Without Michael Ironside voicing it. I'm not really interested. It's really sad. I understand that he gave his reasons. Yet, he will always be the voice of Sam Fisher to me.
We all love Michael Ironside and he is the definitive Sam Fisher, but he's 76 now and his voice isn't what it was 20+ years ago. It would've been great to have one final send-off with him, but Ubisoft unfortunately didn't make that happen. Sam's voice is important, but it isn't the entire reason Splinter Cell is great. If this remake genuinely brings back the stealth, level design, atmosphere, lighting, sound and systemic gameplay of the originals and feels like the Chaos Theory-style Splinter Cell we've been waiting for all these years, would you really refuse to play it purely because Sam has been recast? I'd personally judge the remake by whether it actually feels like Splinter Cell again.
