They all look really great. I haven't played any of them, but I've found 'Thief - Deadly Shadows' in a store, pretty close to where I live. I have the feeling they will suprise me in the same way Deus Ex did (and still do). Do we have any Thief-fans? |

Indeed, I'm sure there are some fans out there ... what about you, obara? I've been a console person since the age of four. It's been recently I've found all these gold nuggets; Planescape Torment, Deus Ex, Fallout... still haven't played enough of Fallout, though. Computer games is another world altogether (compared to consoles). |

Thief is one of my top three favorites series', along with Metal Gear and Splinter Cell. Fuck action, I just want to be stealthy. Harvey Smith (Deus Ex) worked on Deadly Shadows, so yeah, get it. It has an undeserved spotty reputation and gets lumped in with the disappointing Deus Ex Invisible War, but this game is far, far better. Ultra atmospheric missions and sound design. The first two Thiefs are even better. Thief 4 is coming, I am choosing to be optimistic, even though it's called Thi4f. |

do they know that '4' is supposed to be 'A' in "leet speak"? |

Isn't the fourth one supposed to be a steampunk game or something? That could go either way. |

"Fuck action, I just want to be stealthy." Haha, yeah. Bugs the hell out of me, though, that Kojima abandoned the whole A.I-patriots part (MGS2) in MGS4. I always expected another Big Talk (digital censorship, social engineering, etc) with GW/JFK. Hopefully Raiden will have another meeting in MGS: Rising. What I loved about MGS2 was the feeling that 'this' was the only way things could have developed. The S3-plan and the fact that the Wisemen's Committee has been dead for a 100 years are brilliant ideas, and I can't get my head around why Kojima just dropped the whole deal, to settle with something less (personally). Reckon he couldn't put all the pieces together. Taxidermist: according to wikipedia is steampunk (medieval steampunk fantasy), but I don't know... |

MGS4 dropped the ball, story-wise. The final cutscene made me cringe with all the ridiculous explanations and twists, it pretty much ruins much of the story, especially the Ocelot character. But it still had the most important elements to me... free-form gameplay that's fun whether you want to kill thousands or beat the whole game without hurting anyone, obscure gameplay and story details that reward experimentation, silly humor and melodrama and eclectic presentation... I love it as a game and an "experience", but as the climax of a complex story arc, it's a big failure. And you're right, Thief already has a lot of steampunk elements, especially Thief 2- The Metal Age. There's a mix of Victorian/medieval/other architecture, primitive robots, you infiltrate a "high tech" bank with a powered security system, and there's even gramophones and shit. So it's not strictly a medieval setting, it's very stylized and unique. Thief 3 dialed the technology factor down a notch, but a pure steampunk Thief would feel like a totally natural progression of the series. |
