Thief Gets
Release Date on IGN reports receiving an official release date from Eidos
for Thief: Deadly Shadows, ION Storm's upcoming third installment in the
stealthy Thief series that began at Looking Glass Studios. According to the
story, the game is expected for release on both the PC and Xbox on May 26,
though the territories covered on that date are not specified.
I don't know how much it costs to develop a game these days, but I'm sure the budget for these two titles is well into the millions. I can't believe actually saying this, but appealing to a bigger fan base can be a good thing.
DX:IW didn't appeal to a bigger fanbase. It appealed to the fanbase of "I like to play crap". I am much more excited about this game after reading the preview at IGN. Now granted the textures don't look the sharpest, but this is due to bloom, or a mildly dated graphics style (Something the series is known for). Lets just cross our fingers (I hope the first mission and training session come as a demo. The first two games had great demos and this game should be no exception).
