Guess that means no DX3



Posted by: B.R.Denton

i read that too earlier today.. anyway, there wasn't really being any DX3 developed, and honestly, if it would be like DXIW, i don't mind much.. not that DXIW is that bad, it's still pretty good... but the disappointment is undoubtable..



Posted by: Psyko149

okay, so DXIW didn't have many resemblances with DX and it has been semplyfied to hell, but it's still DX. Of course I prefer the original DX. the only one i can still be sure it's really DX, but i didn't find the IW that bad either. and i really wanted to see how the DX3 turned out. Maybe it would have been more like what we expected from DXIW in the first plac, and didn't get...

oh well....I was hoping Dx3 would be something like DX.

me too tiper

Well, seeing as the thief series has reached a certain point where it wouldn’t be logical to continue and that the DX series has reached it's end with number 2 (and no matter how good DX 2 would have been any advancement in the series would have lost the original spirit) I can safely say that the dismantling of Ion Storm doesn’t affect me as much. I just hope that future games will be just as satisfying as DX was and still is.

i guess everyone was hoping there'll be a DX3 that would be like DX.. however, the DXIW, although a pretty good game, still left a painful mark in my memory, a mark of disappontment..

oh well, doesn't seem like we'll find out what DX3 was gonna be, if there was gonna be one..

it would've been better if they released a editor for DXIW.

I think they wanted to, but they screwed up the technology so badly it became next to impossible.

Would a possible Thief 3 editor be adaptable?



Posted by: Psyko149

i doubt that. still, if you find out how to adapt, please do share.



Posted by: Random

Even if some talented people wanted to adapt a Thief 3 editor to DX2, I doubt there would be enough interest to make mods anyway. There were only a handful for DX1 and that had a dedicated SDK and a much bigger fanbase. The Thief 3 editor might never be released with Ion closed now, too. It's probably best to make a DX-style game in the HL2 or Doom 3 engine, I think. Big audience, tons of support. It's times like this I wish I knew something about programming.
