Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

I can just imagine watching them play the Bonehoard. Dropping into the underground, uncharted tunnels and getting raped by those things that spit the acid. That would be remarkably funny to see.

 

I don't know, I think he can still make something good close to Shock 2 if he didn't have to sell games to large audiences.

 

Back in the days pedestrians weren't enfranchised to influence culture and be taken into consideration with uninformed opinions and ignorance of some basic rules. It was just so much better.

 

Garrett, the master thief? more like the master chief.

 

David Gaydar? serious, how decline got Thief workers?

 

Is that gel or the cum of consoletards and game journalists in his hair?

 

So the developers basically looked at Hitman Absolution and said 'hey, there's a decent franchise that got fucked up for the lulz, let's do the same with another franchise.'

Seriously, they're ripping out everything that made Thief a good game. I fail to believe it's anything but a very expensive attempt at trolling, because certainly nobody can be retarded enough to rip out the features that make a game great.

 

Welcome to 2000+ where every games greatest asset is action gameplay and over 9000 cutscenes!(with QTEs)

 

In the upcoming AAA blockbuster GOTY "Robber (tm)" you play the role of master-thief/robber Gerald, who goes about stealing everything in sight in the seedy, grimy city only known as "The Town" (potentially replace with "The Metropolis" to sound more epic). In a Victorian-inspired steampunk setting filled with decadent nobles, corrupt police and religious zealots called "The Wrenchites", he sets out to seek the satisfaction of a heist well done. But there are evils hidden in the dark underbelly of The Town/Metropolis (tm) that threaten not just Gerald, but the entire city. Will he prevail in the face of this ancient evil?

There. New IP. They are anyway changing everything that made Thief what it was, they can just as well change the last few remaining things (the names).

 

Weren't some people (sorry, "people") playing press demo of Dishonored just standing there going because the guards told them to not go upstairs so they didn't?

Seriously, some people out there are only good for a landfill.

 

Saw this and had a sperg moment

so I went for ddfix instead.

 

Heh, apprently there's a new version of NewDark that just popped-in (like not even an hour ago): http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141028&p=2171103#post2171103
While I never experienced it, they fixed the bug with the crates.

 

Don't know what those changes are, but from this sentence here:

I assume that they are probably nothing major, 'cept for Spergies. I'll use the new patch for now.

 

FINALLY. I was waiting for this, downloading taffer patcher as soon as it becomes available.

 

I would like to share your optimism JarlFrank but how many FPS kickstarters did we seen? Only Tacticool Shooter by a Halo guy (roffles) and Ravaged (which seems to be decent multiplayer game, but has no campaign in single). Other than that I saw bad, and very bad : clone of DayZ wannabe (not funded), PVP games with generic soldiers and/or zombies, Interstellar Marines and that's it. If people could make a team of programmers which would try to copy some old FPS-es, I would gladly point to them. But right now it's like abandoned genre. When you don't see something in veins of Blood, Doom or Duke Nukem, how they would kickstart a game with sneaking mechanics. And of course make it more complicated.

Yes, focus testing revealed that the game is too complicated. This thing butchered the gameplay of Bioshock, if I remember correctly.

 

There was Sir You Are Being Hunted (I'm not sure if this is first or 3rd person), and Consortium (which failed pretty hard).

 

"A Thief-style visibility-meter combined with our own foliage-based stealth system." I heard about it, but of course forgot to mention .

Funny thing about Consortium video pitch, that they had a t-shirt with Amen:The Awakening. The Fps/Rpg mix with stealth mechanics by Cavedog was too big and ambitious at the time.

 

Sir You Are Being Hunted is first person. Also funded with most stretch goals.

 

I didn't pay too much attention to it because the shameless self promotion on RPS turned me off. It does look interesting though.

 

They might as well make this game a porno. That way at least we can also see our beloved franchise getting fucked, not just experience it.

 

Brazzers don't even make good porno

 

It's not like Eidos makes good games.
