Well not only does no Steven Russell indicate a potentially inferior Garrett voice, it also points to a less entertaining Benny voice. Russell was the man behind MANY integral Thiefsie voices. At the mention of Benny I also think of the "dumb" guard - "smart" guard dialogs between Russell and Daniel Thron who voiced "smart" guard, and did the cinematics for Thief.

As with most unnecessary reboots, this one is rapidly shriveling up in my mind.

I wish Levine was interested in making a Thief game.

Not sure why but I really liked that little 'steal the title' bit. Great.

Also I've never played a Thief game.

I like how Square-Enix it still retaining the essence of this series and Deus Ex. Kudos to them.

Again with a sequel that just using the title and no #? This is a new trend isn't it? -_-

No, actually it's an old trend.

This isn't Stephen Russell.

Absolutely nothing about this game so far makes me stoked. The fact that Garrett won't have his iconic voice doesn't help at all. I'm waiting for a gameplay trailer, but so far I don't dig the Dishonored-heavy visuals and the stringy-fucking-looking Garrett, I don't dig the fact that it's a story reboot for a franchise that didn't need one (plague? No Hammerites and Keepers nad Pagans? Basically nothing from one of the best lores in video games?) and I don't even dig the generic-ass logo.

Someone should listen to you and start changing what they're doing

It's not a sequel, it's a continuity reboot.
