Thief Developer: PC Version Not A Port

Eidos Montreal says that the PC version of the upcoming stealth action adventure reboot for the Thief franchise will not just be a port of the console versions of the game, and says that it will be an excellent game on its own merits.

“Honestly, if you’re a PC gamer, you’re going to be in love with [this] version,” Eidos Montreal producer Stephane Roy told GameSpot, while also crediting developer Nixxes Software (also worked on Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s and Hitman: Absolution’s PC version and Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition), calling them “really, really good.”

“They are going to have a PC version, not a port,” Roy continued. “The PC version looks amazing also. The PC version is very solid.

“All the PC options you can imagine are there,” Roy concluded.

Thief comes out tomorrow itself in North America and on Friday in Europe. There’s been plenty of hype surrounding the title’s release, but does it live up to the hype? Check out our review here.
