Garrett the Thief Is Hella Thievin' in the Latest Thief Trailer

I can't wait for this game to come out. Feels like it's taking forever.

Brought to you by Monaco: What's Yours is Mine.

What have they done to you Garrett.

Its really sad to see the ruination of something you love.

This game looks sooooo bland from the trailers. Doesn't help that more or less everyone who has touched the game says it plays like shit (to be fair, they've had some time to improve it since then). I absolutely love the old Thief games, but I remain highly sceptical of this one.

OOOOOOKAY, good going on completely killing my interest in this game.

I don't know how I feel about this game, but I do know how I feel about this action movie-style cut of trailer.

I don't like it.

Damn it Eve! Adam told you not to go and try to steal that evil gem that all those occultist loved so much.

I was feeling ok with everything until they introduced a monster element. True, the original Thief had monsters and crap, but they were a lame addition. The voice acting seems to be quite well done, I only hope that the writing makes good use that aspect. Definitely a wait and see at this point, but I and still hoping for something competent and entertaining.

Oh great, an exclusive Android app only available through a pre-order... what?

(And no iOS, that's odd)

the fuck did I just watch? That's not Thief, that's not Garrett.

Did they change Garrett's voice actor? Sadness.

Oh man! An exclusive app? Wow! I'm gonna preorder this right now! Can't wait for all that fun business! I'm gonna be so exclusive

Edit: I love it when a Trailer starts with some random person dying. Oh NO! Erin died? NOT ERIN! Oh and finally Garrett stopped being a lonewolf and brought a compagnion with him, just as everybody always wanted. Now he just needs a wacky sidekick and this'll be the best Thief game ever

Yeah, this looks hella bad.

Do you have a reference for this, or you just going off the fact that he arrows a dude in the trailer?

Remember when people thought Thief 3 was a bad game? (It wasn't)

Man, I remember when I was excited about this :/ Every new trailers looks worse and worse and worse and worse

@august: It's what I've heard people say, but looking it up, it seems like there might be both a hook AND a rope arrow, my bad, I'll delete the first post.

@renzu: But the reasoning behind it is awful, why would they have to show Garret!? It's a first person game, you can't see him!

Yeah, Thief 3 ain't bad. I think the main criticism leveled at it was that their development priority was for the console version. This meant that the UI and size of game play areas for the PC version suffered as a result. I found it annoying that the engine was designed in such a way (because of the memory limitations of the original X-Box) that it could not load an entire level in one go. It was often split into two or more chunks.

I am glad that this is a canonical sequel to the previous trilogy. I hope they don't force a lot of combat later into the game. That was always when Thief games got boring to me. I love the first two but man...when they want you to fight I wanted to just turn the games off.

@amyggen You said one thing that sort of set me off: "in the highest difficulty". In the base game you could kill all you wanted to as long as you hid the bodies out of another patrolling guards path. The games still wanted you to fight a lot. Hell, the last half of the first Thief game had you either running away or fighting demon creatures, so lets not act like combat in a Thief game is weird or something. Perhaps we should just a product when its actually released and you play it?

I'm not sure what audience they think they're going to capture with this. The homogeneous AAA market claims another victim, I suppose.

I see a lot of people saying this - how so? I think Garrett looks odd physically, like thats not exactly how I remember the character looking, and the "sneaking" suit looks a bit iffy - but considering that probably for the majority I won't see my face nor most of my body that isn't a huge issue. Is everyone complaining about this game having a story now? Because thats a good thing. Or is it the whole occult business? Cause that was always there as well - even more so in Deadly Shadows where you got those awesome runes near the end. Not to mention how crazy and intense the end of that game got overall, hiding around town with those creepy ass wraiths whispering your name in your mind?

I hope the gameplay doesn't end up being shit, because all this whinging is completely over the top. This is modern feeling trailer, yes, but it's clearly evocative of the Thief world. It might be an overly dramatic, action-heavy video but at least visually it seems exactly what I'd expect extrapolating from the last game up to today's tech. Urgh... gamer fans are the worst...

As someone who hasn't played a thief before, this looks potentially okay?

I don't know. I just don't see the terribleness you guys see. The voice acting seems fine

Game itself looks terrific, but this trailer looks terrible.

I think they game looks fine if a little bland, people love to complain about stuff they've never touched.

@cybertification: Yeah, it's sad they can't stick to the hybrid shadowplay aesthetics of the previous games' cutscenes. They instead have to sacrifice Garrett on the altar of motion-captured, triple-A derpness that nobody asked for, because... because...

I dunno. Just so it can look like other games, I suppose. The nail that sticks up must be hammered down.

I can't wait! I'm pre-ordering now!

An Ancient Evil Awakens

I don't see what y'all are complaining about

Oh no! What'll we do??

I honestly couldn't make it through this trailer. The density of cliched action movie melodrama was too great.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that this looks absolutely fine. I played the hell out of past Thief games and nothing about these trailers screams bad the way the press does.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I'm looking forward to it either way.

How does this keep happening. How do people get together and go "you know what was keeping all the previous Thief games back? All that personality"

Looked pretty cool. I've heard bad things about the last build of this game back in E3, hoping it's gotten better.

This better be an actual stealth game i swear to fucking christ. :/

I'm in. Story could be meh but I betcha this shit is fun.

"i'm no savior" = "I didn't ask for this."

@foolishchaos: do yourself a favor and play thief 2. It's worth playing.

So I saw all these negative comments and watched the trailer expecting it to be crap but...it looks fine to me. Sure there's typical action movie music playing and the spunky girl sidekick will probably be annoying, but the gameplay, the setting, even Garret's voice all seem pretty much like old Thief to me. My only fear is the levels will be more linear, set piece CoD/Uncharted than the old sanbox Thief games were.

Garrett is Batman

just remember to circle strafe and you'll be fine.

All this needs is for Garret to slow walk from an explosion without looking behind him.

Is that lady suppose to be a grownup version of the pickpocket orphan girl from the end of Deadly Shadows?
