Apologies this video took a while. I got sick recently and it impacted me a lot.
Should be a big, big video soon, on an old, old game. Stay tuned!
my system is so infected with spyware your video got recomended to after you got mentioned on someones elses video about my house.wad giving you credit for helping him with his graphics settings from your messages on the forum
A lot of us viewers don't comment so I can safely say for a lot of us after the Big Iron Lung Bang, we really do enjoy your content and hope the channel steadily grows.
I agree with this statement
absolutely in love with the resurgence of low-poly indie games. what a terrific medium to tell a story when big studios are all aiming for a kind of cinematic realism.
This game existing just made me all the more hopefull for Dark Messiah of Might and Magic getting a similar spiritual successor.
That game was amazing for its time, the gameplay still beats most modern games tbh.
I like how now when you enter 451 into a safe it just explodes
I do love all the old style indie devs out there right now hope to be involved in a game like these one day
Great video my guy, your way of making videos is a nice mix of humor and review keep up the good work.
After the doom mod video I’ve been slowly going through all the videos on this channel. Just wanted to restate my appreciation for how comforting, entertaining, and informative your channel is. Please continue to make content
Fun fact, I had literally no idea that "0451" was a special code. I did, however, know that it would get you into the Satcom (Satellite Communications?) in Deus Ex... because I've played that part of the game so much I memorized that code.
This channel is still criminally underrated..
Don't worry, the criminals will be caught and punished.
I sure hope it comes out on Nintendo Switch someday.
Saw this game floating around on my Steam and never really gave it much attention as I assumed it was just a horror.
After seeing your review though and seeing how similar it is to the old Thief games, I will definitely be checking it out and keeping my eye on it!
Smashing review!
Another fantastic game recommendation, with this and the whole Iron Lung Bungaloo you've definitively made a subscriber of me. Fantastic content, keep it up!
loved playing this game… really looking forward to the full release!!
I hope, as just like a small nod, they make one of the save point gramophones play the same music as the ultrakill terminals (Both games made by NewBlood)
Another thing I liked that I think it may have took a bit of inspiration from resident evil 4 is that out and out combat IS an option, at least for a bit while you have ammo and you are a little through the demo and you have a shotgun. You never feel like you have enough to go full guns blazing, but there are definitely situations where you can calculate taking out a few gaurds loud being worth it, or if you get caught, you can save it with a few rounds. But it does feel like it costs you regardless.
And the actual combat loop can be pretty fun too, judging if you got enough space to take out a number of gaurds before they can reach you, how long it takes to reload, dodging into a bit of cover to avoid a gunshot, maybe taking a calculated risk firing only 2 revolver rounds and finishing off the gaurd with a final cansword thrust if you are feeing skilled enough. It has its own resident evil like dance to it thats pretty fun in itself.
image if they add an sniper for the soviets or actually made by an irl sniper and add in or an secret ending and could add an workshop as gmods.
8:45 exactly what i was thinking
I remember seeing that guard in armor and thinking “nah no way that’s actually a chest plate it’s probably just so he has variation” and than clang
I'm so excited for this, but I wanna wait until it's complete before start.
Another good indie Thief style game is Neon Struct. It's Thief in a cyberpunk world.
well, id also say Dark Messiah also seems largely thief inspired as well.
True, Its stealth isnt particularly robust and the combat is definitely more front and center, but how it plays is very much thief-like. The head tilting, physics engine and general play VERY much put me in this realm of games.
wow, I've actually always dreamed of a game like this, for years.
This is hype. I'm late to the party, but I'll more than gladly pick up the 8 month old chips, dip and more than just flat soda.
Really loving your videos, and this game sounds and look fun as fuck! Thank you for talking about it!
You should try the 451 Code again. After the recent Update it was changed smile
I wonder if there is any project like vampire the masquerade.
Fun note completely unrelated to the game: you can lay in bed with your phone up to your face and your eyes will actually be okay! It's a misconception that it actually damages your eyesight
"Your aquired reading has failed you again"
11:49 behebit
I got Thief: Deadly Shadows when it came out. I wanted to like it, but I would play for a session or two, then just not go back to it. I never managed to figure out why it wasn't as compelling as the originals.
I mean, technically that shotgun doesn't do what the burgess did to allow it to fold like that, but like. nobody would know what the hell was going on with the animation if you tried to use the burgess style pump on the wrist
(because it's super weird!!!)
i hope this game will come out on console too... i know it wont but i still hope
How did he not mention Splinter Cell!
faith, try it.
1:08 he pronounces it wrong lol, can't blame him tho
sir you are being hunted vibes
Im not sure if I watched this, and commented already, but if you talk about that damn ring like metro doesnt exist ima be pissed. I dunno if they invented diagetic light gems, but they certainly did it long before this game did.
Day-oos Ex.
Now you know how to say it and will never say it wrong again... right?
What was wrong with thief (2014)
The first code isn't 451. _This garbage is literally unplayable._
Those goggles remind me of Helghasts from Killzone.
edit: Mhrm, quite fitting considering that there may be some occult stuff going on in the universe of the game. Making those lights from the eyes a bit more creepy.
I dont understand why they immediately die from a backstab
Stand right there and turn your back to me...
Uh, because it's a backstab?
Just because it has stealth mechanics it doesn't mean its thiefish. Stealth mechanics are literally done to exhaustion.
You've clearly never played a Thief game if you can't see this was inspired by it
@@puff7145 Right?! Small details like the door handles are straight out of Thief.
2:10 Sure we don´t, greedy UA-camr, should be wouldn´t...
8:48 did he just say the n-word??
