In the Rev3games gameplay walkthough/interview, the Dev specifically said how you could go back and play any level as many times as you like, to collect anything you missed first time around.

I'd like to know as well - I've got the PS4 version preordered :/
Seems like another game where Master difficulty should have been normal. This game is a lot like Knack in that respect, not a very fun game at normal difficulty but Thief starts to shine at hard difficulty plus a few extra options like no focus. Of course most game reviewers will review games at easy or normal difficulty to get through it as quickly as possible...

Well shit. How is that even possible in a five-year dev cycle?
I have encountered a game-stopping bug on this room(warning, shitty steam screenshot ahead):
What's the bug? Holding E to pass through doesn't work I take it?

Make sure to remember where each level entry is... they don't mark them on the map once you beat the game and finding them is a pain in the ass.
Yes it is
I rented this on the PS4 and damn,the port is pretty bad...it probably doesnt look a lot better then the PS3 version and the framerate is all over the place...I usually dont mind the occasional dips and all but this is ridiculous...I hope there is a patch coming or something...?
I am also having a lot of problems switching and equipping things with the touchpad,I hope there is another option for this,I will check later...did the prologue and stopped at the start of chapter 1...
You know that she didn't publicly announce her involvement in this game right until yesterday? You know that's likely because she was not happy with how it turned out?
I doubt it's her fault really. Sounds like she was frustrated with the entire writing process and chose to not let it taint her name due to possible lack of any authorial control on her part. Can't say I blame her.

Picked up a Steam code for Thief on eBay for $24. Not too shabby considering I was going to bite on the X1 version for $60+tax. Looking forward to diving in after work, woohoo!
Unlucky man, have you tried reloading the whole level and not just the checkpoint?
I've been really enjoying the game myself. Feels enough like Thief to me sneaking about the City and dodging guards in the shadows. The only big issue I've encountered so far are sound bugs in cut scenes, some characters are really quiet or the lip syncing messes up.

Pratchett wrote this one as well?
Has she EVER wrote a good game story?

Several people (including myself) have asked these questions, and unfortunately no one seems to know the answer.

There has got to be someone in GAF who's had in depth experience with the PS4 (or XB1) build? Someone who had reviewed the game on either of those platforms?
I'd just like to know if the visuals look next gen and how the PS4 frame rate holds up during extended play sessions....

Happened to me, and yes, you have to HOLD E to get through those things.
Hmm, I've played for about 6 hours with FlyVPN but now steam suddenly refuses to connect online. Not sure why that is the case. The VPN itself is working as I can use other programs with it. I'm getting almost worried.
Edit: Looking at Netlimiter, I can see steam sending and receiving data when trying to connect, so it's definitely got a connection established. I dunno why it's refusing me to go online.
Edit 2: Rebooting fixed the problem. Still not sure what the problem was, but eh!

You have to beat the entire game first.
Visuals can look like they have some nextgen features at times but nothing amazing stand out. The atmosphere is great though. I can't speak for xbox 1 but PS4 framerate def dips often but never really affected my gameplay. It was noticable but never a bother.

So this or Castlevania. Both seem to be getting trashed in some reviews :]

Thank you!
I'm excited about being sucked into a dark and gloomy world. I need something immersive, a counterbalance. I've been sucked in by the vibrant voodoo (on WiiU): DKTF.
^_^
I'll keep my preorder and pick it up this afternoon.
That was easy

Never understood the hype behind her. Apparently she worked on Bioshock Infinite too? At least that was better than the above...
She didn't write this. She "helped out" on some of the pre-rendered cutscenes, that's it.
For those wondering about the touchpad...you have to push down on it to leave it open and then slide your finger to one of the icons but it doesnt always work,you accidently get out of it and have to retry...I am trying to go from the water arrows to an empty bottle to throw but it takes me 3 or 4 tries to select the bottle...maybe its just me but its annoying...
Also about the framerate,like I mentionned before,it's not good so far on the PS4...maybe the game wasn't fully installed...I could play it after about 2 minutes...its choppy for example when you switch from a cutscene into a loading and back,like it cuts out or something...not very smooth and if its 1080p,it can fool me because it looks nothing like AC4...
My PS4 is on standby mode now,to recharge the controller so if it wasn't all installed and that is what was causing all the hiccups,I will soon find out...

Oh I know the feeling. Let's just say after Thief, I put in DK for the first time and it was a perfect counter balance to the gloom and doom I mentioned. Did you happen to see my video review on Thief?

So I went to Metacritic to see what people think, and... wow...
Metacritic's user reviews are so pathetic. If someone dislikes a game, they'll give it a 0 to try and make the average score as low as possible. If someone likes a game, they'll give it a 10 to try and counter the 0s and increase the score. The result is a pissing and shitting contest flooded with 0s and 10s and very few good, honest reviews with reasonable scores in between.
They need to do away with user averages all-together, but still allow people to write reviews for games. Since there'd no longer be any incentive to give a game a 0 or 10 even if it didn't deserve it (there'd be no average to reflect the ridiculous scores) I think we'd see much better user reviews that way. Sadly, however, the current system will likely never change.

Can you list your specs?

I made a long-ish post in the PC performance thread here.
It's really, really low spec and ancient, but for a UE3 based game and my prior experiences with other games made with the same base engine (e.g. the Arkham games, Dishonored, Enslaved etc), it has no business running as bad as it currently does. Even when every setting has been disabled/dialed down.

Would be curious to hear your overall thoughts on the game once you complete it and how it stands with you. Be sure to PM me if you remember to

Will do!
First Thief game, so I'll see how this goes.
What was wrong with Hitman Absolution on very hard difficulty? I completed it in normal diff not so long ago but I wonder what is the problem with the higher ones.
Holding E didn't work, I saw a somewhat similar bug with windows where they wouldn't open unless I took a few step backs and pulled my bow before holding E. It was really strange.

I usually refrain from promoting livestreams, but Dan from Dansgaming is about to start a PS4 playthrough on hardest difficulty.
I consider Dan to be a very fair and balanced guy, and he's also a good gamer in general. If anyone is on the fence and just wants to check the game out, I can recommend moving over to his stream on Twitch.
