I heard that there were no Hammerites in this game, is that true? No Hammerites, no buy.

This thread begs the question: are we focusing too much on Focus?

I'm waiting until I actually see some gameplay footage before passing judgement.

"Begging the question."

Just for future reference.


Also, game looks somewhat interesting. Hopefully we see some of the "helper" shit toggle-able in the options menu.

I'll likely get flamed for this, but I'd like the game better if it stayed away from the cults. One ancient mystical cult is silly enough, but three is pushing it. Less heard from them, the better. Just my opinion, of course.

After all of the outcry before HR came out about the object highlighting, I'm pretty sure Eidos Montreal will make anything like that optional. There were huge threads and petitions and everything dedicated just to asking EM to make it optional. They initially wanted to make it mandatory, but after all of the pushback from the community they made it optional.

I would think they would have learned from that to make anything like that optional for the player.

I think Missing Link is also a good sign that they listen to and implement feedback from their players.

Yeah, after rereading my post, I figured someone would call me out on that.

But those cults are part of what makes the Thief universe so interesting. Hammers = order, Pagans = chaos, Keepers = balance, and with the latter in the condition its in after the end of 3, I'm even more interested to see what happens to these factions in 4.

Whenever I think of the Hammers

I think of that guy who chased me for two minutes

underwater

Best game ever.

Man I reaaally hope they nail the sound design on this one, the ambient audio and music tracks were such a crucial part of the thick nighttime atmosphere of the original three. This game has a lot to live up to:

Trail of Blood - Thief 2
Framed - Thief 2
Auldale - Thief 3
Overlook Manse - Thief 3

Thief 3's music is still unparalleled for atmosphere.

this game has been in development for a VERY long period of time fyi.

I was being sarcastic. I've been waiting for years!

Oh man

Between Crysis 3, Tomb Raider and Far Cry 3 I can not get enough of awesome Bows and Arrows in games. That alone is enough to get my hyped, lol
