    Remember liking the second one back in the day. I have to say i really dislike the look of the character, seems a bit overdesigned.

    Pretty excited about this. Curious to see if the game is following the story from Deadly Shadows or if its a soft reboot of the franchise.

    Also it looks like the art design has been overhauled. I guess that is a good thing...

    For the love of God Patrick, don't play Deadly Shadows. Play Thief 1 and 2 first. They're masterpieces, and they have their share of horror elements too.

    @haggis said:

    So I'm all positive about the game, then I see this over at Gamespot:

    "...the City is broiling with social tension as it is ravaged by a plague..."

    Okay, okay, let's hope they're not stealing (thieving?) too much from Dishonored. But this sort of thing starts to make me worry.

    It's not exactly an original concept and Dishonored doesn't own it. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a zombie-like plague mentioned in Thief 1, and you even go into a part of town that was closed off and quarantined because of it.

    Sound familiar?

    As someone who never played the original Deus Ex and only played Invisible War, the hate for the game is crazy to me. I mean, I get why it was crapped on, but it's still a fantastic game with great atmosphere.

    Water arrows. Buy them all. Also Garrets voice actor, Stephen Russell, is pretty good. I was happy to see him in recent Bethesda games like Skyrim and Fallout 3. Hopefully he will return for this project as well.

    Call me a cynical piece of shit, but I have a feeling people are going to be disappointed with this game. Something along the lines of "water downed action ruining their favorite franchise." Not that I want it to be a bad game. I hope it turns out awesome and people get the kind of stealth game they want.

    @pbhawks45: Why would you not play the original? There's no way you could understand the perspective people had on Invisible War without doing so. And if you thought IW was "fantastic", then why wouldn't you want to play the original as well? Especially with the way gamers are constantly beating you over the head calling it one of the best games of all time. Is that not enough incentive? Well, here's some more:

    I love thief! Thief 2 is my favourite game ever and Thief deadly shadows is the most important game of my young gameplaying life.

    If theres any franchise I care deeply enough about to have an unreasonable reaction over the quality of a new game, it's thief.

    I always have mixed feelings about unearthing venerable, beloved franchises.

    Thief TDP, and II was what it was because of Looking Glass Studios, that right there turns me off of other developers getting involved.

    I don't expect publishers to care about that, and so I do not get too excited when they bring back "classic" franchises. People are excited about Eidos being involved but they were only the publisher of the original games.

    Now speaking of the Cradle, Shalebridge Cradle that is, the level is a mind fuck of unheard of proportions. What you hear about the level is scarier than the level itself, B U T that is the point, and the level W I L L scare and unnerve the crap out of you if you get to it.

    It is very far along in the game, and Thief:Deadly Shadows is not the best representation of the franchise.

    I have an erection right now. I don't dig Garrett's design at all and the lack of Eric Brosius behind the music saddens me, but as long as the game reminds me of old times and Stephen Russell is behind the snark, I couldn't be in more.

    I've never understood the hate for DS. It wasn't the same as the first two, but fine for a person looking for a quick intro into the series who doesn't appreciate older games (even though it shows its age). All three games bring something to the table. Not sure if it's just the passage of time, but it does feel like DS could have used a bit more polish. Or maybe it's just the restrictions of the tech at the time. Putting the fence locations in separate zones, with no shortcuts between...yeah. That part really sucked. But on the other hand, that one part where the game actually lets you on rooftops, you're being hunted and you can hear them mind-talk about you and your location? Pretty good. Especially when you lead them into a faction controlled area that's friendly to you. Mwahaha. Anyway. That game had some flaws, but some pretty good parts too. And the fucking Cradle. But for sure, if one can get past the fact that it is damn old, the first game is pretty good. Best story of all three. Time to jump back into the whole series I think.

    The bit about the plague is from DS, where the docks are closed off because of a zombie infested ship. Unless something like that was also in the first one. Anyway. I hope the Keepers are there in this version, but that description makes me wonder. Wasn't it their job to keep the balance of power in the City? The various factions and the City itself had so much character, it would be a shame if that wasn't preserved.
