It also would be great if someone did a standalone VR mod to run original Thief1/2 on Meta Quest, like they did for Doom1/2/3, Heretic, Hexen, Quake, it shouldn't be too hard. Would love to explore that oid Bafford manor again, but this time in VR and without any cords, just headset and controllers. Want to bludgeon Benny more personally with my hand )

There are lots of ways in VR, from controller's joystick rotation to the physical arm rotation.
As a rule, the crouching in VR is usually doubled with a button pressing like in flat games if physical crouch is implemented in the game.
The 3D is something awesome in VR, but what really gets me is the controls.
The possibility to twist your arm and do some shots in crazy angles.
Having said that, most game ether use the stick click, b, or just moving the analog stick down.
For lockpick, AC Nexus made the best one that i saw in date.

Later in the game there are more rings to push, so you do the angle, and push the pick to the next ring until all of them align and the lock opens. By push i mean physically move your hand forward.

I've never been that interested in VR before, but this looks fascinating.
I've been meaning to get a VR headset for over 10 years. Resident Evil 7 was made with VR in mind.
I finally picked up a PSVR2 so I can play this when it releases, and finally went back and played RE7/RE8 and plenty of other VR games.
VR is a completely different experience to flat gaming and I'm glad I finally got into VR. Horror games especially are way better.

Probably the best deal at the moment is the Quest 3S. ~350€. Standalone, but you can also connect it to a PC and play Steam titles. When I bought mine half a year ago it came bundled with Batman: Arkham Shadow, probably the best VR stealth game at the moment, buuuut... I don't think that's bundled with the headset any more?
I got a PSVR2 used on eBay for $240. Works perfectly fine.
Playing Cyberpunk 2077 in VR with the Luke Ross mod is an amazing experience, and I already finished the game flat multiple times. Its like walking through a real city

If you're into horror, I recommend Madison VR on PSVR2. Easily the most scary and stressful horror game I've ever played.

FYI to all, Vertigo is going to show off some gameplay on their youtube channel next Tuesday. Hoping to get a better feel for the game and see some cool stuff.

legacy of shadow?, what its only one shadow, not shadows, ohh and yeah thief 3 used deadly shadows, they could not be a bit more creative?
also garrett is no longer tofu since thief 2 so i am disappointed
people think when you jump from a far distance to a rope arrow and fling off "they think its a bug" but in reality its garretts tofu body "firm" that causes it so its normal, the look up tech works to fix it

Its interesting. This game.
Makes me wonder, what else may be instore for Thief as a franchise.
Theory Time:
Thief (2014) takes place 200 years after The originals. Playing as a different Thief named garret (why IDK its the lore)
Thief Legacy of Shadows, takes place sometime in between. Garret is now trapped in a mechanist eye or his consciousness is. A play on the Eye of Constantine.
This is a VR game, but it does help fill in some of this gap of time in Thief universe. Could a sequel to Thief (2014) be in full development at Eidos? Dues Ex is off the table I believe, leaving system Shock, which is unlikely. Tomb raider? maybe, there is a new TV show coming. But with Square Enix out of the way, Eidos seems to be going back and remastering their older games. At least they are paying to have this done. Starting with System Shock 1 & 2, now Dues Ex, what is next?
Thief is arguably one of their biggest franchises (dues ex, system shock) outside of the tomb raider games. Thief legacy is not a AAA game produced by Eidos, so what exactly is Eidos working on?
Let us hope it is a sequel to Thief 2014. Haters are going to hate but it could be amazing if done in a way that see's the resurgence of all of the main factions, a more complex story line and integrates garret and the eye into this story line. Which would be the point behind his consciousness being trapped in the mechanist eye. Maybe something related to the forbidden city and the haunted cathedral, talisman's locations or something. Seeing the return of the Hammers and Mechanists, even the Pagones and Mages.
Lets hope there is a new Thief gaming on the way. AND this time, they release the tools required for the community produce modded content such as fan missions and mods that make the game more expansive.
who knows though. Lets just hope Thief is next up on eidos's remaster streak.
