NEW longplay of this game on my channel has just come out in late 2021! PC version, as opposed to the OG Xbox here, in 1440p60, on Expert Difficulty! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IWd7mJMnUw

Note: Last hour of the recording is missing, but half of it is loading screens and me saving, and just putting the artifacts into 5 places, and then the ending movie which you can see here in my new longplay from the PC version link above ^.

February 2022 edit: Thief Gold Expert Difficulty 1440p60 longplay out now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH_6ER0-voQ

Longplay of the third entry in the Thief series, Thief III Deadly Shadows, released in 2004 for pc and xbox. This being a longplay of the xbox version. It's running on Unreal Engine 2, same one as Deus Ex Invisible War, same dev also.

Since I'm a big fan of the series, I have to say, this game being on a console, is what's most wrong with it. The game was made with xbox in mind first, then just ported to pc. That's where the main problem starts: limitations. Levels are extraordinarily small, it absosuletly doesn't feel like a semi-open world from Thief I/II. It's like a few corridors put together, and no vertical action at all. This is the biggest flaw of both Thief 3 and Deus Ex IW, levels being so small and limited. It's just a few hubs, and not that much to do in them. Teleports between them are another thing...


The graphics are fine, especially in high res on pc. Excluding maybe the hair textures on npcs. These are weirdly blindingly bright. Guess that's a part of the engine. Framerate also can suffer a lot, but surprisingly, on PAL systems not as much as NTSC. I'm not sure why, but yea. The game often hangs above 30 fps, sometimes even close to 50-60. Compare it to Deus Ex in 480p, that's a tragedy. I've seen it running on NTSC in 20-25 fps range all the time. But enough of that. Stephen Russell came back as Garret, tho the amount of voice actors is probably the same as Oblivion, so 3 or 4. Overall, this Thief is different. Does this mean bad? No, sometimes we love something because it's different. :)


If you enjoyed this shockingly long longplay or just me playing, cosider giving that like to support my channel, or maybe even subscribing to my channel. I'd mightily appreciate it :))
