What The Hell Happened To Thief?

Ойындар

When people think about stealth games, some of the more immediately recallable names include the Metal Gear Solid series and the Splinter Cell games. But one such franchise that may escape the minds of many is that of the Thief franchise. And this would be rather astonishing, considering how pivotal Thief is as a franchise to the genre of stealth as a whole.
At the same time, this would be rather understandable - since its first title in 1998, the franchise has only seen four releases, with the latest one being a reboot that released in 2014, and that title being one that on the whole didn't land particularly well with critics and fans. In addition to that, In this video, we'll be taking a brief look at each of the four Thief games, and discussing the future of the franchise.

    The Thief reboot hurt me, I played the original games when I was a kid and I loved them. All my friends were excited about Thief when it was coming out in 2014 and I was showing them Deadly Shadows on my old Xbox. Then it came out and was just okay at best and now we’re probably never going to see another one in the same style as the original trilogy if we even see another one ever again.

    That's how I feel. I take it like their first time working on a thief like game and made a lot of mistakes that veteran players hated but if you take a step back and look at the overall game it was a good starting point. Kinda like a beta if you will. If they were to make a sequel and just make it more "open world" like, allowing multiple routes into places or around obstacles (kinda like the dishonored franchise, which coincidentally was made by people who made some of the original thief games) as well as polished it up more with an engaging story it could be great. I feel like something like a mix of the first few assassin creed games mixed with the dishonored games could end up being great. The most fun I had was breaking into a home and finding cool loot as well as secret safes or secret areas where you have to do some stuff in order to open up an area to then find more fun secrets. We don't really have much of that these days with games. :(

    Just a few corrections: 1: The original trilogy does not have the Primal, Freaks, or basically anything from Thief 2014. The reboot is basically a separate continuity without Keepers, Pagans, Hammerites, or most of what was in the original trilogy, and for the sake of clarify, should probably be treated as mostly separate from the rest of the franchise. 2: I could be wrong on this, but i’m fairly certain the main reason why the supernatural elements of the first game were criticized was mostly because the levels focusing kn them tended to put the focus more on the awkward combat than the stealth. 3: It was implied that Deadly Shadows added in the feature where different flooring types made differing amounts of sound. This feature has been in the series since The Dark Project, and while I feel DS’s sound design and propagation system lives up to the originals, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it did add some features. IIRC, they were planning to have a sound-absorbing device in DA, which they never implemented. Might have been cool, though!

    PS: Almost forgot: you implied that the reboot added branching paths to the franchise. Deadly Shadows added a hub world, which the reboot also had, but while the original two separated the world into missions, each mission was extremely wide, and quite frankly, impressively large for the time. Some people like to refer to the original Thief Trilogy as “sandbox sneaker” games, for how varied your approach could be, even being practically restricted just to stealth. The reboot, on the other hand had very linear level design for most of the levels, and most branching paths were just two separate paths to the same place, whereas counting even the number of different minimal-backtracking pathways through the vast majority of original Thief trilogy levels would be a mathematical nightmare. I don’t mean to sound mean, I just don’t want people getting the wrong idea and being horribly disappointed D:

    It's not the atmosphere that was the problem, it's the pathing. The fun aspect of thief games is you had to figure out how to get to a place yourself, but in the 4th game there were literally set paths that you could go and nothing else. Which made it bad, it was no longer freeroam, it was all pick path A, B or C.

    Nothing in this game was good! The gameplay was downright trash, in every sense of the word. And one of the most important aspects, the Sound Design was so abysmal. That even Gameboy games could compete. Both Charcaters, this version of Garret and his garbage girlfriend who got suck into a Gem. They were so insufferable badly writen and portrayed characters, its ridiculous. It played like a garbage version of DeusEx. Having "cinematic" knock out scenes and sequences for everything. And all the other crap no one needs. Everything you could do in this game broke immersion. And whats with the POS Quick Time Events? Especially those when you traverse to the next area, where you have to hammer retardedly a button every time you want to open the Window? The sheer amount of utterly dumb game design they put into this game, is ludacris. There is not enough Brimstone and Hellfire to bury this game under!

    Pretty much the only thing it had going for it, but even that was only a watered down version of the old games and a copy of Dishonored. As a game, Thief 4 was a passable action-adventure-movie game, a mediocre stealth game and an awful Thief game. It threw out or botched the implementation of several genre/series defining elements (great shadow, audio and map design) in favour of contemporary streamlined action. It curbed the player's wings and butchered the freedom of exploration that fans loved about the old games, railroading you into following a somewhat clichéd story, forcing the player to constantly wrestle with the game for controls as it oh so desperately tries to jam cutscene after cutscene down their throat. I'll forever remember when like the very first real level, the Morgue, forced me onto an overhead conveyor so I could access the next chunk of the map. The game literally puts you on rails multiple times, forcing you through points of no-returns, zero backtracking. The max amount of freedom the game offers you is that you can choose how to get to the checkpoint: Path A, the heavily guarded front door; or Path B: a vent or window to the right of the front door. So no freedom, really. It also threw out the old lore. Well, not really, as it pays homage to and references it, but it's all just the distant past in Thief 4. Which would be an alright direction, if they bothered to create a world that's at least on par with the old setting, but they just opted for a very generic, bland 'shit-hole city' setting instead and didn't bother to come up with good, fantastical, alien dialects, so everyone sounds like a character from 21st century true crime drama.

    The mistake they made in the 4th thief installment was that it was entirely linear in gameplay. Which made it straight up horrible, plus it was pretty short and not much to explore. I'd love to see a proper thief game setup the way the original Assassins Creed franchise was, where you have a giant city, and you can stealth your way through it, instead of just like 3-4 sections which all the other thief games have.

