Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

[racofer]

JarlFrank's post can be replaced by a simple phrase:

It's shit.

 

[Delterius]

Nah, its 'good for what it is'.

 

[Lancehead]

We don't know that. I have doubts they can make a good Dishonoured-Assassin's Creed mix they seem to be going for.

 

[Telengard]

Yeah, well... no.

Garrett's face is rarely seen example (well until Deadly Shadows came with camera rotation but even then it's not crystal clear) so i can somewhat understand giving him mask to keep the legacy of hidden face, but ... this won't work.

That picture. Last night, it came to me. For the reboot, they said they're toning down the supernatural content, sure. But I realized that what they mean is, they're going to remove the old supernatural lore, so that they can replace it with their own supernatural lore. Goth, pale skin, way too much black eyeshadow (which is any), black nails, leather fetish - it all fits. The Keepers are going to be vampires, and the new Garrett is going to be the vampiriest vampire of them all. But they're not going to be just regular vampires, either, no they're Edwardian vampires.

Flaw in the story: The original Garrettina is still there. The pimp brought in a imposter Garrettina.

True, a better analogy would be the pimp bringing in a new "reimagined" Garrettina whom he claims is just like the old one, but in fact has nothing in common with her. While the fans still stick to the old one, who has aged a little - she's not in her 20s anymore but her mid-30s - but is still the very best in her particular fetish, and no other has surpassed her yet. Also there is one quite passable new girl in the brothels called Corvette, she also keeps flashing her tits in your face all the time but she at least knows what she's doing and has some style. Also there's a woman among the fanbase who's offering great service for free, everyone just calls her the Dark Whore due to her preference for black corsets, black skirts and black toenail polish. She's almost as good as Garrettina but still a little rough around the edges, but with enough practice she'll probably reach the same quality one day. Both have that very particular feminine foot odour that the fans crave, while the mainstream bitches' feet all just smell like generic soap cause they wash all the taste away for greater mainstream compatibility.

Is Otto, in fact, JarlFrank?

o_O You ok there bro?

I was drunk and it was late at night.

Boy or girl?

The French... the french never changes.

 

[skacky]

French Canadians, they're a degenerate version of us who are more fluent in French than us.
So looks like GI are putting together a podcast in the near future with a FAQ with the developers. Some of the questions asked in the comments section are hilarious.

Why are you ruining this game and catering to a casual/console audience?

 

[DeepOcean]

Here you go: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/03/19/ask-us-your-thief-questions.aspx

Why I have the impression that they are going to ask only the harmless/retarded questions?

 

[DeepOcean]

Are they more hipster and liberal than the french?

Surprised that most of them seem to come from Thief fans who'd like the game to stay as true to the originals as possible.

Eidos are so going to burn themselves on this one.

Yup I was surprised of that as well. One person on page 2 (I think) asks a lot of relevant questions.

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

Say I've never played a stealthy game before, will Thief be accommodating to players like me?

Why are you ruining this game and catering to a casual/console audience?

Oooh, can't wait for Trickster DLC! Become the ultimate thief and manage new gadgets such as water arrow!

No doubt they will pick their own questions with which they're comfortable with.

C

an you steal your prize in different ways, or do you have to walk up to it and pick it up every time?

don't worry you can pick them with your explosions or use them for finisher killmoves as well!

 

[Jaesun]

If people were not direct trolls, they should really ask very specific questions on mechanics they are dumbing down and and their reason for this.

I have one question. Y U NO PUT ON WII U?!

Will there be any form of upgrading or enhancing Garret's equipment, like say a bow with longer reach or more silent footwear?

how is this different than dishonored and skyrim?

Will platforming be a large part of the game? If so, will it have a dedicated control system for traversing the environment?

New to the series... So what's up with Garrett's smoking eye?

If you read I believe one of the first sections of the cover story it explains it. In short, in one of the previous entries Garret had his taken away and replaced with the eye you see. It was like a prototype so you can see through walls and stuff.​

I am wondering if the world will be an open world or have open sections like Deus Ex?

Also can we change Garretts's outfit?

I see the game is on PC, does this mean it is on steam? If so will it have any pre-order bonuses?

Is there any multiplayer?

How does the lock picking system work?

Will the game have a multi-player aspect?

Will the game have new game plus, and if so, how will it be implemented? Will the inevitably DLC be more along the lines of Missing Link (if so, YAY) or Explosive Mission Pack (if so, mehhhhhhhhh)? Will the game have a challenge mode? Expanding upon the challenge mode, could we have ones for stealth and combat? Will the story branch at all? Will you try to dodge the morality foibles that Dishonored had? Will there be any attempts to revitalize abandoned ideas from earlier entries in the series?

:/

Ben loves the Thief games. At least the first two. He prefers 2 over 1/Gold because he can't knock out the Undead.

No surprise. He is a dumbfuck

Your opinion, what little I knew him made him come off more as a stroppy git.

Also, dumbfucks can't make 5 Days A Stranger, which is a decent horror adventure.

 

[dnf]

Game devs can be a lot dumbfuck in their opinions if you ask me.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

True, but I still think you're a little too harsh on him.
