NuThief is depressing me, Vae. Let's change the subject.
Sooo... how's the weather?

The weather was warm and pleasant today, here in LA...:)

Jesus Effing Christ, you guys - it's the exactly the same. I don't know what video you watched but
it's the same.This, more than anything. There may be a ton of HUD elements, 3rd person cuts, and XP pop-ups smeared all over it but the game itself is Thief alright. As someone who's a big gamer I've more or less become immunized to all the extra stuff, but I can see how it would be distressing to people who've barely played a game since the last Thief entry came out.
Yeah, hopefully a lot of this stuff can be toggled off. Personally I kinda like the focus, dash, and VATS-thing, but the rest I could do without.

I've played many games since Thief and it's distressing. I expect (and can somewhat put up with) the HUD stuff, poor stealth mechanics, NPC-alert frantic music and superhero powers for other games, not Thief.

What is Thief to you? I didn't see anything specifically Thief but the water arrow. If you can be happy with a summary of three pillars of gameplay and some carry over of equipment, then we are definitely experiencing the games from powerfully divergent perspectives. Thief was a revelation and a relief for many of us. If you can't relate or grasp that, you never will. EM clearly has no f***ing clue about it. Nothing they say or justify or change or include shows any understanding of why the game is important beyond being an original stealth title.
I've played Thief OMs several times, and portions many many more times. I don't get much time to play full missions, and certainly not in ideal environs. 2006 was the year I played all of TDS for the first time. Once. And I played Thief Gold through to Escape! one mission after another, having never played it in context since checking them out in 2001. What I love about Thief is that it doesn't have much of what I'm sick of or bored to death over in most games. This new title has a lot of what I'm sick of and bored of, and the gameplay discussed and shown so far isn't much of the Thiefy stuff I loved. If you are a gamer and you own more than one system for gaming, you won't have the slightest idea what the problem is for several of us. We never learned how to describe it to ya, and y'all never learned how to listen.
I'm bothered more by the schismatic changes in the forums. TDS had a horrible effect we never recovered from. T4 is proving to be the kill shot.

On the positive side, though, you can now roleplay a kangaroo.

100% how I feel.

^ Many feel that way.

Swoop from shadow to shadow, without a chance to spook...:eek:
