Old Sam Fisher is old in Splinter Cell: Conviction

Despite his comfy Jason Bourne-like turtleneck and new 'tude, Sam Fisher hasn't been able to reinvent himself as far as his aging body goes. Splinter Cell: Conviction will see our stealthy superdude slinking around in his 50s, an age mostly associated with dust and Werther's Originals. "He's pretty old, actually," a game dev told VG247 back at E3, further adding that Fisher would definitely be in his 50's for Conviction. Heck, we could only hope to look that good when we hit our 50s!

So, Sam, what's your secret? Centrum Silver?

I gotta say, I'm really getting sick of this "[adjective] [noun] is [adjective]" thing. Its not cute anymore.

Cute meme isn't cute anymore.

......wait...

Did joystiq just use a 4chan meme as a post title? What is this world coming to?

This isn't really that big a surprise. I mean he started the first game in his 40's, didn't he. Wiki has his DOB at 1957. So really he's aging at a perfectly normally pace corresponding with release dates. (I can't recall, but I think he may have gone James Bond and stopped aging in Double Agent, but if that was the case it looks like it caught up with him)
