NowGamer: "It's no secret that Dishonored is a game heavily influenced by Thief and the two certainly invite comparisons. We explain how, in learning from the Thief series, Dishonored graduates from student to master."
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
It’s a shame, really, that so few games have “borrowed” Dishonored’s Blink – in the right hands, such a power could be game-changing.
There was a small game called Aragami that “borrowed” the blink, that was a good game.
Unfortunately I heard the sequel wasn’t good so I stayed away from trying it out.
The sequel changed some of the mechanics from the first game but it was still a very polished and enjoyable experience. You should definitely give it a shot sometime. The game's currently on sale on Steam
Okay thanks for the heads up, will look out for it being on sale one day.
I really did like the first and played it back to back as soon as I finished the first play through.
Great title!
To answer the question: Thief is not the Thief fans remember from the last 3 games, so this one that used the title is just a poor man's version of Dishonored. Dishonored was inspired by the old Thief games, that fans hope the new Thief was inspired by. Maybe the Developers who made Dishonored should have develop the new Thief instead.
Dishonored influenced by many other games, it's simply a compilation of other games and people treat it like it is mostly an original game which thief devs copied from. Tho I really can't see any similarity other that art direction. If anyone thinks it's much more than that, then I dont believe they played earlier thief games.
Stupid eidos montreal guys should just have removed the blue layer from the game(shoulda made it green like it was in thief3 or whatever else) cos people started talking about how it looks like dishonored right from first trailer, before even seeing any gameplay.
Dishonored is a bit fantasy in the other hand thief is more realistic so it is hard to compare between them in terms of gameplay .
thief Story is better and more interesting than dishonored story .
Same game different skin or no?
Tired of hearing all the comparisons between Thief and Dishonored. Once Dishonored released, it seemed like no one would shut up about how similar to BioShock it was. Just shut up and enjoy both!
