Tom Clancy And His Games

Splinter Cell Master Tom Clancy is a PS2.IGN article, taking a look at the writer's involvement and contributions to the videogames that bear his name. Instead of Ubi Soft just cashing in with the Tom Clancy name, Clancy is actually involved when it comes to the production of these games. Here's a snip

"Tom Clancy is involved at every level of development," said Domitille Doat, producer of the PS2 version of Splinter Cell. "First, he must approve the concept. Then he checks regularly to see that the game is developing in a way that is consistent with his vision and brand. Finally, he sees the finished product and gives us the thumbs up. We view the Tom Clancy name on a game as a 'seal of quality.' The player will know that the concept and story stick together and are tight from the beginning to the end."
