I’m super excited about this game(and it’s return of Classic SvM!!!) and would love to give the community an additional reason to buy and play the game via creating a competitive event where people could come and compete in your game from around the world and have their skills displayed via Streams like we did for Hypefesetation 2.Well I just bought this now - thankfully didn't pay that much for it as it was 75% off but I'm getting these crashes. Will you guys have a Matchmaking system similar to Halo 2’s or StarCraft 2 where via ranked games you’re matched against people of similar skill levels? Will all equipment be available in both Classic and Blacklist versions of SvM from the start or will people have to go through the process of unlocks/xp and what not.Ĥ.

My questions revolve around the games competitive nature in today’s world of #eSports. …but for now, what’s on your mind? I’ll be here for an hour to take your questions.įirst and foremost thank you for taking the time w/ this Q&A, Zack. Mercs (both Classic and Blacklist), and there’s still more to reveal down the line… There’s SO much to obviously talk about with Spies vs. Despite the uptick in speed and pacing, strategy and teamwork remain at the heart of the gameplay. Spies now have access to lethal weapons and gadgets – adding an entirely new dynamic to Spies vs. You can do so by configuring loadouts with different weapons, gadgets, vision modes, and armor parts with both active and passive abilities – which are specific to each of the sides. It’s really all about creating your own playstyle. It supports a maximum of eight players (4v4) and, while many core principals return, there’s an incredible amount of customization that comes into play. Mercs ‘Blacklist’ is a new and refreshing take on the original Splinter Cell multiplayer experience. It’s also worth mentioning that the maps played in Classic are lit differently, to further push the core elements of light and shadow. What you can’t see is your greatest threat. The Mercs have heavy weaponry, a flashlight to track the Spies, their own set of tools, and force… but also need to play intelligently, themselves. Spies have no lethal weapons, and rely on vertical navigation, shadows, night vision goggles, and smarts. It’s 2v2… and very much an intense game of ‘cat and mouse’ meets ‘hide and seek,’ in which you and your partner need to be in constant communication to outsmart your opponent(s). He’s returned for Blacklist as a Game Director, and he’s bringing his baby back just like it was in PT and Chaos Theory. Gunther Galipot was the creator of the original concept of Spies vs. ‘Classic’ is a mode that was designed specifically for our fans. Two VERY different games, played in VERY different ways. Going under the hood, today we’re revealing two of the multiplayer modes: “Spies vs.
Mercs isn’t done until you play as both classes - which also helps prevent the ‘rage quit’ (added bonus!).
The same thing goes for playing as (and neutralizing) the Merc.

There’s a very applicable quote from “The Art of War” (by Sun Tzu) that I like to use: “Know thyself know thy enemy.”īy that, I mean that you can’t truly master the Spy until you fully understand how to eliminate one.
Mercs in Blacklist is that you will be playing both sides before a game is done. Either you’re playing as a Spy in third-person perspective, trying to remain undetected and hack terminals while being quick, agile, and deadly in shadows or you’re the Merc, in first-person perspective, a brute force with unmatched weaponry who’s trying to defend the data from the infiltrators. Mercs, I will say one thing: It is an experience like no other. Mercs trailer or not, we’re bringing some deeper insight (and a live Q&A to follow) into what we’re working with in Splinter Cell Blacklist’s multiplayer experience.įirst off, if you’re not familiar with Spies vs. It feels so good to be back on PlayStation.Blog!
