I wish they'd just flat-out say who the voice actor is.
Fuck I thought it was gonna be an April Fools trailer with Shaquille O'Neal voicing him
First Fisher, then Snake, now Garret. Any bets on the next stealth game protagonist to get their voice actor replaced?
im pretty hyped so far, from what i've heard it sounds like they're really sticking to the idea of the series
I was really hoping for an april fools joke, because the original Garret has one of the most iconic voices I can think of. Granted, this new voice actor isn't bad, I actually kind of like it, but it doesn't beat the original.
Not sarcastic enough 0/10 would not buy

Doubt Valve could find his original VA anyways
Out of all franchises, thief has to be the one where the voice actor was the biggest fucking deal. Such a shame. :(

The voice sounds very similar to the original.

Except this one has an Irish twang to it.
I hope they keep Garrett's snark and sarcasm that wasn't in this trailer. Or the weird tech. Or the supernatural stuff. Or anything that gave the game some personality beyond "generic dark'n'gritty medieval setting".
But hey, its graphical execution's impressive and they kept the stealth emphasis I was fearing for when reading over the Focus ability and Attack Points. Now to wait for some actual footage.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;40124416]i like how they are sticking to him being in it for himself and no one else
i really hate when games like this always shoehorn the protag into being chaotic good[/QUOTE]

Yeah Garrett has a history of trying really hard to not give a shit about the prophecies he's constantly being dragged into, which gave him a great deal of personality.
As someone who never played the original games much I couldn't give a shit about the VA being different, as long as he is still good. Hopefully the game won't be disappointing.

Oh don't get me wrong, I think he sounds like a good voice actor and he's by no means a completely different sound, but Stephen Russell's voice really was something very special. It's a shame but i'm still pretty stoked about the game.
Welp, I wanted ingame footage and they actually had some up. Well kinda. It's at least rendered in the game's engine.

Mindblowing stuff.

i haven't played thief until i played the first one when i was like 10 or something, but i remember garrett being such a fucking sarcastic asshole
really made his character though
Man, this guy can't catch a break
first he lost the job as Booker DeWitt, and now this

corvo
When did he become ninja like.
You're suppose to get a jolly good beatdown while been called a taffer if a guard spots you like that.
I'm glad they did away with all that Thie4 nonsense though
Since when did the word "release" get replaced with leak.
Maybe it's nostalgia from the previous games getting to me, but man I really think Stephen Russell is Garrett now.I'm gonna have an extremely hard time not seeing Garrett as a brand new character because of it.
[editline]2nd April 2013[/editline]
Fun fact, Stephen Russell played Mercer Frey from Skyrim, who is the leader of the Thieves' Guild.
[editline]2nd April 2013[/editline]
Oh wait, it's all over the comments.
[editline]2nd April 2013[/editline]
Though I admit that I do like the fact that he directly references people ghosting in the game. That means that the devs probably built the game with the possibility of doing ghost runs. This makes me happy.
What's with all the leaked stuff these past 2 months?

I thought the devs already stated that it's possible to do ghost runs.
New voice is too serious in this.
Garret always, ALWAYS had snark in everything he said in a more lighter tone.
But Thi4f 4 the fourth better have funny guards.

Which one is the best?

Yes and 2.

He used a flash bomb
First Thief, now we also see Shaquille O' Neal? Almost thought it was a new, shittier version of Shaq Fu (once again, by Electronic Arts)

how can you make that assumption when this is the first bit of him we've even heard?
