Thief's out next week; have a launch trailer to remind yourself - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=itisjuly;43988662]New TR reboot imo was so much better than old ones.[/QUOTE] It's a shame it didn't feel like a tomb raider game at all. Would have been far better off as its own thing rather than a reboot in my honest opinion. Besides the game would have been better with any other main character because frankly a woman whining with a british accent for the entirety of the game gets annoying really fast.

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;43985050]they took out pretty much all the stuff that made the originals good; unforgiving combat (AKA if you get caught, you fucking run or you're dead), all the cool supernatural stuff, the fact that garrett don't give a fuck about world politics, he just wants to steal shit[/QUOTE] you can make the combat even more unforgiving through the difficulty options, seems like there's some supernatural stuff don't know what's wrong with that, and i don't get where the world politics stuff is coming in? the people complaining about this game are probably people who either never played a Thief game and are just spouting what their friends said or people who saw it at E3 and immediately judged it (to be fair i did that at first too)

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;43989088]Was watching a streamer play a leaked xbox version of it. Its really REALLY fucking bad. Way worse than I thought. Heres the streamer. [url]http://cybergame.tv/bombacquired/[/url][/QUOTE] That music. I have no clue how to call this (industrial ? maybe ?) but it sounds awful, and really fucking unfitting. Garret's hood looks so fucking dumb too.

[url]http://cybergame.tv/bombacquired/[/url][/QUOTE] holy fucking shit devs are bad at not keeping their games safe from being leaked so many leaks in the past years its not even funny..

Haha you can apparently abuse lockers by going in them and whenever a guard goes by you open the door and he gets knocked out. Then you can just go back in the locker, go out and knock him out again, rinse and repeat.

[QUOTE=Coffee;43989399]It looks like a better version of Dishonored with a better focus on stealth.[/QUOTE] From what I'm seeing right now enemies are really fucking dumb. Besides Garret being able to soak arrows in like a pro, enemies will give up chase as soon as you leave their sight. Climb up a bit and they'll immediately lose track. Outrunning anyone seems way too easy.

Climb up a bit and they'll immediately lose track.[/QUOTE] this ai issue has been with the thief series since forever - jump onto a table in thief 1/2 with the ai chasing you and they'll just sorta fart around and then run away screaming. you can tell how a game is made by how it breaks, and thief breaks in a lot of interesting ways.

Climb up a bit and they'll immediately lose track.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but in games where they are extremely persistent in chasing you (IE: Assassin's Creed), it becomes extremely tedious and annoying rather than enjoyable. Whilst Thief's way seems too easy, at least it isn't going to cause too much frustration. [editline]21st February 2014[/editline] Actually, watching this stream makes we want to play this new Thief quite a bit. Hmm... Should I preorder?

[editline]21st February 2014[/editline] Actually, watching this stream makes we want to play this new Thief quite a bit. Hmm...

[editline]21st February 2014[/editline] [img]http://puu.sh/73Zee.jpg[/img] Couldn't get a full picture of it. The fuck kind of low-rext texture is that ? That's not before the textures popped in by the way, that's an actual loaded game texture. Game seems to be full of those when indoors. [editline]21st February 2014[/editline] [img]http://puu.sh/73Zmo.jpg[/img] The fuck is wrong with the textures in this game (that's after the textures popped in, and that's a main character)

Console version?

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;43989556]The fuck is wrong with the textures in this game (that's after the textures popped in, and that's a main character)[/QUOTE] this is the leaked xbox 360 version of the game. it obviously isn't going to have texture resolution that's the same on the pc or next gen console versions.

You also seem to obtain maps the instant you enter a new area. No need to read any document or pay for anything. And there was a jump scare, the streamer immediately paused for a few seconds :v:

[QUOTE=SinineSiil;43985142]Some people decided to stream it today and it looks horrible. I hope all those idiots who pre-ordered this game will enjoy its Unearthed level AI, [B]awful dialogue and voice acting[/B] and lots of loading screens.[/QUOTE] Because subs > dubs, am I right? I haven't played the first two thief games, only Deadly Shadows so while I don't have the same nostalgia other thief fans have, I think I'll still get this game. Not right away but maybe a month or two after it's released since I still have games I need to finish.

The atmosphere seems pretty good, though I can't really tell because this stream is stuttering.

It's probably worth for like five bucks because at least the story doesn't sound too bad and the supernatural visuals are interesting (unlike the rest of the game which looks fairly generic). The game is however plagued with loading screens, dialogue glitches (guards repeating the same lines over and over or responding to each other with the same line of dialogue like what you could find in Oblivion) and the sneaking seems way too easy considering enemies give up way too easily (I agree that enemies pursuing you for too long is an issue but there's a right balance to be had and this game is way too kind on getting spotted. The UI oddly enough also seems way too invasive because besides having a tiny, useful indicator of being in the dark they still decided to add a huge, animated vignette whenever you're hidden which is really distracting. And the music is godawful. Whose bright idea was it to throw wubwubs in whenever you get chased

Anyone on the stream when they where on the brothel level? You missed out on some of the most hilarious shit ever to come out of this game.

The fucking glass texture on bottles is awful. Those are items you hold right onto the screen, and they're essentially a flat texture with a really badly made cubemap slapped on it [img]http://puu.sh/740Am.jpg[/img] It's even worse in movement

It's just the 360 version, don't worry about it.

[QUOTE=Coffee;43989813]It's just the 360 version, don't worry about it.[/QUOTE] I doubt they actually gave bottles an entirely different texture and bumpmap in other versions. [editline]21st February 2014[/editline] Also the entire level the guy is in seems to be straight out of another game, apparently they thought it was a good idea to throw an abandoned asylum with power generators, electrical lights and everything being made of iron and steel into a victorian setting, complete with modern labcoats and straightjackets.

It's really unfitting considering the rest of the game. Looks straight out of outlast. [editline]21st February 2014[/editline] [img]http://puu.sh/742aG.jpg[/img] What the fuck is even going on here

[QUOTE=Coffee;43989399]It looks like a better version of Dishonored with a better focus on stealth.[/QUOTE] Thats a pretty good joke, almost thought you were serious for a second.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;43989945]It's really unfitting considering the rest of the game. Looks straight out of outlast. [editline]21st February 2014[/editline] What the fuck is even going on here[/QUOTE] Thanks for the spoilers, why don't you just reveal everything else too in the game to us? I like to have everything be a surprise when I play my games.

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;43990106]so what you're saying is that it's a fitting addition to the Thief series[/QUOTE] AI was good in the original Thief, especially because of the sound mechanics.

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;43990186]Thanks for the spoilers, why don't you just reveal everything else too in the game to us? I like to have everything be a surprise when I play my games.[/QUOTE] its ok, obviously it's not worth playing anyhow cause its not one of my 90s games! man i wish we could go back to the good old days of old games, kids have it so shitty now with their -new- games, they're not even good!

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;43990186]Thanks for the spoilers, why don't you just reveal everything else too in the game to us? I like to have everything be a surprise when I play my games.[/QUOTE] It's a fucking loading screen picture. And it doesn't make sense in context either.

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;43990198]AI was good in the original Thief, especially because of the sound mechanics.[/QUOTE] The AI in Thief was decent at best, I've had plenty of instances where I've been chased and literally had to slip into a shadow in the corner of a hall the guard was running down and he'd completely ignore me as he walked by.
