Thief: Deadly Shadows preview

This is one of the game i'm waiting so far. It'll be out officially 26th May. This is the 3rd installment in the Thief series. You play the role of Garrett, a master thief; you plunder the riches and take it for yourself. Not exactly Robin Hood is he? He's what you call the anti-hero. I played the first and the second but at that time i wasn't seriously hooked to it; so i never did finish both. But that's all gonna change with this one. I can't wait to play it! Shadows and lightings are gonna play a major role this time around. Even sneaking up behind someone is hard if the bad guy ever saw your shadow past him. That's hard! This game is made by the same people who did Deus Ex Invisible War and will use the updated graphics engine from it. So you see, lightings here are pretty well done and more advanced than in Deus Ex.

The 3rd person view implemented might just make the game a bit different from the series. The 1st person is still there; you possibly couldn't get a good aim when arrow'ing' in a 3rd person manner. In 3rd person you'll see Garrett move about, doing his stuff and the animations will be astonishing. You just got to see it. Here's the new trailer, check it out :
