The reasoning behind third-person being implemented into 'Thief'

Traditionally, Thief is a first-person game, however; in the upcoming reboot of the series the director of the game revealed the reasoning behind why we will have certain third-person moments in the game.

Recently, Thief director Nicolas Cantin discussed the development team's thought process behind implementing some third-person into a largely first-person game.

I have no hope for this game being good.

Dynasty20214114d ago

As soon as I learnt that the maps/areas of the game are small, I'm no longer interested.

Yet ANOTHER PC game butchered to suit bloody consoles.

KonsoruMasuta4114d ago (Edited 4114d ago )

Wasn't Thief: Deadly Shadows on the original Xbox?

Lord_Sloth4114d ago

Yet consoles aren't the reason it was butchered. Consoles have supported vastly superior maps to this. TES and GTAV for example. This is a half assed decision by the devs to get out of more work.

raWfodog4114d ago

It's more than likely a decision made to meet deadlines.

Qrphe4114d ago

Map size isn't an issue, the problem is the apparent streamlining of the mechanics

Lamigol104114d ago (Edited 4114d ago )

Dynasty2021 ... You make me laugh ... you try to come across all "PC elitist" but you are just another attention seeking nobody. I am sure you live in a sprawling mansion, drive the best car money can buy and are surrounded by sex hungry playboy bunnies ..... you have it all .. including your dogs bo****ks gaming rig !! ha .. bet the bunnies are wet when they see your setup !!
Grow up ... did it ever occur to you that owning a console over pc is a "choice" . Money is not a factor for me but I choose to buy what I want.
Im sure people would laugh at your fashion sense / house / stained pants or whatever !!

So its only few parts with 3rd view?? Not intresting!!

Raf1k14114d ago

The fewer the better.

Stealth games are vastly improved in first person as you don't get to see around corners. You have to actively peek and listen to your surrounding to know whether it's safe.

i still wish this was 3rd person mode..

Thief - Taken From Us Too Soon

The Thief game series has had many ups-and-downs, and 2014's reboot showed a great deal of promise nearly a decade ago.

Notellin646d 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!

Noskypeno646d ago

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.

isarai646d ago

You should try the Sniper Elite games, so good, especially with coop

Notellin645d ago

Same here. I'm glad there are some other people who enjoy these types of games!

@isarai I tried Sniper Elite 5 and ended up really enjoying that one. Went back and played 4 as well!.

ModsDoBetter646d ago (Edited 646d ago )

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.

Inverno646d ago

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.

monkey602646d ago

Jesus the last installment sells at about 2 euro and even that is over paying for it. Absolutely diabolical game

SimpleSlave646d ago

Ups and Down? More like Up, UP, Pot Hole, Free Fall into the Abyss...

Rutaprkl646d ago

Thief Deadly Shadows remaster would be awesome.
