Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
So the contextual movement is like Assassins' Creed... only that it's not even half as versatile as in Assassins' Creed?
Handholding and railroading galore, just as expected.

Fuck, this is incredibly bad (talking about contextual mantling, jumping, climbing, etc.). They will probably add grey/blue highlighter for interactive elements (a'la piss highlight in DE:HR). What's wrong with jumping and mantling as in Dark Mod? WTF?

Also Garrett model looks really bad.

And the voice, jesus wept!!. I was not giving a fuck about it, well... until now. The new guy is pretentious and boring. Not to mention horrendous writing. His one-liners are like for 14 yo teenagers from the gymnasium.

Stealing gives less XP than killing, lol.

Is there a fucking timer when pickpocketing, by Zeus?
A fucking hold-down action rather than instant?
Why?
Why the fuck would that be?
Does NuGarrett have to charge his hands before snatching the loot from the belt or what?

By all the gods, this is probably even worse as a design decision than all the other shit they announced. The quickest fucking master thief in the City takes more than a full second to fucking snatch a purse from a belt.
For fuck's sake.

That's probably their new "mechanic system". Like, bad-assess bossess will have the stealing circle filling in much slower, to "simulate" their high awareness and importance in the game. (Should be opposite, if you think about it - personal guards should be much more difficult to rob and deceive as it is their fucking job to prevent that). Anyway, like I said before somewhere in this thread - there are many other and far more obvious things that ruins it.

But, yeah it looks like retarded and unnecessary gimmick.

You know, it could be a nice system.

Like:
You need to accurately aim to steal anything. Quickly aimed, grabbed, moved away. The higher the guard is in rank, the harder it will be to get the item.
If you miss, you grab a guard's butt and get buttraped.

So now we have to upgrade NuGarret's abilities, to make him a better thief? Yeah, just disregard the fact the Garrett supposed to be master thief from the beginning. I always thought that he is basicly a level capped thief. Where do you upgrade from the maximum?

Even those Assassin's Creed guys pickpocketed faster than that by running past them. And this guy's the Master Thief?

Oh dear lord...

I have an idea for the story for Thiaf 2 (Thief 5?).
You play as old Garrett who returns to City only to find out that there is an impostor using his name, not only stealing but also killing in his name. So now Garrett has to stop this newcomer and clean his name. In the final mission he kills him, and not because of XP AWARDED.
The impostor is NuGarrett.

And his friend Basso turned into a Bosso Gay Whore by NuGarrott.

"So that's the famous Garrett, huh? Guess he's not as good-looking as I'd heard."
