Thief 4 (now just called Thief) screenshots and art











from here http://vk.com/album-49981920_170847341

It's for pc and ps4 so far.

Quote:
Series hero Garrett returns to the Gothic, industrial metropolis known simply as the City to steal any and everything that will make him richer. Unfortunately, the City is broiling with social tension as it is ravaged by a plague and lorded over by a political tyrant known as the Baron. In order to survive his adventures, Garrett will have to pay attention to his environment and make use of the may possible paths through each of the game’s levels.


Plague, that sounds familiar.

I was hoping the main guy would be the girl from the end of the last game or something, instead of just garrett again, younger, faster, rebooted into a ninja etc.

Thief was always steampunk in a loose sense of the term

But don't worry, this already looks and sounds really dumb

How are they any worse than the steampunk affectations in Thief 1 and 2?

What I'm dreading is the talk about giving Garrett magical powers and shit. Please don't make another Dishonored.

Basically what costel said

Sure, Thief 1 and 2 had antiquated fantasy technology but it didn't have people in pseudo-victorian outfits visiting pseudo victorian brothels in screenshots that looked traced over from dishonored.

When in truth, there should be a dry-gulching shove variant. It would be nice to see a greater sense of self applied to the title though, with intuitive structure in regards to Garret's movements.

I personally don't have any problem with the victorian art direction but yeah, if this game used the nerd-adopted flavor of steampunk aesthetic that would be pretty horrible.

"There are those that believe the perfect heist lies in the preparation. I say FUCK that shit I'mma run up in there with a grenade."

I think they could of saved themselves a lot of trouble if they just made their own protagonist, instead of a guy named garrett who doesn't look or act like garrett and sounds like every other Joe Uncharted or Joe Bioshock dude out there. And all the time saved not making videos promising to be true to the spirit of the series and the character could of been spent on coming up with their own thing instead of some halfassed compromised reboot/imitation thing that just makes nobody happy. The old games made it as easy as possible for them, they finished garrett's story and introduced a possible new protagonist.

Utilizing sound and paying close attention to the environment to gather information on how to proceed is a last last gen feature



why are some of these people even in the business of making games and not figuring out how to make cars drive themselves or something

Rope arrows and jumping are now context-sensitive actions

They released new patches that fix any problems you should have a while back. For thief 1 you want Tfix. For Thief 2 you want patch 1.19. Or just torrent the gog version which should include all of that.

Yeah, patch 1.19 is one of those wizard things too, it basically completely eliminates all the limitations and shortcomings of the thief engine (which is going to be great once 1.19 exclusive missions start being released)

Oh yeah if you want to run custom missions, save yourself the headache of doing it manually and get DarkLoader.

Ha, looks like I'll skip this. Or play it pirated. Everything that's being revealed makes it sound worse and worse.

It's a shame about some of the "modernisms" because I do at least like the sense of, uh, embodiment?

DETECTIVE MODE

The level design actually looks pretty good too, at least from what I can tell. Why is it all so grey though.

Looks like a game that 50% gets it and 50% is ruined by Assassin's Creed bullshit.

It does at least actually look like Thief in that video, graphically. The first couple screenshots they put out looked pretty dishonored-y. And I watched half of another trailer on mute and it looks like they do actually have Garrett's female apprentice from the end of the last one worked into the story. I might still secretly let myself get excited for this depending on how much of the ubisoftianisms you can turn off.
