Thief 3 Q&A

The Thief 3 Q&A on Computer and Video Games chats with ION Storm's Randy Smith about the upcoming installment in the stealthy Thief series. They discuss various aspects of gameplay, including how the use of the Unreal engine is influencing things:

One of the biggest differences for Thief 3 is that it uses state-of-the-art rendering technology. We've got fully volumetric shadows, which other companies are using now; but as early as two months ago the only companies we knew that were using this were us and id Software.

We try to use the rendering technology for gameplay all the time, so in a room, say, you might have an oven that's casting light. So the fact that any object casts a shadow from any light source means that the player has a lot more control over lighting in Thief 3.

As much as I like the fact that they're making Thief III, I have some misgivings about it. They seem to be n00bing it up with things like dropping the III from the title and adding the dagger. They also seem to be messing around with various other things. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Hopefully Warren has enough sense not to "streamline" it and make it Deus Thief.

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22
