Please be good, please be good...

Can't wait for this, gonna be on the next gen consoles so least will look the part - just hope its more like the first 2 than the 3rd. Shame Garrett's voice isn't the same...


Official E3 trailer

EDIT: E3 Trailer and interviews/walkthroughs

Been meaning to update this and now with E3 over it makes sense to :)

Official E3 trailer

As an archer, I really wish that bow existed and was working, be rather epic :D

Gamespots E3 interview

Ill watch more of the E3 coverage and see whats relevant, theres a few bits and pieces on GT, but prefer to just stick YT videos here...

Gonna be something that could have a lot of potential one way or another. I do hope with Dishonored out last year that this picks up the same interest...

Just been watching some vids and yep looks like its first person view only :D, theres some third person stuff but mostly to do with set pieces it seems.

Still not sure if it really needed a reboot, guess its the story that really matters...

Also its also heading on to PS3 and X360 too - all launching at the same time!

Another E3 video this time from IGN - same demo level, just an alternative route at the end so least it doesnt appear to be that linear, hope the areas are as big as Thief 2

EDIT2: New October trailer and EGX developer session
ps3ud0 said:
New trailer - looks nice, but feels very alien compared to old Thief to me. Dont like the new voice at all :(

And if anyones interested heres the Eurogamer Expo developer session
Skip to 7mins to when it starts...

EDIT3: Review and Scores
ps3ud0 said:
From what Ive read/seen of the reviews, this game is best played on Master, Focus and the Objective marker off. The AI arent going to be much better (they spot you quicker/easier but still give up the chase sooner than expected) and Garrett seems to be far more capable at dispatching enemies when need be, than necessarily avoiding them.

Definitely need to tailor the game to get the best out of it...

EDIT: I might actually buy this purely because of the effort put into the custom difficultly menu, its pretty damn epic...

Really recommend the above while considering what the reviews say...

Hoping that means its first person, just works so much better for stealth with such a restriction, wonder if theyll steal something like B:AA detective mode for picking locks or something

I absolutely adored this series, 1 and 2 that is, never really played deadly shadows, but heard bad things.

Saying that my friend at work says it was good, so I'm tempted to give it a shot
 
What, bad things about deadly shadows??

Its considered a classic! Definetely no bad things said about that one.
 
lets hope PC is lead platform.

pc gets best possible experience, consoles get best possible experience. no excuse not to with ps4's PC architecture.

Its good, but I think it made a few compromises to move over to consoles, like being third person while the first two were first person and far better for it, or the hub world whereas the first two felt far 'bigger' and seperate levels felt like they were all in the same city. It just tinkered with stuff that really didnt need to be tinkered with...

It has a great level as opposed to being a great game IMO

Just to confirm, Deadly Shadows could be played in either 1st or 3rd person perspective, at least on the PC anyway - so don't be put off playing it. If you grab it for PC be sure to download the fan made texture packs; they totally transform the look.

Deadly Shadows felt a lot like Deus Ex 2 imo, but not a bad thing, I personally thought it deserved the 'Thief' title :) And the Orphange level was almost on par with the church one from Thief one (I forget the name - in the old city) for putting the willies up you!
 
Oh I know you could, just dont think 3rd person personally made the game better (still confused why the option got added - think it was au fait at the time due to Splinter Cell), I just think stealth works better if the player isnt omnipotent regards his surroundings...

The thing that made Thief for me was not knowing 100% if you were completely covered, can imagine first person with todays AI and lighting effects being far better at redescribing that 'panic' you felt moving from shadow to shadow trying to attempt a no knockdown level pass.

Ive not played Deus Ex 2 so not sure of the comparison - youve made me wonder if I can get these all on Steam (still not ever tried Thief Gold) [EDIT: Ooo yes you can - already had the third though] - I lost the game CDs but I swear I still have the Thief 2 box somewhere :p

Thief Gold... That brings back even more memories, think a fellow fan posted me a copy from the States; at the time I was part of a Yahoo group called "Taffers", which started from a web site called Thief The Site Maker - I used go there when I was teaching myself DromEd - the editor used for Thief :) Happy times.
 
Anyone know what engine they're using for this? I assume their own in-house one.

Looks good, the Thief games were fantastic but of course I'll play it on PC :p
 
I just grabbed thief 3: Deadly shadows from Windows Live Marketplace, £9.99. Yeah i could have got it cheaper, but not as quickly while laying in bed I'm sure :p

been told to grab some texture pack, so thats my next point of call.
