Ode to Thief?

[Bikerdude]

 

This was done by our very own Saturnine, who does it remind you of..?

What has Carmageddon to do with Thief?

Does it mean the new version is ready?

[Bikerdude]

look at the picture closely and see what Sats has done..

[SeriousToni]

No I won't! If I do so, there will pop up some scary demon face for sure!!

[Springheel]

I don't see it. Both are smiling and both are at least partially bald...is that it?

[Bikerdude]

in Sat's image its the scar and the glowing eye (albeit on the wrong side)

Looks like this to me, other than the hand.

This game was even out before Thief

@SeriousToni: That's an image for the new Carmageddon.

 

But yeah, I don't see that it's meant to be a tribute, could be, but the scar and the glowy eye should be on the same eye... *shrug*

well as the artist of said image is one of the all time best thief authors (Saturnine) and he confirmed this when I asked him about it, we can conclude it is in fact a nod to Garret/Thief.

[SeriousToni]

Oh you know him personally? Cool!

However Carmageddon was released before Thief, so it could only be the other side round

OK. This is how it is: Old Carmageddon with this image (already posted by Jesps) http://upload.wikime...ageddon_box.jpg -> Thief comes out -> New Carmageddon with Saturnine's image posted in the opening post. The new image is apparently a tribute of sorts to Thief, but very similar to the old Carmageddon image.

The old image has the same scar and the same mechanical eye.

 

And the Thief racing screen is fuckin' hilarious!! xD

[GameDevGoro]

The old image has the same scar and the same mechanical eye.

 

Yeah... *Shrug*

 

No wait a minute. I don't think the old image is supposed to have any mechanical augmentations...

This is a very mysterious case, don't you think Mr. GameDevGoro?

 

Haha!
