How do you jump properly?

[Blackram67]

I'm getting a bit frustrated here. There are several places where I just can't jump properly. I don't know if it's as a result of using a keyboard and mouse, rather than a game controller. Currently I'm in a second chapter, trying to jump at the meathook All I end up doing is falling down. I was watching a walk-thru video with some guy playing it on a PS4, and it was so effortless for him.

Any suggestions for us PC users?

nah ...not all the time...just this time...lol...the swooping mechanic is alot of fun, gives the game something new to try...like you said, those other games didnt do much of anything new and thief 2014 did alot of new things...so please make up my mind, do you like new things added to a game or the same old thing over and over again....i cant figure out which you want atm.

WHAT NEW THINGS?! Please, list new things in Thief 2014 over Thief 1/2/3 but swoop and new graphics (and obviously new levels/characters/etc.), just pure mechanics.

When ppl buy a new game from an established series, they expect more of the same with some improvements and modernisations and not some COMPLETELY NEW THINGS.

Bloodraven just said that Thief 2014 did - I quote - "a lot of new things"; you can check it, he said so. I want to know what those new things are. Because I saw two of them, and absence of lots of other things that were actually present.

Sorry, but all three playstyles are valid for Thiefs 1-3. They just inform you on how you played in Thief 4 (like you don't know it yourself). Something else?

your so funny....the thing people like you complain about is the cinematics and the smalleer maps here and there...that`s rediculous...thief 2014 is a fun game. im pretty glad it was more immersive this time around then the 1st 2 were for me. i enjoyed thief 3 also.

Don't change the topic. Gameplay-wise, what were those "lots of things" added to Thief 2014? At the moment you listed 0 and I listed 2. Both numbers pootly correspond to "lots". Oh, yr)s, I will add one more - focus. It is useless, but still. So now we know of 3 additions. What else?

Game mechanic ... Which to this day still makes no sense why they did this.

In this piece of crap you cannot jump. You have to go to a position where devs decided you CAN jump and jump there. Also, to kump off ledges you must use in some cases space, in some - X, and in some you'll fall off.

I had no idea that I was stepping into a controversial topic, I really didn't know how to catch that meathook until now. But I've just figured it out. You have to go to the ledge just under the meathook, and look up and then a message will pop-up telling you to press "E" key. I kept trying to make a running start and jump towards it, and apparently you don't need to do that in this situation.

Yes, I've been reading around, it looks like there were previous versions of the game. I did not know that before, this is the first ever Thief game I've played (or even heard about). So I can't compare it to the previous versions. However, I can compare it to Dishonoured, which I played before this one. How in the world, did they get these two games so similar, if they were supposedly developed completely independently? I kinda prefer Dishonoured still, so far.

Dishonored was developed as a partial spiritual successor to Thief with involvement of several original Thief developers.

You can't. The target audience for this game would be overtaxed if they were given the ability to jump in the game.

dishonored is a fun game. i beat it on my ps3 and rebought the game of the year edtion here on steam. i play video games to relax and get away from the grind of real life...lol...so for me, i take each game on it`s own merit. thief 2014 was fun, so was dishonored. i like them both.

btw...there is a texture mod for thief 3 deadly shadows. it will play in widescreen/1080. you should check out that game...not as story driven with cinematics like thief 2014 but also alot of fun and cheap when steam has a sale.

To answer your question, you don't jump on those hooks. When they approach you you'll get an 'E' prompt to use them, press it and Garrett will grab on to the hook.

As for jumping in general, as others have said there isn't really any jumping in the game, only scripted spots where [spacebar] will trigger an animation. If you're having trouble with some jumps, such as jumping over a chasm, don't try to run and press [spacebar] at just the right time. Either walk up to the edge and press it while standing still, or if this doesn't work, FIRST press [spacebar] and then walk or run to the jump spot while keeping it pressed.
