Producer of Thief, Stephane Roy, talked about the exclusive features Thief will have on PlayStation 4.
Immersion:
“There are multiple components to this question; an AI component, an audio component, an art component. It’s very important for us to immerse players in our universe. We want to make sure players really feel like they’re Garrett, that they’re part of the environment. So on our side the immersion is key. And honestly, with the PS4, it’s just amazing to see how far we can push this immersion”
Light bar
“It creates a nice feeling when you play in the dark to see it illuminate or darken as you move through the environment. Additionally, the touchpad allows for better menu navigation and makes for a more intuitive way to perform various actions, like navigating the map or selecting weapons”
Motion control
“Way more precise than before. You can use it to adjust your aiming with the bow and the level of accuracy we get with it is really impressive”
Share button
“We give a lot of freedom to the player, and we work really hard to create a systemic AI that will let the player find creative ways to play. Sharing those moments will showcase how they solved various situations — and we’re pretty sure that players will find ways that impress even us”
