The update makes me a bit more confident in the game. Maybe it's just back-pedalling but, hey, maybe we scared them enough to make a proper Thief game!
Thief Will Feature a "Less Goth" Garrett - UPDATED
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
This looks a lot like Batman's league of shadows ninja costume from the first movie in the Dark Knight trilogy.
It's always OK to make fun of Emo's. To quote Randy Milholland "Remember, it's down the street, not across the road!"somonels said:
Also, back on topic this is the is THE BEST description of the new character design, ever. I doff my cap to you, sir or madam.
I know how you feel. I know my eyes watered a bit when I realized that Supreme Commander 2 wasn't even a shadow of the original game I grew to love. This news softens the blow a little more. I was so excited for Supcom 2 that I never saw a hint of anything wrong before release.elilupe said:
I'm just glad I downloaded the demo to get a taste of it before buying it. I did the same for Supcom 1, and I couldn't get a full copy fast enough.
I bet they don't give a shit about Garrett's new look. They just pulled that out now, so they can later say "Yeah, you hate the game just because Garrett wears eyeliner".
But seriously: From what i've read in this article, it seems to me that people at Eidos Montreal are confusing the meanings of "gothic" term, when it comes to Thief series.

Anyway, i plan to play in first person view, so as long as Garrett will sound like Stephen Russell, i won't mind. Unless, they'll fill missions with cutscenes, cause, you know "We're not still in 1998."

?We wanted to bring him more for the modern audience of today's console market,? Cantin said. ?He's now in the game doing more action moves and that's how we wanted the costume and the suit to reflect that.?

?Time has moved on,? Narrative Director Steve Gallagher added. ?We're not still in 1998.?
?I was referring specifically to a previous Garrett design we tried out internally and not Garrett from the previous games.?
Are we to understand that the team developing Thief 4 made a gothy Garrett concept design way back in 1998 and has now finally scrapped it in favour of the more classic design because Thief 4 is a more action-oriented game than the original ones so the Gareth that never looked like the Thief 1-2 Gareth doesn?t fit the new gameplay as nicely as it would fit the classic one?
