Eidos' Thief: Deadly Shadows Breaks and Enters Store Shelves
Across North America Today
Gaming's Only Master Thief Is Back in the Latest Installment of the Acclaimed
Series
SAN FRANCISCO, May 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eidos plc , one of the world's
leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today announced it
has shipped to stores across North America the highly-anticipated Thief: Deadly
Shadows for the Xbox(R) video game system from Microsoft and PC. Thief: Deadly
Shadows is the third chapter in the Thief saga, which originated the stealth
gaming genre. For the first time in Thief franchise history, the game will be
available on a game console and will feature a third-person perspective. Thief:
Deadly Shadows leaves actions, decisions and consequences in the hands of the
gamer -- the master thief Garrett.
In Thief: Deadly Shadows players are tasked with saving the world from an
impending dark age. As in the original game, stealth, character choices,
weapons and tools work in combination with a richly interactive world to give
players freedom to solve game problems the way they want to, rather than simply
figuring out the path game designers had intended. Gamers can sneak, club,
distract or kill their way past any problem encountered within the game world.
"When the first Thief game shipped, it was about the only stealth game
available. That didn't last long -- Thief spawned a host of competitors and
imitators. But Deadly Shadows is, to my mind, the ultimate stealth simulation.
It isn't just an arcade game or an action game masquerading as a "sneaker," but
a full-blown simulation of a world where shadows are your only friends, silence
your greatest ally and every character you meet a potential threat. Everything
in the game, from lighting to sound to AI to physics to the tools and weapons
you carry -- everything is designed for stealth. Throw in a strong storyline
and a truly memorable central character -- Garrett, the master thief -- and you
have the makings of something really special," says Warren Spector, studio
director of Ion Storm.
Thief: Deadly Shadows features a powerful physics system, amazingly intelligent
AI, dramatically enhanced character modelling and animation, a groundbreaking
sound propagation system, state-of-the art lighting and graphics, and for the
first time in franchise history -- a third person perspective. The game systems
combine to enhance gameplay and challenge the player.
