Greatest.... Game.... EVER! If anyone enters this thread who doesn't have the game, buy it! To whoever was asking, I think the game of the year edition added new MP aspects.

In other news: Why does this damned machine keep giving me lemon-lime?! I wanted orange!

Anyway, I'm keeping an open mind about Deus Ex 3 but it does sound far too console influenced for what is really quite a complex game. At least the tech on consoles is closer to the PC than it was when Invisible War came out. There was a texture pack within like 6 months of release!

Agreed.  I would love 3 to be great, but after Invisible War dropped the ball (and badly) I'm very cautious.  Deus Ex to me simply requires complexity and depth - that was key to the appeal and critical success of the first, but I think it's going to be more Bioshock than Deus Ex, which I don't personally consider a good thing.

I'm also wondering how badly Thief 4 is going to be mangled too.

 

I haven't heard much on Thief 4 so I've got my finger crossed they don't completely ruin that franchise too.

I hear ya. I actually liked the direction they took with Deadly Shadows though, the free roaming bit, vendors and fences and avoiding the patrols. Just seems more natural, but I do wish they'd made more out of it (bigger areas with more things to do, houses to break into and such).

With the ending of Thief 3 : SPOILER:

doesn't it seem like Thief 4 could be set many years later with the new kid that Garret has taught as the main character? Otherwise, I don't really see the point of the ending. Then again, I won't like not playing Garret unless the new character is beyond awesome (the voice alone makes Garret stand head and shoulders above most and some of his lines are really good)! Life is hard!
