So I take it this isn't going to be a social stealth game now?

Much better than the old direction, assuming that the character-redesign isn't the only thing that has changed

That's kind of a bummer if it's true. I really liked the direction the game was taking in it's first iteration.

Yeah, that actually seemed to be a thing that could've saved the franchise.

Hmm, i preferred the old brian ekberg character design. There was a disparity between the face and the voice in that video. I'm curious to see actual gameplay if they've overhauled it though, as the previous iteration already seemed interesting.

I hate that character design. But then again, everything looks bad compared to Brian Ekberg.

It's from www.kotaku.com, I whole heartedly recommend it for keeping up with video game news!

As for the video, I would prefer the series to go back to it's roots.. that's what made it great.
Judging by the pre-rendered video, they're going in the opposite direction.. sadly. *Tear*

I'm glad Sam lost the shaggy beard and hair, but that just looks like a CG trailer, it could still be Hobo-Cell.

It seems they might be going back to the games roots, which I'm glad about...I loved those games
It was just so satisfying to grab someone from behind and just snap their neck or stab them...

The series has been in it's roots.  That's sort of the problem.

To you maybe.  A lot of people love Splinter Cell, me included.  I liked the direction that the game was going in, but I do like the look of Sam better from this trailer.  I hope they make it have more open, Bourne like moments while still having parts that feel like traditional Splinter Cell.  I don't see why that's not possible.

AHAHAHA That's exactly what I thought he looked like before too!

Anyways, this trailer could be the progression from the Double Agent to conviction like he's growing his hair out and then something goes bad and then he has to grow the beard and hair and it becomes the social stealth that was first introduced.

The video is from blip.tv, not Kotaku. At least, that's where the player and video is hosted..

Was that Sam?  It's cool that he's all clean cut now, but his head looks more square.  =  /  Either way, we'll see how this goes.  Hoping it doesn't turn out to be Splinter Cell: Assassin's Creed Edition.

It lives! I can't wait. Splinter Cell: Double Agent was a disappointment, but Chaos Theory was the best of it's genre.

There's clearly a link to Kotaku in the video player itself, but you're right in the fact it's hosted on blip tv.

You sure that's actually it?

The picture I seen was a man with long hair and a beard....that had none of the 2 nor did it look like Sam Fisher.

Yes, that was clearly Michael Ironside's voice, and Sam Fisher's likeness.

They had developed Conviction, but there was a lot of backlash at the direction the series was going, so Ubi stated that they had started re-designing a large portion of the game.

The picture with the long hair/beard was the old design, I'm assuming this is the re-done one, more like Fisher of old

I was very much looking forward to playing a hobo stealth game. I hope that's just the beginning, or there's some weird hair growing feature, requiring you to shave and such.

Probably not going to happen though.
