Rumor: The reasons behind Ironside's Splinter Cell split

If it's true, then emo Sam Fisher can go fuck off.

That's it, Fisher. I'm pulling you out!

If you look at the history of actors, they have a tendancy to ask for more and more, regardless if their work is responsible for success or not. Their egos are of the "I was in it, so that must be why it was a success" (of course if its a failure its everyone else's fault).

I bet he either asked for an extra zero or two on his salary or a percentage of the sales, thinking he was working on a movie and could make the same demands.

Remember that SAG recently threatened the gaming industry when they wanted a larger slice of the sales pie? I can't remember the outcome though.

Let's see, who deserves millions of dollars...the people that created, designed, developed and financed the game with thousands of hours of effort...or the actor(s) that put in a few hours in the recording booth?

Being a bit of subject...

Why does Sam Fisher look at young again in the Photo, like someone in their late 30's, early 40's ??

In Splinter Cell 1 & 2 I got the impression that: his hair was going grey, approaching over-the-hill, with a quite jaded demeanor. Oh yeah, he also had a teenage daughter!

I guess they're trying to milk the Franchise by putting him in a time machine and making him 10 years younger.

I hope he isn't leaving, even if Splinter Cell is going to the dogs, I wouldn't imagine that anyone else could give Fisher a voice which truly matches...

Well, good luck to both Ubi and Ironside, they're both great...

The Splinter Cell series seems to be getting weak. Word to Ubisoft: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You've already sucked the joy and charm from Prince of Persia by slapping your 'edgy' focus-group-fueled bullsh*t all over it. Maybe, just maybe the Splinter Cell series became popular because PEOPLE LIKE SNEAKING AROUND LIKE A HIGH-TECH NINJA IN THE F*CKING DARK!!!!

Let me guess - Michael Ironside is being replaced with Jared Leto, right?

The real reason?

Ironside no likey emo Fisher.

Not a fan of the games, but I am a fan of the Ironside and I think we're about to see some heads explode at Ubisoft.

I'm really hoping that they don't try to keep Fisher in the game. If you can't get the actor, you can't keep the character. They should do a Find->Replace "Sam Fisher" with "New Guy" or it's really going to be weird.

Please oh please oh friggen please don't let that noise about the new Sam Fisher voice be true. Michael Ironside is the best and greatest VA to ever grace the gaming world. If Ubisoft is truely booting him from the limelight then I will be one sorely disappointed Splinter Cell fan. Michael Ironside made Sam Fisher what he is today and I couldn't imagine anyone else to play the part. As for the "patrick dump" rumor, please don't let that be true.
