Quoth Skanky:

Hooray!

Once again we can become Garrett, he who steals from the rich and gives to himself. The traditional favourites seem to be in - flashbombs, blackjack, lockpicks, but additionally players will be able to get their hands on (or in) climbing gloves as well, adding more possibilities to gameplay. The mechanical eye also returns, which is great news.

The voice of Garrett will be done by the same voice actor of the original, also great news. And finally, news that has me - dare I say it - almost optimistic about this release:
It is by a different team to the one that made Deus Ex 2.

Even spamming that forum eh.

Maybe I'll give the demo a shot.

Just Read that the EU release should be somewhere around the 10th of june.

US 25th of may.

Even better, we can have the game peer-reviewed and still (potentially) buy it the day its released.
And yes, their forum is now ever so slightly more Skanky than before.

What's hidden can be found;
What's yours can be mine."

...Garrett.

It's gold?

I didn't even know it had started production.

It just started production...hence the going gold.

[Skanky Burns]

one of the cool new things in the game is a persistent economy (rather than the per mission loadouts of earlier Thief games)

That seems interesting.

Deadly Shadows provides a totally Thiefy experience. It's a little (and I DO mean a LITTLE!) more "actiony" than the first two games in the series... If you get into combat, you have a better chance of surviving and some of our QA guys are proficient enough with a bow and broadhead arrows that it sometimes looks like a medieval fps!

I find it suspicious how much Skanky likes this series.

Hehe Thief2 was great, and I've been meaning to play the original for ages. I just hope they don't kill it like the Deus Ex sequel.

[Skanky Burns]

I like Thief 1 much better than Thief 2, although the original didn't let you use a mechanical eye. Superb storyline, well designed missions.

I got a PM from one of the mods there regarding my location (same as I use here) and my name itself.
Oh well, will see what happens with that.

"Skanky" is a naughty word now? Your repuation is spreading, dude.

[Rasputin]

skanky always been a BAD word !!!!!

[DrSpike]

I'm surprised they let you use Skanky in your location field at all.
