If half-life 3 has no bow when its unveiled, it will flop.
Off-topic FACT.
Off-topic FACT.
It should be unveiled out of the blue with no arg what so ever.
Followed by an ARG to unlock it's release.

Thief: Silent Whispers... EXCLUSIVE FOR PS4 & PC
Same. Most of my experience in the stealth genre originates from early Splinter Cell and Hitman games. I hope they bring something fundamentally new to the table though in terms of mechanics.
Having recently played Dishonored, I don't know how much more sitting in a corner, wringing my hands or crouch walking for stretches behind guards I can do. Despite what all those cool kill videos would lead you to believe, that was still the majority of my time with that game and it felt... stale. A lot of that was the AI as well, now that I think about it. Nothing like a whole courtyard going on alert because a guard caught a glimpse of me out of his peripheral vision 0.2 seconds before I stabbed him in the neck.
Thief 2 III: Garrett Returns (hopefully with none of the shitty levels)

No half-life 4 confirmed. All we'll get is a measly half-life 3.

They should pull a MGS 2 with this one. Have all the previews show you playing as Garret...
THEN BAM! When you play the game, the protagonist is actually the girl that pickpockets from Garret at the end of Deadly Shadows. Her master Garret has gone missing and she must find out where!
They should take a page out of Mirror's Edge and have some agile running, jumping and climbing

Interesting that this comment is coming from a Canadiens/Habs fan, when Eidos Montreal is in the rumors

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Cool. Hoping some of those Human Revolution good vibes have hit the project.
Tomorrow Derrick01 meltdowns. It will be a sandbox game that focus on rookie Thief(Tm) Jhon McThief that works for the Thieves Guild. "McThief! You are a loose cannon, but you are a damn good cat burglar"
In all seriousness, they managed to make Deus Ex just right, which I doubt even Spector can pull off these days.

Hahaha. People expecting some grand return of the series? This doesn't have a chance. Consider yourselves lucky if there's even a crouch button and you can hide in shadow.

If they approach this the same way they approached Deus Ex:HR, I'll be a happy bunny. Derrick will probably be pissed anyway because the run-speed doesn't feel right or something.

I don't expect anything after the Tomb Raider and Hitman debacle... but I hope. Oh, how i hope.
Modern gaming design ruins everything that has ever been good about games

I'm predicting a lot of shooting, more shooting, and then a QTE that shows your character actually doing sneaky shit to finish the mission while you sit and watch.
P.S. Fuck QTE.

Hopefully they don't Assassin's Creed it all up and it actually stays true to it's predecessors.
Hell even Deadly Shadows, Deadly Shadows had Shalebridge Cradle and that was great. All they need to do is make another at least as good as Deadly Shadows?
See? Low expectations! They can't fail.

You mean the remove a bunch of stuff that made the original great approach?
Expecting something like Deus Ex HR is probably the best case scenario for this game, but yeah that's still nowhere near as good as a proper sequel/prequel/reboot would be.
Nice passing off my criticism as something minor like run speed when there are serious fundamental design flaws in HR.

How do you feel about a turret section?

No, I mean keep true to the spirit of the original game while successfully updating and improving upon aspects of the game that needed to be improved upon.
Boss battles sucked, but the original DX had awful combat in general.
Guerrillas in the Mist

There are some decent-sized flaws in HR, but DX wasn't perfect either. The combat was god-awful even back when it was released, and the level design gets generally weaker and more linear as the game goes on. It's still one of the greatest games of all time, but a good update/reboot/spiritual sequel should not unquestioningly copy ever aspect of it without changing anything.
They should copy the level design of the original though. As it turned out you just enter a room and look for the hackable door or the vent, it's too linear and what exploration and secrets are in the game is too easy to discover. Skills and lockpicking needs to come back and they need to drastically re-tool the level up system so you don't unlock 90% of the skill tree before the game is over. There should be choices and consequences for the choices, that's what made Deus Ex 1 so great. You pick lockpicking you probably can't get your computer skill up unless you want to completely sacrifice most other skills.

I wonder how many tacticool stealth takedowns will be in the reveal trailer.

I'll say it again. I'm a Theif not a knight in armor. The character should be agile and fast.
I should be able to leap onto the back of a guard and stab him in the throat but his dying screams attract other guards so I jump to a window sill and climb inside where I slide under a bed...
I want to swing on a chandelier Errol Flynn style...
