Thief I & II are my top two favorite games! I'm bored easily by games, but these two games are sweet and I can't wait for the third installment.
Whelp unfortunately the release date is now 6/1/2004 and thats still not completely set...but there are definitely going to be some changes in this game from the old ones. Garret can now climb walls, guards will remember where they last heard a disturbance, they will also react to your shadow and some guards walk around with torches so this is going to be a tough game. Also guards wont walk a predefined path anymore, they will follow your sounds too...I definitely look forward to this one...
6/1/2004....hmmm...would that January 6th or june 1st ?
I need thief 3 !!! :(
June 1st...sadly...
man that bites!:(
I'm looking forward to it, I enjoyed to past two very much.
I am sorry, but this really seems like these teams have bad program managers. They are given a deadline and when people are ready for them, they announce an extention date. I wish we could do that for our uni coursework then. I bet that would kill our lecturer's brain cells. Anyway, this is spiriling out of control. Every "big" game will always be extended for 2-3times. I understand this is a marketing strategy, but it is very unfair for the consumers...just a thought
It's what Sales/Marketing folks do...promise what is impossible for the developers to deliver considering the circumstances.:mad:Quote:

I was. Eagerly! Then they released the DE:IW demo. Now I'm not.
I've been looking forward to Thief III for a long time. If I don't get my fix soon, I'm going to have to look for some new fan missions.
The Thief series earned a respectable place in the history of PC gaming. It pioneered the "first-person sneaker" style of game play, the environments were gorgeous, and the objectives were challenging. The multitude of fan missions--some of which are a blast--attest to how popular the game was.Quote:

The Thief games required an approach different from most other games. Garrett was designed to be a thief, not a fighter (the manual tells you this). Success in Thief comes from tactics like finding a good observation point that keeps you conceiled and checking out the situation so you can plan your next move. The primary weapons are the blackjack and bow. If you have to draw your sword, it's probably because you messed up and have to fight your way out of a bad situation. It's fun to take out enemies (I often did, if only to ease my escape), but the more difficult levels forbid you to kill anybody. And you'll be more than happy to slip by some of the scary-as-poop supernatural enemies without confrontation.Quote:

I noticed this thread because I was about to start one of my own about the game's progress--or lack thereof. I just checked the Thief III Web site, and it still says "Coming Soon." I guess I misunderstand the meaning of soon.
