What are the odds it'll get a remaster? How would that make you feel?

Please don't, fuck off. I hate most remasters. I just want the game to be playable on modern systems and give me a higher resolution. THAT'S ALL I WANT. And usually that's done by the fans themselves. I don't need a bunch of faggots to take artistic liberties with the graphics and make it look fucking retarded. Or make it look ugly by trying to "modernized it" and give a bunch of extra polygons or ugly lightening that makes the game look disjointed. They ruined Tomb Raider graphically. The only people who love remasters are sòi boy goy cucks and jewish youtuber faggot cunts so they can make another video on a game they already did so they can prop up their pathetic existence. (I.e shillmanlives).

Yuck. The game works fine. I'm not a zoomer faggot who can't handle "old graphics". If they need fancy lightening so badly then why do they even play old games?
>>
>remaster
It's a PC game. You can run it at any resolution with T2Fix and even install mods. Why would it ever need a remaster? God I hate zoomoids so fucking much.

The System Shock remake was surprisingly good but these really appeal to a niche market. Thief plays in a very antiquated manner and it requires a lot of buy in from the player to enjoy, most people would have to want to enjoy it and be ready to accept that it's a game made before there were any established "things that work and things that do not in video games." However, if it were remastered in such a way that it didn't play like a quarter-century old janky piece of shit, it wouldn't be Thief.

>>683707806
that's how it's been with aspyr/nightdive remakes recently, which i think is fine. for games like tomb raider, star wars bounty hunter, system shock, you have to know that theyre fucking old and play awkwardly compared to new games. the people theyre marketing these remakes to are people who probably have already played the originals and can appreciate the concept
>>
>>683705779
People obsessed with remasters are one of the reasons why the industry is trash. A game getting re-released/remastered because it legitimately doesn't work on new operating systems is one thing but a game that works perfectly fine does not need a remaster just because its graphics are dated or because it's old.
>>
>>683708301
Yeah but there's not much money in making an unofficial patch for a game to make to work on modern systems. So they have to add a bunch of other dribble like "graphical enhancements" and so forth just to be able to sell it

>>683705779
Thief is the archetypical nostalgiafag game. Its adherents play it for that cosy trip down memory lane and they'd be appalled by a visual upgrade that reminds them the 90s are over. If the remaster did anything to polish the mechanics of the game then they'd shit blood and swallow their tongues, because Thief is PERFECT you see, absolutely flawless and unimpeachable in its all its aspects. And definitely don't touch the SOUND, the immaculate footstep propagation, oh to swim in that immersive symphony of scratchy compressed audio files and be carried away to another world. NOTHING could be done to improve this. Oh Thief, oh-uh-oooh-uh fuck yeah Looking Glass and Thief oooaaah uuuhhh I'm rubbing my blackjack I'm plundering the candlestick oh I'm cumming I'm cumming I'm about to drop my loot URGH

You just said they can't handle old graphics, so they're not gonna play it. A game from 25 years ago which you need to fix is hard to market too.

tl;dr
>>
>>683709030
There are plenty of individual missions of above average quality with spider and paranormal trigger warnings for The Dark Mod, it's worth checking out.
>>
>>683705779
Horrible. Remasters are almost always just cash grabs and bring nothing of value. At best it would just mean upscaled textures and models outsourced to pajeets, at worst it'd break fan mission compatibility. As a PC exclusive game there isn't even any content or features to port over from other versions.

The only way for a Thief remake/remaster to make sense is if you could make the engine compatible with the shitload of fan-missions availables.

That being said, imagine a Thief remake with this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xFEbXWstCM

>>683709758
You can get it from its site. I use this see if more missions have been released:
https://www.thedarkmod.com/missions/?sort=releasedate
>>683709585
It depends on the mission. Some are made by newbies just using the provided assets, which includes NPC voicelines. I think they have their charm, but they're not high quality.
Then you have the pro mappers, who sometimes team up. Those usually have good voice acting made for them.

I hate the combat in The Dark Mod. I know that's the point but at least Thief 1 and 2 allowed you to defend yourself well. Dark Mod's combat system is fucking awful especially when it's near impossible just to kill a spider because it blocks your attacks.

Remaster is not needed. With NewDark it runs perfectly fine on modern systems and it is installed by default on steam and gog game releases.

Also there are shitton FM's which can have problems on a remaster, so why do we need this again?

I think it would just be WAY too extensive an update. So much so you might as well outright remake it. Except current industry would just fuck it up. At least we'd get good laughs about how a 25+ year old game still has better sound design.
>>
>>683707806
it's not really antiquated as much as it DEMANDS you play it stealthily. if anything a 1:1 updating of any kind of would just expose how stagnant the genre is.

I just want "casing the joint" and "masks" either combined, because the idea didn't work right, or have it done well.

Yesh or they should have made Casing The Joint a social undercover mission where you have to scout the place out and then the next mission is the stealth mission. That would have been better.

