Thief 3 Preview
Gamespy have a decent preview of sneaky FPS Thief: Deadly Shadows (not that I understand how shadows can be deadly), and while the screenshots look rather lovely, there are some changes that fans of the franchise may not love. Garrett can now fight, there is a 3rd person mode, and the ominous phrase “wider audience” has been mooted in connection with the new design. In the words of Ion Storm head Warren Spector, “you can’t make games for MIT grads”, who presumably liked the complex sneak-only puzzles of previous Thief games. If that doesn’t worry you too much, the rest of the news seems good. Now all they have to do is get that chunky Deus Ex: Invisible War engine to run smoothly.
