Xpstar:
Meet Another Potential Killer App for PlayStation 4
Many of you may be unfamiliar with Thief. Fie upon you for that. Fie, I say! (Whatever ‘fie’ means.) This stealthtacular sneak em’ up franchise never ascended to the heights of a Metal Gear Solid or Assassin’s Creed in the popularity stakes, but its dedicated following is rabid with anticipation for the PS4 reboot (some fans have indeed contracted ACTUAL RABIES, such is their excitement).
Jo from GamersFTW writes: 'Picture this: there you are on a sunny Sunday afternoon playing a video game, relaxing, having fun. Then all of sudden something jumps at you from off screen, or makes the most horrific noise known to man and you find yourself staring in horror at what just happened on your television screen. Jump scares, love them or hate them they always make you feel uneasy but strangely wanting more.'
Number seven made me laugh – ‘Outlast – The Whole Game’
I think the spin off, Whistle Blower, was actually scarier though.
Nice to see the Piano from Mario in there too, definitely one to remember.
My personal favourite was from Resident Evil 3, when you're in the relative calm of the police station and then - BAM!! - out of nowhere Nemesis smashes through that tiny window at the bottom of the staircase.
Man I jumped so much my controller flew up in the air, Jill was butchered, and I couldn't recollect myself for hours afterwards. Classic.
What a great idea for a feature!!! Would of liked to have send Silent Hill and Until Dawn... scary stuff
Omg the Resident Evil dogs gave me nightmares! One part of the game I dreaded the most.

I hope this one lives up to the stealthiness of the other games, and also maintains the magic side of the series. The screens have shown a more mechanical world, but I still hope some supernatural elements take hold with the story (which tend to be rather eerie, Shalebridge Cradle as an example), and that we can encounter the Pagans/Hammerites.
Please don't go the route of some other stealth franchises as of late. I'm worried, especially after SE complained about the sales of their western franchises (which weren't bad at all), that they might make it appeal to absolutely everybody, and lose the essence of a Thief game.
