We'd been hearing rumors that the new Thief was in trouble, which made for a worrisome combination with the findings of our columnist/sleuth Superannuation, who last June dug up a distressing amount of turnover at the game's developer Eidos Montreal. A new report at Polygon backs up those earlier concerns, describing a laborious creative process, conflicting visions, high-level staff turnover and a generally troubled development for the high-profile sequel.
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!
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.
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.
if these are true then the game might actually really be in trouble, it could crash or freeze or even lag. I probably will have to wait for the reviews first this time...
So, basically, lose all your expectations for this game to be good.
Great. I loved Deus Ex Human Revolution, and was REALLY looking forward to their next game. Now it's seeming like in the end, they're probably just going to throw a bunch of unorganized/unpolished ideas together just to get it released like many other devs have done.
Ugh. What the hell is going on over there?
Not cool.
