Players make tough choices in Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Splinter Cell: Blacklist will give players tough choices when it comes to dealing with enemies.

Sam Fisher will be faced with moral and ethical issues as you progress through the game.

Creative director Maxime Beland said the developers wanted to put players in difficult situations similar to those encountered by real soldiers.

Beland told GameInformer: “We love the idea of putting the player in those situations that [real soldiers] are going through.

“It’s not a question sometimes of doing the right thing or the wrong thing. Sometimes it’s ‘I need to do the wrong or the wrong-er. What do I do?’ There’s no good option.”

Beland went on explain the circumstances that Fisher would find himself in.

He added: “The interrogations are a bit of that. We want to put the player into situations that are like the one [we showed] at E3; the guy just told you everything you needed to know. You’re done. You’re good. You’re Sam Fisher. This guy is finished. Are you going to kill him?

“I think it’s cool to make people reflect on it and hopefully grow as humans a little bit. Because we’ve got some guys everywhere in the world that are making those decisions every day for us.”

Splinter Cell: Blacklist arrives 2013.
