On the link I posted there's a description of how to alter the .ini files to move the interface more out to the sides. Looks to me like they shipped the demo with Xbox settings or something, I mean look at that huge text! (again)
I liked the gameplay and the shadows. The textures were WAY too low-res, but I hope that's just to limit the size of the demo (in which case I wonder why they included a Thief 3 video, but who knows)
I don't like the fact that it takes 4 headshots to kill a guy. That's one of the things I liked most about the first, one headshot one kill. That's realistic, that's stealth.
But the whole interface is pretty annoying. One grenade takes up the same space as a flamethrower? Come on.
One type of ammo for all weapons? The pistol uses the same ammo as the flamethrower? WHY?
Oh, and somehow the bar entrance guy can disable a police baton I found. With a code.
But as I wrote there are lots of ways of tweaking stuff. Hopefully some real fans will sit down and make the game truly like the first one, I know it's possible to tweak locational damage, and it must just be a matter of time before somebody figures out the rest.
I can't believe they released this, thinking we we going to like it. Maybe it's all just a joke. Yes, that's what is is. A joke. Ha ha.
