《神偷4》玩法剧情新细节

在刚刚举行的2013年纽约动漫展上，Square Enix最新潜行类游戏《神偷4》的制作组透露了关于游戏的剧情和游戏机制的新信息。

Eren原先是个孤儿，一直在妓院里端茶倒水直至长大。之后她逃了出来并碰到了神偷大师即游戏系列主角Garrett，Garrett看她可怜就收留了她，并训练她成为自己的传人。但是Eren十分叛逆并开始杀戮，师徒俩分道扬镳，经过一些列的事情，Eren最终死亡。

当Garrett意识到自己已经开始堕落后，他离开了这个城市一年。同时，一个叫Orion的人正在召集穷苦饥饿的人跟随“黑暗”，于是Garrett又重新开始了行侠仗义。

在展会上，《神偷4》还放出了游戏第一关的演示视频，下面就是关于演示视频发现的游戏特性：

-第一关的任务是从Baron公关内偷一个叫“狮王之心”的宝石
-游戏的画面细节十分丰富
-光照和阴影在游戏中很重要
-Garrett有一种能力叫“集中（Focus）”，可以让偷窃更加容易，当然你也可以关闭这种能力，更有挑战性
-你可以从敌人身上偷取钥匙，金钱等物品。金钱可以用够购买新的装备比如钢丝钳，不同种类弩箭等等
-分散警卫注意力在游戏中十分重要
-不同的地面行走会发出不同的声音，造成不同的吸引，比如毯子就可以跑着走也没声
-可以通过钥匙孔，墙缝来观察
-警卫通过眼镜来巡逻，而不像大多数游戏那样来回游走，他们还能通过环境的变化来追寻到主角。如果你跟警卫干上了，那么你肯定就完了
-游戏中大部分的线索是通过警卫对话得知的，难度不同，对话不同
-游戏会有道德积累
-没有多人游戏和合作模式，但会有单人游戏的排行榜
-近战操控十分困难，不鼓励玩家玩暴力流
-世界可以自由探索，超多的隐藏的要素

- The gameplay footage shown at NYCC has Garrett fairly talkative with himself
- Internal monologues are where most of his talking is right now
- “Here he’s very talkative,” says Daniel Windfeld Schmidt, lead level designer
- Daniel implies that he and the game’s narrative director (Steve Gallagher) will go over that later and decide whether to keep it in
- Hints will be limited
- “We don’t want him to talk that much.”
- “It’s a fine line of giving enough of his character without making him feel like a condescending person.”

《神偷4》游戏总监确认取消游戏中经验值系统

　　《神偷4》游戏总监Nicolas Cantin在论坛的问答中确认了游戏中的经验值系统已经删除了。游戏总监Nicolas Cantin说到之前原本是想以经验值来表现玩家的游玩进度但是这个系统会减少游戏中盗窃元素的体现，所以我们把经验值系统剔除出去了。而且在E3上玩家们对这个经验值系统给出了不好的评价，我们觉得玩家们的反应是正确的。

　　现在，玩家将使用偷来的金币来获得并选择使用更加隐蔽或更加激进的工具。Schmidt称这种改变并没有那么惊人。“《神偷》系列游戏中，即使玩家没有经验值也不会影响游戏，就像玩家不需要杀掉任何人就可以打通游戏一样，”他说。从中也可以看出，Eidos蒙特利尔工作室可能还考虑了其他的玩家回馈，因为这篇帖子以“开发者将对QTE系统做出解释”结束。《神偷4》将于2014年2月登陆PC、PS3、Xbox 360以及Xbox One。

Thief 'Stories from The City' Part 1 ~ Basso's Gamble

   

First in a New Series of Videos Released Today

Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal, the award winning studio behind the critically acclaimed Deus Ex: Human Revolution today released the first trailer in a new series of stylized videos that focus on the rich tapestry of Thief, its City and its characters.

Each trailer in this new series tells the story of The City from the perspective of a different character in Thief's narrative describing what life is like in the broken, repressed City that is being ravaged by the evil Baron Northcrest and the mysterious sickness known as ‘The Gloom’.

The first trailer focuses on Basso, a former safe-cracker turned fence, who uses his vast connections to The City’s underworld to organize thieving jobs for Garrett. He owns an intelligent, but bad tempered magpie called Jenivere who delivers messages for him. Garrett might consider himself a loner, but Basso is the nearest thing he has to a friend - and whether he readily admits it or not; he rather likes the fellow.

Thief launches on February 25, 2014 in North America on Windows PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Thief ‘Lockdown’ Screens & artworks

New Thief Screens and Copncept Art Available Now

Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal today released a new selection of screenshots and concept arts taken from a mission at the beginning of the game called ‘Lockdown’.

Baron Northcrest has enforced a ruthless lockdown on the population of the City to control the uprising and quell the spread of a mysterious sickness that spreads through the streets, gripping people’s minds with crippling nightmares and terrible voices in their heads. Nobody feels safe from the sickness that the people on the streets call ‘The Gloom’.

Having returned to the City Garrett must reach his hideout on the other side of the Baron’s brutal lockdown, although he overhears of some precious items in a nearby jewelry store. He chooses to infiltrate the store on the way and although he knows this won’t be easy, he can’t help but steal a glimpse of what lies inside.

Thief is due for release on February 25 in North America and on February 28 in all European and PAL territories.

　　在当初发布的游戏预览中，作为故事主人公的加雷特（Garrett）为了引导玩家，总是会将自身状况通过自言自语的方式表示出来，这一对话系统大大损害了本应沉默寡言的主角形象。听到这种批评的新版《神偷》，将主角的说话提示转换成了界面提示，作品的整体质量也得到了大幅提高。



■《神偷》新加入的界面提示选项：

• 导航用信息
• 交互用信息

• 体力指示计（开/关/淡出后消失）
• Focus指示计（开/关/淡出后消失）
• 弹药指示计（开/关/淡出后消失）
  

Display Options

Each of these can be turned on or off individually based on your preferences:

Thief 'Stories from The City' Part 2 ~ The Queen of the Beggars Sees All

Thief 'Stories from The City Part 2 Trailer Released Today

Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal, the award winning studio behind the critically acclaimed Deus Ex: Human Revolution, today released the second trailer in a series of stylized videos that focus on the rich narrative and characters of Thief’s corrupt and broken city.

Each trailer in the series tells a story from the perspective of a different character describing life in the broken, repressed City that is being ravaged by the ruthless Baron Northcrest and the mysterious sickness known as ‘The Gloom’.

“Let me tell you about the City.
We both know a thing or two about survival. We have grown old together.
Time and again it has been brought down, only to rise from its own ashes.
But this time is different. The balance has shifted;
There will be blood. Seeping, oozing; bleeding from every artery in this city.
But still… there is one who may yet be the key.
One who fears the light inside him as much as the darkness.
Yes… He will do nicely”

Nobody knows how old the Queen of the Beggars actually is; rumor has it she’s as old as The City itself. Some say that although she is blind - she sees through the eyes of the rats that riddle the city streets. Despite being on the lowest layer of society, the Queen of the Beggars operates the beggar’s court with more respect, diplomacy and wisdom, than many of the people with real positions of power in the City. She is a wise, some say all knowing character whose words, beliefs and judgements should be revered.

Thief is due for release on February 25, 2014 in North America.
