Thief 2014 is a better game than Dark Project and Metal Age.

Haters are just old heads with nostalgia glasses of the old games. (Yes, i did play the old games)

Watching youtubers is not research. Looking Glass shut down, Ion Storm shut down.

And reboot is a failure, compared to the rest.

Just like the OGs. Thief was never a success.

They were successful and sold well why do you think 3 games were made if they weren’t successful?

Based on all your responses I doubt you grew up or even played the originals to make a bait topic like this.

Where’s the devs at? At least Eidos is still going.

They closed, doesn’t mean the games weren’t successful. It couldn’t make up for the other games that came up short. Again 3 games before the reboot which killed all interest in the ip.

Edios hasn’t made a new game in 3 years guardians didn’t sell all that well.

You “fans” killed the ip. Yall got so upset cause a 2014 game doesn’t play like an outdated 1998 game.

[Bankai9212]

No one “killed” the ip, it would never sell enough to satisfy square like all the other western ips they purchased. It being stealth didn’t help either given how niche the genre is.

But yeah blame “fans” for a game that didn’t appeal to them, could have made new fans guess it failed at that.

Only outdated aspect of the old games is visuals. Again seems like you never played any of them. Plus given the reboots age it’s just as outdated.

I mean Looking Glass only truly made Thief 1 and 2. Thief 3 and 4 were completely different developers. Thief 4 turned out pretty well, but I think the character design and different voice actor is what killed the IP. While I don't hate the new character design or voice actor, you can tell all the old school fans do, and the oldschool Thief games are just not tailored to modern audiences who can't appreciate good games like Thief 1 and 2. They just want combat and instant gratification.

[Bankai9212]

They also made ultima underworld series as well. They had some great games but also plenty of underperforming games. Ion storm while a different dev team did have some of the old looking glass devs on it.

Reboot had no one from the og team. But yes pure stealth isn’t something that sells while you need to have combat options as well.

I agree Square sale goals was impossible.
I blame the “fans” too. Yall were such crybabies about this game just like them Silent Hill “fans” were crying about Silent Hill 2 Remake. Thank God SH2R did sell.

[Bankai9212]

Don’t blame consumers for not buying a game that doesn’t appeal to them, stealth games are like that.

Silent hill 2 is a remake not a reboot, clearly that game got new fans to succeed unlike the reboot. Heck Fallout 3 was successful and that was completely different from the first 2 games.

The reboot flopped, pointing blame it’s childish.

Except the game was great, the target audience was not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Blaming good games for ♥♥♥♥♥♥ audiences that don't buy it is childish.

[Bankai9212]

What someone likes is subjective, commercially it flopped and it was seen a mid for most who played it.

Regardless of what people find good or bad sales determine a games success. Don’t blame people for not buying a game they aren’t interested in that’s business.

[Judeo-communism]

And look at that business now, where we're flooded with garbage games because of people with garbage tastes. It's really not hard to understand that good games don't sell because good gamers are rare. Good games that sell bad > bad games that sell well.
