Still no date for next Splinter Cell

It's been a while since we last saw the gruff yet stealthy agent Sam Fisher, and it seems like it is going to stay that way for some time. While Ubisoft recently held their Paris games showcase, Ubidays, fans were disappointed to see that Sam Fisher was absent. Even more odd is that Splinter Cell: Conviction was on display in 2007 at various events. Has Ubisoft gone back to the drawing board? All indications point to yes.
Realistically, this isn't such a bad outcome. The last Splinter Cell, even though it had amazing multiplayer, lacked the spark of Sam Fisher's previous games. Playing both sides of the coin was cool, but ultimately fumbled in its execution. Splinter Cell: Conviction was a step even further away from what made Splinter Cell a stealth genre contender.
With a release window now sitting firmly in 2009, let's hope Ubisoft tossed out the radical new direction for Sam Fisher and is sticking to its roots.

It's a pity that it might take longer for it to be released. I just hope its good when it finally comes out.
Ack! I think it needs a change. I did not care too much for double agent because so much, been there, done that. This sounds like it will rock. The Borne game showed us how NOT to do this type of game. Take your time, Ubisoft. Execute.
