So there are still people who want to moan about Thief 4. That's understandable because there are loads of things in it that large departures from the originals (and even the old school settings seem odd).
But please, if you want to discuss it's shortcomings can you do it here and not detail other threads with discussions or rants. It's actually disregardful of people who want to stay on topic and just disruptive to the conversation. You week wouldn't do it in real life (or you'd stop Bryn ng invited to the pub) so please - if have an axe to grind do it in here.
I'll start - that "old school"/classic Thief mods thing is odd, and daft.

Something else to complain about regarding T4 is if they don't include that Bank Heist mission in the final release of the game - i.e. if it's only reserved for people who preorder it

They've been calling this "Bank Heist" mission a pre-order exclusive, so it'd be very misleading (and quite immoral) if they included the mission in the final release. Perhaps a year later when the GOTY edition or whatever comes out, but not in the initial release. At least I'd be a bit annoyed and disappointed if that happened, and I haven't even pre-ordered the game! (yet?)

Well, I would still be wary of EM's motives. They lied in the past about the reason for changing their voice actor from SR to Romano (we're in 2014, we have the technology to have 1 voice actor and another movement actor, and making it look natural, therefore the excuse doesn't fly). Not to mention zealously deleting links to the petition from their forum
They. Didn't. Lie.
Just because you disagree with what they say, doesn't make it a lie. They felt it would look and feel unnatural. It's not an "excuse," it's an opinion.

Funny a thread like this gets started. Considering the level of outright pedantery and word-twisting, I'm surprised that this isn't more aptly titled: "Everything that you percieve is wrong about a game that hasn't been released yet".

Every NuThief video I have seen looks like there is severe mouselook smoothing or something similar in place. The mouselook never moves very fast and precise like the first game. Sometimes, like with leaning, I can almost tell that the slow mouselook is due to scripted vision, but when moving through the game normally, the mouselook doesnt seem very fast or quick and crisp. Who told EM that the original Thief had no action and was a slow moving game? It wasnt. You wanted to play slowly and cautiously at times, but the physics in the game were very fast, and again, crisp. Oh yeah, there is no mouselook anymore, my bad.

What in the world are you talking about? There is most definitely mouselook, and the way they control it for marketing videos is slow moving and smooth on purpose. Every game does this. Please refrain from making things up on the spot in the future, thanks.

Its console-controller-look now, mouselook in Thief is dead.

So, you are telling me that Thief4 is designed, created, and tested on a computer and then ported to your console? Or, they are developed side by side? Or perhaps console first, then computer. Which is it, Godzilla?
