There’s a new trailer doing the rounds for Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

Entirely CG and completely ace, the vid shows Fisher zipping around doing his thing. The best bit is when he inverse rappels down a building and silently clips a grenade to a bloke standing in a window. Oh and the cute little robo greande spy thing too. That looked cool.

It's a short version of the trailer released during E3, which you can watch here.

So that's all lovely then. But the trouble is, the game itself isn't quite so encouraging. Rich previewed it at E3 and said, “Blacklist just doesn't feel like Splinter Cell at present. Perhaps our fears will be allayed when we get the chance to go hands-on with the game.” Ouch. You can read the full preview here.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is due in Spring 2013.
