'Thief' designer calls Xbox One, PS4 and current-gen development a fun challenge

The launch of new gaming consoles is always an awkward time for developers. Some manage to create content for both systems, while others keep their projects solely within one generation or the other. Examiner.com recently sat down with Daniel Windfeld Schmidt, the lead level designer on the upcoming Thief reboot, to ask him whether releasing this title across platforms had offered any unique challenges.

"Fun Challenge" sounds like a nice way of saying "Developmental Hell" especially in regards to parity of consoles.

ThePope4487d ago

It probably much easier than last gen as the systems are so similar

juliotheman214487d ago

Fun Challenge for you.. You're giving us a game with dumb AI :/

curtis924487d ago

Are you basing this on the fact they they had to dumb the AI down because it basically broke the game due to being unplayable?

Don't jump the gun.

juliotheman214487d ago

Hopefully they didnt go to far with dumbing it down. i like my challenging video games.

starchild4487d ago

I guarantee it will still be challenging. The older Thief games had AI that was less intelligent and those games were still quite challenging. This new Thief also has all kinds of settings that you can adjust to make it even more challenging.

juliotheman214486d ago

Sounds cool i will wait till i see a few reviews about it before i pick it up though

curtis924487d ago

PS4=fun, XB1=challenge.

"Fun Challenge."

Thief - Taken From Us Too Soon

The Thief game series has had many ups-and-downs, and 2014's reboot showed a great deal of promise nearly a decade ago.

Notellin1041d 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!

Noskypeno1041d ago

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.

You should try the Sniper Elite games, so good, especially with coop

Notellin1040d ago

Same here. I'm glad there are some other people who enjoy these types of games!

@isarai I tried Sniper Elite 5 and ended up really enjoying that one. Went back and played 4 as well!.

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.

Inverno1041d ago

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.

monkey6021041d ago

Jesus the last installment sells at about 2 euro and even that is over paying for it. Absolutely diabolical game

SimpleSlave1041d ago

Ups and Down? More like Up, UP, Pot Hole, Free Fall into the Abyss...

Rutaprkl1041d ago

Thief Deadly Shadows remaster would be awesome.
