GT:We go hunting in the shadows in this demo from E3 2013 All Access coverage.
From outer space to stealing in Europe, The Epic Games Store has two free games you might like.
The Thief game series has had many ups-and-downs, and 2014's reboot showed a great deal of promise nearly a decade ago.
This would be such a great franchise to reboot. A darker game than Dishonored, but focused around stealth and large scale heists from an oppressive monarchy.
That's probably my dream game. I love immersive sims and stealth!
People say they hate forced stealth sections in games. But a game focused on stealth with good mechanics and level design feels refreshing from the guns blazing games which I also enjoy. I really enjoyed playing Splinter cell, a game that not many try to mimic today. Not too many games let you shoot lights out, or throw cans or bottles to distract guards. Sure there are games with stealth options like the new Wolfenstein but it doesn't feel necessary to play it that way. Hitman might be the only game that has that feeling, except for that Korean game that may or may not ever come out.
The last one was a trainwreck and has been in the bargain bin since just after launch. If they bring it back, they need a massive change in direction.
only direction they should take is putting it in reverse and going back to what the originals did. I couldn't finish this game, and I made a choice to never play it again. I watched a video about the og Thief and Deus Ex games and the current AAA standard will forever hold back these games. These 2 games alone had already solved so many problems with modern gaming that I don't think they'll get a chance at something great unless they're made by a dev that actually give a damn.
Jesus the last installment sells at about 2 euro and even that is over paying for it. Absolutely diabolical game
The online retailer Fanatical has not one but four new game bundles that should interest PC gamers.
I'm not sure why Eidos is on this "focus" kick with their games. I'm really hoping it doesn't force you into scenarios where you have to use it (turning it off would be great, but since he said it was connected to the story I doubt it will be an option). I also hope the screen doesn't feel too crowded with that foggy border around the edges and the hands playing a big part.
I am glad to see that combat doesn't look overly fluid. Garrett isn't a warrior, so combat shouldn't be easy enough to run through hordes of enemies. But then again, that brings into question the focus abilities and how much easier fighting will be with them. Definitely glad to see the shadows, hiding bodies, all that stuff, is still very much part of the series (cough cough my avatar)
I'm cautiously optimistic, but still have plenty of questions/concerns.
of all games this one should have looked next gen. but it just doesnt.
Looks good. Thief will always have a special meaning for me, love the series.
This game looked like crap. Doesn't even look next-gen. And I suspect is why Geoff Kieghley and Spike actually showed it and made sure people knew it was running on PS4.
AI seems terrible, combat sluggish. Not very next gen.
