Sparse Thief 4 details sneak out

SystemLink: "Thief 4 has been awfully silent for such a big-name game. After a gentle and small announcement, all we've seen of the title has been a logo. But, hey, it's spelt Thi4f, so you know the game's going to be awesome, right?! Supererogatory might be able to shed some light on that."

Where "scripted sequences with altered controls" read: "Quick Time Events".

Why can't they let the pasty be the past. It had too fantastic games before messing it up int the third. And since the Third also sold the most, my money's on the 4th being a lot more like it than the better games of 1 and 2.

yog-sothot5426d ago

I share your bad premonition, but I still have hopes : this game is being developed by a team close to the one who's making Deus Ex HR, and it seems they have nailed what made this series so legendary (according to many previews and most of the comment of people who have played the leaked alpha version)

RedSky5426d ago (Edited 5426d ago )

I'm confused, based on the downvotes people enjoy being pulled out of the action and watching repetitive scripted sequences play out while they sit idly by?

I've all but seen scant gameplay runs of Deus Ex 3 and I can already seen them being recycled.

It's one thing to say these will be good/great games as there is obvious passion and thought being put into the story and setting, but it's another to suggest these sequences are anything but petty attempts to pander to the casual gamer crowd.

WittyAdrian5426d ago

Thief: Deadly Shadows was a great game IMO, I dont know why ppl keep shoving it off as a failure of sorts. If they're going to make Thi4f a lot like Deadly Shadows, then that just increases the MUST-BUY factor for me.

But hé, thats just me...

Pintheshadows5426d ago

Deadly Shadows is a fantastic game. Different from the first 2 but at heart it was still a Thief game. The Shadlebridge Cradle still haunts me.

Looking forward to 4.

Corrwin5426d ago

Thief: DS was a fantastic game.

It just wasn't a fantastic Thief game. The level people bang on about the most was the Cradle, but horror outside the tension of being caught, should be no where near a Thief game.

Just hoping we get a closer experience to Thief DP, and Thief MA. But I know sales drive development, so I don't have a lot of hope.

Sidewinder-5426d ago

imo naming it The4f is daft as.

Thiaf. Wanna play some Thiaf?

RedSky5426d ago

Naming it The4f would be daft.

Sidewinder-5425d ago

only just caught on. haha.

I apologize for misspelling a misspelled word.

:P

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.

Notellin1024d 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!

Noskypeno1024d 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.

isarai1024d ago

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

Notellin1023d 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!.

ModsDoBetter1024d ago (Edited 1024d ago )

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.

Inverno1024d 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.

monkey6021024d ago

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

SimpleSlave1024d ago

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

Rutaprkl1024d ago

Thief Deadly Shadows remaster would be awesome.
