We live in the weirdest timelines.
Sonic revitalised video game adaptions.
But splinter cell, arguably one of the easiest things to adapt (style wise) gets merced.
- I have a feeling it's because zany animated movies are an easier sell to kids.
  
  i mean im a smoothbrain but, i think splinter cell would probably be equally cheap to make since you have so much less cgi youd need
Tom Hardy was doing a Splinter Cell movie?
- Apparently the announcement was made in stealth mode.
  
  What better way to advertise your clandestine movie than with clandestine marketing?
Oh well, can't be disappointed about something I didn't even know was in the works lol
Anything Splinter Cell without Michael Ironside's voice would be weird.
- All I want is a final proper send-off Splinter Cell before he dies. Sam Fisher's final job type vibe. I think there is some cool potential there - not that I trust Ubisoft to pull it off, mind.
- And not including Sam Fisher would also be weird.
  
  Like the Splinter Cell books? (At least the first one)
Do kids nowadays even know what Splinter Cell is?
- I bet it's a major reason why they decided to drop it.
  
  Unless they'd pair it with a new game. Wasn't the last one over 10 years ago?
- People in their 20s are familiar will Splinter Cell classics like Splinter Cell Conviction.
  
  OOF. that's considered a classic now? 🪦
  
  I have the artbook lying around my place somewhere...
- I doubt it.
