Honest and thoughtful opinions wanted... | Forums

[CamberGreber]

Thanks again for including us. I haven't watched all the videos but for the ones I did.

1.) 5 - While the Panther path looked much improved I thought the video didn't show enough of this range of play styles we keep hearing about.

2.) 3 - While I did like seeing the spidercam and the sniper support I did not like the fast exsplosive tone of the video it seemed like it was trying to hard.

3.) 10 - This was a great way to further communicate with fans and get some laughs as well good job.

4.) 7 - While I liked hearing the B&W is gone and non Leathals are back I would have preferred to hear also about LKP icon removal. (although i didn't see it in the E3 trailer)

5.) 8 - Very cool seeing lots of Legacy gadgets there (I realize there is more to come) but..... Still No Night-vision or Thermal mentioned.

6.) 2 - I understand needing to appeal to a more action oriented audience but this presentation went way too far and let down lots of SC fans.

I for one will always reserve my Final Judgement till the actual release. Till then proof via walthroughs demonstrations and Forum communication gos a long way.

1) 9/10 - appears to be more refined than conviction which is good, only drawbacks were a daylight level (I guess one is okay total) and frogger up the wall
2) for sc 7/10 if not sc 10/10 - very awesome lookin but too much shooting, good takedowns and holding on the truck underside though
3) 6/10 - not much content here but he's a cool guy and funny so plus on that
4) 10/10 - great to hear about max's reaction to black and white, stealth promises, just wish it was longer
5) 5/10 - nothing here really and sad to see no sc-20k
6) 10/10 - though I may not agree with everything that was shown blacklist won he show and seeing hard work finally paying off in terms of a reveal was wonderful


Is that good length Zack?

1) Gameplay demo - 6.5/10
Calling in airstrikes as a regular feature of gameplay in Splinter Cell is terribly disappointing. It only means that situations will arise in the game where Devs will *encourage the use of this. : (

2) CGI Trailer / "Welcome to 4th Echelon" - 7/10
Return to global/broad storyline is good. Looks very action-heavy. I'll try to play it with an open mind.

3) Tobuscus video - 4/10
Regurgitated sound-bytes & information that I'm already aware of. Waste of my time. A couple of laughs, but slightly obnoxious at the same time.


4) ComDev video #1 - 8/10
Honest approach. We'll see when more info is released.


5) Sam's Gear video - 4/10
This might be informative/exciting to some, but I've already informed myself well before this video found it's way into my browser.

1) 5/10 - Let's put it this way; If the demo was at night or there was more stealth shown there would be less **** being thrown at you guys.

2) 6/10 - Pretty cool and all if it was a trailer for a movie, but I've learned over time CGI trailers aren't exactly accurate.

3) 8/10 - Automatically good if Zack is in it. Plus a little bit of comedy never hurts.

4) 10/10 - Fans were thought of here and effort was put to assure fans that everything is going to be okay.

5) 7/10 - Shiny gadgets, cool. Now let's see them in action!

6) 9/10 - The point was for people to buzz about it and to make it look cool. But like I said before, it could have been equally as cool at night.

This is great, guys. I really appreciate all your contributions.
...by all means, to those who haven't taken part, please do!

Gameplay Demo
7/10 - It was a smooth and stylish demonstration for the innovations made to the Conviction formula AND it showed some fan favorites, BUT the balance between stealth and action (the vagueness of the airstrike being optional) left a bad taste.

Welcome to 4th Echelon (CGI Trailer)
5/10 - Starts out nice, and the new (crawler cam) gadget coupled with the rappelling was really cool, but had there been an emphasis on more then just cinematic action it would have passed as a guilty pleasure. Unfortunately that was not the case and the trailer fails to earn the "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell" label in my book.(also, where's Sam's gloves?)

Tobuscus video
8/10 - Entertaining and informative. Not much else to say...

ComDev Video #1
10/10 - Good stuff there. It's so great to see the developers communicate to fans in such a casual and passionate way.

Sam's Gear Video
9/10 - Nothing the reveal didn't confirm, but as a standalone feature it was cool and informative, also lends hints to what else may be installed.

Microsoft Demo
10/10 - It's difficult to announce with a bang nowadays but you guys managed to pull it off. I can't really fault the presentation and efficiency of the demo--it wasn't stealth, but it was promising, and really cool.

Gameplay Video

7/10 - I think that the gameplay was very fluid (aside from the leap frog climbing) and was fun to watch. Good eye candy for sure. However, I felt disappointed with what I saw. I didn't think it was Splinter Cell until I saw the goggles. The game does look fun though.

Welcome to 4th Echelon (CGI trailer)

6/10 - The excitement was there yes, but it didn't feel like Splinter Cell. It could have been a trailer for any modern warfare shooter. The last few moments of the trailer felt out of sync, with what felt like poor face animation.

Tobuscus Video

8/10 - Definitely the funniest video for it and it is good to see the developers talking so passionately about the game

ComDev Video #1

9.5/10 - Hearing from the developer is by far the best way to promote your game. Discussing the game along with more game images and videos would make it a lot better

Sam's Gear video

7/10 - It was definitely cool to see the character model and the various gadgets we'll get to use. Needs more gameplay though.

Microsoft Demo

9/10 - A perfect way to announce a game. It's always better when it comes out of nowhere and surprises everyone. This was certainly a surprise, especially following that Halo 4 gameplay vid. You guys followed that and made me far more interested in Blacklist than Halo 4.

1) Gameplay demo: 6/10

Slick presentation, but not enough to convince me that this is as epic of a game as they say it is.

2) CGI Trailer / "Welcome to 4th Echelon": 7/10

I'm usually not a fan of early CG trailers like this, but it was fine.

3) Tobuscus video: 8/10

Good info. Good laugh.

4) ComDev video #1: 9.5/10

Questions I wanted to ask and answers I wanted to hear. The remaining 0.5 is just because I would have liked to have seen more of it.

5) Sam's Gear video: 9/10

Very cool. Want more though. Crossbow? Crawly drone?

6) Microsoft demo: 5/10

Merely ok. A discrediting first view of blacklist. Many old fans were seriously turned off.

Gameplay Video

9/10 - I was pretty impressed, the visuals look stunning and animations are slick. However I would like to see more stealth elements as I'm sure all on this forum would.

Welcome to 4th Echelon (CGI trailer)

6/10 - It's a good trailer, but again maybe a little too action-packed. Good way to introduce some new gadgets like the * surveillance spider grenade*

Tobuscus Video

7.5/10 - Some good info and a good laugh.

ComDev Video #1

10/10 - Fantastic to see a response from the developers. More of this should be done in the future.

Sam's Gear video

9/10 - Uber cool teaser video much like the one for ACIII introducing Connor's weapons. Even cooler with Sam in it!

Microsoft Demo

9/10 - Same rating as for the gameplay video. You guys owned the stage!

1) Gameplay Demo:- 7/10
Super slick and smooth and good to see some of the classic splinter cell moves back. The whistling I had no idea would make a comeback! The one part I couldn't watch was the airstrike, splinter cell isn't the place for all that. As everyone has mentioned a million times we need to see more stealth.

2) CGI Trailer:- 5/10
Well its cool and all but Sam going guns blazing is a big no-no. But I'm really interested about the little drone though.

3) Toby Video:- 8/10
You should use Toby more often hilarious stuff but yeah most of the info was known.

4) ComDev Video:- 9/10
This video is one of the reasons I hoping to god this will be good and I'm so happy they removed the annoying B&W.

5) Microsoft Demo:- 9/10
Huge *** shock for me! I had no idea they were going to show it. Great show that was
