Splinter Cell: Blacklist video reassures fans that Sam still has night vision goggles

I’m looking forward to Splinter Cell: Blacklist quite a bit, in fact, and so to see that Sam’s fairly iconic night vision goggles will make a traditional return is of course welcome. I’m not sure I needed an entire minute-long video to point it out, but at least it’s a chance to see more of the game in action, which is always nice.

Blacklist is currently slated for August, and Ubisoft have recently announced a variety of editions, including the Upper Echelon Edition and the Fifth Freedom Edition. A uPlay-exclusive edition will also be available but doesn’t appear to have made its way to the site yet.

Was very much looking forward to this as well but I will be sailing again by August and won’t be able to be online reliably so DRM will punish me once again. Oh well, looks like I will just have to wait a bit longer and get it on sale when I’m back on land. Getting harder and harder to game on the move. Thanks DRM.

 

uPlay’s offline mode isn’t great, but it’s there! Ubisoft have ditched always-online DRM for all their products :)

 

It’s been a long while since I’ve checked up on this. Does Sam still have a new voice actor and look completely different?

Yeah, basically :/

He looks kinda the same, but Michael Ironside’s voice is just… ah well.
