Because it's not Thief 4. It's a reinvention of the series. I've seen enough information released from the developers to know that this won't be a very similar experience compared to the original two games. The official forums are full of concerned fans who have seen the warning signs of a game that is being developed to pander to the modern casual mass market. If you're a hardcore fan of the original games, the odds are that you will be very disappointed. On the other hand, if you're a modern casual, you'll probably love it.
I mean you're right, but did you absolutely have hand it to me straight? ;)
Dishonored was made to be like Thief not the other way around. Unfortunately they made it very arcade. Thief: The Dark Project released in 1998
And wikipedia copy and paste
Legacy[edit]
Thief: The Dark Project was the first 3D stealth PC game and its stealth gameplay innovations influenced later games in the genre.[80] The game has been cited as the first to use light and shadow as a stealth mechanic,[13] and the first to use audio cues, such as the ability to eavesdrop on conversations and alert guards with loud footsteps.[80] The game's use of sound wave propagation, which allowed sounds to travel around corners and through rooms, became widely considered by game developers. GameSpot editor Greg Kasavin argued that, while Metal Gear Solid, Tenchu: Stealth Assassins and Thief all defined the stealth action genre, it was Thief that displayed "the purest depiction of what it might be like to slip from shadow to shadow" and "largely remains an unsurpassed achievement in gaming."[81]
Thief: The Dark Project was followed by two sequels, and a fourth game is undergoing development. Looking Glass Studios developed Thief II: The Metal Age, which received positive reviews when released in March 2000. Thief: Deadly Shadows, released for both Windows and the Xbox, was developed by ION Storm Austin due to the 2000 closure of Looking Glass Studios. After a troubled development cycle, the game's May 2004 release met with positive reviews. In May 2009, a fourth Thief game was revealed to be in development by Eidos Montreal for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[82]
Thief: The Dark Project has been declared one of the greatest games of all time by several publications. Inducting it into its hall of fame, GameSpy writer Rich Carlson wrote: "With a tactical philosophy contrary to nearly every FPS action game at that time, Thief rewarded stealth and sneaking over brazen frontal assault," continuing: "While inadvertently undermining the notion that all action games need be shooters, it carved a completely new niche in the same already glutted genre."[13] In 2009, Thief was added to IGN's hall of fame.[83] In a retrospective review that same year, John Walker of Eurogamer wrote: "Thief is an embarrassment to modern stealth games, each of which produces only a faded parody of this masterful original."[84] In 2012, Mike Fahey of Kotaku wrote: "I love the genre—whether it's Assassin's Creed or Splinter Cell or Hitman or whatever—but little did I know that they were all doing it wrong. [...] Thief is the best stealth game I've ever played."[85] That same year, Time named it one of the 100 greatest video games of all time.[86]
Marc Laidlaw, writer and designer on Half-Life, said that "Thief is the single most terrifying, immersive, and rewarding game I have played and the one single-player game I continue to replay. [...] There are countless books I wish I had written; Thief is one of the few games I wish I had worked on."[13] Laidlaw called Thief his favorite game,[87] an opinion shared by Fallout 3 lead designer Emil Pagliarulo.[88]
Go play the first 3 games in order. Then come back to us knowing that dishonored while fun was an imbred bastard child of thief :)
You must be new. And people have seen more than just video. If you can read the things that the developers have said and not react with total shock and denial then you must belong to the demographic that this game is being made for. I seriously had trouble believing that some of the dev quotes were not jokes... but no, they were being serious.
You've never seen so much hate for a game this long before its release? You've never heard of Fallout 3 then. The fans of the original games figured out long before release that Fallout 3 wasn't being developed with them in mind, and that the game was being changed (in the most stupid and careless ways that could be devised) in an attempt to appeal to a newer and larger market. The same general thing seems to be happening with Thief. You might not be able to detect any problems, but a lot of us can.
Btw fallout 3 is and awesome game like new vegas... even if its not like fallout 1 and 2, they are masterpieces anyway...so if T4 is as good as Fallout 3 its gonna be awesome... even if its a little different..
But srsly give me links and/or quotes that you find disturbing, maybe we can analyse it together :)
It appears as if the folks developing this Thief re-boot are also drawing from new ideas presented in Dishonored.
I'm optimistic, can't wait to see what's new.
