With lots of high level departures going on, it doesn't sound like what is being made is anything people are desperate to have their name attached to.

I was thinking, if they insist on jamming this out because they need a game on the slate for summer/christmas because the publisher is in trouble (probably christmas in this case) even though it needs some more time in the oven, that'll be the third time this has happened to a Thief game.

This series is cursed. Anyone who touches it is torn asunder.

Well there are a couple of gameplay vids from E3 out now. I suppose this is the one worth seeing.

Looking pretty good to be fair, though I doubt they'll get the ambient sounds right nor the script/story. But its looking like Thief, which is nice.
And the hatecrew in Thief gen will we eating their hats.

Automated takedowns aside, looks good. But that interface sure is ugly, and cluttered. Good luck to modders/hackers getting rid of all that information overload. I mean, we all know not all of these will be toggable (foggy view? What is that for ?).

The "foggy view" is to let you know when you're in darkness or not. (At least, I think that's what it's for.)There's a part in the demo where garrett uses a rope arrow up to a window ledge. Once he reaches the window ledge, the foggy stuff disappears.
Also, I'm not so sure anyone is going to be able to mod this game, considering it's Unreal Engine 4. (Isn't it?) They're at least not planning on having mod tools, so I don't know how friendly UE4 will be in terms of modifying the game.

Nope, heavily modified UE3.

Hmm, looks pretty good. The man is saying plenty I like to hear. However it seems that the subtlety of the original viewpoint that made it so immersive is almost impossible to reproduce (well, Amnesia did it and Mirror's Edge did something along those lines. Maybe you just have to give a crap).
Ah well, might be alright the way it's going. Just please can we turn off those stupid takedowns.

you mean it's not on the dark engine?

I liked everything except for "you can also fight everyone if you want to".

What's the point of making a stealth game if you can just kill everyone?
