Blacklist is a very successful middle ground between the slower pace of the older games and the faster panther style of Conviction.

And to be fair, Ironside was only absent from Blacklist because, from what I remember, he was diagnosed with cancer around that time. So I don't think it was a matter of Ubisoft not wanting to bring him back to voice Sam. Luckily, he's still with us, and I hope he gets another chance to voice him at some point. The man has helped bring life to an iconic video game character, and it would be a shame if he doesn't get one more chance at the role.

they didn't turn him into a 35 year old because a 74 year old didn't do the voice. It was a direct sequel to Conviction. The voice actor also did the motion capture. Something the 74 year old in poor health wouldn't have been able to do
