Third-Person Thief III [Jan 22, 2004, 4:59 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Game That
Pioneered Stealth in Gaming Reemerges in Eidos and Ion Storm's Thief: Deadly
Shadows is the press release announcing the addition of a third-person
perspective option in the upcoming installment in the stealthy Thief series. The
announcement is accompanied by
a few screenshots showing off the new point of view. Here's a bit:
In Thief: Deadly Shadows, gamers will be able to play in either third person or first person perspectives, and shift seamlessly between each on the fly. The new third person perspective will further immerse players into the role of Garret [sic] -- the master Thief. Sneaking through darkly lit environments, stealing riches and ambushing unwary targets in third person presents a new, visceral gaming experience to the Thief franchise. Still, the tension fuelled gameplay in classic Thief first person view is there for returning fans of the series and newcomers alike. Ion Storm's trademark dynamic lighting and shadow technology manifests in Thief: Deadly Shadows new levels of depth and tension to the game's environments. Characters and objects cast real shadows that effect stealth gameplay, requiring the player to manipulate darkness and light to create your own shadows to hide in.
uh...the population's not getting dumber, it's just that more of the dumb people that used to stare at walls/tv are now playing video games as well. So the video game population is getting dumber, yes.
I hope PC gaming doesn't get any easier than it is now. I don't want the dummies moving into our scene. Thank god for microsoft and their bugs/ dx9 / video drivers /sound drivers, and all the frustration producing problems which keep the dummies away! Back in the MSDOS days I bet the average IQ of a PC gamer was pretty high compared to the general population....config.sys anyone?
