THIEF Hands-On! Adam Sessler's Gameplay Impressions

[@Rev3Games]

Adam got to play the first couple hours of the Thief reboot, and came away a lot more impressed than last time: rev3gam.es/1geoG2z

[@MichaelPonciano]

The link isn't for thief, its for shadows of mordor. I'm even more Interested in this game now :-)

[@axne12]

I wasn't feeling this game anyways... 🎮👎🎮

[@Jimersion]

Thanks for this, Adam Sessler . Been waiting a long time for this next Thief game!

[@MichaelPonciano]

***** I actually got to meet Adam & take a pic with him. He's just like in his vids, a cool guy.

[@ltrgman]

I like how you are actually performing the action of stealing a painting, i.e., trimming the canvas off of its frame. I want more games to do this. Hate when you're tasked to let's say loot a treasure box and the corresponding animation is half-assed and generic looking. Make it look like the character is actually gathering or taking out whatever it is they're after in said treasure box. Games can be far more immersive that way, especially FPS ones.

[@axayd]

It would be difficult to do that when you have so many objects to loot whereas here Im sure it was an objective that required you to do it since the game is so damn linear.

[@asdgashash]

Splinter Cell resolved slow movement problem 12 fucking years ago.

[@kixofmyg0t]

How interesting. I see Thief on Steam discounted for pre order all the time. What I admire is Adam being able to talk about the beta, specifically negatively. Just hearing him speak about the beta's flaws leads me to believe the developers are trying to get it right. They aren't afraid of their work being criticized and are listening for feedback. It's like the opposite of Battlefield 4! Thank you Adam for your impressions, Thief is back on my radar.

[@Beans253]

Well at this point any feedback he would be able to give can't be implemented, the game most likely has already gone gold and is being printed on discs at the moment.

[@LicoriceLain]

The stealth genre was evolving for a while there, all the way up through Double Agent. The Splinter Cell series took the mechanics of Thief and ran with it. And then you have an installment that threw a monkey wrench into the machine by making the settings of several missions broad fucking daylight. Still the same light/sound mechanics, but there is the added obstacle being forced to do everything at midday with no shadows to hide in and a bunch of armed to the teach African soldiers running around pissed off. At that point in time I thought the genre could only get better, but for some unexplained reason every stealth franchise just sort of collectively threw their hands up and stopped trying. It has gotten to the point where it feels like Phantom Pain is really the last chance for a truly innovative stealth game.

[@daveman247]

I think stealth games have still been pretty good for the past few years. Blacklist, dishonored and hitman to name a few :)

[@jasonthecanadian]

Considering that 2012 may has had the 2 best stealth games of the gen in Dishonored and Mark of the Ninja, then you have Blacklist, the genre is just fine.

[@LicoriceLain]

Jason Rose If you like shitty streamlined stealth, then yea.

[@jasonthecanadian]

Mark of the Ninja and Dishonored are shitty streamlined stealth? Your awful taste in games is confirmed.

[@daveman247]

LicoriceLain I don't understand your point... Stealth games don't have to control awkwardly by nature or always be overly hard. Thats what options and difficulty levels are for :)

[@jakedizzle]

Thanks for the preview, Adam.

[@snookstah]

Wow a super honest hands-on instead of basically a commercial, refreshingly awesome ^_^

[@th3pooka]

Huge fan of the thief games, can't wait for this one to come out

[@chero666]

Lost me when talking about the original Thief games being "slow" as a negative.

[@MrBirdistheword444]

That's because he doesn't have an attention span

[@JoBo52]

Not everyone wants to lurk around in the shadows for hours. It's a fair assessment. Everyone has different preferences while playing games.

[@MrBirdistheword444]

Well it's a stealth game, not a hybrid like Dishonored or Deus ex.

[@chero666]

louis Williams Exactly. It was created to counter the more fast-paced, action-packed games that the First-Person Shooter genre were spitting out at the time, and its relevance today is still high. I don't believe that this game will live up to the legacy the series created (much like Hitman: Absolution couldn't).

