One of the most fun party experiences so far this year. It's far from the traditional stealth game and I love it for it.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Is there any hope remaining that Valve lets them do the pre-order items?

Finally! Awesome that it's coming out in such an empty week, hopefully it'll get a lot of exposure that way.
One thing that already distracting me though watching the videos is the voice acting of the guards in french is ter-ri-ble. I wish I could switch it to english :/

 

[Toma]

Already prepurchased! Bring it on! Its been AGES.

I like it. The accent is truly the one of a French guy.

I cant believe it's actually, finally coming out. It feels like a decade.

IIRC they had too many errors on the models and it just couldn't get taken care of by now. I think they wanted to have it settled by the time the launch trailer and steam preorder went up (today) so if they aren't there now, I doubt they'll be there in a week.

Also, the guards speaking in goofy french is intentional. The game is very lighthearted and lampoon-y.

5 years actually. There werent many other popular Indie games that top that.

That's too bad

 

[clockpunk]

Been looking forward to this for such a long time. Was overjoyed when it was announced for XBLA as well - simultaneous release too, no less.

Points are ready and waiting for next wednesday.

Although it does painfully remind me of Intorversion's cancelled Subversion... :-/

 

[Bricky]

It has the same tagline as Thief 4. Once again AAA game developers steal ideas from the indies.

 

[Zeppelin]

So is this some kind of multiplayer Commandos?

Watched the trailer. The art style is awful, you can't see shit.

 

[Salsa]

prototypes winning the IGF are a weird thing. I think that while it obviously benefits developers, it still creates this pressure of your game getting a shit ton of coverage while you're not even half done with the development. Happened with FEZ as well.

 

[Dimitri2401]

Pre-ordered. Now I'm eagerly waiting for next week!

And I also hope that Valve will let them have pre-orders items for TF2, because I like to sell stuff on the market.

 

[Salsa]

remember that if you get it from the official site you get those extras for the same amount of money and 100% of it goes to the devs. It's a much better deal now that the TF2 items are kinda out of the question.

It is amazing what you can do with two colors and a small square of pixels.

Pretty sure Thief 3 used that same line in its trailers about a decade ago

 

[Bricky]

Not that I know, and I actually watched a few Thief trailers on YouTube for that just now.

 

[PedroLumpy]

Saw the guy behind this do a panel with Nels from Mark of the Ninja at PAX East 2012. Interesting guy and a super interesting game. Should be a blast!

 

[ekim]

Single Player Mode?

 

[iavi]

This game just seems to do MP right. I haven't even played it, but from all I've seen, it almost seems as if it captures the frantic four on a couch energy earlier Mario Party's used to have.

Cannot wait at all.

 

[Salsa]

Single Player Mode?

yes, but it's bound to be better as an mp experience

Also, Imma gonnna challenge you in clairvoyance

 

[Visualante2]

Cool OP I like the simplicity.

Hard to imagine it living up to the hype after such a long wait, but I'm quite excited to try it out. Seems to be doing fairly well in the charts too.

From what I gather the PC version has been more or less done for a while and it got held back for a 360 version.

10% goes to Humble payments for processing afaik. But it's a slightly better cut. The TF2 items looked kinda crappy imo. No offense to whoever made them.

Not sure how many people really wanted it for that reason They probably would have fetched a decent price on Marketplace.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

Heard about this for the first time half a year ago and have been excited ever since! Looks like a multiplayer game that I could sink hours into with the right group.

 

[Corto]

Pre-ordered and expecting a great game with great music from Austin Wintory.

 

[Axispowers]

I've never heard of this game before. Looks great!

 

[The Illiterati]

I think the gameplay looks like a ton of fun. I don't like the art style however. Every video of it I've viewed, I can't tell what is happening whatsoever. I think it is the overuse of blocky pixels. Perhaps it is just my mind, but I can't parse the intent behind most of the character graphics when they look this way.

Try it nonetheless if there is a demo. I had the exact same problem watching videos of Hotline Miami but when I played it myself it was a completely different experience.

 

[PedroLumpy]

Single Player Mode?

My impression was single player tends to be slower, more 'traditional' stealth experience, while in multiplayer, things tend to get crazy pretty quickly.

 

[Kouichi]

Pretty sure Thief 3 used that same line in its trailers about a decade ago

Close. Thief 3's tagline was "What's yours can be mine."

Game sounds awesome, but I got no xbox or decent pc

Hope I can play it one day!

 

[Uiki]

Bought it some time ago..i can't wait to finally play it.

 

[xJavonta]

Just bought it... from Steam. Goddamnit I'm an idiot I wanna play nowwwww

 

[Salsa]

but I got no xbox or decent pc

this will run fine on a not really decent PC

So... what's it supposed to be?

 

[Sloane]

Yes! Been waiting for this game for years.

 

[ekim]

yes, but it's bound to be better as an mp experience

But I have no friends.

 

[feel]

Did they change the art-style? It looks cool but I couldn't figure out what was going on in any of the scenes from the trailer. I remember watching an old video (years ago?) where everything felt more clear.

 

[Wok]

So... what's it supposed to be?

Four thieves and a building.

-OFFICIAL TRAILER-​

Is the transcript available? I am struggling to get some words.

Monte Carlo
This city
is my prison
And YOU
are going to help me escape

Listen closely
This will be
a four-man operation
And we are going to need recruits

First
bring me a locksmith
A man whose fingers move in his sleep,
He doesn't need brains, nah,
Just a particular set of talents

Have you seen this beggar
with the monkey?
This man shall be our pickpocket

We also need a woman
The lookout
Someone trained from youth
to see danger
around every corner

And lastly
a man who can not control his violent urges
Bring me a man familiar with chloroform

I don't expect loyalty, non
I expect criminals
Find them
Bring them here
I need to introduce them
To the family

Bring me my thieves, mon ami
Spare no expense
What's Mine Is Yours
And Monaco
is mine

I think it's hard to convey in the trailers cause they show some advanced scenes, but I doubt the game is gonna have that issue once you get used to it

 

[iavi]

The narration during the trailer was fantastic. Well written stuff.

 

[Mazre]

Impulse bought. Between this and Soul Sacrifice all sorts of co-op goodness lately.

 

[derExperte]

Just bought the 4-pack, if someone wants in pm me.

edit: all gone

Clairvoyance, bro. Awesome game of the cutest robot chess deathmatch!
