Fine by me! Ready for next-gen. I have enough still to finish on the current consoles, with a fair few games on the way. Happy to wait for Thief. Especially after their excellent job on Deus Ex 3.
As far as I'm concerned Dishonored is Thief 4. They've really botched the handling of this game and I'm not sure if next gen means anything good, especially if it releases next year which would be the first year of the new consoles. And that means games that are still weak and don't know how to take advantage of the new power.
Eh, I assume they're just targeting a high end PC and then adjust the console versions when they have the final specs/hardware. Which I'm pretty sure is what most everyone making next-gen games right now is doing.
Yeah, I could see it really taking off as a franchise if it manages to hit that space where it's an early next gen hit. The reason why publishers say early days of new consoles are exciting and all that.
