It is now official. Thief has gone gold and will be seeing our consoles and PCs soon. Soon as in February 25th for us here in North America and days afterward for everyone else not in Japan. So with that announcement of course we get a new game trailer for Thief but not the typical one. In fact this is more of what to expect in the game instead of a bunch of hype video to get you excited. Don't get me wrong, there is hype in the video, but that isn't the main focus. Let's watch.
As I have said every other time I see new gameplay for Thief, I just can't get away from the similarities to all of the other recent titles out there. Even Eidos' Deus Ex: Human Revolution is mentioned here as being an "inspiration" but it really looks like we are getting a medieval version of that game. I can't stop drawing the comparisons which doesn't sit well with me. It's ok for games to be similar but I keep seeing clone.
I guess we will find out for sure if it is just implied or if Thief is just a clone to so many other titles. I guess it would make sense if a game like Thief stole from… HEY, WAIT A MINUTE…
