Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

"We spent 6 years thinking how can we castrate this corpse, what can we cut off to make it rot."
Come on, Stephane, tell us the truth!

 

[Marquess Cornwallis]

This whole "new Thief" thing makes Fallout 3 look like a slightly misguided but ultimately loveable attempt to revive a classic, made by well-meaning (if slightly creatively handicapped) people who love and respect the original. (Even Arcania at least had the decency to drop the "nameless hero".)

Jesus...this is worse than DmC: Dig my Cojones wuboot. Love interest protege, context-sensitive jumping, popamole stealth mechanics, ditching the excellent fluff of The City for "I Can't Believe It's Not Dishonored!"...what's next, awkward Garret/Baron sex scene(s)? Dubstep soundtrack?

 

[octavius]

Looking forward to 3rd person.

Thiaf will have it, right?!!

It's the only thing missing now.

 

[DalekFlay]

Dubstep soundtrack?

God dammit man, now the credits are destined to be bathed in wub wub.

 

[skacky]

But Thiaf has third person sections.

 

[AlexOfSpades]

Cant wait for the multi-player DLC

Exactly. Quoting myself:

This is gonna turn out to be one of the worst franchise rapes in recent times. I mean even the guys at Bethesda - as much as they fucked Fallout in the ass - tried to emulate some of the key elements from the previous games in their cute, completely hapless and incompetent kind of way (Ron Perlman, the art and feel of the setting, Mutants, Enclave, Brotherhood of Steel, SPECIAL, aimed shots, perks etc.)

I got so fucking mad when I read this post.

Dubstep soundtrack?

God dammit man, now the credits are destined to be bathed in wub wub.

Remember that during the last cutscene in Dark Project, and on different occasions, a modern, industrial music was played?

Yes.

Yes.

I actually liked industrial music from Thief games.
However, 'Assassins', 'A Woman Named Viktoria' (not THAT Viktoria) and 'The Eye' are still my favourites from the unofficial Dark Project soundtrack that is floating around the web.

Hope you'll like the reboot of it as well

The gameplay and story of this heap of discaded viscera makes me wonder why do they still cling to the "Thief" title?
Where's Al-Quaeda when you fucking need them?

They'd probably be playing CoD and learning tactics. Or spamming petards in Age of Empires 2.

We have a new glimpse on the THIAF story.

And the review arrives shortly from the best journo evah:

This game looks epic, The story seems so deep! good stuff

Now it's a D1P for me.

 

[Pika-Cthulhu]

Deep story? Id trade this pile of shit story for deep gameplay/mechanics

 

[JarlFrank]

More like pretentious story thrown in the face of the player.

Thief's story had more depth than that because there were lots of subtleties and the characterization was excellent.

 

[SCO]

No it wasn't. Fan distortion field

It was subtle though (look up this old jtr7 post for instance - there is more i can't find, including a 'mythology' of the setting gleaned from the intro background)

 

[Caim]

Calling it now: Garret's story arc will be the same as Altair's from Assassin's Creed.

 

[J_C]

bla bla story blabla video

First and foremost, thank you for spoiling the story you dumbass! Secondly, I think this was a well presented video, and I must admit, there were good parts in it, I think this story could work. Except that the guy says that Garret only kills as a last resort, yet in the game he will be a killing machine. It is in your face, without any subtlety, yes. But if the gameplay would be great, I would accept this story. Thing is, the gamplay will suck. Fuck.

 

[UndetectedButthurt]

Story so deep so emoshunal investment so mature

 

[DefJam101]

this is a fucking circus

 

[7/10]

OMG GURL GETS KIDNAPPED BY THE BARON AND GARRETT HAS TO SAVE HER, BECAUSE HE HAS EMOTIONAL DEPTH NOW. Also, because he's her father. Kinda like in that other game. The final boss fight is a quicktime event.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

good fucking god my pretentious-meter is off the charts
