Wander over to Ferrago for a preview of Ion Storm's 'Thief: Deadly Shadows':
Thief: DS will mark the first time that Garret has made his way over to consoles, with his appearance on the PC mirrored on the Xbox. The biggest change that this has brought about is the inclusion of a third-person mode. PC gamers fret not as the first-person mode is still the default view, and as the camera will be locked on to Garret, the scope for some unfair use of the camera to spy around corners should be kept to a minimum. After the furore of the Deus Ex sequel many gamers are worried about how T: DS will turn out. While it has been confirmed that changes have been made to the gameplay to better accommodate the console player it appears that Ion Storm have listened to the concern of PC gamers. So while the control methods have been tweaked the overall depth of the game has been increased rather than diminished. The physics engine has been tweaked to make it a lot more realistic in comparison to DE: IW. Fortunately, the move to console hasn't deprived Garret of one of his most useful abilities, a save anywhere function, and the keys will be fully configurable for the fussy keyboard drivers amongst you. Garret will also have some dynamic moves to thrill the player with, and he will be able to take guards out nice and stealthy, although what he does with the body could have implications later on in the mission if another guard spots his unfortunate colleague's toes sticking out from behind some curtains.
