Much like with the upcoming Dead Space remake, beloved stealth title Splinter Cell will have its story altered for the sake of “modern audiences” in its remake, which has many theorizing that propaganda or modern day politics will be shoved down the throats of players.
Ubisoft Toronto, the developer, is apparently searching for a scriptwriter capable of updating the original game’s story “for a modern audience”, a phrase that many have come to loathe as it usually results in said game inserting politics where there were none.
The Splinter Cell remake was announced back in December, and the game follows Sam Fisher, a black ops agent who is attempting to keep the world peaceful as a new World War is on the brink.
Part of the description for the scriptwriter job ad:
“Using the first Splinter Cell game as our foundation we are rewriting and updating the story for a modern-day audience. We want to keep the spirit and themes of the original game while exploring our characters and the world to make them more authentic and believable. As a Scriptwriter at Ubisoft Toronto, you will join the Narrative team and help create a cohesive and compelling narrative experience for a new audience of Splinter Cell fans.”
Remarks from producer Matt West when the remake was unveiled:
“Although we’re still in the very earliest stages of development, what we’re trying to do is make sure the spirit of the early games remains intact, in all of the ways that gave early Splinter Cell its identity. So, as we’re building it from the ground up, we’re going to update it visually, as well as some of the design elements to match player comfort and expectations, and we are going to keep it linear like the original games, not make it open world.”
“One of the things that, from my point of view is really exciting about this project, is that the last couple of games all of us have worked on have been really big worlds. What that means is that the economy of decisions is very spread out, whereas what I love about a Splinter Cell map is every square inch represents intentionality.”
“Every square inch is part of a choice, or directly offers a choice, or has a direct ramification. That density of gameplay is at the forefront in Splinter Cell, and that’s going to be really, really important for us. The gameplay experience we are targeting is directly tied to what we want players to feel, to capture the essence back when we were all playing the original games.”
The remake is the first main entry into the Splinter Cell series in roughly 10 years, so this news might make fans particularly disappointed.
“Updated for Modern Audiences”
This is never a good thing to say nowadays because it usually means cramming some inane progressive message into it.
Simple do not support any cucks at all. Pirate a game if you must.
People need to start a movement in gaming, because this just insane how long this s♥♥t has gone on already.
Start by supporting FOSS, so that game devs can freely create games and publish them on their own.
I recommend checking out “Game Development with Kevin and Ben” by Lord Voldy on itchio. The game calls out the corruption and wokeness in the video game industry. The game is also free and open sourced.
Usually? I think you should say “always”. XD
TLDR
updated for things dat should o stayed in sanatorium
Theyll make the main character have a boyfriend or husband just watch. That husband or boyfriend will be killed off in a ‘killing the gays’ trope.
As if the older ones aren’t progressive enough,maybe it has something to do with “redefining” what it’s like to unleash the nightmarish stab of progressiveness.
That’s why I prefer older stuff. It hasn’t been fucked with to that degree. Modern audiences, my ass.
Thankfully, it’s one of those games that visually has aged well. Not as high def as modern titles, but also not so janky that it takes you out of the experience.
“Modern” audiences eh? Well,teach them a crucial fact that this is what happened to the anti-kojima metal gear series…it’s way out of its course to be what it once was,and I dread to think people don’t even care about all that anymore…all they want out of this is the brand loyalty,nothing else. SMH and FFS!!!
Last epic splinter cell title was chaos theory…nobody dared to throw s♥♥t at the perfection of the atmosphere in that title alone.
Oh yeah, sorry, not to vent, but I wanted to mention a beloved franchise of mine, Ratchet and Clank, turn from a slick, level-headed criticism of consumerism, into the very thing it once made fun of, its ghoulish corpse now paraded around
That female Ratchet caused a artist to quit because they put tits on the female rachet
Let’s not forget the random woke lesbian “female Ratchet” character they introduced just for brownie points.
I will admit, that Chaos Theory was the last good game that had both gameplay AND story
It was an actual political thriller, ‘teasing’ events that could potentially happen in our world
But Blacklist? Bollywood garb-o storywise
Gameplay wise though, I give Blacklist a lot of s♥♥t, but it’s actually VERY good
Shame that Ironside wasn’t there, understandably so, I only recognized truly what difference he makes, is when Sam returned in the Ghost Recon DLC
Yeah, this is DOA. Modern remakes only desecrate the legacy of the original game.
then whats even the point ?
Meanwhile the dark/toxic side of Twit is celebrating. Finally a game for “us”! Great way to lose a large chunk of your audience.
