Hitman VS Splinter Cell. Which game series you like most ?

Hitman series and Splinter Cell series both are legendary stealth game series. Hitman already give there latest instalment "Absolution" and for new splinter cell we have to wait for a while. By the way my question is which game or which series you like most. Let me know and feel free to share your opinion. Thanks :D

Splintercell, no contest. The first three games in the Splintercell series are just really good stealth games, while the stealth in Hitman has always been a bit cumbersome.

I like the early Hitman games, don't get me wrong, they just don't touch Splintercell in terms of tension and quality (imo of course).

Splinter Cell.

I have to go with Hitman.

well they're both stealth games, but splinter cell is about hiding in the dark, where as hitman is about hiding in plain site....i guess it just whichever fits your fancy

i like em both almost equally and when you do a mission perfectly in either of em it's one of the most satisfying things ever

overall though i'd pick hitman...how everything comes together with so many options it at times kind of feels like a puzzle game and you really have to study your surroundings to be able to pull off a perfect hit

I've always considered Hitman to be the much more ambitious game series of the two. Frankly, Splinter Cell's gameplay is 100% mindless and 100% on-rails, from the first game to the most recent. I can really appreciate that in Hitman, they give you the option of pursuing the missions how you please. When I beat Splinter Cell 1 and 2, I haven't felt the urge to return to them a single time simply because I know that there's absolutely nothing different lying in wait for me. Yet every time I return to Himan 1, 2, Contracts, and Blood Money - I always find something new or interesting about the missions that I didn't see previously. Chaos Theory is an absolutely awesome game and isn't matched by the Hitman series, but as a whole I think I like the Hitman series more.

And one last thing, I couldn't stand Conviction and couldn't bring myself to play Absolution.

Both are excellent, can't really say that one is better than the other. Sadly both have been completely ruined.

blood money was the only hitman game that i really enjoyed but even in that the stealth mechanics were a little awkward and ungainly and were never really comparable to the stealth mechanics in the first three splinter cell games.

so for me its sc > hitman with chaos theory as the best of the bunch by far (and the best stealth based game of all time imo). it's just a shame that since ct ubi have stripped away a lot of the idiosyncracies that made the games so appealing and taken the series off in a new, more simplified direction

Hitman for me

yep but it's not just ubisoft though unfortunately, most developers seem to be hell bent on stripping away all that made their franchises unique. everything's becoming over simplified to target the lowest common denominator of gamers. its like an industry cancer :cry:

It would be nice to see a renaissance in all these great genres too, but I guess it makes more sense that the RPGs are getting the treatment, with the limited budgets and all. You can still make a great RPG with 2-D graphics, minimal or no VO for instance. I'm sure making a good stealth/tac shooter/horror game requires more $$ though.

Hmm, that is a good one. They are both great game franchises.

Though my personal favorite is Metal Gear, I just love it. Hitman, and Splinter Cell both have some games that really stand out as awesome.

Splinter Cell Chaos theory, and Blood Money are honorable mentions. Though I haven't played the newest Hitman (got it as a gift though)

Even though the last 2 Splinter Cell games have been meh, I still have my eyes on the next.

Lost hope with Ghost Recon, but Rainbow 6 is still some what salvagable. I am curious to see how this next Rainbow six installment turns out.

I am, but what I mean, is that what they are doing with rainbow six patriots, (or whatever it was called) seemed like an interesting take.

Of course I don't expect it to be like RB6 3, or Raven Shield. I am just interested in where that will go.

As far as games like the ones you mentioned, there are a few on kickstarter, and Steam Greenlight that would cover that.

there is this. Haven't followed it much since.

Takedown sounds familiar too. But like I said I haven't followed them much since.

I don't plan on R6 to go back to its roots, but I do expect some rising studio, or indie studio. To at least get a decent one out.

I'm sure something decent will eventually come along, but until then I'll be playing games like Ghost Recon 1, Raven Shield/Rogue Spear, SWAT3/4 and Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis. I can even get into the Brothers in Arms games. What sucks is that I know I won't be able to run Arma 3, as I couldn't play Arma 2 smoothly enough.

Splinter Cell hands down, never was a fan of Hitman, I like adventures and from the little I played of Hitman it's just random progression based on an excuse for a reason AKA story, Splinter Cell however is similar to Max Payne, it tried and succeded in sending me a motive to play the game further, to want to find out what happens next, speaking of which, I should replay Conviction soon, never finished it completely and it'll fill the void from playing Max Payne 3 which is almost identical in design without the flaws.

To put it short, I consider SC's atmosphere and later gameplay as being similar with a series I love(d) Max Payne, Hitman however is almost identical to Bourne, I do not like Bourne at all.

Ahh, I see, I didn't know all that.

Yea I avoid Arma because it does run like crap.

I hope there will be a good tactical shooter, that is disappointing to hear about the Takedown thing.

Swat 4 is something I have considered getting so my GF and I can co-op through it.

Both are excellent, can't really say that one is better than the other. Sadly both have been completely ruined.
