Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

[Rahdulan]

Dubstep in a Thief trailer, I think we've reached a new low:



P.S: I think TDM's standalone release deserves a thread of its own.

I need to get out.

No shit, Sherlock. Keep pointing out the obvious, I really need it because I apparently can't think for myself.

Trailer that focuses only on the first mission? I'm worried that they will fall to a "front load everything syndrome" that heavily marketed games can have where they will put all their work in the first mission so the player's first impressions will be good but the rest of the game will turn out to be average.

Holy crap this is so bad. In other news there are several recent previews that are not particularly enthusiastic about the game. When players and reviewers alike think your game is meh, especially when it has an AAA budget and spent so much time in development hell you gotta ask yourself some questions.

 

[Whisky]

I actually avoid this topic because of how much of a disaster this looks to be, and not in a HUHLARIOUS way like we'd gather around like vultures around the latest Bioware release, but because this is shitting on something I hold in such high regard. I actually feel a little depressed when reading this topic.

Dubstep, agh.

Subtle robbery, what with the building burning and collapsing. "Crossing the bridge is going to be tricky" when the bridge is on fire...it's like they had to give the VA some work.

Meanwhile in Mexico...
Bosso: Garrot! Fucka el govierno!
Garrot: Fucka el govierno! Stola alla loota!
Bosso: Jalla bre, Garroto la boy!
Crows: (chanting) Fucka el govierno!

(piano starts playing, Garrot runs around on the street, screaming 'Fuck the police')

When he made the jump over the chasm at the end i knew he was going to make it simply because of a slowdown. If there were none i might even be scared (think about when you make the jump in an actual game and you are worried if you will make it). Seriously the slowmo can take the thrill out of anything.

Pretty much, even in movies. It just doesn't make any sense to use anymore aside from KOOL FACTOR.

 

[Morgoth]

Slo-Mo jumps. Check.
Wub wub music. Check.
Arrogant emasculated protagonist. Check.
Cinematic stages and cutscenes. Check.

Everybody wants to be a fucking Hollywood director these days.

Nothing exploded in this trailer, so it's not all bad.

 

[Gakkone]

So it still looks like shit. What a shocker.

 

[SmartCheetah]

I still wonder why the hell they named this shit "Thief" when it's clearly so far from the original games. They could have went with some kind of other name. Rogue, Burglar, Nigger-simulator, Master Thief. Everything.

 

[7/10]

So people buy it?

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Hey, they are just trying to attract attention. When newfags hear 'a classic', they must have a boner, right? Right?
Wrong.

Well, interesting. You get my meaning.

*Shaky Cam*

*Dubstep Soundtrack with some Epic Music mixed*

*Slow Motion during climax of trailer*

*Monologue that ends with a clever punchline*

aka every game trailer cliché EVER, all shoved into a single video

Edit: also, explosions

The few times I bother to look at game trailers they always look more like movie trailers. If you pause the movie you may be lucky to catch a few frames of actual gameplay.

Holy shit.

To be fair and keep it real, any "truly" bitter people are a tiny minority surely.

Hopefully they'll keep telling themselves that after Squeenix whines about its sales.

 

[SmartCheetah]

Yeah, surely a tiny minority. "Truly" as fuck. Lets all be honest guys, all dem Thief vets went full retardo and degraded themselves to mindless morons who like to watch fancy cutscenes. Oh mother Viktoria, you're so right!
