chakkman 398 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I knew it, but, I was never interested in the original Prey, so, no complaints here that the reboot isn't quite what the Prey players expected. I can understand the confusion though. It's weird that they used the same name. I must say that Prey was probably under the top 5 of the best games I've played, ever, so, I don't think it deserves much of a slap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
New Horizon 524 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 12 hours ago, chakkman said: Yes, he did. Not sure about the "could have had" though. I think I remember that he declined to do the voice acting for Thief 2014. Not sure now though, I might be wrong. They had him. There was an unreleased Trailer that got leaked. He was brought in and considered but ultimately they dropped him because they wanted the voice actor playing Garrett to be able to do the motion capture nonsense. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluehawk 16 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 It's almost merciful though, because they would've had him reading an awful script. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I keep going back to it but get annoyed by the constraints of movement. No jumping, no mantling except on special surfaces, no rope arrows, the awful repetitive animations (beautifully made though). I stopped where you had to escape from a burning building. To this day I have not understood how they could screw it up so badly. But then I remember that someone from the forum once mentioned he met with Eidos people in Montreal and some of them didn't even know what Thief was. That certainly doesn't explain everything, but quite a lot. Edited February 14 by JackFarmer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chakkman 398 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Thanks to you all for making me feel like a complete weirdo now, because I actually like Thief 2014. Just kidding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do remember an interview either on tape or written, where some of the devs mentioned they were not fans of the stealth genre and Thief games in general. It would explain they high turnover rate at the dev house in Montreal. Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather. Link to post Share on other sites

The Thief Source code was given to them twice in order to try and get the right people to approve officially releasing it to the fans. They lost it both times. Infuriating. They were just the wrong people for the job. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just kidding. I also actually liked the game. Not enough to play it a second time, but I could see past the most annoying stuff and enjoyed it. Although I also have to say that the story was really shallow, especially compared to the older games. But stuff like not being able to jump all the time never bothered me that much. But maybe I am just too complacent... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No no, I fully understand your criticism, as I understand the criticism of the other people here. It's just that it didn't ruin the game for me, because, in my opinion, there's a lot to like in it. The game world is fantastic, for example, as are the visuals and atmosphere. Edited February 18 by chakkman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
