You could say that it splintered??

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Is the Michael Bay Skibidi Toilet adaptation still coming though?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

dunno about budget, I'm just taking in terms of the demand for these types of movies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

yeah, thats fair

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tom Hardy was doing a Splinter Cell movie?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Apparently the announcement was made in stealth mode.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

What better way to advertise your clandestine movie than with clandestine marketing?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Oh well, can't be disappointed about something I didn't even know was in the works lol

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Anything Splinter Cell without Michael Ironside's voice would be weird.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And not including Sam Fisher would also be weird.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Like the Splinter Cell books? (At least the first one)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never read any of the books, I kind of fell off of Clancy quite a while ago. Worth reading?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I only read the first one so far. It's alright but they're not written by Clancy sadly.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Do kids nowadays even know what Splinter Cell is?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day 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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

People in their 20s are familiar will Splinter Cell classics like Splinter Cell Conviction.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

OOF. that's considered a classic now? 🪦

I have the artbook lying around my place somewhere...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I want a remake of Pandora Tomorrow. I got it for free with my graphics card back in the day but it only ran on windows XP for some weird reason and was hard to remaster or the source code was lost. I haven't played it in fifteen years but I have fond memories

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My favorite part was the Afghanistan level.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Lol the least splinter cell like level in the series(still a fun level)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Doubtful. But that could let it be an r rated or high pg13 option.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I doubt it.
