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

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.
MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And not including Sam Fisher would also be weird.

Like the Splinter Cell books? (At least the first one)
PunchingWood@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Oh well, can’t be disappointed about something I didn’t even know was in the works lol

Do kids nowadays even know what Splinter Cell is?
PunchingWood@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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…
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Doubtful. But that could let it be an r rated or high pg13 option.
echodot@feddit.uk 10 months ago
The last game came out over a decade ago so the youngest audience would have to be 20 plus. Might as well take the opportunity to make it r-rated.
Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I doubt it.
SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
You could say that it splintered??

Is the Michael Bay Skibidi Toilet adaptation still coming though?
Stamets@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Tom Hardy was doing a Splinter Cell movie?
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Apparently the announcement was made in stealth mode.
Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
What better way to advertise your clandestine movie than with clandestine marketing?
intensely_human@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Yeah but it’s dead now
