Guillaume Dousse, the director of Netflix's animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, can't tell me anything about Ubisoft's Splinter Cell remake.

Sorry, guys. I asked.

"I wish I had something to say, and the security clearance to get this kind of information," Dousse said, laughing a little, when we talked last week about Splinter Cell: Deathwatch—and I tried to wheedle out a little information about the upcoming remake.

"As a gamer, I think just rediscovering the first game as a pure remake, and not just—how do you call that? Just an upscale of resolution?—feels interesting, because I think the first game was so memorable to me," he said.

"I hope that the [Netflix] series will inspire Ubisoft, if they feel that there's something to take from it and build from it… that will be really exciting. I think that's really for the fans, as well, to decide, if this is a version they enjoy. But yeah, I don't know how this series would translate as a game. I would be very curious."

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
