Thief

Anyone getting excited for the new Thief game about to be released? A lot of hardcore fans of the originals I heard haven't been totally impressed and think it'll just be a different version of Dishonored, but I trust Arkane to deliver. I think it'll be cool considering the replay-ability in the adjustment of the difficulty to things like death on sight, death in one hit, loud footsteps, no checkpoints(I think that is an option), etc. Last I heard nobody on their crew had actually been able to beat the entire game with all difficulty settings on, but who knows now. In any case, its one of the few games that has got me pumped this year.

Hell Yeah! I played all the old Thief games, the original is still a classic! Hope I can scrape the cash together to get it next week!

i did the shitty thing of pre-ordering it so it better be the single best thief game of all time. but, they got a new voice-actor which saddens me very much

Yes that does suck about changing voice actors, the old Garrett's commentary was so appealing.

I never played any of the old Thief games so I cannot really compare, but it looked like a decent game on its own to me.

You should at least pick up the first Thief, it was a pretty groundbreaking game from Looking Glass Studios that also created System Shock 2. Its a shame the studio went out of business, they created some of the most innovative games of the time.

thief 2 is like the crowning glory of the series so far though. to get the dark project past the publishers they had to add some stuff that kinda annoys you (fucking zombies, why?) but the metal age (the second one) has a lot less of that and more of the sneaky shit. they're both still stellar games though. except thief: deadly shadows. we don't really talk about that one (it's not that bad, but it's like going from fine port to a rough and ready moonshine brewed in a corpse)
