Incredible how they didnt get one single thing from the series.
Garrett didnt steal because he couldnt resist how shiny things were, like a freaking indian monkey. He did it to afford the lifestyle he was accustomed to.

I dream of this game, crashing and burning before release. :cry:

Now i have to go and watch this:

Hahahaha. Holy fuck the combat is bad, so bad. Also, this was just terrible:

Roy: We really respect the DNA of the franchise.

On-screen: Garrett gets 40xp for headshotting a guard with his bow.

Garrett is formenting a rebellion? Fucking hell.

:x

The moving around feels ok but the rest oh god it's a disaster.
First the camera moving from the screen and to 2 guys. Because when i click "thief gameplay demo" i want to see 2 dudes talking hype.:roll:
And one of the guys is dorito man. Him being near Thief is just insulting.
Too many visual effects changing. Reminds of Penumbra where screen would get a blue tint when you crouch. Would be simply the best to return the light gem.
Experience points.:roll:
Combat. Did Garrett just parry with his blackjack? And used slow motion + bow?
:x

Cleary French Garret isn't a fighter, he dies in the third guard already and needs focus to slow time and headshot two guards armed with swords with a BOW at melee range, such weakling !

Watching that video makes me look forward to the standalone Dark Mod.

Probably not what they had in mind.

The two shills trying to sound all excited about the game and failing miserably is just so... appropriate.

Otherwise, the trailer shows off just about every kind of wrong that could happen to Thief, and pretty much nails the coffin shut.

When sneaking a decent thief would keep his hands close to his weapons instead of posing in a Alien-like manner with his hands.

Also the circular menu ... oh wait, I forgot that the PC version is just a console port. So much about the Thief's DNA.

To be honest, the splinter cell gameplay at least looks better than conviction. And splinter cell is popamole since the beggining, so no harm done with this black list, except with ironside voice.

It... actually looks like it could be a decent, fun Thief. If you don't use Focus. And if you try and ghost, pretending that you couldn't actually just kill them all if you wanted. And if you disable the bloody magic highlighting and edge of screen fog effect. And if the AI wasn't so retarded you stab the guy, he turns around, goes hurr durr for 2 seconds THEN gets his dagger out THEN hurr durrs for another 2 seconds before swinging his freaking weapon.

Man, the Doritos man in particular with his dead, fish like eyes had an attitude of: "Okay, I know they paid money to do this but I don't care about this thing and want to end the interview fast." The bald guy was pure marketing speak and had nothing genuine to him, you could notice the lack of passion and detached attitude to Thi4f Popamole Edition like even him wasn't proud about what he was doing. The headshots with a bow at melee distance in slow motion, automatic executions, fighting three guys armed with swords with a blackjack and the guy has the nerve of saying that the French Garret isn't a fighter it is just sad, I'm not sad that Thief died but that this game is going to sell as well as Dishonoured. Both stealth games where you can kill the whole garrison by stoping time and click once on the head of each enemy.

I'm not sure Dishonoured was ever meant to be a stealth game per se.

It was supposed to be a "broad" immersive sim type of game where you could do all sorts of things, stealth among them, much like Deus Ex.