[@EricAurumSkagg]

Joshua Boudreau Exactly. However, there are tons of "fast" games, so people who don't want to "lurk around in the shadows for hours" have plenty to choose from. What we don't have is more of those good ol' Thief games. If they don't want to make a true stealth game they shouldn't have used the brand name. They could make like the Arkane guys did and make a new IP. When you see Thief you expect slow paced, shadow lurking, water arrowing gameplay goodness.

[@arkhitekton1]

Eidos Montreal making a game with cutscenes that look worse than the actual in-game graphics? Boy, what surprise.

[@crabbypatty10fefrefe]

That's sarcasm right? Sometimes it's hard to tell. Lol

[@arkhitekton1]

Crowded House It is. As much as I love the game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution had some really awful looking cutscenes while the rest of the game looked fantastic.

[@crabbypatty10fefrefe]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

[@Darkholow]

I don't know if they are able to get the vibe of the old Thief games, but I am willing to give them a chance on this one because I am a big fan of the old games.

[@BackfallGenius]

Adam, you mentioned that this new Thief borrowed a couple gameplay elements from Dishonored. Aside from that, how is the gameplay when compared to Dishonored? I absolutely loved that game and have played it four times already. Is there anything that Thief does better than Dishonored? Worse? P.S. inb4 all the angry responses: I know Dishonored used the original Thief as inspiration. I've played them all too. Just want to get a good comparison here.

[@bveracka]

No one who has played the beta has really given me a clear answer to this burgeoning question. I LOVE Dishonored! Those huge levels that you can get lost in for hours are just awesome, and for me they really make the game. In Dishonored exploration is rewarded very generously, and what gamer doesn't enjoy that?! If the new Theif can overcome the struggles that the cross-platform titles will have (less than optimal visuals among other small things), then it's going to be a hit. People are calling this one as junk too early, methinks.

[@Renegade322]

Well, what you said has really helped my apprehension of this game, not so worried about story, but I was really scared about it becoming Action-y and the fact you die easily and want to avoid it, and keep it to a stealth game makes me quite happy

[@Icza]

This looks pretty cool. The first Thief game was my first experience with 3d accelerated graphics and it totally blew my mind. This looks like a cool new addition to that series I'll have to check out.

[@daveman247]

Having awkward combat sounds like a good thing to me, since you know. Its a stealth game.

[@adrianvergara1729]

I can see the "PENETRATOR" in the left corner of the screen hahahahaha

[@Walsh2571]

What is that purple thing off to the left?

really have high hopes for this game! I love the theif franchise and hope this game does well!

[@StormTrooperMatt]

Thanks for the review, Adam. I was a fan of this series since it's initial launch in '98. Seriously, though, what is the purple thing on the left?

[@GrimChaos2]

Oh! So this is where Adam Sessler has been. I should keep track of stuff like this.

[@JoshuaPerdew]

This looks like a great change of pace from BF4, Killzone and Madden. I love AC4, but I have done everything in SP and Freedom Cry. Don't Starve is great, but it makes me want Minecraft even more. So glad Thief is coming this month and Infamous next month.

[@SK371]

The graphics don't look great, but Thief; Deadly Shadows was one of my favorite games of all time so I am definitely getting this one when it comes out.

[@oldfool6666]

That's the whole point of stealth games. They're meant to be slow and measured because no one is meant to know you're there. They're about avoiding the action. Its a snail's pace yes because that's how you build the tension. Its about the thought of being seen or heard. It makes being caught more meaningful. God help the next generation of gaming.

[@JCMac120]

This game just popped up on my radar about a week ago. I'm intrigued to see how it turns out. I've never played the older titles, although I know this isn't made by the same devs. Guess I'll just wait and see for myself though (and some review scores I generally trust).

[@Natrone011]

As a huge fan of Dishonored, I'm very excited to get my hands on this and try to get a taste of the franchise that Dishonored seems to have been a re-imagining of. Also, nice Penetrator.

[@KrzysztofKotarba]

what I love in stealth games is that slow paste, it's more tactical than just run like idiot.

[@anatomyG59]

A 3.......outta 5.

[@X902HD]

Dishonored, is that you?

[@outlawz4life9999]

The statement could just as easily be flipped....

[@wansta11140]

Thief The Dark Project - 1998 Dishonored - 2012 Poor child, probably born in the 2000's. Thinking Dishonored did anything unique. I feel bad for you.

