E3 2012: New Splinter Cell: Ironside ‘Blacklisted’
Does the new young Sam destroy his character?

Few game voice actors can say they have made a strong impact with their in-game character.
Jen Taylor as Cortana. Nolan North as Nathan Drake. David Hayter as Solid Snake. These are the exceptions.
Arguably one of the best that would appear on that list is Michael Ironside, the charismatic and legendary voice behind Splinter Cell‘s Sam Fisher.
Today, Ubisoft announced the next iteration in the franchise entitled Blacklist, and many warning signs blared in my head: little to no stealth was present, Sam looks young, the connection to Conviction was never explained (as it is obviously a sequel since Third Echelon is shut down)…
And one of the most appalling: Michael Ironside will not be returning as the voice of Sam.
