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.
I'm starting to see some irrational love for the PC and hate for the XBox. Gamers like us are for the most part rational, and any rational person that has played games on the XBox know that it is a viable, and often, better, alternative to the PC.
There are some EXCELLENT games on the XBox - and console gaming is the future. This does not mean that all games are dumbed down for the masses - there will always be a market for games for intelligent gamers. Me and a few of my other friends bought XBoxes in the past 6 months and we all love it. XBox Live is just fantastic... DXIW, Return of the King, and several other games ALL played better on the XBox than the PC.
Anyway PC-only gamers are starting to remind me of the irrational people that only use Linux and bash Windows at every opportunity...
Those that don't change with the times are bound to be the old crotchety men with their plaid pants up around their man-breasts.
