I don't mind the voice. It's a bit Metal Gear Solid like crossed with a bit of Dark Knight Batman. Gameplay looks promising.

They really need to add the player body into the FPS view; that scene where he's dragging the body along just looked a bit silly. I can't believe we're still playing FPS games without the body in the view!@#

Trog: And the rag doll physics for when he is dragging the guard. When I have drag someone they don't bounce around like they are made of rubber.

Sigh. Why does it look so...meh. And lol at the body dragging. Sure do like my bodies being below 2kg.

I'm a little disapointed that the 3 differnt ways they showed where really only 2, and really those 2 were variations of the same thing. ie, kill everyone walk in, or sneak in maybe killing on your way.

Day-us? All this time I've been saying it wrong.

Also, along with some of the other minor grips mentioned;
I better be able to turn off that 'I'm Glowing Bright Yellow because you can use me for Fun!' console bulls*** in the PC version.

Same thing was in the Thief 3 game. Neon blue outline around items you could use. A few days later mods came out to fix that and turn it off or a dark brownish colour so you don't notice it much. I expect the same thing here.

I think it looks solid, a lot more reminiscent of dx1 rather than invisible war. That being said the level design looks nowhere near as good (more linear) than dx1, but theres still hope! I still rate liberty island mission in dx1 as the best designed level ever in a video game.

Its latin, and yeah, its pronounced Day-us, sif not know that, latin noobs.

Game looks rather average though, whatever you call it. Doesn't look bad, but doesn't really impress me either. And the shadows look really weird, they almost look like dense black outlines on things at times (like when corpses are on the ground or hes up against a wall).

Oh god that was painful. Horrible ragdoll physics, apparent inability to move higher than knee height without the box, voices so mechanical.
Not commenting on the dated graphics as it IS a console port. It had better have awesome story/gameplay or it is going to tank.

I have to admit, that trailer is woefully underwhelming. It looks as though it is a 2005 game, maybe. Please let the gameplay be awesome.

I feel sorry for everyone that got so hyped for it when it was announced. It'd be like crushing your d*** in a window sill.

I think part of the issue with the model nuances being picked itt comes back to the tools used to turn out the assets and the processes used to bake all the various elements together being too similar to some kind of style produced for interior designs or commercial stuff.

not that it's a bad thing, just that for me because i have to compare that to something like gameplay clips of Rage and the geniune innovation that they are able to extract from their creative tools pipline, it just leaves games like this short to ones i notice like that because they haven't gone all in with those elements

call me a dellusional super freak if you think that's a bad call, but they used almost all Autodesk content tools in their workflow to turn out this title and i think that really shows in mostly dull and boring ways here :<

Hrm. Not really sure what to make of it, I mean I could probably enjoy it.

Hoping Thief 4 hasn't gained a few of those features however, despite rumours that it has...

its not going to be any watershed i suppose

it becomes quickly apparent when that art/technology paradigm gets it right

unless my expectations of awesome are somewhat ancient, since this is somewhat of a romero v carmack year in terms of ip continuity

O what? That just sucks. O well it probably is all hype anyway.

I guess Battlefield 3 and Witcher 2 are my only hopes this year.

For reals? Got a link?

edit: nvm, found a source.

If PC isn't their primary platform for a PC franchise then my hopes for Thief 4 just plummeted. :(
