what is thief ]I[ ??

I think he is referring to Thief 3. The Thief series is one of the very best of the very best. The quality of T1 and T2 are second to none when it comes to plot and story line.

I am so excited

... and originality and feeling.

It's been years since I played both games. I can hardly wait for the third to come out! But I thought Looking Glass went out of buissness.

That was a good company. Made System Shock 2 and other amazing games.

Hooray! More Thief! :D

Sythe, a number of Looking Glass employees that were responsible for T1 and T2 were hired by Ion Storm to specifically work on Thief 3.

Ans Vedran you are soooooo correct about originality and feeling. There is just nothing like it out there. It is a series idea that stands alone. What other game/series can you say that is so stand alone?

Aren't they just calling it Thief?

Thief started sneak em ups, not any other game. It was just so damn sneaky no one noticed it do it.

Lets see- Real shadows, moving lights, more gadgets, improved stuff. And of course the good old guards chatting.

I hope Benny is back, he was the coolest.

It is funny that Sold-Out lists Thief under Shoot 'em up games...

I hope that the third one would be more realistic than its prequels. There were some weird situations.

For example Vedran?

I've only played the demos for both of them :D

Some things that always bothered me in Thief (2):
-Garret appears to wear metal boots. Every step echoes to the roof. If I were a thief, I would wrap my shoes with cloth or whatever thieves do.
-Guards always know that that's me making noise. They never think that that could be another guard.
-Garret has no shadow.
-Climbing key is the same as jumping key. So if it turns out that I cannot climb on that particular box, I will alert the guards with my metal boots.
-I cannot kill unconscious foes. Sometimes I can with the sword, but not always.
-An arrow kills a guard if he is unaware even in his leg (not every one, though). But if he is running for me, and I shot him in the face, he survives!?
-A kick with blackjack in the leg makes a person unconscious!?
-Garret runs very slow with a sword in his hand, but while it is sheated, it doesn't bother him!?
-Stepping through windows is very hard thing to do, nearly impossible.
-Garret cannot get off ladders or rope without jumping upwards.
-Footprints in snow? Forget it.
-Wet marks on the floor after swimming? Duke3D had those.
-I cannot put out a torch without water, but I can light some of them without fire.

He wears leather shoes. The only time you get the metallic sound is when you're walking/running (not sneaking) on a metal surface, incidentally such as a roof.
Actually they do. You'll hear stuff like "Is that you, sir?", "Was that you?", "Did you say something?" and the overused "Must be rats..".
Yeah I don't think the dromed supported shadows,,,I see your point though, Thief and all [img]smile.gif[/img] .
Irritates the hell outta me too.
I usually stick to the bow since Garrett's more proficient with it.
Well..yes. But that's surprise attack they're trying to justify, the whole sneaky rogue thing ya know. In the shock of being spotted we can safely say Garrett cannot aim correctly as his talent lies in skulking in shadows and using shock/surprise attacks from there.
Damn clunky game engine [img]smile.gif[/img] .
Well Garrett not only carries a sword, but a whole load of stuff, a bow, flashbombs, flares, sets of keys, all manner of fruits, vegetables and breads and STILL he manages to creep round with ease, move silently in shadows and sprint away weightlessly. :D
Not for a trained cat-burglar.
Hehe, yeah that's our Garry.
Cursed engine!
Easily done too, guess Garrett is waterproof also.
Quite the talent you have there [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Thief 3 is coming out in a bit. Looking Glass Studios is no more so it's being handled by another group (of which many of the former Looking-Glass people now work). Looks good though, new engine is spiffy enough.

1. Have you ever tried running with a sword in you hand and not injuring yourself? Of course you are going to slow down.

2. I have to disagree with that :D
