Splinter Cell 2015: 10 Essential Improvements It Must Have

10. Deal With Fisher Appropriately

As much as we love Michael Ironside - alongside Solid Snake he's got the gruff-chops to be picked out on tone alone - he said himself in a Reddit AMA that "nobody wants to see a 65 year-old Sam Fisher bounce around on set [...] stumbling while he kills people" in response to the idea of him getting in any motion-capture suits. What we propose - which was a popular theory when Ubisoft announced the switch Eric Johnson - is that Fisher retires to a support role, instead offering his advice and personality to a newly-trained recruit. We know there are multiple Splinter Cell agents in the world anyway - some more secretive than others - and if the person in question was trained by Fisher himself Ubi can get away with having some similar animations crossing over. It would easily make for a more interesting story, solve the huge age problem the series has for when each instalment has taken place, and keep Ironside in the game but out of a mo-cap suit. Everybody wins.
