"Despite the prerequisite freaking out from the fans about how Garrett is clearly a ninja now – because gymnast = hired killer, apparently – having him go out of his way to race around the guard and escape shows an emphasis on non-violent play."
Mariel Hurd talks about the new Thief 4 trailer, how the series has always given you the option of playing violently, and why fears about it being another Assassin's Creed are largely unfounded.
"What actually we see in the new trailer is a sneaky Garrett who avoids killing the guard currently trying to slit his throat, who slinks backward into the shadows and moves delicately in his supple-soled shoes."
From outer space to stealing in Europe, The Epic Games Store has two free games you might like.
The Thief game series has had many ups-and-downs, and 2014's reboot showed a great deal of promise nearly a decade ago.
This would be such a great franchise to reboot. A darker game than Dishonored, but focused around stealth and large scale heists from an oppressive monarchy.
That's probably my dream game. I love immersive sims and stealth!
People say they hate forced stealth sections in games. But a game focused on stealth with good mechanics and level design feels refreshing from the guns blazing games which I also enjoy. I really enjoyed playing Splinter cell, a game that not many try to mimic today. Not too many games let you shoot lights out, or throw cans or bottles to distract guards. Sure there are games with stealth options like the new Wolfenstein but it doesn't feel necessary to play it that way. Hitman might be the only game that has that feeling, except for that Korean game that may or may not ever come out.
The last one was a trainwreck and has been in the bargain bin since just after launch. If they bring it back, they need a massive change in direction.
only direction they should take is putting it in reverse and going back to what the originals did. I couldn't finish this game, and I made a choice to never play it again. I watched a video about the og Thief and Deus Ex games and the current AAA standard will forever hold back these games. These 2 games alone had already solved so many problems with modern gaming that I don't think they'll get a chance at something great unless they're made by a dev that actually give a damn.
Jesus the last installment sells at about 2 euro and even that is over paying for it. Absolutely diabolical game
The online retailer Fanatical has not one but four new game bundles that should interest PC gamers.
That's just the thing, though: you don't need to have killing in a game for it to be good. The option is there, but I think it is more of a challenge (and reward) for the developer to put more options to get around a situation than for them to put more options to get through a situation, if you know what I mean.
Good.
I can't believe that people would actually go so far as to claim that the game is 'just another AC' after seeing some brief acrobatics. God forbid that a MASTER THIEF be agile...
Anyways, I enjoy how they give the choice to be lethal and non-lethal while still being able to complete the objective regardless of your choice. It just gives the game more depth. Plus, it makes you want to go back and replay it just so that you can use the method that you avoided using in your first playthrough.
The two games are not remotely alike. One you are an Assassin the other you are a Thief.... A thief is ment to still crap not run around killing everything in site....

"OMG dis ripps off AC!"
Said the mass of same-heads who think Halo was the first fps.
"having him go out of his way to race around the guard and escape shows an emphasis on non-violent play"
I forgot you couldn't run in AC. /S
Sorry, I'm just so cynical about any stealth games this gen. I've already been disappointed by Agent 47 and Sam Fisher. Plus, Thief 3 could have been better anyway.
