Otherwise, it'll seem forced-or, perhaps, feel like a whole new, different game.

We decided to change, to renew the brand. We thought that the gameplay was a bit repetitive over time. 'You were given orders, you were told what to do-it was a very cool experience, but this has created a lack of differentiation between each game.

So Double Agent, despite still being a great game, ended up being more of the same: more hiding in the dark, more climbing up pipes, and more sneaking up on no-do-gooders from behind and putting them down for an extended naptime.Ĭonviction, however, is running with the idea of a 'franchise reinvention' so fast that you may not even recognize it as a Splinter Cell game.
