundtrack. Not only is it iconic, but it introduced me to someone who has been my favorite musical artist since 2005.

Nothing like Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, to this very day.

spies vs mercs for pandora tomorrow was the best multi player experience ive ever had. everything about it was perfect. I pray we get multiplayer like that again along with similar ranking systems!!!

Shout-out to Michael Plowman, who composed the most darkest and surreal music score to the original Splinter Cell

Underrated, was honestly one of best games ever. The gameplay and graphics were 10 years ahead its time and the idea worked. I remember the multiplayer being interesting different too

my friend and i spent so many hours on playing the co-op splinter cells and failed so many time! yet its still one of my best memories from all the co-op games i tried. i hope there will be a bright future for the series and doesnt experinces the "modern take of current audience". if you want to do a remake or a continuation of these games you have to understand that the player base and fan's as old as the game by now and they are the one whom you want to target it with!

Secret agent Bob & Steve was an underrated G4 gem. These games were formative for my taste in future games. Splinter cell really is one of the greatest games of all time.

This was a great tribute video to this legendary franchise, I like what I'm hearing from the devs, it's been a long time that I was waiting for a true return to the roots and to the gameplay of the first four games. I have faith in the remake, take your time to polish it and deliver us a unique experience :)

This has made my day. Chaos Theory is the 🐐 Just yesterday after years, I listened to the radio song that plays in Chaos Theory. It was so nostalgic and brought back incredible memories. Ive been hoping they make another legendary Splinter Cell for years so I'm so excited that there's gonna be a full remake of the franchise starting from the original Splinter Cell. Cannot wait!

Breaking into Langley was the highlight of my video gaming career … this game should be a movie.. I’ve played all of them and always compare any game I play to them… every Ubisoft game is stellar.

I remember countless nights, my room as dimly lit as most of the environments absolutely loving every moment playing these games. I am 34 now and i’m excited to relive those nights all over again.

I can’t wait till they start the promotion for the game and the coverage is in full effect and we all got it in our hands on launch day 🙏🏽

After the remake of SC1, i think we need a Splinter Cell with a story with full stealth. A story more about steal informations for stop enemys plans or conspiracy before they know what's happen to they failure. Imagine for example finish the campaign with nobody in the story know that a spy was behind everthing. So the player will feel like a real ghost like a spy should be. And Sam Fisher is very old. So make sense he choose full ghost than close combat enconter to finish the mission. Because of his age he dont have the same agile, speed and strenght that he have in his old past in missions.

So nice of you guys to put Amon Tobins Chaos Theory Soundtrack into the whole video 🥰 I'm very excited for the remake and wish all best for the development 🙏

One of the best - if not the best Ubisoft franchises of all time. The first 3 in my opinion are immaculate in terms of playability and nostalgia factor. I can return to these games 20 years later and enjoy them as much as I did in 2002. Please do a service to fans everywhere and continue this storied franchise with a forward eye but a constant respect for where it started. No microtransactions or open world elements. Please. Intricate and tight level design is what made this franchise great, not graphical flourishes, elaborate cutscenes, or grinding for XP

I love Splinter Cell so much I have played every single part in the Splinter Cell series, from original Splinter Cell from 2002 to Splinter Cell Blacklist from 2013. I loved every single part and will always be in the deepest part of my heart for gaming.

Still play the original trilogy today,and my favourite stealth games to date. Chaos theory is in my top 3 games period. This remake sounds like they have an amazing group of passionate fans,wanting to make the best game they can! Muchly excited!

Spinter Cell is my favourite video game franchise ever and I'm thrilled to see Ubisoft reviving the franchise. Since 2014, I anxiously wait for Ubisoft E3 presentation in hopes of a new game being announced. Still waiting 9 years later. Please don't let the franchise disappear. There is a big audience for story focus single player games still. Not everything needs to be a massive open world service type of thing.

Splinter Cell is one of those franchises i love to revisit. The gameplay, story, characters, environments, etc. were amazing and well done. I can’t wait for the remake.

hearing Chaos Theory is inspiring the level design is such a huge thing. That's great.

The idea that this is a foundation to continue the series is super exciting.

So so excited for this to become a reality. This will always be my favorite type of game.

It's Moss. Get it right or pay the price.

The original Splinter Cell was one of the first games I played on XBox in 2002. Can't wait for the remake. 😁👍

Can't wait to see how this turns out! been waiting for some more splinter cell stuff.

