The developers also talk about the camera and how different situations could change the camera, such as having drops of water when it rains.The developers talk about light and how it plays a big role in the game. Light and darkness are important things for games in the Splinter Cell series, as much of the game revolves around avoiding or destroying light to stay hidden.Earlier this month, Ubisoft had released a trailer that shows some of the non-lethal takedowns that are possible in the game. The developers are focusing on fluid animations to show that the protagonist Sam Fisher has a move for every situation he could find himself in. The game is set to have more than 90 moves, according to the developers. The game will also have non-lethal takedowns for situations where he has been spotted, so he can get more violent with the takedowns.The game, based heavily on the world created by Tom Clancy, writer of books based on espionage stories, puts you into the shoes of NSA (National Security Agency) operative Sam Fisher. The next game in the series, titled Splinter Cell: Blacklist, was announced earlier this year during E3. Ubisoft had released some information about the story of the game, along with a trailer that showed off some gameplay in Blacklist.
