Occulus Rift + Thief = Potential for Pure Win!

I would play it but I kinda doubt it will attract any newcommers, let them have their way with the upcomming atrocity that is Thief 4. Trailer looks nothing like the real thing, and my interest in the future of the series was already vaporised by Thief 3. Glad the fans keep the originals alive. I would play it for sure yes. Would love to hate having to return to the Haunted Cathedral with these graphics I am calling my doctor in advance if I do. You also suck because you like Thief 2 better by the way. No other game has terrified me as much as the first Thief did, I had to take a 4 month break after I encountered the first haunt. That was incredibly scary. I was wondering why the hell a hammarite was in an zombie-infested church and tried to blackjack it because blackjacking is awesome, that turned out to be a really bad idea. On my second playthrough I realised I should have known better as there is also one in the level that leads to the cathedral, exploration faux de moi. The robots in Thief 2 are also scary, and the masked servants sinister as can be as they are obviously suffering from the mask they are forced to wear but it never gets as much under your skin as the Boneheart or the Cathedral. Pure terror.

Absolute kudo's for the police-station and the Bank and Life at the Party though, awesome. Police station you can beat in an hour as it's a small level but it's really really tense

Gawd how I love these games. Nothing can and will ever come close. We have a fellow fanboy by the way I recently learned we can add my fellow Dutchie Hax to our lines

I lost hope for the official future of the series as well, but we fans can still continue it. (esp since they rebooted the series now)
As far as TDP being better than TMA, horse radish! Thief TDP frankly bored me through most of the game. Constantine's mansion amused me a bit, but the only level I found truly scary was (return to) the Haunted Cathedral. See, I am not big into the whole undead thing. To me it just seems silly, not scary. It ruins immersion for me, because I cannot believe myself there with those creatures when I find their whole existence to be an absurd impossibility.
Thief 2 was scarier because I could feel like I was there, and in a very real danger. And having steel floors everywhere made stuff really intense.

Good for Hax. Glad to know that there are more out there. Froggy, you, Hax, and myself makes four, so we are still a pretty small minority though. :P

Yet another update to the engine released, fixing bugs and expanding capabilities.

Hmmmmm. I will leave it to Adolf Hitler to express how I feel about Thief 4 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1MLry6Cn_D4

fs use that budget to update the Dark-engine like the fans did in their free time (kudos to Vuk for pointing it out) and create something truly amazing with the raw strength of modern pc's or the ps4. Thief can't be done on anything else. Thief DS was enough of a slap in the face enough allready, do I really need to be slapped as well. That is NOT Thief. Period.

Yeah, I almost cried when I saw what they did with Thief. They even said one of the reasons they were doing a reboot is because the story, mythology, and level of detail of the world were too complicated, and they wanted to do something simpler that related more to modern audiences. ei, they wanted to dumb it down in story as well as in game mechanics. I really hope that all the people at Eidos Montreal die of kidney failure at the same time. First Deus Ex, now Thief. What are they gonna *#&@ up next?