Thank you for all your hard work! This is and always will be my favorite franchise. Unprecedented and completely unique gameplay that feels so real, not like your Spider-Man or superhuman but just a man, on a mission, highly trained, but still moves and thinks and feels like the rest of us.

Nice to see widescreen fix showcased in Splinter Cell 1 footage, I worked on that 👍

4:40 Fisher: "Don't tell me... Three alarms and the mission is over?" Lambert: "Of course not...this is no video game Fisher!" Gotta love all these funny dialogues. I remember having so much fun playing these games and laughing out loud!

One of the things I hope they bring back for new Splinter Cell titles is shadow paths and sneaking. The cover to cover movement from Conviction and Blacklist just didn't really fit with the type of game that Splinter Cell is, where it is based around stealth and is essentially a modern ninja game. It felt like they tried to do a mash up of the action from John Wick and the storyline pacing of 24. The first 3 SC titles forces you to take your time and think your actions through, and punishes you for being brash and impatient. Plus it was fun as hell to be in pitch black and be able to stand a foot in front of somebody's face without them knowing. The cover to cover movement system and detection makes much more sense for levels that take place in broad daylight or fairly well lit areas but not so much in dark places. I think a mesh of both would be nice, but kind of default to the stealth; keep the same idea from Blacklist where you had the campaign missions but make them more stealth oriented, whereas the optional, side, and co-op could have the missions that happen more in daytime or dusk. Another thing would be to have tge weapons loadout not be such an H&K jerkfest. It was disappointing in Blacklist where there were plenty of H&K weaponry but they didn't even have Sam's iconic SC20K or the underbarrel attachments and all the little gadgets to go with. It would be cool if there was a bit more you could customize and use. (It was disappointing that you could use a MAC-11 but not even suppress it even though there are suppressors for the MAC-11, like the SIONICS suppressor. It would have been cool AF to rock it Snake Plissken style) Also, more ComBloc loadouts would be cool. Stuff like the Stechkin, AS Val, vz. 61, or having Bramit suppressors for the AK's. It's a stealth ninja game; having loadouts that would be more readily suppressed would fit much better. Also, this is my thought personally, but it would be cool if the followed other Splinter Cell agents, as it was mentioned in Chaos Theory on the Seoul mission that Sam isn't the only agent; there are other agents deployed by Echelon. Maybe have a game where it follows one of the other agents, or even better, have missions where you play as a VORON agent and see what it would be like from a different perspective.

Splinter Cell (2002) on the Xbox Classic is still as good today as it was back then.

The 'recipe' is simple. Voiced by Michael Ironside, music by Amon Tobin, pure stealth game from the developers and again number one seller.

In honor of its 20th anniversary I will play the original splinter cell as my first splinter cell game for the first time

The original has always been my favorite. Idk, there's just something so tight and perfect about it.

The days of playing countless hours of online play with splinter cell chaos theory was absolutely the best! Can’t wait to see what they bring to the table.

Amon Tobin since the first minute ... ❤️

The “three tube” nightvision is actually plausible. Two nightvision tubes. With one singular built in thermal “ecoti” unit overlaying as an option. In 2002, almost unheard of. Now it’s reality.

Here’s hoping Michael Ironside is cast as Sam Fisher again!

I hope that Michael Ironside comes back

Thank you for this transparency. This is so fun to see and watch. I’m so pumped for this project.

This is the best game series ever made

I really hope Michael Ironside voices Fisher again.

SplinterCell is my favorite of all time franchise. Please don't make it for a "modern audience". Please stay true the core Sam Fisher and the concept of the plot: a tier 1 operator and a small intelligence agency trying to quietly deal with complex geopolitical situations.

Will Amon Tobin be back? His soundtrack is still one of the most iconic in gaming, in my opinion.

Sam before conviction: Witty, joking, funny Sam during convcition: *W H E R E I S M Y D A U G H T E R* *gunshots*

The amount of amazing childhood memories that came flooding back soon as I heard that intro music! I still honestly Chaos theory is one of the best games ever made!

Happy 20th anniversary to Splinter Cell, one of my favorite game series of all time. Such good memories of playing the games when I lived back at home, especially the first game as that was always my favorite. It was also the second game I ever got for the original Xbox. It was nice to see the developers talking and reminiscing about their memories and love of the game and I'm so glad they showed some art concept of the remake. It looks really good and it seems like they are really trying to make it great like the original. Can't wait for a trailer and I'm predicting a late 2024 release.

