Thief (4) - Alternate/Extended Trailer

An Alternate/Extended trailer of the "Out of the Shadows" trailer that we got in 2013.

You are Garrett, the Master Thief. The City you once knew has changed. Your thieving skills are all you can trust as you walk the fine line between politics and the people, entangled in layers of conflict. With time running out, you'll unravel a dark, personal secret from the past that ultimately threatens to tear your world apart.

Get ready to become the shadows. Become the Master Thief. Become Garrett.

Release date(s):
NA February 25, 2014

over 200 hours of playing, every detail found and researched, 37/37 achievements, I hope a new sequel arrives in 2024 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

i really enjoyed the game and played it more than once, but i die hope it would be more like the Trailer ..
well hopefully we get a fully realised Thief game soon in the next 10 years or so.

I'm a little late to the party but... I think having some NPCs in the rooms that you break into would have been a little bit of an improvement. just bought the book of the art direction. love it.

Stephen Russell is better than the "Average McHollywood" voice we ended up getting. This trailer would have gotten me MUCH more excited about the game.
But, as people have stated below... even Stephen Russell's magical voice wouldn't fix the steaming PILE that NuThief turned into.
And now I am going to go play some Dark Mod missions.

"I own the night" 

It's the subtle way in where he says "o-w-n" almost in a strain, almost in an off-key manner that makes Garret.  A nuance that Romano Orzari cannot fathom.

Either one of two possibilities is true:
1) Someone at Eidos ACTUALLY believed this voice sounded bad. 
2) There was another reason S. R. left the Thief team. 
Either way, Eidos are either liars or need to have their opinions examined. This voice and this dialogue was infinitely better than what we ultimately received!

Fun fact: instead of this, Thief 4 was supposed to be another (more literal) modern-day reboot called Thief 4: Dagger of Ways. (Note: I said "more literal modern-day reboot" because the purpose of Thief was to try to introduce Garrett to a more modern audience [which failed], whereas Dagger of Ways would've taken place in a "present day" setting.)

A lot of Fans of the Original Thief Games weren't very happy with this game. I for one, like I said, somewhat enjoyed Thief 2014 but the Original Series was in fact, for more superior in its time and that's what made the Original Series so Good!!

Garrett is best thief.Garrett is thiefs king.

[scottseguin]

Idk why people hated this game so much? I love this game but maybe that's because this is the first thief game that I played.

[dingusbinger]

I keep seeing it, but I REALLY REALLY want to know the soundtrack!

[NeonsStyleHD]

Awesome trailer, and beautifully voiced by Goldwell.

[AMETHYST]

they used Stephen Russell's voice instead on Romano Orzari's in this trailer.

[Citizen_JV]

I somewhat enjoyed Thief 2014 but it doesn't even compare to the Original Series back in the PC Days!! If I were in the Video Game Industry, I would most definitely bring back the Original Series to Consoles. They would be a perfect fit other than on the Master Race, PC 🖥

[ehcmier]

So glad S.R. didn't get the job after that debacle of development and writing.  If he had, there wouldn't have been a petition, but we'd feel bad for him aside from the employment opportunity and getting his name out to the n00bs. :p

[FretMan]

0:45 - does a pocket watch *THAT* small really exist?!



(Also, I honestly like the voice used for Garrett here, rather than the younger and more "charming" one used in the final game: this guy makes him *TRULY* sound like a *master* thief.)

[pejcamilos]

5 yaers, brng back Thief 5? Cenot wait 10 yars agen to new Thief??

[saaamoth]

The "28 days later"-ish theme is bad, but the general audio is quite good, as is the atmosphere. More subtle than what we saw earlier this year. A bit more faithful to the originals.

[BenjaminBekLzeklov]

Shere example Idc what your convention is and never will be.

For all the flak that this trailer gets, I haven't yet seen anyone commenting on something that greatly bothers me with it: this trailer is supposed to be the highlight of the gameplay. You know, how it's supposed to be played. In the trilogy of Thief games (as opposed to this Thi4f - and I thought we left that particular bad idea in the 90's, it's not even 1337-speak for Master Builder's sake) if you've been spotted and had to elude your pursuers in such a frantic way meant that you've failed: you were found, you didn't take proper care about routes of escape and you even didn't use your gizmo to curb the pursuit in the beginning and hide right away so that less guards would be alerted. Truly, even in this trailer Thi4f is a failure by the old standards. It's a power fantasy and Dishonored does that far, far better.
