awesome if it is...

[ungoliant]

i hope its not for the reasons stated in the article.

[stumpy]

that white thing down the bottom looks like a magnifying glass, there's a + and slanted minus icon on the bottom left side of the screen looks kind of xboxish, there's a red blob at top of screen in middle with some text next to it it either says elapsed time or something else, its also very bright where the thief is standing, there's no light gem and the thief looks female. I thinks its an assassin clone. It might actually be multiplay mode, the big building at the back is two buildings you can see an allay running between them.

 

after fiddling with the image, its says something like blur elapsed 90% next to red blob.

 

although looking at it longer it looks as if the thief's in a building looking out of a window the black post coming out his/her head looks like a window frame, or being really odd the thiefs looking at some monitors showing a street scene, and that image of a bow isn't a bow its actually somethng else.Its that strange blue cast the image has that makes it look as if the thief's looking at a tv image.

If it's what it looks like, it almost looks like it's going to be a MW2 rail-story mess. Not sure that's a real quicktime event, but whatever "Time Elapsed"... heeehhhh

[Berny]

... doesn't look that bad..

 

*waiting for a better pic to say more about T4*

I'm seeing a 1st person POV. And the "first person" is about to dagger some archer?

 

What ever it is... it's a terrible thing to leak/haveleak/fakeleak... and the speculation is quite dismal and quite irresponsible.

 

But if the speculation is to be considered?

 

*The 3rd person thing is a FUCKING NIGHTMARE. 3rd person sucks. I cannot understand why anyone likes it over 1st person.

 

*The other bits of speculation are each quite miserable too... or entirely nonsensical...

[Xarg]

It said the archery (and some other bits) are gonna be in third person, so unless that's a kill-cam.... you're the archer :/

[Aprilsister]

No. If what has been speculated is true. If that is the way it is going to be. Then I am most definitely NOT the archer... or the Th4if... or the customer.

 

I am, at that point, The Derider.

companies like microsoft and sony prefer their games to be played 3rd person, so games companies are more likly to go with what console makers want. Although the image actually looks like deadspace with a victorian hoodie rogue/assassin theme.

I would think archery would be one of the worst times to have 3rd person perspective.

[Diego]

It's in third person game, alright.

 

Usually 3rd person games go to 1st person camera to shoot, if they change the camera at all. Wouldn't make sense if it were the other way around.

It looks like splinter cell conviction in medieval decorations to me....

I need at least 5 of the following features before I even ~consider~ buying it:

• Bullet time
  
• Nightvision or other senses
  
• Achievements
  
• "Cover system" and quick-time events
  
• A squad of horrible AI that follow you around
  
• A love interest related storyline
  
• Boss fights, preferably with building size bosses you can climb up while attacking them
  
• Faction replaced with arabs/vietnamese/russians
  
• Celebrity voice acting which consumes 85% of the budget
  

 

Nah, but I bet they'll do most of them anyway

Arrow time where the camera follows the arrow to each target.

Ditched the rope arrow in favour of a grappling hook fired via a shoulder shooter.

You get a choice of coloured hoodies.

Yo dude, I'sh be ragging, word, street speak.

[lost_soul]

... and the player can use rope arrows to bring guards to his location too. I can just hear Garrett yelling "Come here!"...

working title - Thief Cell's Creed : Tactical Hitman Action

[Komag]

haha, that title cracks me up!

[SeriousToni]

Is that Call Of Duty?

 

..

[Sterlino]

This is truly a nightmare for me.

 

I expected anything except another 3rd person shooter like thief3 (almost it was).

 

Should i do what they would not to do ?

Thief 5 ?

 

lol omg, this is a real nightmare folks.. hehe

The city looks cool but that placeholder for the main character is just bad. They should of waited imo.

They intended on waiting! this is leaked material

Looking at this again, I like how open & big the area is. That's an improvement over TDS. And it suggests the missions may have multiple paths and be non-linear. And the assets look good, better than TDS. Just looking on the bright side. Still probably more of the same gameplay-wise, which is still better than most FPS.

Game day will be judgement day. I can't judge anything based on that. We'll find out.

There is a new Thi4f storyboard artwork over at Thief Universe. The site is hardly accessible, that's why I'm posting the pics here. Enjoy!