[@joshgodawful]

You should have at least paid attention to the video. Adam mentions playing the previous thief "gameS". You know, basically the grandfather series of all stealth games.

[@X902HD]

Emir B oh I'm sorry I must have missed the part of my post where I said Dishonored predated the Thief series, oh wait, that's because I didn't -_-

[@outlawz4life9999]

Yeah, you just sounded like a goof. That's all.

[@ldogg2k10]

I'm definitely a lot more interested in this game than before I saw this video. Thanks for the heads up Adam!

[@Dude902]

Eidos has pre-rendered major prologue cutscenes in all their recent games (Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, and now Thief). It's nice for special effects but even on PC they go with a low resolution/low quality FMV and it's unlikely they'll fix that in Thief. It sucks because it's so jarring in comparison with the in-engine graphics.

[@brbZoning]

What is that purple thing with the handle in the background =) and well done Adam.

[@RazKob33]

Regardless anyone's opinion, Thief is kinda my best memorable games from the original xbox. No disrespect though, you guys always helped me with some of my doubts about playing any videogame so thnx!!!

[@Jinzo05]

One of my most anticipated titles..

[@AdamDizzz]

They really need to reboot the Tenchu series. Tenchu 2 on the ps1 still has my favorite storyline of all time.

[@slamma_jamma]

would be nice to know what system the gameplay is from?

[@sglider]

Great impressions, game looks pretty cool. Right now, this would be the only game that I would make want to jump on the next gen. I'll pick up the special edition of it on the cheap in a year or so.

[@KenTWOu]

Harvey Smith is not a Thief veteran, he didn't work on Thief games, he worked on Deus Ex only, while Randy Smith worked on Thief games. www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,6831/

[@DevouredByADream]

Also check the offical Thief Twitter for all the new Thief info released to the public today.

[@GregoryCunningham]

Man, this game doesn't look like it lives up to its predecessors.

[@TheJohnApocalypse]

Never played a Thief game before but this looks really promising. The only comparison I see in Dishonoured is the aesthetic and that they're both stealth games

[@GOATZILLA69]

When dis game come out

[@DATskorge]

Nice to see all these impressions the Sess dog.

[@adamleblanc7357]

Thief will be a game I definitely play, but not yet. I'm thinking I'll risk picking up Infamous. I can wait a little longer since Battlefield still has me entertained. I'll try Thief when I can buy it for a reduced price. Looks like a fun stealth game, but I've never played Thief before so I can't say I'm a fan of the series.

[@mrlobudgetgamer3547]

Thief was a great game can't wait to play this one

[@UTxTheArchangel]

I have my eyes on this game, probably not a first day buy, but a on sale for $30-40 game. It looks interesting and I've been waiting for a truly stealth game...especially with Dishonored disappointing me in terms of the story, graphics, and restrictions. Combat was good but that was about it.

[@itzille]

This game looks really fun! I love stealth games and i'll probably by this for my Ps4 since i haven't got that much else to play on that platform at the time to be honest. Just one more month to wait! :)

[@sabatheus]

I'm hoping Eidos does System Shock next. *wrings hands like an evil scientist*

[@coolen]

Oh god no what the fuck

[@sandamn85]

you would realize that as in thief, they'll "reinvent" the game into something with simplistic narrative and corridor levels.

[@wideawakeanimal1]

I really loved dishonored, I am ready to play this game!

[@TeHzoAr]

Why did you specify the 120hz TV when the game probably runs at 30fps and it has nothing to do with the character models aaaaaaaaaauggggggh

[@Lance_Lionroar]

Because, you know, some of us are actually gonna play this on PC and won't be stuck at 30 FPS?

[@TeHzoAr]

Lance Lionroar Meanwhile, he was playing the PS4 version and commented on how the 120hz TV made the models looks bad. It really has nothing to do with you or the PC version

[@vonderfly]

Lance Lionroar Still, what does that have to do with the character models? Did he mean animations?

[@PeteTheL337]

TeHzoAr Maybe his 120hz TV was able to show a much sharper picture with less blur and therefore revealed less than optimal texture quality on the models. Im just spitballing here.. take it with a grain of salt.

