I love the gameplay so far. And hopefully it'll still remain true to Splinter Cell's roots and have some stealth segments, and not be pure action. I'm also glad they brought back the knife and takedowns you didn't have in Conviction. As for the moving Mark & Execute...that was just great and Sam is fluid enough to match the great graphics.
I hope they'll bring back the interrogation, beat someone to near death portions.
I'm really sad about no Ironside though. Is this gonna be a thing? Iconic voices who've been the voice of characters for years being replaced for no good reason? That's the same thing they're doing in Absolution, and I hate it to be honest.
Maybe it because Michael Ironside didn't want to do the voice.
I assume there must of been a valid reason because it doesn't look like they did it to refresh the series. Conviction was that game and Ironside is in as well.
I assume it was a mutual decision between both parties. If it wasn't, why would Ironside narrate the game.
The gameplay at E3 must have been the biggest bait and switch ever though "Oh my, playing on the Middle Eastern side of a conflict, that's groundbreaking, I need to play this ga....oh...oh I see, just same ol' same ol'"

It's not that the new guy does a bad voice. It's just I'm used to Ironside as Fisher and want his voice as Fisher. Like Nathan Drake is Nolan North. Agent 47 is David Bateson.
It was their whole desire to have him completely motion captured, I guess. They wanted this guy to actually play Sam Fisher in every possible aspect, and Ironside is just too old for the physical stuff.
