And that's why it's going to sell bucketloads.
Next gen versions can be had for Ģ35 and its pretty much the first major release since launch. Tomb Raider doesn't count because its a remake and the whole world has already played it. -

Registered 19 years agoNot enough box stacking in this new game, and I think I heard a distinctly sober Benny in that video. 0/10
It's looking fine. I'm glad that the Focus stuff and some UI things are optional. The AI seems super-dumb, I hope that it gets a bit more challenging. Not enough environmental storytelling, flyover cameras and mid-mission cut-scenes rob you of the discovery. Good use of the vertical but the spaces feel like big corridors and not areas in their own right.
The swoopy movement has me in two minds. Is it an overpowered part of the toolset, or does it keep the pace up. Is its use required in order to meet any personal playstyle goals (ghost runs).
Why does Garret make no footfall sounds? Why does a failed lockpick attempt alert all nearby guards yet the clank of the climbing hook go un-noticed? A clear case of the stealth rule-set clashing with intuition. I suspect the game has been balance to remove frustration. Where there is ambiguity in how a situation should play out, the rules are fudged in favour of the player. -

Registered 14 years agoSpeaking of "verticality", do those missing 180 pixels help you survive dropping off a building on xbox one? Surely everythings shorter, no? -

1920 x 1080 = 2,073,000 pixels.
1280 x 720 = 921,600 pixels.
Still the same ratio. -

Those pixels are missing from the top though. If anything Garrett will bang his head on stuff.

Registered 15 years agoYeah, but you're falling through less pixels so it must give you less time to build up speed. -

Registered 17 years agoDon't they just fatten the pixels up to compensate though? Less pixels, but actually further. It makes sense when you think about it. -

Will tyres get flat at the top now, instead of the bottom? -

Registered 19 years agoSeems the PS4 version has leaked and people are streaming it on Twitch. Haven't had time to watch much myself, but NeoGAF have been ripping it apart. The AI in particular is apparently really bad.
It does have sex scenes complete with boobies though! -

Registered 16 years agoThe stream has done itīs best to put me off tbh. I quite liked Deadly Shadows, Dishonoured, and the recent Deus Ex by the same devs was sublime. This looks seriously bland though.
Even in the absence of anything worth paying near fifty quid for on PS4 until Destiny in Sept, or hopefully Evil Within (Infamous looks dull, wasn't enamoured with itīs predecessor, and is a nailed on PS+ freebie eventually), I'm now thinking of steering clear. -

I am feeling the same way. So far everything I have seen makes me think it is going to be mediocre at best. It's funny that they seem to be going out of their way to ignore the things that made the original thief games great. The AI in Thief 2 seems more advanced than this one and that game is ancient now in comparison.

Registered 13 years agoCancelled mine, nothing has been positive so far, even from non-Thief fans and I fear it may be colonial marines bad with all the negatives I've read. Definitely a game that'll drop in price on next gen in a month or so, given it's been under Ģ30 already. -
I'm still looking forward to it.
It's new and shiny and the first new retail game for the Xbone that I will have bought since launch. Plus it's only Ģ35. -

Registered 13 years agoI'm still going to give it a go. I may well regret that decision in a weeks or so's time, but at least it'll be nice to have another next-gen game to try. -
Watching a stream at the moment and apart from some more realistic lighting it doesn't seem very next gen. Or particularly interesting either.
Think I'd rather a releaseof a prettier Dishonored with DLC. -

Registered 14 years ago@rudedudejude So far it feels by the number but Ive only played 2 missions, I was doing a live stream, but was advised to stop..
Also graphics on 360 are so so, this is one for next gen.
I do like the controls however. I feel as though on normal its a bit easy but you can see you will get more routes once you unlock stuff.

Probably just minor tutorial missions though I guess.
