watched any gameplay video? It looks pretty good from what Ive seen. Seems kinda like a splinter cell type stealther as you have this special see in the dark ability. One part I watched you had a water arrow and could shoot out fire pits to make dark and then sneak down and choke hold a guy. Looked pretty cool.
Neo is a member on this site who seemed to only post in the Xbox One preorder thread. You would think he was paid to say the things he said if they weren't so over the top. Major Nelson is his hero, his most cherished memories involve Xbox, etc, etc. I believe he even claimed to have dreams involving Major Nelson. It was by far some of the funniest things I have read on this site.
I don't have high expectations for Thief. It looks more like a clone of Dishonored than a true thief game and I was hugely disappointed in that. Calling it now the game is plagued with messy mechanics, poor AI, and gets mediocre reviews.
Debbie downer much?

Which honestly is fine with me... take two successful franchises in games, add it with a huge universe, you get the game people have been wanting! looks next gen too!
games copy each other. Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo cant sue all the platformer mario clones out there.
Easy, the idea and game mechanics are not protected under copyright law. What is protected, is the code as a whole, any video or audio recordings and the dialogue.
I'm not talking about concepts here: they're using art assets and code ripped straight from AC games. It's so obvious just from watching the alpha footage that the mo-cap is the same and the ropes he uses to cross on are the same. I'd be shocked if they could prove me wrong.
All the stuff is similar but if it's not identical. I would bet dollars to donuts that the code differs enough even though the visual representation is very similar ie nearly identical.
I mean, how many way could you climb a building or along a ledge anyway?
I really doubt they're using art assets ripped from the game. Most likely they got their own artists to generate a game that looked very similar. It may be close enough and there may be a lawsuit but that suit won't be resolved for YEARS (long after it's no longer relevant).
Exactly what I was thinking when I watched that side by side video.
It was. There are pretty much always droughts post-launch. That's a big reason I seldom buy at launch as I just end up paying top dollar for a console that gathers dust most of the first year or so after I get bored of the couple big launch titles.
Noted.
Playstation Now will help this summer, and games will slowly trickle out... it is why I stick to my sports games that can be played over and over again. Second Son will be awesome, I loved the previous three, and everyone who has played it said it is better than those. Not to mention we have no idea what E3 will bring. I am happy, Have plenty to tide me over, Not to mention Outlast next week, and driveclub in march.
I'm bracing for disappointment and hoping it's unjustified. The variety and quality of visuals in the trailers is outstanding, I genuinely have a hard time believing it'll live up to it.Good lord, Second Son looks incredible. Its also running at TRUE 1080p according to PSblog. March cant come soon enough.
Ha, I'm in a role reversal with you. Everyone I know couldn't care less but I love the series. :lol:
Nope. First one got old pretty quick for me. Might try it just because there's nothing out there, but not because I'm a fan of the series.
The Limited/Collector's Edition comes with dlc that tells what happens between the 2 games so you'll probably play as him in that
Me too, and I usually don't go for the collector's editions. Don't really care for the cover art for the CE though...Im a huge infamous fan, it was one of my favorite series last gen. Part 2 is waaay better than the first one though and I would recommend playing it if you haven't. Second Son looks amazing to me from what I've seen so far. I got the CE pre-ordered (thank you GCU) and Im counting down the days until release.
Yet another gif stolen from gaf lol
This is how every new console launches. I would say this gen is better than previous. The PS4 has free games with PS+. I don't recall any console that allows me to have 3 free games to play. It looks like there are some really good games coming in February and March so I think it's going well.
