Eidos' 'Thief Deadly
Shadows' Steals May 25 Ship Date in North America (thanks Frans) is the
announcement that ION Storm's third installment in the Thief series begun by
Looking Glass Games is complete for both PC and Xbox, and expected to meet its
planned May 26 in-store date. Here's a bit:
Thief: Deadly Shadows places you in the role of Master Thief Garrett, the quintessential anti-hero that steals from the rich and keeps for himself. In Thief: Deadly Shadows, Garrett finds himself assisting the Keepers, the secret society that trained Garrett in his youth. He is tasked with preventing a prophesised Dark Age from coming into fruition. Thief: Deadly Shadows was developed by Ion Storm, creators of the critically-acclaimed Deus Ex series.
Thief: Deadly Shadows will continue the Ion Storm tradition of open-ended emergent gameplay the studio is famous for. The freedom to choose a unique play style is what sets Thief: Deadly Shadows apart from any other game further immersing the player into the adventure. Thief: Deadly Shadows features a powerful physics system, startlingly smart AI, enhanced character modelling and animation, a groundbreaking sound propagation system and state- of-the art lighting and graphics for which Ion Storm is famous for.
I tried the first thief games and didn't like all that sneaking about. Maybe in this one they will give me the capacity to mow down the guards I come across? *grin
It would be cool if I could go through the halls without having to hide at all. Hopefully they have adjusted the gameplay to cater to someone with refined tastes like me. I can't wait to get this for my xbox!
Ah, sarcasm...I love it. You were being sarcastic right...right!?
But seriously, I'll pick up Thief 3 the day it comes out, but unlike DX2 I will not be deluding myself into believing that it's going to be everything I want it to be. I do have some hope though. DX2 was lousy because Ion Storm felt that they had to simplify everything for the console gamers and in that they lost what was the most acclaimed feature of Deus Ex, it's depth. With Thief the game play has always been straightforward and with stealth-action being such a popular genre right now we can only hope that Ion Storm didn't mess with the formula too much.
