Its sat in my download que atm, So I havnt had a chance to look at it. But Ive been looking forward to this mod for a while.

wow, i have never heard of that mod/expansion pack before.

 

as much as i love t2 - isn't it kinda late for a mod using that engine?

 

then again i have played t2 just last spring and while it definetly looked dated it's was still acceptable and even had it's "oooh pretty!" moments.

 

kind regards

gleeful

Hello!

 

As far as I know, T2x is a very "old" project.

It may be, that the T2 engine is not up to date, but visual effects are half of a game.

Gameplay ist the other half. - And what I have seen in the trailer is great: new enemies, new weapons and great cut scenes.

Those guys got best out of that old and venerable T2 engine ;) .

I don't think so. I think I would've actually preferred to have Thief: Deadly Shadows be done on the old Thief 2 dark engine than how it was done. So, in some respects, I feel T2X will somewhat fulfill those wishes, even though the main character isn't Garrett.

 

Bottom line is that I've reinstalled and played Thief 2 every now and then several times since its launch, but I don't think I'll be doing the same with Thief 3. Thief 3's good, but just not the same. For me, gameplay is far more important than flashy or updated graphics and Thief 2 has stood the test of time. Hopefully some Thief 3 fan missions will inspire me to re-load Thief 3 and learn to appreciate that game/engine more. In the meantime, though, T2X will be fun to try and I look forward to jumping back into the Dark engine.

Is that niggle a gameplay thing, or just some hole in the plot or something? :)

Niether, you'll probably know exactly what i'm talking about when it's released. It's really nothing major at all, and definetly won't detract from the gameplay at all.

I think Thief 2x will push the Dark Engine to the limit and I can't wait to try it out.

I never really understood this need to push the Dark Engine to its limits.The concept holds about as much excitement as the speeding up an old lady's stairmaster. I just hope the game is good. :)

:) Well, I wouldn't put the dark engine in that same category. It had a lot of potential to build upon. We're still seeing neat tricks that it can pull off. Who knows what secrets are hidden within. To push it to the limit is to discover the unknown.

I've watched the trailer now. :)

 

In terms of architecture it isn't as impressive as the Hammerite Imperium, and I doubt I'll use any of those newfangled weapons. But as a solid sneaking experience it looks great, and should take its place alongside T1 and T2 rather than just being an expansion. The cut scenes looked great too.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
