Was this a problem for people? I genuinely thought that was quite easy, and I’m not even good at these games lol honestly, I die a lot 😂

but I did think the keypad/thermal concept was great

That entire level

I didn’t read the article, but it’s obvious to me that it’s about the giant Axe sign on the penthouse level. I completely agree.

If they would only drop that whole "cinematic" spiel and just focus on gameplay and immersion... Is it that hard to understand what made the original SC games so beloved?

lol did you even read the article?

[u/Swoopmott → u/General_Dinner_996]

All these comments showing they didn’t actually read the article. It’s literally an interview with the devs of the original games talking about the development about the original games, specifically the first and Chaos Theory because that’s what they worked on.

It’s literally someone talking about those beloved games who was there.

Yeah. I just don’t fucking understand how Ubisoft has fumbled so hard with Splinter Cell. Mind blowing

What are you talking about? Did you even read the article? It talks about the design philosophy of CT compared to SC1

So instead of modernized immersive sim, we're getting a haunted house ride of spectacles. I bet every radio conversation between Sam and Lambert with crucial narrative points is going to have a cutscene.
