I just finished the original Thief that was released back in 1998 and it got me stoked for the new game. Thief plays like how I wish Assassin's Creed did. The game makes you stick to the shadows and slink around in the dark to find your target. I really hope they are able to upgrade the movement system to something similar to Assassin's Creed while maintaining the essence of stealth (that and water arrows =P). Go check out the original game on Steam or GOG. It may look a bit dated, but it is still very enjoyable.

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.

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.
