Eidos' Thief: Deadly Shadows Breaks and Enters Store Shelves Across
North America Today Gaming's Only Master Thief Is Back in the
Latest Installment of the Acclaimed Series SAN FRANCISCO, May 25
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eidos plc , one of the world's leading
publishers and developers of entertainment software, today
announced it has shipped to stores across North America the
highly-anticipated Thief: Deadly Shadows for the Xbox(R) video game
system from Microsoft and PC. Thief: Deadly Shadows is the third
chapter in the Thief saga, which originated the stealth gaming
genre. For the first time in Thief franchise history, the game will
be available on a game console and will feature a third-person
perspective. Thief: Deadly Shadows leaves actions, decisions and
consequences in the hands of the gamer -- the master thief Garrett.
In Thief: Deadly Shadows players are tasked with saving the world
from an impending dark age. As in the original game, stealth,
character choices, weapons and tools work in combination with a
richly interactive world to give players freedom to solve game
problems the way they want to, rather than simply figuring out the
path game designers had intended. Gamers can sneak, club, distract
or kill their way past any problem encountered within the game
world. "When the first Thief game shipped, it was about the only
stealth game available. That didn't last long -- Thief spawned a
host of competitors and imitators. But Deadly Shadows is, to my
mind, the ultimate stealth simulation. It isn't just an arcade game
or an action game masquerading as a "sneaker," but a full-blown
simulation of a world where shadows are your only friends, silence
your greatest ally and every character you meet a potential threat.
Everything in the game, from lighting to sound to AI to physics to
the tools and weapons you carry -- everything is designed for
stealth. Throw in a strong storyline and a truly memorable central
character -- Garrett, the master thief -- and you have the makings
of something really special," says Warren Spector, studio director
of Ion Storm. Thief: Deadly Shadows features a powerful physics
system, amazingly intelligent AI, dramatically enhanced character
modelling and animation, a groundbreaking sound propagation system,
state-of-the art lighting and graphics, and for the first time in
franchise history -- a third person perspective. The game systems
combine to enhance gameplay and challenge the player. About Eidos
