Opportunity makes a thief.

If you happen upon gameplay footage for Thief and start to wonder why it appears similar to , know that Dishonored is actually what appears similar to Thief. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all, and old-school gamers will understand that this latest attempt at a reboot for the Thief franchise would actually be "Thief 4" (and it actually would have stayed that way if Eidos Montreal and Square Enix didn't drop the number for a cleaner name).

In keeping with the spirit of the series, the core gameplay of the reboot is about stealth, pitting yourself in the role of the master thief Garrett. As a dexterous wielder of the blackjack, Garrett isn't completely defenseless against the night watch patrolling the ragged streets of Blackstone, but if he's surrounded by more than two guards, it's better for him to flee into the shadows and fight another day. After all, he's not a heavily muscled bull of a man, but a swift gray fox with a stoic demeanor.
