I don't want it to be a open world game, but after MGSV I have hope that stealth open world like that is possible.

Splinter Cell: Game Direction Prediction Thread

Into this gen, I just cannot think of a single high-budget Ubisoft title that is not open world. So..
There is one actually, For honor, which they probably couldn't figure out a way to open-world. Lol.

Lol I forgot that. Probably should have said single-player games.
Ideal world: a semi-sorta "open world" ala Hitman levels. A lot of stuff in those levels is just there for dressing and world design, and no for linear progression in levels.
Likely take: Ubisoft Open World Game #1476 with the same levels of repetition they've never addressed. They'll be doubly entranced in this direction because Metal Gear tried an open world, too.

It's Ubisoft, so it's almost guaranteed to be a GaaS. I don't know if it'll be generic like the Division/Ghost Recon. I think they'll want to give you Sam Fisher...unless he's retired and now the one briefing all the agents.
I imagine that they'll either have him in his own campaign and you make your own Fourth Echelon character, or they use a new game to springboard Sam away, as they should have done with Blacklist, considering the visual and voice redesign he had (tho the latter is totally understandable due to Michael Ironside's illness).
That would be the best route tbh but the cynic in me sees the direction Ubisoft is going with their Tom Clancy games. I foresee RPG mechanics, an open world, and maybe even loot and survival systems.
Open world wouldn't be bad per se but I don't see them taking the MGSV approach.
Sort of like Hitman and Ground Zeroes but with a lot of hiding in the shadows.
I want a short single player game that is replayable with lots of choices for routes and gadgets.
Then I'd like Spies vs Mercs to be included but also available as a stand alone game.

I feel like a lot of people don't really realize the poll is satire
The game is not going to be open world, splinter cell is based On going to a bunch of different countries all over the world the only one limited to one country was maybe part 1 in Georgia (pretty sure at least one mission was in America)
It's not going to be an rpg it will have linear progression
The question is will it be linear missions or sandbox missions
Since I don't care at all about the neocon story line I hope they sacrifice that for more open mission design with optional objective

Unfortunately I think this is probably right. "Sam Fisher is stranded in the lawless wilds of [some acceptably 'exotic' place]! Work with other Splinter CellTM AgentsTM in an immersive, engaging online experienceTM to take back what's yours! Use over 1000000000000000000000 types of identical looking guns to take out baddies with style!!"
How about classic splinter cell. No mark n execute fuckery, mission by mission, with some expanded sandboxy levels for Sam fisher shenanigans.
Give me the atmosphere n tension and cerebral feel of Chaos Theory back pls.

Instead of one ubisoft open world, it's a series of small open worlds, each centered around a stealth mission (with a few variants) that you can execute a few different ways
Splinter Cell: Ground zeroes 2 (Dawn of Hitman)
Splinter Cell: Ground zeroes 2 (Dawn of Hitman)
Wide linear stealth/action with all the bells and whistles please.
* Different awesome suits
* Lots of gadgets
* Multiple ways to knock down/kill enemies
* More cool ways to move around the level like the old cutting through plastic and fabric
* Well thought out infiltrations
* Improved animations
* Old Sam Fisher back
All that and more with great level design and AI.

I'd take that over a ClassicTM Splinter Cell experience any day of the week. But unfortunately it won't happen because that would be too similar to Ghost Recon.
Love me a good looter shooter I just don't want Splinter Cell to be one lol
I JUST WANT MGSVI
Not open world please. Unless its a dense open hub like deus ex mankind divided with lots of hiding spots and fun exploration and stealth opprotunities. Id prefer if it were level based after recently playing through conviction
Sure but what I was describing was hence the 100000000000 guns lol
Can't believe it took this long for a CT mention. :(
Classic SC fanboy in me is dying from all the replies in this thread.
How about just a straight up level based stealth game? Hell look at Hitman and maybe go episodic if youre not sure of its success.
To be fair though, after Phantom Pain I kinda do want a Open World stealth game that learns from its mistakes but Im not sure Ubi is the dev to do it. I'd be interested if they tried tho.

I Honestly feel it's just going to be Blacklist, but just open world. Probably bring the multiplayer component back to some extent.
Playing CT for the first time and it's pretty great, a modern one of those would be nice
Weird how natural 'using the mouse wheel to control movement speed' feels

The modern Hitman games are GaaS and they're awesome so you can make level based GaaS. But I don't know if Ubisoft will ever make AAA games that aren't open world again.
I really, really don't want the next Splinter Cell to be any of those, especially the first one.
I'm really not sure how they can jig this series into an open world.........I fear we will find out soon enough,lol.
I'm that starved for another one that I'll be willing to give anything a shot at this point but I'd be happiest if:
-It was a contained story, no sidequests or daily missions.
-No multiple currencies.
-No loot(rare Pistol supressor, common pistol suppressor ect)
-Lighting and sound was again a core part of the gameplay.

I just... don't get it. Why did this need changing.
Goddamn the turnaround back in the PS2/XBX/GC days was fuckin amazing.
I know they had multiple studios going concurrently, but still. So sweet.
I just want a Chaos Theory 2-like. The old Sam, levels with a lot of freedom, varied locations in multiple countries, great musics, good story, epic lines and with a big replay-value.
Completing the game like a ghost without knocking anyone in the hardest difficulty (I still remember the boiler room...) shows how much the level design was a piece of art.
I love Splinter Cell since the first one (I'm not counting Conviction as being a Splinter Cell) and an open world SC would be terrible in my opinion (and the open world is a big part why I hated MGS V).
Splinter Cell always takes place in multiple countries across the world.
Chaos Theory for example :
- Peru
- the Pacific ocean
- Panama
- New York
- Hokkaido
- North Korea
- South Korea
- Tokyo
I don't see how an open world could work in SC. Splinter Cell is all about a worldwide crisis with Sam Fisher being deployed all across the world. Splinter Cell isn't MGS with just 1, 2 or 3 big areas (and MGS V is garbage).

Splinter Cell - 3.6 million
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow - 2.8 million
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - 2.5 Million
Splinter Cell: Conviction: 1.9 million
Splinter Cell: Blacklist - 2 million
Selling an average of 2.5 million (if i didn't fuck up my math).
So yeah, maybe if we are going by EA standards of "it didn't sell well."
This thread is just cynical and in bad faith and it feels bad man.
I rather it be a more serious Hitman, with a even greater focus on stealth, but the level should be as varied as Hitmans levels/missions.
Night missions, shooting out lights to darken an area an so on.
I want a old school Splinter Cell experience.

Shout out to Chaos Theory for still being god-tier stealth.
Chaos Theory 2 pls, just make it like hitman if you need the Gaas thing.
