'Thief's Xbox One Kinect and PS4 microphone features explained

Last November saw the release of Microsoft and Sony's new home consoles. As the eighth console cycle is still in its infancy, many early adopters are still wondering how developers will take advantage of the new hardware. Examiner.com recently sat down with Daniel Windfeld Schmidt, who acted as the lead level designer on the Thief reboot, and asked him how the upcoming title would utilize these systems' unique features.

I wonder if Steel Batillion would work as it should have worked on Kinect 2.0

OC_MurphysLaw4104d ago

Doubt we will ever know. Given how bad the UI was designed for the cockpit and how poor the levels were...not sure I want to know. And that is coming from a fan of the series and Mech games in general. I would rather see another Chrome Hounds to be honest.

Hexer10214104d ago

I really wish they would try again. Steel Battalion could have been pretty fun had the Kinect 1 worked as well as it should have. I can def see Kinect 2.0 being just what they need to get it to work right.

SITH4104d ago

You poor deprived person. I played the original steel battalion. It should have never been mated with kinect without the large controller and pedals. If you never played the original steel battalion, you will never understand what was missed.

honestly one of the few things i've been waiting for since games have been using microphones

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.

Notellin658d 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!

Noskypeno658d 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.

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

Notellin657d 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!.

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.

Inverno658d 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.

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

SimpleSlave658d ago

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

Rutaprkl658d ago

Thief Deadly Shadows remaster would be awesome.
