Worse, this is Assassins creed on first person or do you think you will be able to fail and be confused?
The gameplay before what is clearly just a "cinematic" ending to level is different and some technical parts they are talking about are impressive, like glass objects when shattered add more noise when you walk on them, closed doors reduce noise and birds actually flap wings and can give you away if you pass near them. Even weather, like rain, reduces the chance of player being heard. It will be good if the game would actually make you use these little details to play effectively.
Also, resources (like that Focus and health, of course) do not regenerate, which is nice.
What I didn't like are the sweeping move, which they use to pass when almost being looked at by NPC and ability to climb bookcases and the like, which seems OP as noone searches for you there. Magical leaning is in too, as well as free takedowns and powerful stun arrows.
NPC's in video seem too stupid also, as guy backs off safely once when clearly being spotted to just shoot NPC with stun arrow and then blackjack him.
The exploration also seems to rely too much on context actions and various pre-determined events like secrets, sliding doors and that one particular window you are actually allowed to climb, unlike all the other windows building has.

It's certainly going to be the brightest thief yet. Look at that fucking sky. I was expecting them to whitewash everything like in Dishonored but then I remembered that they're two separate games, tee hee.
Hmm...that's not how I recall it, playing the games on an old 14 inch monitor. Thief 1 had functionable graphics in general and poor character models, while Thief 2 improved the character models and was in a higher resolution making things look much sharper and cleaner.

Guard dogs.
In the corner of a balcony at the top of a random building.

Maybe all that territory marking saves them from coding in Rain.

It's probably a good representation of how the new Mirror's Edge game they're working on now is going to be, though

Why's that? I haven't been following ME2 news, pretty odd because I'm a huge fan of the original.

That's probably because you know that it'll be nothing like the original.It's probably a good representation of how the new Mirror's Edge game they're working on now is going to be, though

I also really liked the original, but it didn't sell so well, and this is an EA game we're talking about. They'll want to sell more to a bigger market, which means they'll do as they always do and streamline away all the substance, leaving only flash. I'd love to be wrong, but I won't let myself look forward to the game until I see some gameplay.It's probably a good representation of how the new Mirror's Edge game they're working on now is going to be, though
