Seriously, am I the only one who's excited?

[.]

It almost seems like everywhere I look, everyone is hating this games because of that one demo! I mean, from what I saw of the demo, it did seem kinda linier, but in the start, it did basically show the path your supposed to take, and at the end he says "Its a big house... better start in the library" That sounds like the mansion part wont be so linier, and who can forget that free roam open world city? that was fun in deadly shadows, but now imagine that like a million times bigger, and in mind blowing graphics! and I'm sure that deadly shadows jump glitch wont be in this one (The one where if you jumped in front of something trying to climb it, and garret did'nt climb it so the game just thought he was falling, so you'd just fall forever in the middle of the air forever) plus the new voice actor sounds like he'll do garret justice. and garret looks pretty good with that new cape on, and his bow looks pretty cool too, I really can't wait to play this game! I also am looking excited for the bank hiest mission, because I love challenge maps in games, just in generall. I always thought that trying to beat other players scores was always fun, and now thief is gonna have that! I'm so excited, and I know I'm not the only one!

I'm excited!

Oh no - Im TOTALLY geeked for this. Yes, I have some fears... but I have much more hope. I think this could be amazing, and I am completely looking forward to a return to the City! Some concerns that people had are valid, like the drastic departures from the original games and Garrett's new voice.. Others like the anger over pre-orders and day one dlc Im having a hard time understanding, since these are things everyone is doing now... If I can, I will totally buy in early so I can get the loyalty reward bank heist mission... if not, then most likely it will be released as DLC at some point. I think all told that this will be very fun, and I really hope they do well with this... Some people raise valid points, and I have worries too, but this could be the best thing ever if they do it right. Don't listen to the haters - they are just taffin us.

Totally excited... but totally frighten too... :/

I am not really excited. I don't like games where I am forced to control a character with his/her own 'personality'. Actually, I do like characters that are immoral, however, judging from the trailer it seems as if he has a robin hood thing going on so I don't expect any realistic(for lack of a better word) characterisations, by the way, I hope they at least let us customise his 'costume'.

I hope the combat is similiar to Splinter Cell, in that it allows us to complete the mission in the way in which we choose to.

Bioware has spoiled me with their non-linear games. They also allow the player to impose his/her own personality upon their avatar in the game.

Usually, linearly scripted characters bug the hell out of me.. Garrett, however is special. He is a very well written and voiced fellow, and he always had just the right amount of wit and cynicism to make him interesting, while not falling into the pitfall of being "edgy" or "cool" At least, he was.... new team... new actor. Lets hope they preserved him, because he is one of the greats! My advice is try one of the old games to get the feel or him... His narrative between jobs and occasonal quip durring the game is just enough to make him be more than an onscreen hand with a blackjack...

In some ways yes, I think it looks like a very fun game. In other ways no. I wish they’d have kept truer to the cannon. Then again I was really expecting to hate the new version of Sherlock Holms with Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock). Ended up loving it.

Could be fun, buuuuut I worry it'll just invite comparison with the First Bank & Trust mission from Thief II. And that could be a problem for the game, because that mission was great.

I did'nt even finish the first one yet

[Daddy Macaque]

Good point, I have been meaning to give Thief 2 another run though... That was really a proper bank heist, wasnt it?

[Deep]

I am very excited for this one....I love the thief series. From what I have seen so far, the gameplay is very much like the other thief games. I'm not too thrilled about the fog effect, but in the last game play footage I saw it looked like they toned it down some anyway. If there is a large city I can go out an explore I will be very happy, if not I won't cry about it. From the way it sounds though, from all I have read and seen, it looks like there will be some exploration.

[LemurRPG]

from the trailer it seemed that the first mission might be tutorial like as it might be a bit linear and might have a scene where you get caught and have to fight your way out(for tutorial reasons). but i'm still excited for this game for the missions outside the tutorial one.

[Daddy Macaque]

Yeah, honestly guys, the more I read up and after watching some interviews on TTLG.com.. I think we are gonna be ok. Gonna start marshalling money together for that preorder. Im in.

[Timeraider]

Tbh, i cant wait for it.

It makes me angry by the fact that people judge games before they're even out, and just judge them by litterally one demo, or even a trailer with no gameplay in it! it really makes me sad to see thiefs youtube channels videos have a big dislike bar, I'm excited for it, and I have a strong feeling it's gonna be one of those horribly HORRIBLY under rated games everyone hates with no reason. I think people are gonna hate it after it comes out just because they practically made plans to hate it with a burning passion a year before it even came out. But, I am kinda upset that the hammers won't be in it, and if the hammers are'nt in it, does that mean that there was no builder to cast away the trickster, and if there was no trickster, does that mean that the word "Taffer" won't exist in the reboot??
