Disco Elysium successor XXX Nightshift is sick of your jokes about its name, announces it's called Tangerine Antarctic and it's a 3rd-person RPG now While the path Magpie takes through the trailer seems fairly linear, developer Maze Theory has already stated that missions will have multiple routes of approach. There's a particularly neat moment where Garrett, whose spirit is contained in a magical jewel called the Eye which Magpie carries around, warns the younger thief to be careful when a guard approaches. If that's dynamic, as it seems to be, then it's a clever way of folding Garrett presence into general play. Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow — New Gameplay Video | Coming Dec 4 — YouTube Watch On hat said, there are a few things I remain unconvinced by. I cannot get on board with the voice actor they've chosen for Magpie. I'm sceptical of using British accents in Thief generally—its urban fantasy is heavily rooted in Chandler's hard-boiled detective fiction, so American accents make a lot more sense. But Magpie's broad Lancastrian tones are particularly jarring. Nobody in the Thief universe should be capable of saying "Y'alright, love?" and I say that as a fellow Northerner. The other thing is that the Thief games are weird as shit, at least up until Thief 2014, and I'm not getting sufficient bizarro vibes from Legacy of Shadow's world and soundscapes. Thief could make you reluctant to go into corners even when you knew there was nothing there, simply because the sound emanating from it was so profoundly unnatural as to make you question your sanity. Still, I'm more optimistic than I was before. It may not be exactly what I want from a Thief game, but there's enough I like the look of for me to give it a chance. Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow launches on December 4, which given the quieter release schedule that month, should give it half a chance of attracting some attention.
