The Daily Telegraph gives it a savaging only a literate newspaper can accomplish.   Also, there is this bit!

With regards to being able to jump/mantle everywhere as opposed to only at set areas, some argue that having complete freedom of movement might allow the player to get somewhere that was not considere

So apparently, Basso communicates with Garrett by sending his talking Magpie up to Garrett's clock-tower home, presumably to give him new missions.

For this purpose they implemented qte-insta-kill, and it was damned, too. (For a good reason, IMHO). I don't think that such behaviour has anything to do with stealth gameplay, so I don't mind if the devs wouldn't give me the possibility to do this.

 

But if you are after such things, I suggest playing AC ;)

 

I don't much care for the kind of stealth gameplay that the Assassin's Creed games offer. I am not the traditional Thief/Dark Mod player. Sometimes I really like being a Thief, and never be seen or even knockout anyone. But other times I like being an assassin of sorts; a predator. I don't always want to feel like prey as a Thief. There are combat and killing mechanics in the Thief Games and The Dark Mod. Sometimes I like to use them. Jumping over obstacles and killing an enemy falls within those mechanics.

 

Thanks for the AC suggestion though :smile:

 

It doesn't seem like "Garrett" will have a sword in "Thief" anyhow :angry:

I like being an assassin sometimes too; but I don't want a game where I just push a button and the game takes over and does it for me.

I feel the same way Springheel. The point of my last post was to say how I want to be able to jump whenever I want; which would allow me to jump over obstacles and land with a stealth attack. I'm not sure how my post lead you to believe that I wanted Assassin's Creed-style insta-kills, but I do realize that I'm not always good at conveying my thoughts :P

I didn't think that's what you were saying; but that's how Thief4 seems to be handling it.

That's too bad. If The Dark Mod didn't exist, I think that I would be very angry and sad about how "Thief" is turning out. I'm only just a little bothered now ;)

Nu-Garrett's monologue makes him sound like the bastard child of (Nolan's) Batman and The Crow.

 

I guess that's what's hip these days. No more antihero badassery.

The Crow wasn't even hip in 1994.

I've never tried this, but it would be nice to see something like that in a video, as I imagine this is pretty difficult to do.

That's pretty cool, you'll even get a separate ''knockout while airborne'' stat for it on your ending screen. B)

 

Also, holy baloney, Life of the Party is blocky. I forgot how much, even though it already bothered me ten years ago. :unsure:

Beleg from TTLG got to see a new demo a few days ago:

 

 

You will be pleased to hear that the floating hands were tweaked quite a bit and don't disturb the field of view at all IMHO

 

I believe the door handle animations were tweaked, too, it looked more natural IIRC.

 

A strong narrative seems to be one of the core elements of the new game, although I got the impression that the element of experiencing the story on your own might be less important than in the previous games (and in general this do-things-on-your-own vs. we-prepared-it-for-you conflict in all areas of the game).

At this point, it already seems like the least of Thi4f's troubles. <_<

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