    We need a final Thief game and , yes, it would be good if memebers of the original team would work making it. In my imagination I would call it "The final job" and I have an initial plot for it. Garret is getting old and he is receiving one final job before retiring, but he refuses the offer taking into account the risk. Later his daughter disappears without a trace and the only lead he has takes straight to the last job offer before retiring he just refused. He goes back and takes the job. From this point on he is sucked into the whirpool of the Thief world. The Mechanists make a come back, Karas who actually faked his death, want to take the scene and teach a lesson to those who conspired against him in the past. The Hammerites feel the danger that a Mechanists come back will pose , so they pepare to fight for their supremacy. The keepers , who have a new leader and new daring goals want to take advantage of the situation and get a piece of the action. Also the Pagans are not yet totally extinc, they ally with Garret this time in his quest. The sheriff who always had a grudge against Garret wants this time, seizing the opportunity, to put him down for good. Anyone is after Garret and anyone wants a piece of the action. (it would spice the action if a new party will raise among wing the old ones)

    I downloaded Thief 3 last week to relive my teens and after 4 hours, promptly turned it off. For the time, it was great, but it has not aged well as I hoped and despite knowing I liked it at the time, its best to stay a memory. Thief 2014 on the other hand I recall playing, hating the city transitions, loading screens, but a few standout moments. I also recalled loving how physical the game was. 2014 Thief was not bad, just not a Thief Thief game cult fans wanted and thats it. It was a saddly rushed game, caught in the trend cycle set by Assassins Creed, shadowed by Dishonored and limited by the consoles. On PC, it still looks good, what was good before is still good now and I would like to play another game like this

    Ah yes...Thief. Spent many nights (and days) sneaking through poorly lit corridors, houses, mansions, prisons, submarines (yep), tree houses, graveyards, docks, and pretty much everywhere else, lol. I got hooked on T2: The Metal Age and went back and played Gold. Then...I discovered...mods. So then I spent many days and nights in Dromed making my own maps and playing other people's maps. I played Shadows and T4 but never finished them. Those are on my To Do list though. We can thank Thief for Dishonored and we can also thank Thief for The Dark Mod (which I'm surprised didn't make an appearance in this video). Anyway...for those that like mods and Thief...I suggest you check out The Dark Mod@ www.thedarkmod.com/main/ There are many, many missions to play ranging from entire story arc multilevel missions to short but tough missions. The folks there are constantly updating TDM and new missions are still being released. The community is still there...just not as big as it once was.

    Thief The Dark Project and Thief II The Metal Age were hugely immersive stealth games that awarded patience and exploration. Unfortunately, most game companies now assume players do not have the same patience that PC gamers were willing to give. Also, many game developers today simply do not have the same vision and passion that Looking Glass Studios had. LGS was a small studio whose vision did not get lost in the big corporate grind which is typical today.

    What I find fascinating is that I find the Thief games to be particularly fast stealth games, or at least feel like it. While I ghost most of the time, and that’s a tad slow, if you’re ok with first alerts, and especially with blackjacking, you can speedily sneak through the thief games faster than I feel you can in most stealth games, and I kinda love that. Even when i’m waiting, i’m actively waiting by listening and actively charting enemy positions with my ears, so it doesn’t feel like i’m waiting for anything, which is amazing ❤️

    @@Curt_Randall Fair enough. I guess a better way to state my opinion is that the game truly lets you experience it at your own pace, which means that depending on the speed at which your mind is processing everything, you will always be able to fully experience the game without feeling like the game is rushing you along or stopping you to make you look at something you yourself don't choose to :3 Also that sound propagation tho Like, if they remaster the original trilogy, trying to recapture the way sound propagates through levels would probably be the hardest part by far.

    The Thief trilogy is my all time favorite, and will remain so. One of the best thing about them was the voice actor of Garrett (Stephen Russell, amazing artist). Even though I couldn’t accept the Thief: Reboot, it still is part of the series. I wish someone would pick it up and make a novel out of it (as it was done for Dishonored; a good game too). I particularly don’t care for live actions, they are particularly destructive to my imagination. So I’m not looking forward to any thief movie.

    I kind of liked Thief on the PS3. My only problem was the game felt short. The ending was the worst. I thought there would be an escape sequence at least, but instead it cut straight to the ending and that's it. Honestly it felt like half a game. The gameplay was great, but cut short of a full game experience.

    For all those interested in the franchise, please try out the originals. They might not have modern graphics like the reboot, but their atmosphere, story, open (yet surprisingly not that hard to navigate) level design, and solidly deep, yet easy to grasp stealth make them completely worth their currently cheap price. My opinion is subjective, as is everyone's, but please don’t assume that older means worse. After all, I don’t think most people would say that Ride to Hell:Retribution is better than Super Mario Bros, right? Yeah? D: Newer tech creates potential for better games, but the content of the game is what matters, and thus it’s entirely possible for some older games to be superior to newer games. If you liked the reboot, you can check out the old games for a fraction of the price! You might really enjoy it :D

    I loved the Thief games, but for realism the miss the mark. You would never carry around a bow or a sword. Perhaps the blackjack and dagger but that would be the only weapons you would have space for. Perhaps having a conveniently knocked out guard you could borrow a sword from. The bow would also be too clunky, but a small sling and some glass balls would be a better fit. I don't know if they could ever capture the magic of the first thief game. It would take a long time to bring a top notch Thief game to market with the standards of games today.
