Here Is How You Can Become The Master Thief …

Thief

Thief has gone gold and we are now getting our Master Thief 101 course. Well more like a “here’s what to expect in the game” course.

It is now official. Thief has gone gold and will be seeing our consoles and PCs soon. Soon as in February 25^th 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…
