Nah, he sold his name to Ubi before he died to use on any game title. He continues to rest in peace.

The worst part is that they ruined Rainbow Six (yes with Siege (R6 was never meant to be a fuckin esports game) and then butchered it with Extraction) and now that we have this garbage................ yeah nothing good from Ubisoft for at least a few years.

 

[RJMacready73]

who the fuck plays this shit? that looks the biggest pile of derivative gender neutral balls i've ever seen, heck it doesnt even have balls, its the gaming equivalent of purple hair

 

[Fare thee well]

Hey it's Apex

I mean, Tom Clancy?

 

[SJRB]

At least it's getting ratio'd to hell on Youtube, I don't think this reveal went like Ubisoft expected.

 

[Raekwon26]

Whole thread just shitting on this game.

 

[mxbison]

New gen is starving for big games and we're getting all these shitty team shooter reveals and more job openings for multiplayer games from the big devs.

Not looking good right now....

 

[CuteFaceJay]

This game has its own thread? LOL Plz

 

[Miles708]

Games made by and for focus groups and marketing drones.
Focus Groupisoft.
Get it?
Get it.

 

[Banjo64]

I never thought I would put all my hopes into a Battlefield title to save us from the brink, but here we are.

I hope Battlefield and Halo are good, they look good so far.

Feels like there hasn’t been a good FPS released in years and years. I have little interest in BRs, so I don’t count Apex.

 

[cHaOs667]

The Division and Watch dogs: Legion got the baby nobody wanted.

The only reason I would like to try this is for the "realistic firearms and gunplay" - the other stuff in the game looks like every other F2P (Apex/Overwatch/Valorant?) shooter on the market.

 

[Sybrix]

Imagine keeping Splinter Cell dormant for the last 10 years and bringing it back in this shit..........

 

[Captain Hero]

Why are you going down too fast Ubisoft ?
you won't find anyone there but Konami!

 

[skneogaf]

Free is just too expensive for this game so I'd want to be paid if I'm going to play this.

 

[TheGodfather07]

its sad but these games aint aimed at us. look at the response. its aimed at the younger generation of today who are growing up playing this kind of stuff.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I won't be playing this CoD map but...Why are people so agitated over a game name ?

This could have been called Clive Barker's XD, or Hideo Kojima's XD and it would still be a game not for us.

or it's just a outlet for no new Splinter cell release ?

 

[TheGodfather07]

Wow it is almost like Ubisoft has completely run out of ideas...

run out of ideas? dont these cocksuckers have rayman and splinter cell? if they wanted to make actual exciting stuff, they could. they just dont want to put in the effort, time and money.

 

[KURDISTAN YPG]

LOOKS HORRIBLE CAPPPPP

 

[RoadHazard]

Absolutely not.

 

[GymWolf]

 

[KiNeMz]

This game was designed by the diversity division.

 

[ZywyPL]

Yesterday's reveal was like:

The game itself is completely fine, it's the Tom Clancy's branding that makes all the bad impression.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

I'm so glad I'm not a Tom Clancy fan. This looks like about as appealing as Destruction All Stars on PS5.

That was also a Tom Clancy game.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

I hope they release a Tom Clancy's Assassins Creed.

That's what we've all been waiting for, a new Splinter Cell.

 

[Arun1910]

Ya ain’t gotta play it though. Lots of games out there.

Did you just not read my entire reply or did It not make sense to you? I never said I was going to play it.

I summarised in my reply to you why the situation is disappointing. It is disappointing seeing one of your favourite publishers take the routes I mentioned with all their games.

 

[SJRB]

That's what we've all been waiting for, a new Splinter Cell.

I want a skateboarding Ezio in full Rainbow Six tactical gear with Sam Fisher night vision goggles dodging Azrael drones while doing kickflips while performing a 360 no-scope assassination on a templar in modern day quarantined Times Square New York.

It's what Tom Clancy would've wanted.

 

[ripeavocado]

All that's wrong with the videogame industry today in a short trailer, nice.

 

[Marvel]

Game looks kinda fun to me...

 

[Vae_Victis]

Didn't Ubisoft announce another game that looks and basically works the exact same as this not even a year ago? What happened to that? Are these games becoming so generic and forgettable not even their publishers remember they exist or which ones they own out of the bunch?

