Too painful to talk about this game... The remake is just a game, first was a piece of art that will actually give you something to this life. For those who speak Czech or Slovak please watch this https://youtu.be/g20XjZQiFSc The original creator of the game talks about the remake... What kills me is that when you say Mafia in 10 years, people will have probably played this remake and they will think you are an idiot for thinking of the first game so highly.
As I am not into stealth very much, but I love Thief's atmosphere. I really really love I could finally approach this as an action game. The demo really surprised me. The inventory, atmosphere, gameplay, all are amazing. Unfortunately, the biggest criticism is that I wish that they would optimize it better for low-end pcs. With Core i3 and HD 4000 on my 11-inch dell, I had to play at 640x480 and I still did not have solid 60fps which is disappointing considering the graphics. Luckily on my desktop with FX8320, 8GB ram, and GTX 1060 I got solid 60fps on 1080p. I don't mind graphics in games, in fact, I think I prefer older games' graphics because more is happening in your mind and the game is much stronger and memorable. I really hope they take time with this and release something incredible. But I think the game will release finished like the games used to. From the demo, I felt the game is created with love, from gamers to gamers. Thank god the indie scene is still good because AAA games went so downhill it's really depressing. Especially companies like EA are such a joke, which is ironic since their name is literally Electronic ARTS, but they don't create games as art. I really hope they will release a physical version on Switch too, definitely buying that. Thank you Dillon Rogers and David Szymanski, can't wait for your game.
this is how it is supposed to be. I wish Rockstar was not so silly and let gog released their games too. It took me 2 months to run Manhunt 1 on Windows 10, and Max Payne 3 has silly rockstar social club DRM, that made me pirate the game even when I bought it.
