Ehh, I've mostly enjoyed my short time with it, as a moody game where you can clamber about and swoop and pick locks and steal shit under guard's noses. The first person stuff feels good, and I've disabled all the aids and playing on master with fail-on-detection and no-kills or knockouts is providing the right level of tension.
Technically though, the game is poor in every measure. Long load times, loads of framerate drops, severe audio issues (no sounds, followed by random lines from guards down the street as if they were barking into your ears, only to be cut off mid word and back to the silence again), and shitty lip synching. Its unimpressive for last gen, so its doubly so when it chugs on the PS4.
But the formula itself seems like a decent one so far (open worldish, striking out from your bell tower nest and swooping onto the rooftops and skulking through alleyways in search of lucre from story missions and side jobs), as does the atmosphere, so it at least has me intrigued.

There's no mention of it in the store update, or in the new 'Blockbuster Deals' sale. They might slip it in when the update goes live, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I was a big fan of the Thief series, Deadly Shadows was my favourite. Can any Thief veterans tell me if this game is decent? It got mixed reviews but I heard that playing it on the hardest difficulty makes it feel more Thiefy. What were the major problems with it, other than the boring story/characters?

Here's my question. Buy BOTH Thief and TR or buy Infamous (which is 69.99 in here in canada )

I was about the same thing.
$30 PSN = $30 XBL Dont see how Sony beat MS again. Obvious fail.

The game is pretty bad. Enemy variety is slim, loading times horrendous, animations for every single loot item and drawer you open, dialouge for NPCs are 3 recycled lines. It feels like a chore to just play the thing imo.
OT: Glad I traded it in for MGS already. Got 30 credit at GS for it and only had to pay .60 for Ground Zeros.
Tomb Raider seemed like a longer game than inFAMOUS. Just so you know.

Cool. I'm kind of a graphics and story whore though. which looks better? I don't really care about lenght
Man, I was considering buying it and giving up on the PS3 version. You reminded me of why I shouldn't waste any more money on it. Thank you!
@MaximusPrimus: Get inFAMOUS. It's brilliant.

Infamous x 1000. It's the best looking game ever released on consoles, can anyone argue that?

Tomb Raider is $30, too.

I've read that if you turn off some of the aids that help the player, and turn up the difficulty, it makes a huge difference if you're looking for a challenge.

Infamous looks better no doubt, but TR has its own high points. The fire and wind effects especially are really well done.

Infamous looks prettier but I think I prefer the gameplay of Tomb Raider.

I'm tempted to get this for PS3 but plan on getting a PS4 within the next few months. This isn't cross-buy for both, is it?

I am really undecided on this, for those who played it, is it worth the heavily reduced price of admission or should I just double dip on TRE?
Thief isn't a bad game, but it's not very good either. I'd recommend waiting for it to hit $20.
Same. I've already beaten TR on PS3 but I think I'll be giving the PS4 version more attention than inFamous.

I feel like I'm the only person on GAF that actually enjoys Thief.

If you take a lot of screenshots, it could be a buildup of videos. Those are saved at the same time. I delete them.
inFamous, easily. But Tomb Raider DE was pretty.

If it's your type of game, absolutely. The first few hours are a bit too much of a cinematic flow, but after that it really hits it's stride and keeps going. Gorgeous game on top of that.

So it's going to be my game of the year?

Absolutely if you've never played it. PS3 version is free on plus, so try it, but if you like it spring for the PS4 version. Totally worth it IMO.
Thanks, that's good news!
It's showing as £49.99 for me right now but if it is on sale hopefully it will drop in price soon and I'll pick it up.

It's just randomly alternating between 69,99 and 34,95 depending on which device I'm using. On PC it was 69,99, then I checked it out through my iPhone's Playstation app and it was 69,99 too on the Mobile version of the site. Then I changed to Desktop version and bam, 34,95! Bought it in a heartbeat.

It's 35€ for PS4 in the EU Store (includes some DLC mission).
The dlc mission was included in the $30 us sale as well.
I just bought it via the website as it was showing as £24.99 for me, maybe it's a server/cache/store updating issue and it takes a while for every server to update.