[@happypoo3201]

***** I have a 240 hertz tv and it makes no difference. I can't believe he actually said that. Adam is a really smart guy, which makes that statement kind of embarrassing.

[@Hawkeye156]

Thanks, Adam!

[@happypoo3201]

I would not be surprised if this game gets an average score when it comes out. It was probably revolutionary in 2004 but not so much now that its 2014.

[@TheDastardlyDerek]

2004? the first Thief was released in 1999. Thief: Deadly Shadows was released in 2004, which was considered to be the worst of the series by a large number of fans. Thief: The Dark Project was essentially the very first stealth game, and it's sequel Thief 2: Metal Age (2000) has for deeper stealth mechanics than most modern stealth games. Most of the worry for this game comes from the fear of it being a streamlined version of the original series, gutted of any hardcore focus.

[@happypoo3201]

If it gets a 9.0 from gamespot or ign I will eat my hat(after I buy a hat).

[@Bacbi]

Lookng forward to it, but I get the feeling that this will be way harder then dishonored. I just hope they have a save system that allows for trial and error cause that's the way I like to play this games. Try different things out to see what happen and then make my perfect playthrough :p

[@bveracka]

I'm going to pick-up my copy in a few hours, so I'm staying away from ALL reviews until I play it for myself. Reviews all too often spoil games for me because of opinion-based stuff (nonsense) that reviewers say. Especially if I like the reviewer, like Adam here, I tend to hang on every word. More times than not, I find myself holding opinions about games before I've even played them because I watch (and read) too many reviews. Just a word to the wise; PLAY the game, then talk about it! Sadly the story of Bioshock Infinite was COMPLETELY RUINED for me by the ass-clowns who spammed the comments sections with stuff like, "Elizabeth kills you in the end!!!!" and "You ARE Comstock!!" ... and so I refuse to ruin another (possibly) great game.

[@ZamboinElite]

They did justice to Deus Ex, making one of my favorite games of all time: Human Revolution. A game with obvious flaws, but they have already tackled one of the greatest PC franchises of all time, now for the other. Really the shortcomings of HR and now with what we have been told about Thief seems to be indicative of publisher pressure. HR was rushed and was lacking overall, but the genius of the game shined through. This abuse by the powers at be lead to the studio's head to leave this past Spring. This show of defiance seems to have been in vein, as Thief looks to be a rushed title as well. While you could cite it's lengthy development time, the constant revisions and now corner cutting are most decidedly a result of publisher pressure.

[@McKreevzie]

Love how you speak your mind dude, keep it up!

[@WithTimeComesStories]

There is a Penetrator on the couch/chair.

[@TheDevestator321]

I like Adams impressions might pick thief up

[@Jim26D]

I think the game looks great so far. My only complaint is that garrets voice actor was not hired. Plus I'm not too crazy about those ninja like hands in my face at all times when sneaking. I like the new animations for stealing objects. The environments look great. Remember thief is not dishonored if you fought two enemies at once you are dead. One was a challenge if not taken out stealthily because garret is a thief not a supernatural warrior. Im missing Ken levines writing skills here since looking glass pretty much be came irrational games but still disappointed the story is weak. Would have loved to see the original team tackle this game but it looks as good as it can for being made by a new team.

[@tormentedzombieowl]

This impression video made me cancel my pre-order! Will pick up in the bargain bin! Thanks Adam, you saved me $65 bucks that I can put to use on a better game, not one caught in development hell!

[@bradhozuki8903]

I don't think you know what "development hell" means. The game has already been developed.

[@sk81991]

Looks fun I like having an objective in games finding clues

[@jasonthecanadian]

So let me get this straight, less is more in Titanfall, but in Thief, it's last gen in its scope. Nonsense.

[@jasonthecanadian]

Also, the comment on slow and plodding in a pure stealth game is misplaced. The game is what it is.

[@jasonthecanadian]

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Titanfall either, it just seems hypocritical.

[@Csenary]

Jason Rose You are comparing two very different video games and genres which doesn't make sense.