Anyway, more wood for the great "please I'm just like Overwatch/CoD/Fortnite please look at me and buy some microtransactions before I die a premature discontinuation" bonfire.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

The Art directors at Ubi need to be fired. The art style of their games is so unappealing. Watchdogs, Farcry's DLC, and now this shit.

Ubi: If so we're making this new team based shooter that has factions from previous Tom Clancy games and we need you to come up with some concept art.

Art Director: Okay yeah well since Tom Clancy games have a dark gritty art esthetic, I was thinking about brightening it up with some eighties punk rock spray paint.

Ubi

Okay sounds good.

Game Reveal:

Ubi:

 

[CAB_Life]

Generic: the Game.

It worked for Apex, though. So who knows?

 

[EekTheKat]

Maybe my understanding of trigger discipline is incorrect, but I always thought it was finger on trigger only when you're about to shoot.

There's a section in the video seems to show finger off trigger while reloading, then finger immediately back on trigger - seemingly without shooting.

The it cuts to a character walking forward with what looks like finger on trigger at all times.

Probably a minor nitpick considering it's a game, but for something carrying Tom Clancy's name something like that should not be so easily overlooked.

But then again the rest of the game looks like a clown car exploded and splattered rainbow colored schmutz all over the screen.

Never thought the day would come where I'd wish for UBIsoft to dial back the space magic and aliens in the Tom Clancy franchise and go back to a more grounded experience.

 

[niilokin]

watched the trailer again, goddam it looks fucking stupid. when I think of "punk rock" aesthetics in art style I think about MAD MAX not pink and purple graffitti and raincoats

 

[ToyMachine228]

You can tell that Ubisoft knows that they have to evolve their games as they have grown stale and boring but people keep having crushing reactions to what they show. I'm willing to give this a hands-on chance.

 

[manfestival]

run out of ideas? dont these cocksuckers have rayman and splinter cell? if they wanted to make actual exciting stuff, they could. they just dont want to put in the effort, time and money.

you know those things don't have to be mutually exclusive lol

 

[Max_Po]

Tom Clancy would be turning in his grave .... ...... IF he is still alive...

meaning: this shit looks so trash he would dig a grave and turn left and right to erase it from existence

 

[Kuranghi]

Imagine a Splinter Cell game where you play as Sam Fisher dressed as he normally is for a mission but its set in the cities from AC1 and he's just constantly complaining about how sweaty he is, you try to tail people to listen in on their conversations but he gives himself away because the sweat is making loud rubber squeaking noises:

Slave owner in baths: "Did you hear that? The assassin draws near! I thought I smelled something!"

Even a fucking parody game would be something at this point.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Wasn't Mark Rubin the one talking about next-gen fish? Ubi really dropped the ball today you can just look at Twitter engagement with the hashtags #SplinterCell and realize what players really want.

I wondered where I remembered him from, yes it's the next gen fish AI guy

Game is in good hands.

 

[iorek21]

 

[StreetsofBeige]

UBI released new boxart for their other games.

 

[Hypno285]

So uh, about that single player Tom Clancy game we always wanted. Yeah uh, that's never to going to happen at this point.

 

[Fbh]

Oh boy, a new Ubisoft game I couldn't care less about?

So unexpected!!!

 

[Coney]

What a tone deaf company, my god.

 

[Kuranghi]

This game was designed by the diversity division.

 

[wipeout364]

It probably would have been better received if they had called it:
Rayman’s Xdefiant. Or
Let’s Dance Xdefiant

 

[rkofan87]

give me the prince remake date now.

 

[Games of Today]

There is being disappointed and then there is…this. What the hell kind of a post is this?

That's the thing I'm not just disappointed. Ubisoft went from fucking Far Cry 2, to this! I'm so sick of every company thinking that this kind of neon, edgy, lgbt colored culture is popular and great game design. It pisses me off. It's seaping to almost every multiplayer game design company in the industry.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Poor Tom Clancy...

...because of Ubisoft, he's rolling in his grave so hard, he's drilled a fucking hole all the way through to China.

 

[Airbus Jr]

If im Ubisoft il do everything to bring Kojima to make a Splinter Cell game

Seriously tactical espionage are the one thing he excell most

This XDeviant game has permanently damaged Tom Clancy name

 

[StreetsofBeige]

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

This is awful.

Just awful.

The youtube comments are comedy gold btw, worth a read.