Ubisoft, we absolutely need the old classic Splinter Cell games on the current systems (PS4/PS5, Switch). Splinter Cell 1, Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory and Double Agent (Version2) would be so great as a collection. This was done with Metal Gear Solid too, so what are you waiting for? These are the Splinter Cell games that fans want. And that would be a good collection to tide you over until the announced Splinter Cell remake finally appears.

Please get Ironside and Amon Tobin back!

If Michael Ironside comes back for the remake! 🔥🔥🔥

This is a ground breaking series!! Seriously..Splinter Cell, Pandora's Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent...nothing comes close!

We need more Splinter Cell in our lives!

Remember all the funny marketing videos for Chaos Theory? Short video clips where game mechanics like pull enemy into the water while swimming etc was shown. I miss them, the game and the series in general immensely. 😊 Looking forward to the remake and what hopefully comes next.

So long as the remake keeps the true darkness and the slower pace it should be great. Blacklist was a good turn back in the right direction but it is too easy to just run through some levels without issue. I always enjoyed how the original trilogy plays like a tense puzzle of pathways.

Came across this video while playing blacklist again... soo happy we're finally close to getting a remake

WE WANT A NEW SPLINTER CELL!

Cautiously optimistic. The first trilogy of games set the bar so high I'm not sure it can be topped. Everything about them (except for some BS moments with guard AI) is basically perfection. The humor/one liners, the music, atmosphere, etc. Even the tie in with Ghost Recon 2's storyline regarding the USS Clarence E Walsh and the Korea Incident was a really good Easter egg that I hope can be expounded on in the future (I have a few ideas)... Bottom line: I am REALLY hoping that this remake does the franchise justice - and hearkens back to an era of simpler times, when games were FUN, innovative, and actually stretched your skills. Oh yeah, and where Microtransactions didn't exist. (P.S. I do really enjoy Blacklist, but in any future installments, please bring back the Scroll Wheel Walk Speed, Sound and Light meters. That is what Splinter Cell is all about - STEALTH.)

Sam Fisher was born on August, 8, 1957. I hope that won’t change.

Missed opportunity not having Michael Ironside in the background of the interview lurking in the shadows...or was he?

Guys i love this game please don't ruin the writing! The story was never meant to be personal, Sam shouldn't have a personal connection to the bad guy. I like the game set in real countries with conflicts that could happen tomorrow. If updating for a modern audience just means changing the Georgian information crisis to something that would fit today that's fine but do not write the characters like blacklist with the goofy humor and awkward pauses. I want this to feel like it could actually happen not an action movie.

Everything about splinter cell was amazing, The story telling, gameplay, dialogues, NPC behaviour, the music(chaos theory did a fantastic job on this) and the plot of the games. I still play the series in my free time, each game was great in it's own way. I really hoped ubisoft would continue the series, there are not much stealth games around with the same vibe, ofcourse Hitman series and some other games are up there, but SC was one of a kind and it was iconic.

I love the Splinter Cell series. 😎😍 I grew up with it. I'm really looking forward to the remake and hope that the old parts will also get a next-gen update. Of course I would also look forward to a completely new part.

Same i first experienced splinter cell series trough magazine demo disc popped it in and was instantly in heaven miss the good old days where u could try game literally before buy

Ghosting through these games was a joyous experience, I can't wait to do it again! Chaos Theory is a masterpiece and I never stopped playing, even SvM was a mainstay until the servers shut down. Good luck!

The most underrated entry to the series is the original Xbox version of Double Agent. The XB360 version is the one people remember because it was also the PC version (that was utterly broken on launch). The Xbox version of DA was on the Chaos Theory engine and retained all the game play elements from both Chaos Theory and DA, including the timed missions where Sam had to sneak away from the terrorist cell and do missions for Third Echelon while not alerting the hostiles. The Xbox version of DA's story line is also more fleshed out than the X360 version that is truncated and missing vital pieces of back story on why Sam takes the mission in the first place upon believing Sarah is dead.

**Sam grabs guard** Guard: Who are you? Sam: The Landlord, rent's overdue.. I miss old Sam.

20 years but the sad thing is that it's been almost 10 years since the last game. Love Splinter Cell I've been playing since day 1 and I can't wait for the remake but I also hope we get a new Splinter Cell.