[@delicious619]

Jason Rose I think having a faster pace to a stealth is extremely relevant. I like stealth games but sometimes it gets really boring when half the time I am just waiting for guards to slowly walk by me. A stealth game can be more active than just sitting in the shadows crawling everywhere. I think you are being too sensitive about the last-gen comment. Titanfall and Thief are completely different games and there is a big difference between multiplayer and single player map design.

[@jasonthecanadian]

Whoopsiez Taking Adam's previous blanket statements on the subject, it's a relevant comment.

[@ShiroKreuz]

I don't really like that dash mechanic, it looks a bit too easy to sneak with. In an older Thief game if someone suddenly opens a door like at 1:38, you will be like holy shit, i have to move back slowly while not making any noise or I'll get heard, now you'll just swoop away, no sweat.

[@SomeTotalRandom]

10 thief videos in my sub box

[@e3m88]

look people, he is being very positive and he has more than 30 s worth of video.

[@ultraret]

which game should i buy for PS4? tomb raider def ed or thief

[@Ebenezer563]

Have you already played TR? If not then that.

[@MaxVolumeMusicMixes]

It looks good, but I am definitely wanting for reviews.

[@lakexxvlogs3235]

Is there a free roam like the last ones and what about the pagans and hammerites and if you die by a guard do you go to jail and monsters are there monsters to if not this thief is very different than thief 1 2 & 3

[@prabshiro]

hyped for this game, loved dishonored want more of the same stuff.

[@ONEWAYLEEWAY]

Load of balls on the left side of the screen lololol

[@nick27ify]

Does anyone know if this game is free roam or is it more of a dishonored type of game and i mean as in do u get to explore the city or do u just go to a guy get your mission and your left in a mission area until you complete your mission?

[@signootter]

From what I"ve learned there's his hideout, and a hub city you can go around within it, and the missions are separate :) IT actually sounds nice from the review I did read they said it's VERY intricate and large of a general hub. As well as the missions being huge. Whlie most that might be hype I can see it.

[@ianemory6409]

I see a lot of dishonored in this; which isn't a bad thing on account of it was one of my favorite games of the past few years. From what Sess said I can say I'm probably more excited for this game than I was. Graphics don't mean a whole lot to me, and the "look," of a game is by far a secondary things. I'm glad that the game decides to kill if you getting caught for that is very reminiscent of the last thief games with is a nice carry over.

[@ianemory6409]

I play the second one all the way through, and part of the third one. Never got a hold of the first.

[@Lazypackmule]

Sadly even with the hilarious amount of late-game damage control they tried to do to please the fans of the originals, it still really seems that this will be the "Splinter Cell: Conviction" of the Thief series. At least they toned down the pandering to the call of duty audience somewhat.

[@dylansantaclause9129]

Holy shit I haven't seen Adam in a long time not since g4tv

[@bryanaguirre89]

Can't wait for this game looks really good and heard a lot of good things about it

[@nscoby9311]

Necver played Thief lol I thought it was a new IP never heard of it. Loved Dishonored!

[@AdamAus85]

If it looks better than Dishonored, I'm sold.

[@KevinGeneFeldman]

FUGGING TAKE DOWN ANIMATIONS! DAMNIT!!

[@knightwingbk]

Adam do you ever think it's tedious replaying a section of a game for a review that u played for an impressions demo?

[@ZamboinElite]

Lower resolution cut scenes? Sounds like their previous title, Human Revolution. The jarring transition from what was an otherwise passable looking game were a real downside and not something that was fixed in the Director's Cut. A game that could easily have rendered the same cut scenes in game. Developers needs to learn that whenever possible, use the game engine to render cut scenes, to avoid these kinds of hiccups in what are otherwise supposed to be immersive experiences.

[@chocobo92]

the game engine for human revolution just couldn't handle a lot of what they wanted to do apparently. If you ever hear the director's cut dialogue, a lot of problems they explain seem to stem from the engine just not being the most advanced thing.

[@BuzzChronicles]

when are we getting a really good fleshed out Open world game this is just another generic 10 hr game that you will forget in 2 days where is fallout or when will a company make a Open world Last of us

[@Soraking007]

open world is difficult to pull off right thats why a lot of people who do pass the test make really good games, but open world is difficult. open world last of us doesnt work same problem that co-op joel and ellie has its story specific world and theres too much that can go wrong.

