So he'll turn to a fugitive, and he'll be hunted by those who have been betraying him for all these years. He discovers that everything is dysfunctional-it's not working as it used to-and at some point, Sam will have to do something that will be perceived as very bad, even if it's not.

'The high-level story after Double Agent,' says Ferland, 'is two years have passed, and there's something that goes wrong with an old friend of Sam's, and he decides to go back to Third Echelon Splinter Cell's top-secret arm of the National Security Agency. Otherwise, it'll seem forced-or, perhaps, feel like a whole new, different game. For the first time since the original Splinter Cell, we're changing the core mechanics, the core gameplay.'īut from a fiction point of view, you can't just muck up the gameplay without good reason.

Sure, Fisher spent some time in jail in that fourth chapter of the stealthy series, but it was only for one half-baked level (as a 'prisoner,' he still had some of his high-tech gadgets, for chrissakes). But Splinter Cell: Double Agent didn't deliver on that unspoken promise. After all, you don't show our favorite government secret agent in a mug shot unless you're planning on flipping the script inside out. THE FAMILIAR SLEEK BLACK CATSUIT and all-purpose vision headgear (with the famous, iconic three glowing green circles) were nowhere to be seen, replaced by a Creamsicle-orange prison jumpsuit and 5 o'clock (plus overtime) shadow-Sam Fisher seemed to be in for a franchise reinvention.
