Ubisoft showcases non-lethal takedowns in Splinter Cell: Blacklist trailer

Ubisoft has released a new trailer for its upcoming stealth/action game Splinter Cell: Blacklist. The trailer shows examples of all the ways you can take down enemies without being lethal with alpha gameplay footage.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.