Why are some FM so incredibly cryptic. I had to look up a guide to figure out how to get past an area and I was supposed to look in tiniest corner underwater to find a key that I'm supposed to have. That's fucking bullshit even for a Thief FM. No clues or nothing. That's fucking bullshit

Where's the Anon with the sign? We need to tap it again to remind this board.
>>
>>683718157
I can overlook the weird broken continuity in Joint/Masks. Soulforge pissed me off quite badly because certain stages of the puzzle are just bullshit and it was the one level where I had to look up a guide. There's not much fun to be had in the place. It unites the weakest aspects of the game, with robots everywhere and wide vault-like rooms that underscore the low polygon limit and tend to look very basic. It's also one of the most quicksave-dependent, trial and error parts of the game. Definitely room for improvement.
>>

What the fuck is the point? The audio and music quality is still reasonable. The framerate can be changed to 60+ FPS with a simple .cfg alteration. The resolution can be put to virtually anything you want. You can rebind all the keys. All that can really be improved is some of the textures but there are mods for that.

The thing is despite hating the gameplay and puzzles of King's Story I absolutely love the map. The castle is so well designed and has such a unique atmosphere different compared to other FMs. The castle was actually designed after a real life castle and the guy put a ton of love and detail in it. I don't know how accurate the castle is but it definitely feels authentic. You can see the care the guy put into it if you press the credits option on the FM menu. I loved the castle so much that even after I beat the game I reloaded another save just to memorize and reexplore the whole place. I honestly fantasized about living there. Too bad the puzzles are just fucked up. I had to rely on a guide to finish it

Thief series desperately needs a modern remake
At the least it needs more onboarding and tutorials for new players, basic stuff like quest markers, proper quest log, working map and other basic hints (maybe something like the blue line in Dead Space that shows the recommended path since the levels in Thief are such a maze)
Also they should improve the graphics, animations, voice acting and change some of the characters to better reflect modern diversity standards

You know, the writing in Thief 1 and 2 is kind of underrated. The story itself is just a simple bond movie story but I can't deny that the writing is pretty solid. Also the world and setting is so great. It's miracle that it all works together so well considering how many different elements and themes they try to combine. It's amazing because this game went through so many redesigns. That fact that they were able to push out something so great

There's nothing wrong with the games from a design perspective. And if you can't play it because it's 'ugly' then you probably wouldn't enjoy it anyway.

I love how Garrett's usual motivation is just making enough cash to either retire or pay his fucking landlord. One of the first cutscenes in the second game portrays the landlord as some kind of evil entity.

Just turn the resolution up. And if you really want something that looks better, use The Dark Mod.

Resolution is the only thing that filters me about older games. It's not a deal breaker but it makes a huge difference in terms of looks

>The story itself is just a simple bond movie story
tdp in particular is a simple narrative that stands out because of how well it's told in-game: the briefings/cutscenes, garrett's quips, the readables, the npc conversations, garrett's crappy unreliable maps, the mission layouts and architecture, even the art direction and sound design (luv me bonehoard)... i could go on, all of these elements add up to produce a story that could only be conveyed in vidya form. looking glass essentially perfected environmental storytelling before it became a meme used to describe skeletons shitting on the toilet in bethesda games
i'd also love to praise thief's worldbuilding, but then i'd have to praise ken levine, and i really don't want to do that

It’s one of the reasons I love Thief so much : the ‘New Weird’-like setting, with its gonzo blend of stuff from d&d, regular Middle Ages, steam machines, and demons and lovecraftian entities and undeads, and yet everything somehow make sense, with people even pushing their version of an extended lore in fms. It makes for something that is well-defined and fascinating, but also that has with a great plasticity that you can change and adapt to your specific tastes.

i'm going to sound like a pretentious faggot for saying this style of new weird worldbuilding is the FUTURE of game writing, when thief came out 25 years ago and a lot of this postmodern shit was normalized afterwards, but i really think there's still untapped potential in it
it reminds me of tes, with ex-bethesda devs like kirkbride interacting with fans, writing their own lore independently, pushing ideas like tamriel being "anything you want it to be", and entire sects of the fandom outright ignoring official material and doing their own thing with projects like tamriel rebuilt. i'd argue the black parade and thief fms come from the same mold, except we're lucky that thief hasn't been desecrated since 2014
honestly, it feels even more relevant now, with the commercial games industry being so horribly embarrassing that it's led me to regard indie/fan stuff as being more legitimate. looking glass was so far ahead of their time that i'm still having a hard time processing it all these years later
homestuck is, unfortunately, the best modern-ish example of this mentality online that i can think of, but that's a rabbit hole i don't think anyone wants to go down

stealth game genre conventions have long since shifted towards giving the player some ability to deal with an escalated situation, as it allows for a wider range of valid outcomes and is generally more interesting than quickloading every stealth fail (which autists like me will do anyways)

I played Thief and Thief 2 for the first time over the last few years. I was lukewarm on Thief outside of a few missions that I loved, and I loved Thief 2 from start to finish and started playing FMs for both of them.
>>
>>683718157
I liked the first half of the final level. I did not like the second half.
>>
>>683721902
That's not specific to Thief FMs, it's a problem with all mods in general. A lot of them are made by autists for "hardcore fans" so they try to make it a challenge except it ends up being tedious bullshit because they don't have the skill or creativity to make a fun challenge that works within the game's mechanics well and end up either making combat kill you in one hit, have additional bullshit mechanics and health bloat all enemies, or do stuff like you mentioned for a non-combat game.
