Fess up, who likes the first 2 Thief games for PC? Maybe THE biggest pioneer in the stealth genre.
This is the dopest one yet. Oh man, you can smell the medieval body odor off those sitting duck guards when you're sneaking through corridors and tunnels in this game. Atmospheric deluxe. The game plays exactly like a olden-tymes Splinter Cell, right down to the identical button layout. Y to jump, X to crouch, etc. The lack of a sniper rifle really complicates things, because you have to get up close and personal with these stinking unbathed castle-dwellers when you want to stab them in the face.
It's also a lot like Deus Ex- Invisible War for Xbox... seems to be using the same engine, physics (environmental and ragdoll), and lighting system. Better framerate, though. And it's just all around more refined.
Anyway, I'm trying to find out how to open some wretched vault, I think I have to go kill some guy and steal his key. No sweat off my sack.
What's the first Thief like? Back then, I didn't have a computer with the necessary horsepower for that game. I'll probably download it after I beat Deadly Shadows (a game which you should buy).

I have only ever had 3 games for PC, Quake II, The Dig and Thief 2. Thief 2 is ace.

It's tough to find shots that do it justice! They're all so dark. A still shot doesn't do the lighting justice.

Yeah that looks great. I played the first Theif, but I loved Deus Ex 1 + 2 even more.

Yeah man, thief was great, I think it was the first one. Don't know if I ever beat it. But it was a game where the gameplay and story fused very well. The fucking zombie levels. Descending into the huge crypt was good.

like in Silent hill, where you go "aw, fuck. I've got to go past all these mannequin-parts and that blood-stained hallway to make the game!"

My computer can't run it either... but the Xbox can. 42 inch HDTV Thief, baby.
I'll be lucky if I can run Thief 1 and 2 on this piece of shit...
Update, Thief 3 is phenomenal. I played it for about 6 hours, and didn't really get anywhere... just experimented in the city with the gear and the AI. And I hear there are zombies in the game later on... makes sense, since I just found some flasks full of holy water.

It runs fine on my computer, but I'm running it at 800*600. I don't mind making the tradeoff with the resolution because I have a little AA turned on and when I'm busy playing the game, I don't notice the jaggies too much.
Anyway, the game is dope as shit and I love the fact that I've been putting it off for a day now because I don't want to do the zombie level. It's such a creepy game.
wooooo.

Everybody I've robbed or pickpocketed, I've also stabbed in the head and hid in the bushes. Am I being a bad thief?

The original Thief was rad, till you get to the levels where you are fighting... giant balls of... volcanic rock... that shoot fireballs at you. That was gay.

yeah the Thief series is really good, nice and sneaky harold.
I just finished Thief 3 yesterday, it was good fun, and wasnt super short like most games are nowadays. The graphics were quite good considering, the physics wasnt so great but over all a good game worth playing.
Deus Ex 1 and 2 were very good also, but I found 2 a little short.
From memory the previous Thiefs used the same graphics engine as System Shock 2? Am i correct? I cant remember well

I have Thief 2. Never completed it as some fucking bug in the game kept asking me to insert some sodding CD. Oh fucking nice one as it was already in there. Spent 200000 hours downloading a 40meg patch on dial up and that didn't fix it. I gave up at that point. What i played of it I liked though. In fact I think I'll revisit it soon.

IT WON'T FUCKING RUN ON MY COMPUTER.
well, the demo won't.
my graphics card is shit. :(
just about a month ago I played Thief 2 - I loved that game! nice storyline, could really get into the stealthy thing. so I'm pretty disappointed I can't play the new one. :(
(Thief 2 was the first one I played - I then bought the first Thief and was extremely disappointed - the follow-up was SO much better)

all the graphics I have seen the graphics in this game are sub-par to modern standards. the few reviews I have read also say how disappointing the graphics are.
BUT all the review also mention how involving the story and gameplay are - much more important, imo.

The graphics are good not amazing.... the graphics engine is a bit heavy though. I have the game but I'll wait a few weeks in case I get a new computer. Ah it's also a bit lighter and more stable than Invisible War.
