Some newly released gameplay.
God, the writing is so awful… I’m still cringing
They also apparently replaced Taff with actual curse words now.
That annoys me
do we have to have an ‘escape’ phase or can we actually ghost the whole thing without being detected once we take the treasure? I don’t like failure being left up to uncontrollable elements.
Taff those taffing taffers, what the taff were they thinking?!
…for taff’s sake!

I agree. Scripted detection after completing a stealth section flawlessly is just… rude 
There was an interview where one of the devs said that the escape parts were part of the “rhythm” of the game. He used the analogy (paraphrasing) “if I just always give you the ice cream (referring to stealth portions) it would get monotonous”.
Oh man, sounds like Thief 4 is going to be a pile of shit. A lot of people said the same thing about Human Revolution, but HR was actually really good.
Human Revolution, however, didn’t have canned escape triggers when playing stealthy.
PC Gamer interview with a couple of the game’s Devs.
Polygon got hands on time with some levels: https://www.polygon.com/2013/10/10/4823786/thief-dev-says-theyre-past-development-woes
There’s a video. Oh, and they said it’s riddled with bugs and crashes.
That’s because the development was filled with shit happening and the game was made over a couple of times. And they’re using UE3 for God knows what reason and probably not bothering to do more than basic stuff for it to work. The whole development of this game was a giant waste of time and money and the final product will not be worth it. Thief fans are going to hate it and other people aren’t going to care probably. It’ll be just like DmC. I’m fully expecting them to blame the fans for not buying their shitty game.
Square Enix has released a new set of screenshots for THIEF.
lol one of the devs called deadly shadows “dark shadows”
But DMC was reportedly actually good, it just does off color stuff for the narrative that pissed off the initiated.
I haven’t played DmC and don’t have much experience with the series in general but I have heard many people say that the gameplay is quite different from the other games in the series. And not in a good way.
Yeah, but you do know what western fans of eastern games are like.
fucking scumbags.
I resent that implication! DMC3 was excellent and Dante’s character really didn’t need changing. You’d think Capcom would have taken the hint from the fan backlash to 2…
I could bear with a shitty thief game just for the sake of it being a thief game. But without Stephen Russel… I feel like this whole game was a complete waste. It’s not a Thief game without him. The new guy says shit the real Garrett would never say. It just doesn’t feel like the same character. “I am the shadows, I am the night!” The real Garrett would never say stupid shit like that. Anyhow… I’m a huge fan of this series, and this hurts my soul.
You realise that’s down to the script, not the actor, right?
use the approach i did with the new splinter cell sam fisher being a total brofessional ninja agent instead of a creaky old man, just pretend it’s a new character in the same universe, like a student wanna-be of the old one.
