I really hate this DNA word. And how they use it. I really do.

"It's not TEEF, it's TEEF."

"A lot of the people on my team were like when the first game came out I was 5 years old"
Wait, Thief came out in 1998 didn't it? If they were only 5 years old then, they wouldn't be 20 yet now.

Maybe, they are genetically engineered clones with fake memories created by Ubisoft with the only purpose of fuck good franchises.

Developer: Codename 47?

Good lord, the PR

No. It looks more like an action game than a stealth game. I'm really worried.

I'm skeptical that this could ever measure up to the originals.

32 25.81%
I'm ambivalent about it. It could be bad, or good. Let's just wait and see.

21 16.94%
I have a feeling it's going to be a lot better than people are thinking.

26 20.97%
Yes, I love what I see so far! It's going to be fantastic!

No vaseline.

So, more than half are sceptical that this game is going to be a real Thief game, about 15% are on a "wait and see" stance, 20% aren't too pessimistic, while only about 5% actually LIKE what they've seen so far.

Yep, the Thief fanbase doesn't like it at all.

Well, sure. What they've shown so far will alienate many fans of the old games and newer/younger gamers don't know it anyway.

Yeah, post it there, I'm sure the drooling popamolers will understand it. It's not like all they're gonna see is "shit graphics and helpers every game should have".

Number of heart shields on that screenshot tells me that it was played on normal difficulty.

What is it with the sudden obsession with Compound bows in dudebro shooters?

Rambo.

 

[Jaesun]

I'd assume it's because of The Hunger Games.

I think it goes further back than that. The Hawkeye character from The Avengers has one, and he already had it back when the Thor film was released.

 

[Jaesun]

Oh yeah. Forgot about that. So basically it's exactly that thing Fargo talks about in his Wasteland 2 pitch video.

In before red shoes and vampires haha

Actually most of the people in their Thief forum seem to be fans of the originals who are sceptic about Thi4f. They haven't yet managed to attract the console crowd that never even heard of Thief before.

I know, but almost half of them worked on Assassins creed 1 and worse: they are French Canadian, they have french genes and who is the most french of the publishers? Ubisoft is a factory of hipsters and now they are exporting them to Square Enix.

You know how the keepers trained Garrett in how to hide/be less visible, perhaps with the new action slant the keepers will have trained him how to be a super ninja, but he was too super ninja for them and so he left, they werent super ninja enough to stop him.

Sorry but I had that thought, and it hurt, had to share it.

 

[mindx2]

I had to register there and post my "opinion" on their new masterpiece in the Thief franchise. I really hope I didn't offend any console kiddies. :D

You're all just nasty trolls from the RPGCodex.

Wow, who the fuck came up with those belts?

Who else?

 

[JarlFrank]

Yes, Japs come up with lots of incredibly retarded shit, but... those belts. Around her legs. And feet. How does she even walk.

I just don't get this weird anime style stuff. It's just so ridiculous.

 

[dnf]

Bros is FFX the best RPG out there suck it up.

If they really wanted to make an assassin game, they should have licensed the rights to use Arya from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones after she is finished with her training as a Faceless Man.
The console crowd would "get it" and the Thief fans would not be pissed off. It would have been a nice premise for a game, and everybody would be happy.