[@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo]

some of us don't won't just open world games, sure there is a lot of things to do. But it doesn't have the wow factor that a linear game has.

[@BoomerangMonk3ys]

Bro, calm down. 2014 is practically the year of open world with games like The Division, Infamous Second Son, Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inquisition, Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeros, Destiny, The Crew, and Dying Light. Every game doesn't have to be an open world just to be fun.

[@premchandnl6580]

Witcher 3 ?!

[@biggydx]

You know what? I don't think there's ever been an Open-World/Sandbox Ninja game before.

[@Plutonia001]

Eidos Montréal don't have the skills to make a next-generation game based on a classic franchise. The worst thing about this game is that apparently every single game mechanic that was in the original game, has been compromised for lazy implementation of visual quality in the form of animations. They didn't even try to dynamically animate free action, they immediately sacrificed the freedom for static animations. A true next-generation game would have been able to seamlessly blend the 100% free action of the original Thief games with responsive animations, without compromises. Eidos Montréal just don't seem to be... good enough to accomplish that.

[@CaptPonyholder]

I could care less about the graphics. As long as they nail the atomosphere and gameplay, that is all I want from a Thief game.

[@Dukelol323]

this impression is the first thing to give me any hope that Thief will be any good. there is no way it will be as good as Thief 2, but from what you said it doesn't seem to have gone too far down the dishonored root where combat is a completely viable option like i was massively worrying about. i am gonna remain cautiously optimistic. HR ended up being a good Deus Ex game, just not as good as the original. FINGERS CROSSED!

[@ThePsychopunch]

Looks good I'm picking it up day 1

[@janrdoh]

Such a shame consoles hold back the advancement of games both in scale and graphics .Honestly if a game came on four disks it wouldn't matter at all on pc but on peasant boxes you have to worry if it will fit on the hard drive .

[@hennidapoet]

Wish it was like Tenchu

[@zeratu1000]

i wonder how long the game will be? also gamestop has an exclusive mission on this game, shame on SE, eidos for doing this

[@zogmorp]

Dishonored really reminded me of Thief..

[@hypetrain7134]

First next gen game I'll have bought :D

[@NetworkEngr]

Looks pretty good.

[@Talok85]

This is what i was worried about, that they would focus on current game mechanic trends and motion capture bs, rather than focus on what made thief good in the first place.. the story is going to be weak..? Then I'm going to have to cancel my preorder cause that just about kills it for me.

[@TheRadioSquare]

If they didn't slap Thief on the box I probably wouldn't even guess it's a Thief game. It might turn out to be a good game, but it's a shit oozing pile of bums vomit in that fucked up toilet from Trainspotting compared to original looking glass games. I wish devs would just stop this "remake" nonsense, it's a different game, period.

[@TheRadioSquare]

***** It's a generic stealth game where you steal shit. It doesn't have classic thief gameplay and story is shit by default because it's an alternate universe a.k.a. universe where original story doesn't matter. If you're calling this a Thief game you either never experienced why original was so good or have incredibly low standards.

[@TheRadioSquare]

***** It's generic because they try to appeal to wider audience hence tweaking gameplay to make it faster and easier. It looks more like a Dishonored DLC rather than a unique game. Old Thief was bout learning the level, exploring it and deciding how to complete your objective while dodging guards. Design philosophy has changed, i'd be surprised if they pull that off. I already said, it could come out and be a good game on it's own merit but it's never going to be good compared to any other game in the franchise. They could've just reskinned MC, weapons and suddenly it's a whole new IP, thief is so old at this point nobody would even bother calling it a rip-off.

[@TheRadioSquare]

***** I'm didn't make up my mind about this game, i said it could be good. And judging from their old ~30 minutes demo they build levels in way that allow for more vertical movement so you just bypass some guards without them even having a chance to notice you, old thief made you either wait and go or just scrape walls in hope there is not enough light and sound to notice you.

[@jsh020]

TheRadioSquare so because its not as linear and rewards exploration its worse all of the sudden?

[@TheRadioSquare]

jsh020 The fuck are you even talking about?

I expect it to be a really good game that none of the initiated Thief fans like. The Human Revolution of Thief, if you will.