Ubisoft I am a big fan. A friend of mine had shown me the world of splinter cell back when we were young kids. I wonder if he would have liked my thoughts on what I’ve enjoyed most about the games. -the coop to me was amazing, loved playing it - the sounds of the equipment, the closeness of the sounds. Being 3rd person over the shoulder and the silence to perform better in stealth made the small subtle sounds bring life to the game. The boots squeaking, the zipper sounds, the Kevlar armor and how it interacts. - the freedom of approach in infiltrating a compound as Fisher or coop team would be interesting, prior to infil the player(s) can analyze the schematics and choose specific routes that could be accessed or restricted by having progressed specific equipment or not. R&D could give you options in equipment but you have to decide what is priority first for your tactical approach and this could open routes of approach but restrict others. -Equipment based progression system for the highest possible tactical espionage. (Jammers, grappling hooks, optics, camouflage, beacons, mines, incapacitators, diving gear, vertical wall scaling gear -CQC progression for approaching different scenarios. The ability to disarm 1 enemy from a guarded position, progressing to two then three. -equipment and armory customization for different scenarios, players briefed on a mission can assess if the terrain calls for a snow matching armor set to reduce visibility or to equip cutting edge invisibility cloaking armor with limitations(ghost recons armor only worked when standing still). -traversal in climbing walls through windows, ladders, under tables and interior designs, rooftops structures and compounds, the verticality agility -if a time based or points based competitive coop mode could be added that would bring a more competitive aspect and have for a lot more online heavy gameplay. Coop story and coop competitive modes.

*Finally, we're getting spotlights on Splinter cell* 😍

My favorites series. 20 years...🥺 They seem to have understood what Sam and his world was in the first trilogy. We hope well.

Splinter Cell is just sheer emotion for me

The original Splinter Cell, and Chaos Theory were amazing. I hope this series has a resurgence.

I truly miss the original multiplayer from Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory, it was never the same after those two games in the series. The multiplayer in those two games is the best it has ever been. I love all the Splinter Cell games and the single player campaigns.

This series introduced me to Amon Tobin, and that is not even its single best quality. I played every game in the series, (the handheld versions as well), except for conviction, with all of the Gamecube - GBA link options, because I was always a Nintendo gamer, and I would love for all of them to come to the Switch. I remember so many moments and interactions of the earlier games. And I still listen to the Chaos Theory album of Amon Tobin just as much as any other album of his.

Ubisoft is not to be trusted anymore unlike the past when it used to be one of the greats. ..early concept art look intriguing tho ;-)

I was a bit too young to really appreciate the original when it came out, and never progressed far in it. But Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory and their multiplayer modes over Xbox Live will forever be a highlight in my gaming memories. I remember classic Xbox for me was nothing but those two, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Halo 2. I was quite heart-broken when they took down the original Xbox Live servers, knowing I couldn't play their multiplayer modes anymore. I look forward to playing the remake, and getting to fully experience the game I was too young to appreciate.

No mention of Michael Ironside and instead lots of Sam Fisher talk leads me to believe they're recasting him for the remake and not using the original voice acting. I don't think I can play a remake without Michael as Sam.

Coming from somebody who’s never played the original, I cannot wait to get my hands on the remake

Please return Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Double Agent (OG Xbox ver.) to the Microsoft Store. I'm sure there's probably licensing costs. I'm sure that given how long they've been delisted that you must have a collection in the works. Still, we're going around a year now with no way to play them without a physical used disc when a prominent part of the OG Xbox Classics Backwards Compatibility was the Splinter Cell series! If you can't tell, I'm big mad.

cannot even begin to describe how much I want this. My all time fav game the first splinter captured me hook line and sinker

Original Trilogy + Blacklist were phenomenal. It makes absolutely no sense why we don't get a new splinter cell every few years. Your real fans feel abandoned fyi.

I really hope they keep the movement system from Blacklist. It kept me playing the challenge levels on a constant gameplay loop.

When i say im THIS hardcore into the splintercell series, this is what i mean. 😍

My first ever game was Splinter Cell Blacklist and daam it was fun to play. Then i bought Conviction, got Splinter Cell 1 for free and then bought Chaos Theory which i feel is the most challenging and best game ever made. Blacklist has to be the most SMOOTH game ever made. I waana badly play this game on the PS5 if possible.

Time of the vid alluding to the year in which it'll be released(20:25)?🤔

Imagine Chaos theory with modern graphics and sound design... wah ! * *chef's kiss* *

I hope they use Amon Tobin for the music again
