man what are they doing

even knowing nothing of the gameplay I'm already dreading all the steampunk affectations that will percolate through the work.

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.

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.

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

Wise words.

"because for the only one who can save us, not being found, is what he does best"

Is it me or is that some really awkward wording?

Thief looks Ubisoftian indeed, but as far as I know, it's not being made by the DXHR team, which is probably working on a next-gen sequel to that.

DHXR itself is not ubisoftian at all, and I still think they made a pretty fantastic game, given the contraints of AAA development (without the typically astronomical budgets of AAA, even)

90% is pretty harsh.
Not sure what you guys miss so much about the previous Deus Ex (assuming mostly the first one) that you can't find in Human Revolution or that Human revolution doesn't improve upon. It's not like Deus Ex was perfect in every way.

We can all agree that the boss fights sucked (I haven't played them in the Director's Cut, but I hear they've reworked them completely) but other than that I can't think of any of the major flaws that modern games are usually guilty of.
