suprememodder 11 Posted October 6, 2013 confirmed red flags: crossbow-trendy game weapon. only unoriginal, cookie cutter games follow trends. voice actor replacement-every single time the voice actor gets canned, the series suffers. hitman absolution most recent example. "cant see shit" levels of darkness. hard to say as some games genuinely need darkness. in this case, it looks like it's meant to cover up bland textures and appeal to hipsters who think black everything is edgy and cool.

Lenyoga 326 Posted October 10, 2013 Yeargh! The Dark Mod Page isn't loading... probably too many thiefs trying to download it right now. And about the trailer and the new game... I think the very first words of the linked article pretty much say everything "So, Garrett is a ninja that lives in a clock tower now. I’m not sure how I feel about that."

Lenyoga 326 Posted October 10, 2013 Torrent link in the video description. Thanks! Now, I think that'll be the real successor of the Thief games... what I hear from the video, they even got the sound design right - another aspect the new "Thief" seems to lack.

Lenyoga 326 Posted January 25, 2014 Well there goes my interest for that game... So, now it's a linear, stealth-themed adventure taking place in a generic Victorian setting, taking the player by the hand so he/she doesn't die too often and the enemies, trained, equipped guardsmen, are easy to defeat in single combat? That pretty much takes away everything that made Thief interesting, even the sound work is now rather unremarkable. I'm sticking with the Dark Mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblackrupert 14 Posted January 25, 2014 Thief died with Deadly shadows. This one looks even worse, but nothing surprising from Ubisucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sudayev 27 Posted January 26, 2014 Chill... Controversial "focus mode" and object highlighting CAN BE DISABLED. I'm glad they ditched quick time events! Choosing different actor than original Garret's voice by Stephen Russel was rather bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brain 12 Posted February 4, 2014 It's a nice game, but not Thief. Argh, Christ...who am I kidding. It sucks. It's another series destroyed by Ubisoft in order to sell copies to 12 year old kids and casual gamers. Just what happened to Ghost Recon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 28 Posted February 5, 2014 Actually I'd say in the last video it's looking really good: And apparently there's lots of stuff you can tweak in terms of difficulty and onscreen icons etc. etc. Haven't watched that one yet but definitely happier with my £19.80 purchase from GMG after seeing the first video!

Tonci87 163 Posted February 5, 2014 Well I think I´ll trust people who actually played it than a carefully crafted trailer.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lenyoga 326 Posted February 5, 2014 I'd be happier if they'd call it Dishonored 2. The whole setup feels a bit off for the series, it's like he's the big huge master thief everyone on the streets knows, who's already destined to be the savior from the beginning, instead of just being a guy who wants to earn his living without having to do one of those shabby, low-wage day to day jobs (I guess being in the hero by destiny role is more relatable for a broader audience). The whole atmosphere and art style is more like a darker Dishonored than Thief, Victorian Steampunk instead of the more original style (I guess Steampunk is more relatable for a broader audience) But the thing that hurts me most is the sound design - it's just all Hans Zimmerish in the trailers (I guess grand orchestral score is more relatable for a broader audience), I just hope they manage to retain Brosius' ambient style throughout the game. Other than that, I don't think it's ruining the series. It's not like they're destroying all copies of the older installments, they're still there and playable for people who don't like. The Builder be praised, it's not forced down anyone's throat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblackrupert 14 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Looks totally like they are trying to be Dishonored. The 101 trailer also appears to hint at Zombies being an enemy. :rolleyes: The whole line that you can approach things from any direction you like is compete bull$#%, you can tell from the videos and the limited gameplay videos out there it's completely linear.

Tonci87 163 Posted February 6, 2014 And don´t forget the AI. Such a game is nothing without good AI. Sadly the AI in this game seems to be half blind and deaf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krycek 349 Posted February 6, 2014 Looks totally like they are trying to be Dishonored. I said the same thing,this screamed Dishonored everywhere you looked,but the funny part is that Thief 4 was first announced in 2009 while Dishonored was in 2011. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they didn't really finish their concepts and ideas in the first few years ... and then picked up on the whole Dishonored thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bangtail 0 Posted February 6, 2014 Dishonored is a game that will be incredibly hard to beat. It was nothing short of a masterpiece imho. I doubt Thief will be anywhere near as good but there is always room for a surprise I guess (although I remain skeptical). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HKFlash 9 Posted February 13, 2014 Thief is much much older than Dishonored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
