Thief trailer reveals new voice actor
The debut trailer for Square Enix's upcoming Thief reboot has leaked onto the internet. While the publisher will undoubtedly attempt to squash this leak, you can watch said video (for now).
A still from the leaked trailer
There is a rising tide of fear in The City. Hatred saturates every stone and whilst the rich prosper, the less fortunate face misery and repression. Ravaged with sickness and famine, they wait for something to change. Into this shadowy world steps Garrett the Master Thief in a first-person adventure featuring intelligent design that allows players to take full control, with freedom to choose how they approach and overcome each challenge and forge their own path through the game.

No Stephen Russel???
FUCK

Is the main character going to be Garrett? I mean, I suppose he was memorable because I remembered his name, but I couldn't say anything about his personality. I don't see why they couldn't just have a different 'Thief'. Was there much of a plot to the games anyways? I just remembered the training and the first mission.
-
It sure seems as if you haven't actually played more than the training and the first mission. :b
Yes, there was a plot. Here you go: http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Storyline#Thief:_The_Dark_Project

Shame about the voice actor. Stephen Russell had a sarcastic and non-chalant edge to his voice. This new guy is all serious business and shit.
Nice to see they kept the mechanical eye in though. I guess this is a true sequel then and not a remake of sorts?-

Looks nice enough. For a cinematic.
The hand springing out of the smoke to snatch the word "thief" away, made me lol.
Who would publish anything on April 1st?
-
awesome...
-
What is it with stealth games and the removal of iconic voice actors at the moment? Thief, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear. Cats and dogs living together I tells ya!

Uh... nope. Nope, this is not a thief game.
-
Correct. It is a cinematic.
-
uh, from that trailer, it certainly was
-
-
60% of the time stealth works every time.
-
did you play the first thief? there was a lot of combat options in it, lots of hard to sneak around enemies that you sometimes had to fight.
-
I know. That's why Thief 2 is the best in the series - they added in the combat stuff in the first because they were afraid how people would react if it was stealth-only. When the first one did well enough they felt brave enough to go all out and we got the incredible stealth masterpiece that is Thief 2.

Actually, scratch that, I've watched it a few times and the new guy isn't a patch on Russel, that wry/sarcastic/world-weary tone just added so much more to the character. If this is any indication, all we're getting is a gruff generic whisper now. Huge shame, even if they get the gameplay right (and the jury is still out on that).

i can understand why you'd want a different voice actor, but it still sucks :(

Aw man, just watched it and the whole insincere cockiness that I loved about Garrett seems to have been completely lost. He just sounds like a generic movie badass without any character.
-
Is it just me or did Garrett look suspiciously like Desmond/Altair/Ezio????
M. Night Shyamalan twist: this is an Assassins Creed game and Garrett is an ancestral assassin!!!! You heard it here first. -
-
-
I'd more guess that it'll be ok but won't quite capture that magic of the original. That said, Even with the issues that it had, Deus Ex was pretty good.
-
That is my suspicion as well, probably be a fun game but based on that trailer and some of the comments they have made it seems more like an Assassins creed type game rather than Thief.

After Metal Gear Denton comes Metal Gear Garrett.

Loved the hand snatching the logo at the end. Nice touch :)
-
Me too, thought that was way cool

TL;DR: This thief sucks.
Ad for reopening of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the picture they recreate at the end is The Nightwatch by Rembrandt. -

I've just started refering to them as "soft releases". They're dry runs and dress rehearsals used as fuel for the hype machines.
