Ocean made some pretty horrible SNES games, but they did have a couple of talented musicians on staff. Jonathan Dunn was one of them, he did the music for Jurassic Park as well as the lion's share of Ocean's games.
It's a shame really, their games are usually technically solid as well, but they honestly didn't seem to know what makes a fun video game. There was a lot of wasted talent over there...
I wrote a piece a while ago where I compared Thief to Dishonored. In the original games, Garrett is NOT a fighter by any stretch. You don't want to get spotted or end up in a sword fight. The video does say that they are trying to make the kind of game that you can play any way you want (like Dishonored) so that may be different this time around.
Thief, in my opinion, should absolutely be a first person game. That's what made the Looking Glass developed Thief titles so intense. Don't worry about the setting, the original games took a pretty similar visual cue. It's Victorian sure, but expect to see a different take on it than Assassin's Creed. One of the biggest plot points in Thief was the conflict between industry and nature. Who knows if they're going to go there again, but I don't see why they wouldn't.
IT Oompa Loompa for New York State.
It's worth pointing out that quite a few of the staff here (myself included) used to be regulars at 1up before we started writing for PixlBit.
I feel like we should fist bump or something...
Oh I'm actually not done with bad toilets yet. Just you wait.
No we were on a different one, lol. I think we reached our quota of exploding toilets on the train ride.
To this point, my vacations were pretty much flawless. I think all the bad stuff got stored up, then dumped all at once on this one. It's pretty amazing.
I was fine until I got the poop stew on my pants. The only think that kept me from puking was the thought that I'd have to puke in that toilet
Don't let this scare you too much, I've had some great vacations, and honestly the kids really loved it. This one though... not my favorite. Lession learned: Keep it simple. This one just had too many moving parts.
